Is this a good jogging/running stroller or is their ironman better equipped for this?

Absolutely. I've trained for a marathon and done various other distance runs with this. I really like the front swivel tire because its easier for me to turn and maneuver the stroller. My runs take me all over, sidewalks, trails, parks, etc. However my running partner has the Ironman and prefers the locked front wheel. Its a preference thing. Mine does have the ability to have a locked front wheel but that drives me bananas! I would NEVER recommend this stroller to a non runner! Its very costly if your not going to run with it, but for me it's worth every penny since I've done ALOT of running.

I use mine every day to run 3-5+ miles. I absolutely love it and have no complaints. I have no experience with the ironman stroller.

The only running I have done with the City Mini is across car-parks to make my kids burst out laughing. You can swerve about a little doing this and stay on all three wheels, but as Midori has suggested, you wouldn't find this stable enough for decent runs for exercise purposes. One little bump and you would likely topple.For that, you should look up the Baby Jogger Summit XC or another larger stroller. Unfortunately, you have to then also put up with the bigger size factor and the extra cost.I would still recommend a Baby Jogger product based purely on the fantastic folding mechanism.

Unfortunately if you go on the Baby Jogger website they specifically say it's not a "jogging" stroller but I walk around everywhere with it and it rides really well. For jogging my hubby purchased a used BOB Utility Sport. If you're specifically looking for a travel stroller, perhaps you'd like the City Mini since it's a few pounds lighter and I believe it's a bit cheaper...good luck!

I personally have the Jeep Commander jogging stroller (LOVE), works great with that one. I haven't come across too many other strollers that iyt wouldn't work with. It's a pretty basic car seat shape. :)

This is going to sound stupid but i'll say it anyway. The front end of the stroller is so light that you can push down on the handle and lift the stroller off the ground while you jog. I do it all the time because of the wobbly non-lockable front wheel. I'm not fond of it. But it is what it is. Other than that, I think the stroller is a good one. Just can't have kids that are too big (about 4 yrs old is max) because the belts don't allow for large kids, nor is there much leg room. My 4 yr. old boy (sorta big for his size) and slightly tiny/thin 2-1/2 yr. old girl are shoulder-to-shoulder in the stroller. Good thing they don't fight too much.....

Since it has 4 wheels and they aren't all that large, I don't think this is really a good jogging stroller. Baby Jogger is simply the brand name, and they make lots of non-jogging strollers (including this one).

No. It wobbled with a fast walk. Not a good choice for jogging. I sent it back.

In my honest opinion, I (being an avid runner / hiker) do not feel that any of the HBS series are good for actual jogging / running. I've owned the 700 and 730 myself. With this being pretty much the same design, the unit tends to bounce around and rotate a little around the neck. If you are willing to pay more, you might want to consider the Jay Bird X. I own those as well and prefer those for jogging / running. The HBS line is more of a everyday (walk / sit) kind of device.

It's lightweight and maneuvers easily, but I don't think I'd use it as a jogger. The three wheel design works for other joggers bc they are bigger, in this one I think the compact nature wouldn't be an asset for stability. I also have the City Elite and that one I'd use as a jogger, I currently use that to power walk with my dogs. It's much sturdier. All that said, if you still opt for this stroller, get the GT model with real wheels. We use this for travel and as a car stroller, and in just that I am not happy with the plasticy wheels. If you ran w it you'd definitely need real wheels! Hope that helps :) It's lightweight and maneuvers easily, but I don't think I'd use it as a jogger.

It works great at the mall/zoo. It is wider than a regular single stroller, but I never had a problem maneuvering it around stores and at events. I love this jogger!

Actually yes... we already had a stroller with similar shape, a jogger, and is the same thing the front wheel doesn't swivel, and that is actually the safest thing, once you start running is very stable.

We push our city select all over, hills included. It handles really well and feels like a smooth ride. I have not tried jogging with it as I have heard it is not ideal for jogging from a couple of girlfriends with the same stroller. We do walk fast with it with no trouble.

Yes I definitely would. I use this stroller everyday. This difference I have noticed from my friends strollers is the ease of it. Its really easy to move around with. Eben if you dont plan on jogging this is definitely a great stroller.

I LOVE mine and I haven't even completely learned all of it's features. I chose it because my running coach (who also does tri's) has it and I knew that she could help me. I believe it would be a good choice, unless the mountain areas are poor GPS locations. Other than that, I recommend it!

I actually use my 3 wheeled jogging stroller to train with. This is just a great all-terrain stroller. We take this everywhere. My 2.5 year old is tall and she's fine in it. We love it.

Absolutely. I began using the stroller with my 2 month old, for walking only. I started jogging when he was 4 months. I think the recommendation is 6 months, so go for it!

I wouldn't say it's good for jogging, but it's definitely good for power walking, even in the grass. We do travel with this and it's great. The one handle pull to close is awesome and it's not that heavy.
