Whether you're running a marathon or taking a quick jog around the block, a good jogging stroller makes the difference between a smooth relaxing run and a wild bumpy ride for your little one!

Unlike a traditional stroller, jogging strollers have several features that make them great for your outdoor workout, including larger-diameter wheels, lower rolling resistance, higher stability, longer handlebars, and heavy-duty suspension.

With over 10 years' experience reviewing jogging strollers, if we made our own, here are some of the key features it would have:

✔️  Weight limit ≥ 60 pounds.
✔️  Large diameter wheels.
✔️  Front wheel ≥ 8".
✔️  Rear wheels ≥ 10".
✔️  Lightweight (under 25 pounds).
✔️  Front & rear suspension.
✔️  Pneumatic tires with tread.
✔️  Low rolling resistance.
✔️  Lock & swivel front tire.
✔️  Large storage bin.
✔️  Parent pockets.
✔️  Aluminum frame.
✔️  One-handed fold.
✔️  Stands on its own.
✔️  Highly stable, not top-heavy.
✔️  Durable and reliable operation.
✔️  Folds or disassembles for storage.
✔️  Parking & hand brakes.

Of course, you will also want the stroller to meet your style preferences, fit easily into your vehicle or apartment, and meet your budget constraints.

Full disclosure: Some of these strollers, including the Baby Trend and Chicco models, were sent to us as free test samples by the manufacturer.

Over the past 16 years, we've tested over 50 different jogging strollers, testing features, usability, comfort, versatility, safety, and value.

According to the American College of Sports Medicine and pediatric exercise experts, running with a properly designed jogging stroller allows parents to safely combine exercise with childcare, provided that babies are at least 6–8 months old and have strong neck control.

A stable, well-built stroller helps protect your child from excessive vibration and ensures smoother, safer runs on varied terrain. Whether you're hitting the neighborhood trails, training for a 10k, or just strolling around town, there's an option for everyone!

In-Depth Reviews of the Best Jogging Strollers

1. BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Jogging Stroller.

This top-rated BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 is the best overall jogging stroller on the market. A bit more expensive than our other options, but definitely worth the premium price. The "Flex" name comes from the fact that there are multiple adjustments to suit all users and contexts. These include 9-level adjustable handlebars, adjustable suspension (with 3" of travel!), an extended canopy with a peek-a-boo window, a locking front wheel, and a very comfortable seat with multiple recline settings. For specifications, the BOB Revolution comes in at 29 pounds and can support babies as small as 8 weeks old and up to 75 pounds or 44" tall. This jogging stroller can be used with an attached infant car seat (compatible with Britax infant car seats!) for newborns 0-8 weeks old, then 2-8 months for walking only with your child in the main seat, and then from 8+ months for running.

In our testing, we fell in love with several aspects of the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0! First, we loved the wide range of adjustments to fit parents of different shapes and sizes, and the versatile recline, canopy settings, and adjustable suspension. The canopy is particularly huge and does an excellent job blocking your little one from the elements, whether rain or shine. The seat recline adjusts from very upright to nearly flat (about 30 degrees slope), and it doesn't block access to the storage basket. Second, the wheels are very smooth and wrapped with real pneumatic tires for excellent shock absorption and longevity, and the ride is very smooth over bumpy sidewalks and gravel trails whether you're walking or running. The BOB Revolution was surprisingly easy to maneuver for such a large and heavy stroller, and the wrist tether helped keep us confident about the ability to stop the stroller in any scenario. In addition to the cavernous storage bin, the BOB Revolution also features several pockets - for phones, diapers, and anything else you need to store. Nice touch! Finally, it's worth mentioning that the BOB Revolution feels extremely sturdy and well-planted on the ground, and all of the fabrics, plastics, and metals are very high quality. For cons, we realize that this is a heavy and bulky stroller, even when folded. The wheels can be detached to help with transport, but you'll need a large car or SUV to accommodate the size. Also, there is no hand brake or cup holder (though you can purchase the latter separately). Overall, we love the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0, and think it is definitely the best jogging stroller we've gotten our hands on! Coming in at about $450, we think the price is right given the versatility and quality. Who else loves the Flex 3.0? Our friends at Runner's World, Babylist, and Babygearlab consider it a top pick!

