Is this stroller good for running long distances? Would I be better off buying the BOB Revolution? Thank you!

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.

I think it would do very well on long distance runs. I don't have any experience with BOB strollers, so I can't make a comparison.

It handles well while running. I haven't ran with a BOB but for the price, i wouldn't trade it.

Not a runner, but it is easy to push and turns on a dime. I choose this over the bob because it holds more weight than the bob.

Are there any cons to this double jogger? I'm looking to use it with my 7 month old & 3 & 1/2 year old. I'd like to use it as my everyday stroller as well as jogger

I bought this stroller when my baby was 4months old. He was supported and held in there well with the shoulder straps and seat recline. I didn't run with it as I read you shouldn't until the baby is 9months, but as for walking on off road terrain with some bumps, my son was totally supported and I felt beyond confident with the stroller. I would say if you are planning to walk with your newborn he/she would be fine.

This stroller is awesome! I nannied for two boys (1 and 3) and this stroller was awesome for many uses from travel to putting them to sleep. Rain cover is really handy too. I will mention I was in a quiet area and didn't have to do sidewalks and load unload from car often in that case I think you might find it a little on the bulky side depending in your needs.

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!!!

No, I definitely would not recommend running with this stroller. It is not stable enough for running (wheels are not large enough and it topples too easily).

The Bob is so much better for jogging... I had the bob and then bought this one when we moved to the city because it is more narrow. But the bob is smoother and easier with the bigger wheels and there's really no comparison for a jogger.

I have yet to use this particular stroller in the snow (I have used the BOB revolution in the snow and it was awesome) but I am confident it will stand up to the snow just fine. I use it at the beach and it goes through the sand without any problems. This stroller is awesome, you don't even need to use 2 hands to navigate it.

It's really not very good on rough or rocky terrain, although locking the front wheel will help a little (but that makes it harder to turn), and it's better than most strollers - I have yet to try ANY that are good for rough or rocky terrain. It's a beast just to get it up/down curbs and wobbles a lot, so best to stick to smooth surfaces. As long as I stay on pavement/sidewalks, it's a dream and I can handle it with one hand. If I'm going off-road for walks and hikes, we use the Kelty backpack instead :)

I've had the single and double version of the city mini. I personally found the single fine to jog with... A little heavy but good on flat paved surfaces. I found the double to be more of a convenient, light, fast walking stroller. I run a good amount and used both through toddler age for my kids. If you are looking to jog (10 min miles or slower) I feel like this is fine. I don't think it is the best for running. If you are looking to go faster, best RUNNING stroller is the B.O.B

I don't think it would be good for jogging... 1) it's heavy 2) the wheels are little in circumfrince for jogging... I wouldGo with a jogging stroller madeFor jogging with high reviews

I definitely recommend this stroller, its very maneuverable and is great for jogging, running and walking. It is also great on the street bumps. I LOVE this stroller and my daughter also...

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.

Yes and I returned mine... Worst stroller ever. I loved it for a few weeks then hated it. It scratches easy, cheaply made, the accessories are too expensive and my kids were never comfortable and the tires never say full of air. Buy the bob ... Way better!

It strolls and maneuvers very easily. However, the wheels are hard so if the surface you are walking on is rough there will be air of vibration and I don't think the wheels would last long on a rough surface. Mine has had heavy use and has lasted through 1 baby and is now being used for a second baby so it is durable. I use a Bob stroller for our numerous long walks because the tires are like bicycle tires.

The BOB strollers are Top of the Line products, so I would be safe to say they probably have an excellent warranty. However, because I bought this stroller for my daughter who lives in a different state than I, I really can't say for sure. I would think that if you visit their website, you could easily find the answer to your question. I have no complaints from my daughter about the Bob stroller, all she really ever says is how much she loves it.

It seems a bit heavier than a previous jogging stroller I had. I never verified accuracy of that but it doesn't have the safety cord so this alone screams "not a jogging stroller". But I did take it on a 5k once and wouldn't do that again just because it's just harder. The wheels are also more like a dirt bike wheels than a cycling wheel so you'll have more resistance there too.
