How to Pick a Jogging Stroller

Jogging strollers can cost quite a bit of money and they can also last a very long time. That's why picking the right jogging stroller for you and your child is so important. Prior to purchasing a jogging stroller you need to evaluate your jogging routine and your child's needs to make sure you find the jogging stroller that is the best fit for you!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. 
   Double Jogging Stroller

   How many children do you have? The answer to this question will help you decide what type of jogging stroller you need. If you just have one small child a single jogging stroller would meet your needs. But if you have more than one child a double jogging stroller would be better for you.

2. Are you training for a marathon or just taking a jog around your neighborhood? The type of jogger you are makes a difference in the type of stroller you need. If you are a serious runner a fixed wheel stroller would be best for you. Swivel wheel strollers are great for regular jogging, trips to the park and zoo, and shopping at the mall. But if you are going to be doing some serious running a swivel wheel will be to wobbly for your comfort.

3. While the comfort of your child and you as a jogger are important safety is ultimately the most important thing. Being comfortable means nothing if you are not safe. Therefore it is important to always pick a jogging stroller that has the ASTM certification. ASTM certification means that the stroller has met the rigorous standards set by the jogging stroller industry.