2. Joovy Zoom 360 Ultralight Jogging Stroller.

If the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 is out of your price range and you're worried about its weight and bulkiness, the Joovy Zoom 360 Ultralight jogging stroller might be the perfect compromise! The Joovy Zoom 360 comes in at only about $250, weighs about 3 pounds less than the BOB, and folds into a slightly more compact package. It includes some really great features for the price point: independent rear suspension, a large storage bin, a comfortable seat, a great sun canopy, cup holders, a center console parents' tray for a phone and keys, and pockets in the seating area for your kid (to hold a bottle, sippy cup, or snack container). The Joovy also has a great feature that sets it apart: the rear axle is positioned farther forward, allowing for a much longer running stride without unintentionally kicking the back of the stroller. This was a truly awesome feature, especially for our taller parents. In fact, we didn't even notice that aspect until we had a 6-foot+ tall dad run around the block and was beaming about how he didn't need to completely change his stride and posture just to avoid hitting his shins or feet on a rear axle or storage basket.

In our tests, the Joovy was really awesome with great maneuverability, stability, and build quality. It was really easy to push around given its lightweight aluminum frame and swivel front wheel (it can be locked, by the way), and folding is smooth and intuitive. The stroller can support children as small as 5 pounds and up to 75 pounds (or 44" tall). Joovy recommends that the lowest recline setting is suitable for infants 3 months and older, and any more upright position can be used for infants 6 months and older. They do not make any recommendations about ages suitable for running versus walking with the stroller, so please check with your pediatrician (it's typically about 8 months for running). Note that you can use an adapter to attach an infant car seat to this stroller with infants under 3 months, though it needs to be purchased separately for about $40 (adapters are made for Britax, Chicco, Graco, UPPAbaby, and Maxi-Cosi car seats). In our testing, we loved how lightweight the stroller was while still feeling like a stroller that will hold up well to bumpy roads and long miles. We also thought the seat was very cozy, and the aluminum frame was very sleek and stylish. The wrist tether is a nice touch, and the lower parking brake is easy enough to use. The storage basket is roomy and we liked the fact that it includes the parent console without requiring a separate purchase. How about drawbacks? We were missing the hand brake, the canopy isn't as water-resistant as the BOB, and the handlebars are not adjustable. Our tallest parent, at 6' 3" found himself hunched over a bit to maintain a grip on the handles. Overall, this is an excellent stroller and a great option when the price and weight of the BOB steer you elsewhere. As long as you're under about 6' 2" tall we think you'll be very happy with this option! Who else loves the Joovy Zoom? Our friends at Babylist, The Bump, and WhatToExpect also consider it a top pick! Interested? You can check out this Joovy Zoom 360 jogging stroller here.

3. Thule Urban Glide 3 Jogging Stroller.

Thule is renowned for creating high-performance, adventure-ready gear, and the new Urban Glide 3 continues that legacy as one of the most refined jogging strollers ever made. Designed for both daily strolling and serious runs, it combines lightweight agility with robust all-terrain capability. Suitable from 6 months up to 49 pounds (maximum stroller capacity of 75 pounds), the Urban Glide 3 weighs about 26 pounds and features large 16" rear tires and a 12" swivel front wheel that locks for jogging. For newborns, it’s compatible with Thule’s bassinet or a variety of infant car seats using adapters (sold separately). The padded seat reclines nearly flat, now includes a built-in leg rest, and the 20" seatback gives taller toddlers plenty of space to stretch out and enjoy the ride.

We've been a fan of the Urban Glide for about a decade, and Thule made several thoughtful updates for the third generation. These include a new magnetic buckle for faster harnessing, a more upright seat option, reflective details for visibility, and a redesigned canopy with full coverage and integrated ventilation panels. The adjustable ergonomic handlebar includes a smooth twist hand brake for precise speed control, and the suspension system and air-filled tires provide an exceptionally smooth ride on pavement, trails, or gravel. Storage is another strong suit: the large under-seat basket features a zip-top cover to protect your gear, plus mesh side and back pockets for quick access items. Despite its rugged build, the stroller folds one-handed into a compact, self-standing shape that fits easily into most trunks.

