Has anyone jogged with this stroller? If yes was it easy to use?

Hi, Yes love this as a jogger. I spent a month researching since these things are so expensive and have been very pleased with this model. You lock the front tire for jogging and it handles great. Absorbs bumps well too. I have a 26 lbs French bulldog and you end up with a great arm workout as an added bonus.

I have not jogged with it but it is nice to use the only time I had a little trouble with it was folding it up to fit in a small car trunk

I don't jog but I don't see any reason why you couldn't. It's easy to push and turns with no problems.

We have really loved using this stroller for running and it does really well. Haven't tried the BOB so can't say. But overall we have definitely enoyed it for walking, running, everything. One of the best things is that you can lock the front wheel for running or you can unlock it for walking. Lots of other joggers that we saw only have a locked front wheel. The only problem we've had with it is that it would pull to one side when locked. We figured out that the front wheel was not totally straight and contacted Joovy for a replacement. They were SUPER easy to work with and we got the new one in two days. Great customer service is always a big plus for products.

That is exactly what I use it for. It's the only stroller I have! It's a little heavy compared to a cheap umbrella stroller, so the loading in and out of the car trunk is a little heavy (esp. if you're pregnant like me), but definitely doable. I use mine for errands as well as exercise walks (and very slow jogs) around my neighborhood. I take mine with me everywhere.

I jogged with mine with a 5 month old. I had a different stroller before that and did jog with him either in the car seat carrier or all supported in blankets and a boppy

Heidi! This stroller is indeed a great and comfortable fit for toddlers - when I purchased it my 2 1/2 yr. old daughter fit great and was very comfortable. The handlebar height would b good for you because you are taller - it is set to a pretty high level. However, choosing this Graco over a B.O.B. I would say, all depends upon how much you plan on using it for actually jogging.. If I wasn't going to run a lot with my daughter I would've definitely kept this stroller because it is very durable and comfortable. If you read my review on it, though, it definitely was not nice to use on a run! It was too heavy and loud and has no shock support, so unless you are running on a smooth, straight road every single day it isn't what you want! I read a lot of reviews that said they chose a B.O.B over this Graco simply because it was lighter... I ended up exchanging my Graco for a Schwinn Turismo and I have to say, I couldn't be happier and more pleased with my decision! Hope this information helps!!!

I could see some LIGHT jogging with this stroller. It is great for hauling 2 little ones around and getting in doorways. It is comfortable for the kids and even fits in the TSA scanner. It is heavy though and would have a hard time on rough terrain.

I've used mine for jogging on pavement and it's great. You just lock the front tires and it's very stable and easy to steer. Also, this stroller does have suspension (hidden in the rear frame forks) so it's actually quite a comfortable ride on the run. Of course the suspension is nowhere near as much as a jogger would have, but even so, for simple runs on pavement I use my Vista instead of my BOB.

You can walk quickly, but the front wheel starts to shake if you start jogging. I'd recommend getting the larger front wheel upgrade that doesn't rotate if you want to jog.

You can certainly walk quickly. I don't jog because my dog is 70+ pounds and the sidewalk is bumpy. But if you are running on the smooth road then yes you probably won't have any trouble jogging and pushing the stroller at the same time. It will build up your arm muscles!

Baby's not born yet, so have not tried. But it does not appear to be designed for running (it has small wheels). Hope that helps.

I love this stroller. We walk on and off paved paths without a problem. And it is pretty light as long as you keep the tires aired up.

I wouldn't expect to jog with it for two reasons: 1) the tires are not inflatable bike tires like you find on jogging strollers so the ride is bumpy and 2) the front wheels turn easily enough that you would constantly need to course correct. It's still a phenomenal stroller, though it isn't necessarily built for that purpose. We opted for this one instead of the jogging stroller because we realized that running would be the exception of use cases for us, whereas everyday walking is the norm.

This comes with 2 front swivel wheels. I haven't jogged with it, but I have taken walks and it's smooth ride for the kids. The handle bar is adjustable so it works for me (short) & my hubs (tall).

It is great! This stroller is so easy to maneuver even with one hand, the wheels and suspension are great and glides so easy! I never bump into things. It is really the perfect size stroller that glides so nicely and smoothly! It fits super compact when folded with the seat and doesn't seem bulky at all to me. Hope this helps!

I love this stroller. It is easy to push, turn and set up. It is a heavy stroller when lifting but worth the lifting. I have used it for my grandchildren from the time of newborn and a toddler ages.

The front wheel is fixed, and yet to turn while running, I never felt like I had to jerk the stroller sideways or lift it in order to turn. e.g. turning around a corner while running, I would just point it in the that direction and run. Our previous lemon jogger did have that jerking/lifting sensation to turn and it was awful. This is an awesome jogger.

Hi Alison, the City Select is not designed as a jogging stroller. Baby Jogger recommends AGAINST running with this model. The name "Baby Jogger" is 30 years old, when the company only made joggers, and other non-jogging models are also available today. Understandable confusion! The City Select would be fine for powerwalking and fast walking as exercise. Hope that helps!
