Not only does the best jogging stroller<\/strong>\u00a0make the world a bit more accessible<\/strong>, but it can also provide such a smooth ride that babies are rocked straight to sleep or at least have enough comfort to enjoy the ride.<\/p>\n To find the best jogging strollers, we sought out some promising candidates and put them to the test. We wanted to ensure they rolled well, were ergonomic, had good storage space, folded easily, and had great hand\/brake control.<\/p>\n Most jogging strollers are big, due to their long shape and three-wheel design. Even when folded, they take up a lot of room in your trunk and garage. So, in addition to running, we stashed them in two cars: a Jeep Cherokee (easy fit, but harder lift) and a Toyota Prius (easy lift, but harder fit). They all passed the fit test when folded, so depending on how much other crap you keep in your trunk, you should be good. As for the double joggers, your trunk would need to be fairly empty for a manageable fit.<\/p>\n This guide will help you choose the perfect jogging stroller for a wide range of needs and uses. To wrap up our thorough analysis, you\u2019ll find our helpful comparison chart<\/a><\/strong>, buyer\u2019s guide<\/a><\/strong>, and frequently asked questions<\/a><\/strong> at the end of the guide.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Note: We updated our Jogging Strollers guide on May 6, 2024. We added the smooth, ergonomic UPPAbaby Ridge All-Terrain Jogging Stroller<\/a>, Thule Urban Glide 3<\/a>, and others. We also added stroller safety tips from a pediatrician.<\/em><\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLarge 12\u2033 + 16\u2033 foam-filled, never-flat tires with a deep tread<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tReliable disc hand brake system to slow down smoothly<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCan be used from birth with convenient adapters for the car seat or bassinet<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExtendable canopy with mesh window and zipper pocket<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGood storage basket<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOne-handed fold<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLike all jog strollers, it\u2019s long so not great as a one-and-done stroller<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n If you live anywhere in or near a big city, you\u2019ve likely been seeing these UPPAbaby strollers everywhere. The UPPAbaby Ridge All-Terrain Jogging Stroller<\/a> <\/strong>($600) can be used from birth all the way to 55 lbs. Many joggers have a car seat adapter for babies, but this has the option of a bassinet or car seat, which really makes it one of a kind. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n The Ridge worked as well on mellow trails as it does on city sidewalks, which is a bonus if you\u2019re a city dweller or visitor. Our tester jogged to the park, ran across lawns, and chugged up dirt trails in upstate New York, and this stroller felt smooth on every kind of terrain. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n The unboxing was smooth, as well. The box was large, but that\u2019s because the stroller was almost completely assembled inside. It took us less than one minute to add the three wheels and the cup holder. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n Our tester loved the large wheels (no air needed) and oversized canopy. They also liked the big storage bag underneath that zips closed to hold everything in, even during a particularly bumpy run. It even has a flip top for easy access and a few pockets inside for storage. There\u2019s also a nice screened peekaboo window (not vinyl) and a runner\u2019s wrist strap.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The one-handed fold is easy as well – you just flip up the seat and twist. For a compact fold, you can (carefully) remove the three wheels and then fold. This is a great solution if you have a very small trunk. For our tester, it was an easy lift and fit into trunks of varying sizes. With all this in mind, the UPPAbaby Ridge All-Terrain Jogging Stroller<\/a><\/strong> isn’t the cheapest on this list, but it feels well worth the money. If you’re looking for the best, you’ll have to pay for it \u2014 but you’ll be glad you did. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/a><\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAffordable<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSecure, click-in attachment for all Chicco infant car seats via the included arm bar \u2013 no additional adapter needed<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHand-operated front wheel swivel<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAdjustable suspension<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMulti-position recliner seat<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLow weight limit (50 lbs)<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNot as smooth a ride for pro-runners<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n The best jogging strollers out there can also cost a small fortune, which is why we wanted to highlight Chicco for offering parents an affordable option. The Activ3 Jogging Stroller<\/a><\/strong> ($350) is the prime contender as the most affordable jogging stroller.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Combining the features of a full-size stroller and a jogger, the Activ3 offers versatile functionality at any pace. A lightweight aluminum frame and sleek three-wheel design are easy to maneuver, FlexCore rear suspension adjusts for smooth or rugged terrains, and foam-filled tires perform like air-filled tires but require no maintenance. An extendable UPF 50+ canopy with peek-a-boo windows and reflective details offer parents peace of mind whatever road they\u2019re on.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n While the Activ3 Jogging Stroller<\/a><\/strong> is not the ideal choice for real running parents, it\u2019s great for walkers, hikers and city-tourers \u2014 giving the feel of a jog stroller without the intensity of a run. We wouldn\u2019t marathon with this one, but the features are great for an under-$400 choice. <\/p>\n There\u2019s also a height-adjustable padded handle, a soft parent tray with two cup holders, and a large storage basket accessible from the front and back of the stroller, providing added convenience. It\u2019s important to note that this stroller is only rated up to around 50 pounds, something to keep in mind as your littles grow bigger.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nThe Best Jogging Strollers of 2024<\/h2>\n
