Even without the all terrain wheels, can this stroller handle lots of jogging?

Hi Alison, the City Select is not designed as a jogging stroller. Baby Jogger recommends AGAINST running with this model. The name "Baby Jogger" is 30 years old, when the company only made joggers, and other non-jogging models are also available today. Understandable confusion! The City Select would be fine for powerwalking and fast walking as exercise. Hope that helps!

I have this stroller and while it's definitely not as light and easy to push as a real jogger like the BOB, I've found that on a decently smooth city jogging trail (like the one close to my house), I can do a slow jog and push it just fine. And slow jogging is all I'm doing these days, post baby. :)

Since it has 4 wheels and they aren't all that large, I don't think this is really a good jogging stroller. Baby Jogger is simply the brand name, and they make lots of non-jogging strollers (including this one).

If you really pull on the strap that adjusts the recline, you can get it pretty upright. But it will still be a bit more reclined than a non-jogging stroller.

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 :)

Yes. This is the main reason why the stroller is not a good jogging stroller. Any speed faster than a quick walk makes the wheel swivel back and forth rapidly.

The front wheel is fixed, and yet to turn while running, I never felt like I had to jerk the stroller sideways or lift it in order to turn. e.g. turning around a corner while running, I would just point it in the that direction and run. Our previous lemon jogger did have that jerking/lifting sensation to turn and it was awful. This is an awesome jogger.

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 very smooth! The two small front wheels are not good for jogging however.

I could see some LIGHT jogging with this stroller. It is great for hauling 2 little ones around and getting in doorways. It is comfortable for the kids and even fits in the TSA scanner. It is heavy though and would have a hard time on rough terrain.

Depends. Are you planning on jogging and or walking on trails? If so you would want a real jogging stroller that is built for that. On the occasional dirt road it will work. I love my mini but I mostly just use it on sidewalks. If you are looking for a stroller that can be and do everything I'm not sure it exists. But if most of the time you need a stroller that folds nice, offers a smooth ride under normal conditions, and fits in small store aisles then this will work for you.

The wheels are fine; I dont seem to have problems steering...its a double stroller, its always going to be a bit awkward steering it. However, if you are used to a jogging stroller with large wheels, the Joovy wheels seem sub-par. With two kids, our Joovy goes nearly everywhere with us...you wont regret buying it!

Yes, it is very sturdy. it has a wide wheel base and the back wheel fenders keep wetness and dirt off your pant legs when the ground is wet. Not sure it would be good for jogging. If you jog you may want to get the jogger because it would be designed for that purpose. I like it a lot !

This is the only stroller I've ever had, so it's hard to compare with other 'all terrain' strollers. However we have a very long gravel driveway and it's pretty smooth on it. As for big bumps, it does shake a bit when it comes to bumps, but again who knows how well different strollers can handle bums and pits. My opinion it won't handle jogging on a bumpy road, it has 3 wheels after all, so it does shake.

I go walking almost every day with it and the plastic wheels are wearing down. I wish I had the wheels that are rubber that you can pump up. I wouldn't recommend for jogging.

Handles much better jogging than my bumble ride! I have never had to lock the wheels, although I know that's recommended;-). I confess I even jog with the Joey seat on the front... Def not recommended by the manufacturer. Oops. Handles really well and is the only way to get out of the house with three babies.

The stroller could handle the fields if they are not too bad. We live up north where there's tons of snow/ice making it rough terrain even going around the block! It does make for a rather bumpy ride though for the kiddo as the City Select does not have shocks for the seats like most jogging strollers do.

Yes, I love this stroller. (I have only ever used this as a jogging/walking stroller, I have never used this as a bike trailer.) It's really easy to handle, and I like that it holds my 4'1", 60 lb son with ease.

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.
