Recommend me a good running stroller

The "BOB." Very light but costly at about $400. You can find used on Craigslist.

Whatever kind of stroller this guy uses.

I also recommend the Bob. We have a bob Ironman and it works great. Running at the pace you do, you want something with a fixed front wheel.

It’s extra but the rain guard is also a good investment.

BOB brand is fine, but I would recommend Baby Jogger brand (which is the brand in the video), with 16 or 20 inch tires. The tires make a huge difference. Fixed front wheel is critical. I have a Baby Jogger III with the shock absorbers and 20in wheels. Thing is bulletproof, and the kids love it. It's going to cost you upwards of $400 whatever brand you go for. The speeds you're looking for require excellent build quality. They also require a helmet for your kid. Not joking. If you're going to be irresponsible enough to push your kid that fast (11-12mph), at least be responsible enough to put them in protective gear. Have fun!

I have been using the Baby Jogger Performance series with a 20" wheel. It works great. The bigger the tire and a fixed front wheel is key if you want to run pretty quick. The new 25th anniversary Performance model looks awesome.

Bob ironman with fixed front wheel. Have used it for past 5 years, no issues except once had to patch a tire. The rain cover is helpful, with that to block the wind, and blankets, my older kid enjoyed going out even when temps dropped to 10-15 degrees.

The helmet suggestion seems a bit excessive- even at 5:30's (fastest I've ever run with it for any distance) there is no shaking, veering, or anything else to suggest that somehow a rollover is eminent.

A dozen years ago I got a Trek because it did both the running and the riding easily and that is a nice thing to have and avoid having multiple pieces of equipment.

The bike trailers tend to be wider, which makes them more stable for running. Also, have a full front wheel (not like the Burleys) is imperative. The bike trailers are also fully enclosed and I could use them throughout the winter even when it was into the teens.

It is a bit more expensive but much less expensive that making two purchases. If you take good care of it, you can sell it later for a decent portion of the original cost, as well. If you go through three kids, you keep "buying it from yourself", of course.

The strange thing about using this for running is that the time penalty was much lower than a lot of people thought. However, afterward I could tell that I had worked harder than an similar pace just running. I often could go almost as fast as without the stroller, in part because I could use it for stability on the downhills (an important thing to consider, narrow running ones are not stable and thus less than safe. One time I turned it over in a combination of a sharp curve and the inner wheel going off then back on the bike trail. My daughter started to cry, decided she was just fine and stopped within 10 seconds or so. The good strollers have 5-point harnesses.

It does help to go on routes where you do not have to go up and down a lot. I live in the right city in this regards, and going up and down would definitely slow the average speed.

I have both the BOB Revolution and BabyJogger Anniversary Addition (w/ the 20 in wheels); I'd liken the BOB to a crosstraining shoe, and the BabyJogger to a running shoe.

BOB's great for a combined stroller/jogger for everyday use. Durable, the option to lock/unlock the front wheel, shocks, ability to recline the seat, good storage, folds nicely, etc. I've run 10 miles pushing my 10 month-old at 6:30-ish pace and it's very smooth. Drawback is the smaller wheel increasing rolling resistance.

BabyJogger's more minimalistic, but does the job it's suppossed to: make life easier on the one pushing without taking any comfort away from your child enoying the ride. My experience w/ the larger wheel is that it is much easier to push the stroller ahead of you, run for 5-10 steps before lightly pushing it again--giving you the opporunity to actually "run" instead of constantly having your hands on the stroller. Drawback would be larger wheels mean more difficult transport--but still fits into a regular trunk.

Another thing to consider w/ babyjoggers in general is the surface/environment of your runs. Ideally, arrow-straight bike/jogging paths are the best. Curvy paths, sidewalks w/ numerous driveway dips, foot/car traffic, etc. get old very quick with either jogger. Hills, obviously can also get old, but I find a few hills here and there are manageable. If you live near some extensive no-car paths, or a very quiet neighborhood with minimal car traffic and relatively flat/straight roads, you're golden.

It may be a bit excessive, but I've gotten mine unstable going around 5:00 pace for a couple of hundred meters. I don't put a helmet on my kids, I just don't go that fast with them in it any more. It's not worth them getting a head injury to have a few people ooh and ahh at how fast you can push a stroller in a 5K. Let's face it, if you're "racing" with a running stroller, it's not really about your performance anymore, is it? It's about your ego.

Anyway, keep your kids safe. Either go at a reasonable speed or put them in protective gear. Simple.
