Bob Revolution Stroller

If you want a solid jogging stroller, but still like the convenience of being able to use it for non-jogging purposes, the Bob Revolution is an excellent choice. You can unlock the swiveling front wheel to easily navigate around tight corners and shopping aisles, or lock the front wheel forward for jogging. Three inches of suspension and on/off-road tires give the child a smooth, nap-inducing ride.

Baby Jogger Performance Single

If you're a serious runner and plan to log lots of miles with your little one, the Baby Jogger Performance Single is the jogging stroller for you. This stroller, with three 20" wheels, is built on a precision one-piece aluminum frame, which means there are no hinges or joints to weaken during frequent, high intensity use. The large wheels make it one of the easiest joggers to push on the market today. The only caveat is that the big wheels make for a big fold. I own this stroller and I have to remove the wheels -- which is easy to do -- in order to stow it in the back of my SUV. And because the front wheel doesn't turn (which is safer for running), it's tough to use this stroller for shopping and other indoor activities.

The Tike Tech Trax 360 is an extremely light and easy-to-push jogging stroller, and it's priced far below many other swivel wheel single jogging strollers. The Trax 360 is easy for suburban parents to get in and out of the trunk easily, thanks to the small fold and light frame. Other features include a dual rear parking brake, a canopy with moon roof, a seat grab bar, zipper pocket on seat back, and large underseat storage basket.

BOB Revolution Duallie Stroller

The BOB Revolution Duallie Stroller offers all the great features of the Revolution single stroller, but you can take two little ones along for the ride. With inboard rear wheels and measuring just shy of 31" wide, the BOB Revolution Duallie can fit through standard doorways, making it an excellent double stroller for everyday use, as well as jogging. The individually, near flat reclining seats are foam lined and very thickly padded for maximum comfort. The stroller also features a large basket underneath and cupholders in the seating area. In addition, the Revolution Duallie has individual sun canopies so you can adjust them differently for each kid.

Baby Jogger Performance Double

The Baby Jogger Performance Double has the same features and benefits as the Performance Single, but it's built for two. Even with two kids in it, this double stroller's lightweight yet high-strength one-piece aluminum frame offers stability, straight tracking, and a smooth push over all kinds of terrain. With its 5-point harnesses, 20" wheels, and thickly padded seat, this stroller makes sure your kids won't get shaken up, no matter how high the speed. The new addition of a V-brake improves rider safety by making the Performance Double much easier to stop, which is especially important when you have the combined weight of two passengers.

The inSTEP Safari double jogger doesn't have as many bells and whistles as the BOB Revolution Duallie, but it's a sturdy, reliable jogging stroller with a much lower price tag. It features plush seats and shoulder pads, a bumper bar for little hands to grab, 12" front swivel wheel for maneuverability and 16" rear wheels for easy pushing, a storage basket and parent console, and an adjustable height handle. Another huge plus is that it the InSTEP folds compactly with one hand and easily fits in the trunk.
