What pros does this have over the summit x3? if the summit has suspension wouldn't that be better for jogging? I intend to train for a half marathon.

The X3 is a hybrid, which can be used for everyday use as well as jogging. I already own the city elite, so I purchased the FIT to run with. I'm not sure but I believe the fit is lighter. Most races are on road ways so the fit sould be just fine at any race. Fit has worked well for me and have recommended it to many runners.

Hello, I ended up returning my mountain buggy for the baby jogger summit x3 the newest one. The mountain buggy was a nice stroller, I just found it to not be as comfortable for my little one. I am not recalling the difference from the 2013 and the prior version, I called the company and asked all my questions, they are absolutely wonderful and very helpful! Good luck.

i don't jog but it looks sturdy enough to allow you to jog with it. i use this stroller daily; for my dog who is partially blind. it is by far the most rugged i have owned. i put a cushion inside ; you might want to do that so the ride is smoother for your dog. the stroller is also very easy to maneuver; i stand 5ft 6 inches and the handle is at the right level.

I've had the single and double version of the city mini. I personally found the single fine to jog with... A little heavy but good on flat paved surfaces. I found the double to be more of a convenient, light, fast walking stroller. I run a good amount and used both through toddler age for my kids. If you are looking to jog (10 min miles or slower) I feel like this is fine. I don't think it is the best for running. If you are looking to go faster, best RUNNING stroller is the B.O.B

I wouldn't say it's good for jogging, but it's definitely good for power walking, even in the grass. We do travel with this and it's great. The one handle pull to close is awesome and it's not that heavy.

Not sure if this product would work for you based on your discription on what you need. I would consult a specialist first. I just needed mine for support while jogging.

I've hear of the E-MAXX upgrading to velineon 3500 but not Summit. Thanx for asking!

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 :)

I have this model and don't jog with it. Jog strollers typically have larger wheels made for fast travel on bumpy terrain. These wheels are smaller.

I'm not using it on a summit, using mine on an SCX-10, but I am going to get one for my slash 4x4 when money allows. Metal gears, more torque, and still waterproof! My stock 2075 in my slash crapped out after like 4 packs for no apparent reason... so for me it is definitely a worthwhile upgrade!

Personally I think it is too squishy for running in place. I've tried jump roping and jumping jacks with it and I feel like it makes me too unstable so I use a thinner mat for stuff like that. Hope that helps :)

So far I've had no problems with its durability. It hasn't broken and seems very strong. The only possible downside is that it shakes a bit during high intensity activity (I use mine for freerunning and parkour). Not really anything you can do about that though from what I can see.

I have never ran with this but have gone on plenty of walks. The shocks are okay but I would probably suggest a jogger stroller. It's a little tough to steer through grass and rocks walking. I cannot imagine at a jog or run pace.

Yes. My 4 yr old is 40 inches and 40 lbs and has room to grow. We tested every jogger made and the Summit X3 held our large kids the best. It's the main reason we chose it.

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.

It is good for me and I use it only when outside weather doesn't allow me to walk my 3-mile circuit. I find you can exert yourself more or less as you choose; there are times when I wish this did have more resistance. It sounds as though you are a seasoned fast walker or runner. If so, the Supreme with more resistance would probably be better for you. I didn't know there was one or I may have gotten that instead.

I use it for my jogger city elite is very good the only thing is the closing in the middle and have to reach under it.