In our testing, the Urban Glide 3 impressed with its effortless push, stability, and comfort for both parent and child. The twist brake is responsive, the adjustable handle accommodates runners of different heights, and the overall balance feels light and nimble even at higher speeds. Maintenance is minimal beyond occasionally inflating the air tires. The only downsides are its premium price (about $799) and that accessories like the bassinet, child tray, and car seat adapters are sold separately. Overall, the Urban Glide 3 delivers exceptional performance, quality, and style for active families who want one stroller that can truly do it all, from daily errands to weekend runs around town or on the trails!

4. BOB Alterrain PRO Jogging Stroller.

We swear we don't own equity in BOB Gear, they just make fantastic running strollers! We used to feature the BOB Ironman and Revolution PRO strollers in this position, but both were recently discontinued in favor of this awesome Alterrain stroller. If you're looking to trail run or want the versatility to make that possible, the BOB Gear Alterrain jogging stroller is the perfect combination of a great road running stroller with the ruggedness and impact absorption to make cross-country running a possibility. This jogging stroller basically takes all the great features of the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 and adds on a few more! These include SmoothShox air-shock rear suspension (like on a mountain bike), more reflective markings, a zip-top cargo basket, a hand brake, a waterproof canopy, an easier folding sequence, and when folded the stroller can stand upright on its own. Everything else that makes the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 a great stroller is included here, and all the child weight and height specifications are the same. Of course, with all these extra features the Alterrain comes in at a hefty 32 pounds! That's about 4 pounds heavier than the Revolution Flex. The result is a truly rugged trail jogging stroller with some serious capabilities and sturdiness.

The downfall, however, is that we could really feel the weight and bulk of this stroller. The rolling resistance was higher than others, and we were really struggling to push it uphill. When you combine the weight of the stroller with a toddler, let's say 40 pounds, you're pushing a 72-pound stroller! We do realize that's only about 6-8 pounds heavier than most other options, but the extra weight does make a difference. Outside of that little issue, we thought maneuverability was excellent, and the folding was much easier than with the Revolution Flex. The ride was super comfortable for children, and the entire stroller remained stable and easy to control over dirt, gravel, and bumps. While we love this new addition to our list, we think it has a very specific use case: frequent trail running. If you're only going to hit the trail a couple of times a year, we think you'll be happy with most other options on this list. You can also see more details about the off-road capability of the Alterrain stroller on our list of the best all-terrain strollers. Who else recommends the BOB Alterrain for this purpose? Our friends at Babygearlab, also think it's a top pick! Interested? You can check out this BOB Alterrain Pro jogging stroller here.

5. Thule Chariot Cross Multisport Stroller & Trailer.

The Thule Chariot combines the best in a jogging stroller with a bike trailer and is available in both single (up to 75 pounds capacity, including 49 pounds of child plus cargo) and double versions (up to 100 pounds capacity, including 75 pounds of children plus cargo). Thule makes a Chariot Lite and the regular Chariot Cross, the latter of which we tested for this review. We tested the double Chariot while visiting friends in Vermont who tend to do a lot of outdoor activities and have two children, a 6-month-old and a 17-month-old. They use the Chariot several times a week on their trail running and biking adventures and absolutely love it. They've even purchased the ski attachments and used it as a ski sled when hitting the slopes at Okemo Mountain! Basic stroller-relevant features include independently reclining seats, adjustable handlebars (across a very wide range), adjustable leaf spring suspension, a wrist safety strap, and good-sized storage space.

