A few things to bear in mind when looking at jogging baby strollers

Are you ready to conquer the outdoors? Jogging baby strollers are at home on all terrains, even bumpy footpaths, and are designed to be used when running, jogging or walking quickly. Furthermore, because of the way they have been built, you won’t be compromising the safety of comfort of your child.

In order to find the right stroller you will have to consider how you intend on using it. There are several features that you may be interested in. A standard no-frills stroller will be fine if you are going to be using it on flat pathways and pavements. However, on harsher terrains you might need to opt for a more expensive one that comes with shock absorbers and a more sturdy frame.

Here is a list of optional features that you may want to consider;

How easy is it to fold – This can be the difference between an excellent stroller and a good one. Many people look for strollers that are easy, and quick, to fold, and many come with one-handed fold systems so you can hold your baby in the other arm.
Adjustable Camopy – This might not be a requirement but if you are out in the sun a lot it helps if the canopy can be moved so you can protect your baby at any time of day.

Storage – An essential for most parents. Jogging baby strollers dont usually have as much storage as some of the larger ones but there still should be enough to hold your baby supplies.
Reclining Seat – A reclinging seat will help you keep your baby comfortable at all times – change the position to lay flat at nap time and make it more upright for viewing time.

Is the handlebar adjustable – This is such a small feature but it is a favourite amongst many parents. Ideal for when mum and dad are different heights as it lets them both use the stroller comfortably.

Warranty – Not usually a deal breaker as many strollers are solidly built but you might want to look at how long it is guaranteed for as a sign of build quality.

As you can see there is a lot to consider and you should make sure the stroller fits your needs. With a little bit of thought you can pick out a gem amongst even the best baby strollers.
