When Can You Start Running with Baby?
Do You Need a Double Jogging Stroller?
What to Look for in a Double Jogging Stroller
Five-point safety harness. Ensuring your kids are safely strapped in is vital, especially if you’re running downhill or over rough terrain. A five-point harness safely restrains your child at the shoulders and hips.
Weight. Before you invest in a double jogging stroller, consider how much it weighs and if possible take it for a test spin. A lightweight stroller is best as you’ll be pushing the stroller, plus the added weight of your two children.
Wheel type. Jogging strollers typically have three large wheels (one lockable wheel at the front and two larger wheels at the back). The best options have pneumatic wheels—similar to bike tyres—with built-in suspension. This type of wheel glides over rough terrain, absorbs shocks for a smoother ride and offers the least resistance while running.
Wrist strap. A wrist strap tethers you to the stroller, so it won’t roll away from you even if you’re traveling at speed.
Sun shades. The warmer months are ideal for outdoor exercise, but it’s important to protect your little ones from those UV rays. An adjustable sun visor offers shade and protects them from the glare of the sun. Just don’t forget to apply sunscreen too!
Easy fold and storage options. A jogging stroller is specifically designed for exercise and may not be suitable for everyday use. With this in mind, it’s best to buy a model that has a compact fold for easy storage.
