Baby Jogging Strollers - Get in Shape Again
There's no doubt about it -- having a baby changes your life.
New parents often find that they have to give up some aspects of
their lifestyle and may have trouble fitting in all their
activities. Jogging, however, is one activity that can be
continued after baby is born. Thanks to baby jogging strollers
Mom and Dad can fit in their exercise routine by combining their
jogging with an outing with baby.
A baby jogging stroller is instantly recognizable by its 3-wheel
design. This makes it suitable for jogging over a wide variety
of terrain while providing a comfortable ride for your child.
There are 2 basic styles of jogging strollers - swivel front
wheel or fixed front wheel. A fixed wheel is easier for jogging.
Less effort is needed for steering the stroller and more
attention can be paid to the road and your child. On the other
hand, strollers with swivel front wheels are much easier to
manoeuvre in tight spots. If you want to take your jogging
stroller to the shopping mall a swivel front wheel is more
convenient.
Many companies offer strollers that allow the swivel front wheel
to be locked in position. This offer the best of both worlds -
when jogging the wheel can be fixed and when manoeuvring is
important the wheel can be unlocked.
Jogging strollers are available in either single or double
models. If you have twins or two toddlers the double models are
ideal. Again there are 2 styles of double strollers - the seats
can be positioned side-by-side or front and back. Some parents
find that the front-back arrangement invites hair-pulling,
kicking, and other bad behaviour so keep this in mind when
choosing a stroller.
In either double or single strollers look for models with a
reclining seat. If the seat fully reclines the stroller can be
used with newborns although remember that you should not jog
with children under the age of 6 months.
Other features to look for are storage areas (either underseat
trays or pockets), parking brakes, folding mechanisms, and
detachable wheels.
There are many jogging strollers to choose from, so consider
your needs and you are sure to find a model that suits you and
your child exactly!
