How to Choose a Good Jogging Stroller
If you lead an active lifestyle and you want to include your new
family additions in your outdoor activity then you need to
consider getting yourself a good jogging stroller.
Choosing a jogging stroller can be like trying to decide on what
car to buy. There are so many things to consider when making a
decision. A good jogger can set you back anywhere from $79 to
about $400. This is a lot of money but you get what you pay for.
There a several brands on the market and if you have been doing
your research you will notice that each brand will have its own
unique selling point. Before you decide to buy its important to
know what you will be using it for. If you are someone who just
wants a jogger for the odd brisk walk in the park or as an every
day stroller then you will find there are brands that will suit
this kind of activity.
The most noticeable difference in a jogging stroller is its
wheel size. If you are a casual user then a jogger with smaller
wheels will suit you. Smaller wheels are better for smooth
surfaces. Smaller wheels are also usually easier to turn. If you
are an avid runner and want to use your jogger for regular runs
then you would have to opt for one with bigger wheels.
Bigger Wheels are much better for negotiating rough terrain and
other obstacle like curbs and steps. The bigger wheels will help
you glide over all types of terrain giving a much smoother ride.
Certain Joggers are fitted with Shocks and Suspensions and are
recommended for off road use. Joggers will have a fixed nose
wheel which makes it more stable when being pushed at high
speeds. If you are using your jogger for running or just around
the supermarket then opt for a jogger that has a swivel wheel
which can be locked into place if you decide to go out for a
run. Swivel wheels will allow much easier manoeuvrability in
small spaces.
The most important aspect of choosing a Jogger is that it must
be comfortable for your child. If you are going to go running
then you need to make sure the ride is comfortable and smooth.
Make sure your jogger had reclining seats. Your child may fall
asleep while you are out running so it is important that they
are in a comfortable lying position. Most Joggers will not have
a fully reclining seat due to the nature of the design.
If you look after your Jogger then it will hold its resale
value. When you come to sell it you will find there will be no
shortage of buyers. These are expensive items so many people
will look to purchasing a used one.
