Running with a jogging stroller is a great way to get your shape back after having a baby. Keep in mind most pediatricians do not advice using jogging strollers for infants under 6 months of age. This is because baby’s neck muscles are not strong enough for a rough ride and it may cause damage to your infant’s neck and spine.

Before buying a running baby stroller consider that these strollers are more expensive than standard strollers. They are not nearly as compact and not as easy to maneuver as a standard stroller.

Important safety features your running baby stroller should have:

5 point harness that can easily be locked and unlocked. (by the parent)
Fixed front wheel or swivel wheel that can be locked in place for on road running.
Hand break for when you are running.
Wheel locking brakes or foot activated parking brakes.
Safety leash so you can attach your wrist to the stroller.
Reflectors that make the stroller visible when you are running at dusk.
At least 16” or 20” wheels.
