I need your help!
I am in need of a jogging stroller but am not sure which one to get!
I absolutely LOVE to run and I'm dying to get back out there and get into shape.
Since I have a little 4 month old I'll be toting around while I run, I need to know what jogging stroller to get, so please give me your thoughts/suggestions!
Is the BOB really worth the $400+ or is there another kind out there that works just as well but is cheaper? I want something safe for Olivia and easy to push/maneuver for me!

Hey! I'm not a serious runner so I won't give you my opinion but Bonnie wrote a post on it and swears by her BOB. So does my friend Katie.
Check out the CityJogger too...I have the citymini and love it. I do jog with it and it's great with me.
I have a Baby Trend that was like $100. I used it for runs,walks and many other outdoor activities with both my kids and still do occasionally. I never ran longer than 6 miles probably. I liked it fine,but one thing I would say is good to have is a swivel front tire. This makes it easy to keep your pace at turns.
Gonna be honest, the BOB is definitely worth every cent. Maybe you could find one on eBay/craigslist? You can seriously push it with your pinky if you wanted to. It maneuvers so easily.
The BOB is worth it- absolutely. Make absolutely sure you get one with a swivel front wheel or you will not have fun with any jogging stroller. Good luck.
Mine is a Tike Tech. It came from Target so I know it was cheaper than a BOB. I liked it good enough, but I really only used it as a last resort when I had to run with Mallory. It (and Mallory) is just so heavy to push. Maybe the BOB is lighter?
I'm telling you- the Bob is worth every penny. It seriously pushes itself. Seriously. Supposedly they also have great resale value (I haven't sold mine- too attached), but people sell them used for a few years for 3/4 the price you pay new, so that's something to consider. Be sure you get the type you want- they have one that has a front wheel swivel (the one I have) and a fixed wheel for runners who mainly do long straight stretches. We aren't expecting, but are saving for the Bob Duallie ($$$!) because I HAVE to have a Bob. REI had a BOB 20% off sale in May when we got ours...then you have the REI guarantee too, they take back and replace anything that breaks.
Andy was Meagan (Crews)...sorry, wrong sign in.