In our testing, we found that the Thule is built like a tank, super durable, and the most versatile jogging stroller we've ever tested. It's also a jack of all trades, but not a master of one. It's a decent jogging stroller, but we suggest purchasing the jogging wheel kit, which adds a single larger wheel up front to make it a three-wheel jogger. It's great as a bike trailer but not the most laterally stable one we've tried, especially in the single version (the double is wider, which helps). The front screen is great at keeping the bugs out, and it comes with a convenient rain cover that's great for all-season use (even in rain and snow!). The newer models have a bunch of ventilation options, which is great for controlling airflow during the warmer versus colder seasons. The wheels provide low rolling resistance for effortless pushing, which is saying something since the entire system is pretty heavy at 32 pounds! While heavy, that's not especially surprising given all the versatility. Note that Thule does make a Lite version that sheds about 4 pounds by dropping the seat recline and adjustable suspension. A few limitations worth pointing out. First, the reclining seats only recline by about 20 degrees, which is somewhat limited. There really is no canopy, there are no cupholders, and the storage area interferes with your running stride unless it's emptied and folded in. Folding the Chariot is easy enough, but it doesn't fold small enough to fit in smaller or even mid-size sedan trunks (about 34" x 30" x 14" for the double). If you have an SUV or wagon you'll be fine, but keep that in mind if you have a smaller vehicle. Other than that, we think the Chariot fills an important niche that any outdoor-oriented parents will gravitate toward. Does it perform perfectly in any one role? Not really, but at least it can accomplish all of those roles in the first place, and look great while doing it! Who else recommends the Thule Chariot? Our friends at Runner's World, Babylist, and NYmag all consider it a top pick. Interested? You can check out this Thule Chariot Multisport Stroller and Trailer here.

6. Baby Trend Expedition Jogger Stroller.

While most of our top jogging strollers will cost you at least $250-300, the Baby Trend Expedition offers a surprisingly capable and inexpensive jogging stroller that comes in at only about $120! The Expedition supports infants as young as 6 months and up to about 3 years or 50 pounds (or 42" tall). Those specs are relatively restricted in comparison to other options on this list, though the Expedition is also relatively lightweight, coming in at only about 25 pounds. That weight surprised us given that it uses a relatively beefy steel frame rather than aluminum. But don't let any of that fool you, this jogging stroller has some seriously impressive features! These include a lockable front swivel wheel, a parent console with two cup holders and a storage compartment, large diameter wheels with inflatable rubber tires, a reclining seat and reasonably-sized canopy, and a decent storage basket.

In our testing, we thought this stroller showed good maneuverability, decent stability, and a smooth ride. Over urban terrain, it was well-mannered and didn't get away from any of our testers. The front wheel was easy to lock into the straight position, and we thought that it did OK over bumps but with more jarring feedback than any other option on this list. It's best on sidewalks and roads, and less suitable for bumpier rides. The seat itself was also a bit flat on the back so it didn't seem quite as comfortable. The child console tray is a nice touch, and it also allows you to attach Baby Trend car seats (like the Flex-Loc or Inertia seats) without any adapters, saving you some serious cash. The Baby Trend car seats are among the cheapest infant car seats on the market, making this a great budget combination. Note that if you attach a car seat, you can use this stroller with infants younger than the 6-month minimum. But don't forget you get what you pay for - the Baby Trend Expedition Jogging Stroller is missing adjustable handlebars, a hand brake, a lightweight aluminum frame, suspension to help you absorb bumps, and higher-quality fabrics and padding. But for the price, we thought this makes an excellent option for parents who want a back-to-basics jogging stroller that is very capable and will suit them (and their budget) very well for many years. Who else recommends the Baby Trend Expedition Jogging Stroller? Our friends at Babylist, Babygearlab, WhatToExpect, and The Bump also consider the Expedition a top pick! Interested?

7. Chicco Activ3 Air Jogging Stroller.

This is definitely one of the best jogging strollers for Chicco car seats (KeyFit and Fit2), especially if you're looking for something in the lower price range that doesn't require purchasing additional car seat adapters. But that's not all this jogging stroller has going for it! Given its relatively low price (about $250), we were surprised to see its adjustable handlebars (4 positions), adjustable rear suspension, wrist strap, foam-filled tires (they can't go flat), peek-a-boo window, large storage basket with rear and front access, and a parent console with cupholders and a little storage area. Aside from those features, it also has a very large and water-repelling canopy, a super easy one-hand folding mechanism, a reclining seat (not lay-flat), and a removable bumper bar that serves as a KeyFit (and Fit2) attachment point. Some other cool features include being able to lock and unlock the front swivel wheel from a knob on the handlebars, a hand brake, and three folding configurations (self-standing mode, trunk fold, and storage fold with removed wheels). We tested the Chicco Activ3 out at a baby expo and were really impressed with its overall comfort and features, especially for the price. Steering and maneuverability were quite good for a jogging stroller, and we thought the seating fabric had great airflow. It was really nice having the front wheel swivel lock right at arm's reach rather than bending down, and we liked the concept of the fabric parent console with cupholders - because it's fabric, it folds more easily and doesn't add weight. Suitable for both newborns (using an attached car seat) and big kids weighing up to 50 pounds, this supports a broad range of sizes.

