Why I Choose a Jogging Stroller

August 16, 2009 by  

I was running on the treadmill at my local gym when a new mother hopped onto the treadmill next to me. Much to my surprise she was holding her baby. I asked her why she was carrying that new baby on a treadmill. She said she couldn’t bear to part with her little one, yet still wanted to get a workout in. After about ten minutes she was extremely tired and her baby was crying. Now what? Well within a few days I saw her again. This time she wasn’t at the gym. She was running outside the gym. She was jogging behind her nice, new jogging stroller. Mom was happier and her baby was happy too.

I have had several moms e-mail and ask “Is a jogging stroller right for me?” Well there are a few factors to consider.

First, if you prefer to run on the treadmill at the gym then you probably won’t need a jogging stroller. However, if you are like me and enjoy running outside and spending time with your baby then a jogging stroller is the best way to go.

When you choose to buy a jogging stroller don’t forget important safety features like a hand brake and wheel locks for easy stopping, safety belts and the five point harness. Your child’s safety should always come first. The five point harness is great for toddlers and small children.

Also consider your child’s comfort. You may want to look into a reclining seat and a canopy. It is also a good idea to wait until your child is holding his or her head up and sitting independently before using the jogging stroller. However, there are safety products you can buy if you would like to use your jogging stroller sooner.

When we’re running in cool or cold weather, we may be hot or comfortable in minimal clothing, but a child is not doing the exercise. Don’t forget to dress your little one in warm clothes, especially if you’re running or walking in the wind. Short runs are best with your child. Competing while pushing your running stroller is not recommended.

I prefer a jogging stroller versus a regular stroller because I enjoy being outside. I have found that my jogging stroller makes it a lot easier to push on non-paved roads and it moves at a faster pace

    If you really want to talk about products that are useless and wasteful – have a child. I'm 6 months pregnant and out of curiousity more then anything I stopped by a Babies 'R' Us recently. I overheard this conversation between 2 women, which I can only assume were compiling a registry.

    “You really need to get this electric baby wipe warmer”
    “Why?”
    “Babies hate it when you wipe their bottoms with cold wipes”
    “Can't I just warm it in my hands?”
    “It doesn't work like that!”

    It's amazing the amount of crap they try to convince you is “needed”. I'm possibly a very naive first time mother but the way I see it babies need – breastmilk, shelter and love. Apart from safety products, everything else is nice but not a necessity. Now, I've got to get a list together for my baby shower… ugh.
