subject: The Sports Utility Stroller Is Great For Off Road Or Hiking [print this page] Jogging strollers are probably the most specific" type of strollers. While many of the other types have a more general use, jogging strollers are made for one basic purpose, jogging. They feature three large (16in) pneumatic wheels that allow them to provide a smooth ride for a child, even on the most difficult terrain.
The BOB stroller is a very popular choice among serious athletes and outdoorsmen. It features a frame is more lightweight than the average stroller (20lbs), and high weight limit (70lbs), and an extremely durable frame (it even comes with a 5-year warranty).
It is one of the most expensive jogging strollers at about $350, but does have many useful features such as a large sun canopy, comfortable seat, and lots of storage.
Bob is an American company started by two guys out in California who were crazy about running and biking. The company now designs the official stroller for the famous Ironman-triathalon sporting event. If you are serious about fitness, or a Mom that wants a quality stroller, a Bob is hard to beat.
The Bob jogging stroller comes in many different fixed and swivel-versions.The fixed wheel versions are specially designed for running and will stand up to the heavy pounding of training or marathon running. They feature light aluminum frames for easy pushing, adjustable suspension to control the smoothness of your ride, and a tracking adjustment to make the front wheel drive straight and true.
The swivel comes with a lockout feature that allows you to lock the swivel wheel for straight tracking. The lockout feature is actually so good that you can actually jog or run with a Bob swivel wheel.
One thing that you won't get on a Bob jogging stroller is a built in cup-holder. Of course you can buy a soft attachment that fits on to the handlebar - but is not good for coffee cups or hot liquids. But what you do get is a quality product that will outlast your toddler years. All things considered, a Bob jogging stroller is the way to go.
