The instructions say this stroller isn't for running/jogging, but does anyone run/jog with this stroller and how has it held up?

It's lightweight and maneuvers easily, but I don't think I'd use it as a jogger. The three wheel design works for other joggers bc they are bigger, in this one I think the compact nature wouldn't be an asset for stability. I also have the City Elite and that one I'd use as a jogger, I currently use that to power walk with my dogs. It's much sturdier. All that said, if you still opt for this stroller, get the GT model with real wheels. We use this for travel and as a car stroller, and in just that I am not happy with the plasticy wheels. If you ran w it you'd definitely need real wheels! Hope that helps :) It's lightweight and maneuvers easily, but I don't think I'd use it as a jogger.

I have done light jogging on smooth pavement with mine with no problems. That is not really what this stroller is intended for, but if you mostly use it for walking and outings and occasional jogging on smooth surfaces, I think it would work for you. If you are planning to buy this stroller to use mainly as a jogger, I would recommend you look at the BOB or the Baby Jogger Summit. Those can be both joggers or everyday use strollers.

I bought this stroller when my baby was 4months old. He was supported and held in there well with the shoulder straps and seat recline. I didn't run with it as I read you shouldn't until the baby is 9months, but as for walking on off road terrain with some bumps, my son was totally supported and I felt beyond confident with the stroller. I would say if you are planning to walk with your newborn he/she would be fine.

I haven't jogged with mine, but I think you could jog with it. I never had a problem with my dogs' weight shifting and the stroller being unbalanced and my dogs acted all crazy in it because we were at a pet fair where there were several other dogs getting them excited. I had 2 small dogs in it. One weighs 22 lbs and the other 11 lbs. Hope this helps. PS- if the stroller veers to the left or right it's because the person didn't have the front wheel locked in place to face forward.

I would not recommend if for jogging... wheels are too small for that kind of activity and although it steers well for its weight you wouldn't be able to do it single handed. As for the tires... i'll second the previous post and add they are HORRIBLE! I hope someone is listening at Mountain Buggy...

Unfortunately if you go on the Baby Jogger website they specifically say it's not a "jogging" stroller but I walk around everywhere with it and it rides really well. For jogging my hubby purchased a used BOB Utility Sport. If you're specifically looking for a travel stroller, perhaps you'd like the City Mini since it's a few pounds lighter and I believe it's a bit cheaper...good luck!

We have really loved using this stroller for running and it does really well. Haven't tried the BOB so can't say. But overall we have definitely enoyed it for walking, running, everything. One of the best things is that you can lock the front wheel for running or you can unlock it for walking. Lots of other joggers that we saw only have a locked front wheel. The only problem we've had with it is that it would pull to one side when locked. We figured out that the front wheel was not totally straight and contacted Joovy for a replacement. They were SUPER easy to work with and we got the new one in two days. Great customer service is always a big plus for products.

I've used it for my daughter from 8 or 9 months to now and she is just over 2 years old. I plan on continuing to use it for her. She likes the stroller.

I would say yes, it can be used as a jog stroller. Just lock the front wheel or it will wiggle a lot and force the stroller to make sudden stops. I always lock front wheel when walking fast/jogging or on walking on rough terrain.

I have not used it as a jogger yet. It has been very stable as a trailer providing I ride sensibly. I believe it will be fine as a jogger if jogging occurs on paved decent surfaces and with out abrupt changes of direction. Any jogger is subject to sensible use. I would buy this product again.

Not on the model I have. I have seen others jogging strollers from Baby Trend that can.

Hi, Yes love this as a jogger. I spent a month researching since these things are so expensive and have been very pleased with this model. You lock the front tire for jogging and it handles great. Absorbs bumps well too. I have a 26 lbs French bulldog and you end up with a great arm workout as an added bonus.

When you read the manual for this stroller - it says not intended for jogging. I bought is for jogging and the front wheel does shake if you walk too fast.

I have a five year old and a 2 1/2 yr old and although the weight isn't balanced I love this stroller; I haven't seen a better jogging stroller out there that would be a better fit for an older child. Height wise my 5 yr old is tall for her age but sitting up she still fits; lying down she usually curls up a little bit when she is sleeping but it still looks comfortable.

Yes, it does very well with my single jogging stroller. You have to be a little careful though with the weight balance.

I've jogged with it but it's not designed as a 'real' jogging stroller. We do have a jogging stroller and the regular graco stroller that we got as a travel system w the car seat snd I'll tell you that both of those are in the basement except this mini. We love it. It's lightweight and so easy to operate. We took it to Mexico when our little one turned 1. We didn't have to check it in, again, because it's so light it's considered a lightweight stroller but it's also sturdy and much better quality that most 'umbrella' strollers. We love it and we have no complaints. Oh and it is very much easy to transition from infant to toddler.

Yes! I just used mine last night to walk with the baby downton to the Christmas parade. This stroller is not set up to be a 'jogging stroller' with bike-type wheels for off-road jogging or anything, but as long as there is pavement or relatively smooth grass or dirt surfaces, you are fine. I highly recommend this piece of equipment. We have really loved ours.
