Running is a big part of life for many. Cardio, endurance, explosiveness, rehabilitation… these are some of the reasons many of us run. But let’s face it – the reason we all run is the feeling it gives us. The power, the energy, the liveliness. The warm sunlight on our faces, the drops of sweat from our eyebrows, the sound of our steady breathing, and the light taps of our feet. That’s why running.

And then the baby comes. The gentle breeze from their little breath, the soft hand that reaches to us, the piercing gaze that touches our soul.

Aaaaand the cries in the night because they can’t move to the side they want! The little lovelies.

They have grown now to meet the world from a new perspective, and see us in our best elements. We want to make sure we are good role models to them and instill exercising habits from an early age. We want to practice to reach our goal because a happy parent can make the child happy. Finally, we need the physique to bear with early parenthood and a good body shape can help us get that extra energy we need.

This is why we’ve dedicated some time to provide you with a review of the best jogging stroller for runners and the follow-ups that might fit your needs a little better.

The Best Jogging Stroller for Runners

Comparison table

This is the table that shows the best jogging stroller for runners in 2021. We have looked for the best, sturdiest products that will help you do your favorite exercise regularly. All products are meant for serious runners.

Best Jogging Stroller for Runners #1: Bob Revolution

Bob Revolution is a jogging stroller specifically designed for regular runner’s needs. The amount of attention and detail that were given to developing the frame is noticeable, especially when you are out on the track. This and a few other facts make it the best jogging stroller for runners that want to pump up the game.

The first thing that distinguishes it from other strollers, especially out of the jogging class, is the size of its wheels. Bob Revolution Pro rolls on two 16” back wheels and a 12.5” front wheel. All wheels are air-filled tires that absorb much of the shock. The size of the wheels determines the track resistance, and since they are so massive, the pushing is much easier, especially over obstacles and rough terrain.

The suspension absorbs shock further. Bob Revolution Pro is among the jogging strollers with the best suspension system. It’s reliable, durable, and absorbs a lot. It can also be adjusted according to the child’s weight. This makes the ride smoother both to the parent and the child.

With the large wheels, suspension, and the comfortable reclining seat (up to 70 degrees to full-upright), the child will feel like they are gliding on a cloud. Great padding, water repellent, and easy to clean, it’s made of quality materials that will last long.

Pros

• Durable
• Large air-filled wheels and suspension
• Handbrake
• Certified swiveling front wheel (lockable)
• Comfortable seat
• Large storage basket and extra pockets

Cons

• Bulky
• Heavy
• Recommended for children 6 months to 3 years old

Best Jogging Stroller for Runners #2: Thule Urban Glide 2.0

If you are looking for something with a slimmer, more agile design to pass through the crowd or a busy urban area, Urban Glide 2.0 should meet your needs.

A padded seat makes the child fit snuggly in it, and with a 5-point safety harness, the child safely sits in the stroller. The backrest adjusts with one hand, and recline can be set to the angle you choose. The seat has two mesh pockets to store the child’s necessities, like toys, coloring books, etc. The back of the seat is equipped with a large pocket, and there is extra storage space under the seat.

The framing of the stroller is unparalleled. The construction is sturdy and elongated which provides better maneuvering at higher speeds. It also helps to gain speed, allowing you to increase your explosiveness. It rests on two 16” pneumatic wheels with a suspension system. The front swivel wheel is lockable and listens to orders.

An adjustable handlebar can fit almost everyone’s height allowing you to find the most comfortable position. When running, it can be handled with one hand. The front-wheel lock is in a neat place, and there are some extra safety features, like wrist wrap and a handbrake.

Pros

• Easy to push 

• Excellent suspension (back wheels)
• Narrow
• Maneuverable
• Handbrake and wrist wrap

Cons

• Longest of the products
• Still long when folded, hard to transport
• Among the most expensive jogging strollers

Best Jogging Stroller for Runners #3: Thule Chariot Cross

Thule also brings us one of the best bike trailers. It can also be used as a running stroller though, especially when considering the sturdiness and endurance. Additionally, there are ski attachments that make a great bobsled out of the product.

Suspension on the back wheels can bear bike speeds, yet the two smaller front wheels (swiveling) are not as tough for rough terrain. As of lately, there is a jogging kit available that adds a single large front wheel. The front wheel is fixed and while its help in gaining momentum is very noticeable, the turning can be a challenge especially at high speeds. The runner needs to resort to lifting the chariot on the back wheels, which is dangerous and difficult at running speeds. The performance is best on straight paths and tracks.

The back wheels are huge, with pneumatic filling, resembling smaller bike wheels than those of an average stroller.

The cockpit allows protection from the elements, and the seating is comfortable. The covering allows good visibility to keep the child amused while on the road. 

The undercarriage storage bin unfolds and is spacious. It includes a parent organizer, an interior pocket to keep things neat.

Pros

• Can be used for jogging, biking, and skiing
• Amazing storage
• Adjustable suspension
• Speedy with the jogging kit
• Good cockpit

Cons

• Heavy
• Children quickly outgrow the cockpit
• Jogging kit sold separately 

Best Jogging Stroller for Runners #4: Baby Jogger Summit x3

Summit is a great jogging stroller that hadn’t gotten enough attention in our opinion. It is an underrated jogging stroller that is worth considering.

It also has large pneumatic wheels with great suspension and shocks that absorb the road bumps like there were none.

A very comfortable and quality padded seat allows for comfort and adjustability of the backrest. It can be lowered completely flat, all with one-hand handling. 

The fold is small and easy to accomplish. It can be easily stored in most trunks, and it doesn’t take much space.

The canopy is huge and it greatly protects the child from the sun, even from the rain (except the lower part of the body).

All in all, this is a wonderful product that deserves more attention and consideration.

Pros

• Highly adjustable seatback
• Breathable materials for the seat and the canopy
• Shocks and suspension
• Sturdy wheels
• Huge canopy

Cons

• Fixed handlebar
• Can’t stand upright when folded
• Handbrake takes time to get used to

Best Jogging Stroller for Runners #5: KidRunner

We mostly talked about push-to-move jogging stroller. With all the obvious benefits we have to acknowledge they are not the only jogging strollers around. There are also tow-to-move jogging strollers, based on a harness.

KidRunner is the best jogging stroller for runners that want to tow instead of push in our opinion. It has some great advantages, the most important being hands-free, which makes you move hands naturally while running.

It has two large wheels that easily cross obstacles, though one has to bear in mind the low framing of the product.

The cockpit for the child is equipped with two pockets in which the child can store their thingies. The harness is tight and comfortable for the parent to wear, and it doesn’t take much time to get used to it.

Furthermore, the company promises the 2.0 version of the product coming soon. 

Pros

• Very light
• Tow, not push
• Comfortable harness
• Two large wheels
• Sturdy construction

Cons

• Bulky
• Low framing can’t get higher obstacles easily
• Very large when folded, needs disassembly

Conclusion

What a serious runner looks for in a jogging stroller is the endurance they’ve got, the fact that they are on the same page (maneuverability), and the comfort and safety it gives their kids. In our opinion, Bob Revolution Pro is the one that ticks all the boxes and gives the above and beyond.

Professional adjustable suspension, sturdy construction, and large air-filled wheels with a certified lockable swivel wheel make gliding over the track close to perfect and near to effortless.
