I am about to dive into the purchase of a running stroller so I can take my baby out on runs - dirt as well as paved roads! The online reviews are very mixed, and seem to be more for the occasional runner. I would love recommendations from serious runners as to which are the best strollers out there!
I have a city elite jogging stroller and love it (retails $450?). It has the option of purchasing attachments for a car seat (another $75) so I was able to run with my baby when he was only 2 weeks old. It has both a swivel and straight front wheel (very helpful) and folds up with one pull on a strap.
Only downside is that it's slightly heavy at 70 lbs, but still completely manageable. Plus, I look at it like it's weight lifting.
Without the stroller I run about 7:00/miles, pushing I'm closer to 7:30-45 but it's not bad at all.
I've got a Chariot. It's great because it has a totally enclosed vestibule/seat, so you can run even when it gets really cold. I've had it for almost three years and it's held up really well. It also converts to a bike trailer, cross country ski trailer, etc.
As for a 70lbs stroller, there's just no way. That's not even possible. Also, there's no way I believe a woman who regullarly runs 7 min/mile is running 7:45 with a 70lbs stroller (maybe that's the weight with a tubby little toddler). The chariot is not light, but I'd say 25 lbs tops. I run 7s, and with the stroller about 7:45
typo on my end...
stroller HOLDS 70 lbs, weighs 25 by self.
It isn't that difficult to run and push something.
1st of all, I wouldn't run with a two week old, that is just irresponsible and dangerous.
2nd, get a BOB Sport Utility. Nothing is better for trails and/or roads. I have run with my daughter since she was 9 months old, and she is now 2.
The thing must have 5k miles and I run sub 7 min pace with it all the time.
