Can this jog on sidewalks and work from infant to toddler? Is there a need for a bulky jogger/travel system (like Graco) too? I only want 1 stroller.

I've jogged with it but it's not designed as a 'real' jogging stroller. We do have a jogging stroller and the regular graco stroller that we got as a travel system w the car seat snd I'll tell you that both of those are in the basement except this mini. We love it. It's lightweight and so easy to operate. We took it to Mexico when our little one turned 1. We didn't have to check it in, again, because it's so light it's considered a lightweight stroller but it's also sturdy and much better quality that most 'umbrella' strollers. We love it and we have no complaints. Oh and it is very much easy to transition from infant to toddler.

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.

Despite the brand name "Baby Jogger", this isn't a jogging stroller, so it can be a bit bumpy on rough terrain. I've "off-roaded" a few times, but my younger baby has definitely given me some indignant looks about being bounced around!

I have this model and don't jog with it. Jog strollers typically have larger wheels made for fast travel on bumpy terrain. These wheels are smaller.

It is not good as primary stroller. Specially if you live in the city, it is too heavy and bulky. It barely fits in toyota Camry trunk. Front wheel came of in 3 months, called them and have been waiting for replacement over 45 days. So I purchased lightweight one and boy what a difference. Going up and down stairs is so easy. Shopping became easy too. Although, i miss it when i got into the parks or hiking.Next, car seat attached is low quality and became too small in just 2-3 months.

no, this shouldnt be used to jog with, its not steady enough at higher speeds, this is just the perfect stroller for traveling or day to day general use - so easy to collapse and carry, lays flat and isnt bulky

The jogger stroller is a little bit bulky. The 3 wheels do easily disconnect (with the push of a button) and easily re-connect (just push / snap into place), which makes more compact and easier to transport. I'm think the stroller would fit into the corolla trunk if you pop the wheels off. With that said, I would NOT consider this a "light weight easy to manage stroller". What we did is purchase this set (jogger stroller and carseat) and we also purchased the "frame stroller" -&gt; Graco SnugRider Elite Stroller & Car Seat Carrier (http://www.amazon.com/Graco-SnugRider-Elite-Stroller-Carrier/dp/B008OIPZW8/ref=sr_1_1?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1408646069&sr=1-1&keywords=graco+frame+stroller). We are glad we did - get the best of both worlds. - The "frame stroller" is super light weight and compact - we keep this in my wife's car trunk all the time and use it whenever we are around town (I.e. grocery shopping, dining, etc). - We use the jogger stroller when going on walks from home, or when we want something more heavy duty (I.e. going to an amusement park, going to the beach, or just about anything that is a longer all-day adventure). Now that our daughter is getting a little bit older / bigger (15 months) she really enjoys sitting in the jogger stroller without the carseat (prefers it greatly over sitting in the carseat). Hope that helps...

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.

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.

I would say yes, it can be used as a jog stroller. Just lock the front wheel or it will wiggle a lot and force the stroller to make sudden stops. I always lock front wheel when walking fast/jogging or on walking on rough terrain.

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!!!

We got this stroller to take it on vacation to Mexico. I am not sure how it compairs to a trend jogger, but we took it to the gate without any issues.

I've done some light jogging with it, but I wouldn't call it a everyday jogging stroller. It doesn't have trail tires and the maneuverability isn't what I would want it I wanted to job with it all the time. Mostly I do a lot of really long walks, mall and zoo trips, etc.

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.

Yes! I just used mine last night to walk with the baby downton to the Christmas parade. This stroller is not set up to be a 'jogging stroller' with bike-type wheels for off-road jogging or anything, but as long as there is pavement or relatively smooth grass or dirt surfaces, you are fine. I highly recommend this piece of equipment. We have really loved ours.

I don't know which one they are selling now. I bought mine last year. It should say in the information description if it is compatible with the city jogger. My daughter puts hers on a stroller that looks like it could be used for jogging.