The stroller itself is heavy, coming in at about 28 pounds, the same as the BOB Revolution Flex; this makes it difficult for some parents to get into and out of a car, and some might find it difficult to maneuver with heavier children aboard. A few more cons are worth noting. First, while this is ideal for light jogging, more seasoned runners might find it restrictive due to the relatively close rear axle that can limit stride length, and the tires are not very large in diameter and have quite a bit of rolling resistance relative to a spoked pneumatic wheel and tire combination. Also, the hand brake knob is a little difficult to operate relative to a bicycle-style hand brake, and the footrest is small and not adjustable. In general, we also thought that the quality of parts and connectors wasn't quite up to the standards of something like the BOB or Joovy, making us less excited about this jogging stroller. We should point out that there is an upgraded Chicco jogging stroller that's about $100 more expensive, the Chicco TRE that solves some of these issues, such as using a proper hand brake, bigger pneumatic tires, and a seat that's easily removed so the stroller can be used as a lightweight frame with a Chicco car seat. But that pushes the budget up towards some of the higher-end BOB models, making it less competitive in terms of features and overall quality. Interested?

How to Pick a Jogging Stroller

Picking the right jogging stroller is important for parents who want to stay active while also supporting their child’s safety and comfort.

Below we put together a brief guide to help you identify the best jogging stroller for your needs.

1. Wheel Size and Design

• Large Wheels for Stability: Look for wheels with a diameter of at least 12 inches, with many high-quality jogging strollers offering wheels up to 15-18 inches. Larger wheels provide better directional stability and agility over uneven terrain, such as rocks, bumps, sidewalk seams, and curbs.
• Front Wheel Design: Ensure the front wheel is large and lockable for straight-line stability while jogging. A swiveling front wheel is helpful for maneuverability during everyday use but should be lockable for running.
• Tires with Tread: Knobbier tires improve lateral stability and grip on loose surfaces like gravel or dirt. They also enhance braking efficiency when using a hand brake on downhill or slippery paths.
• Avoid Tiny Wheels: Conventional strollers with small wheels are not suitable for jogging. Small wheels wobble, veer off course, and can abruptly stop when encountering small obstacles.

2. Adjustable Handlebar

• Accommodates Different Heights: Adjustable handlebars ensure an ergonomic running position for users of varying heights, such as parents with significant height differences.
• Angled Handlebar Options: Some models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 or Baby Trend Expedition, include angled handlebars that allow for a more natural wrist and hand position, reducing strain during longer runs.
• Ergonomics for Comfort: Just as with ergonomic keyboards or mice, an adjustable or angled handlebar can prevent discomfort and injury, particularly on long jogs.

3. Suspension System

• Shock Absorption: A high-quality pneumatic or oil-filled suspension system helps absorb road shocks, making the ride smoother for your child and reducing stress on the stroller’s frame.
• Improved Ride Comfort: While not as advanced as car suspensions, these systems make a noticeable difference when jogging over bumpy or uneven terrain.
• Budget Considerations: Jogging strollers with suspension tend to be pricier, but the improved comfort and durability can justify the cost.

4. Essential Features

• Hand Brake: A hand brake is a convenient way to control your speed on downhill slopes or loose terrain.
• Five-Point Harness: Ensures your child is securely strapped in and safe from sudden jolts or accidents.
• Rear Brakes: Required for parking the stroller safely when stopped.
• Pinch-Free Design: Check for minimal pinch points to protect little fingers during folding or adjustments.

5. Convenience and Comfort

• Folding Mechanism: A one-hand fold system is awesome for quickly collapsing the stroller when needed, especially if you’re juggling other items. Most jogging strollers are too heavy and large to lift with one hand, but that doesn't mean they can't fold one-handed.
• Parent and Child Comfort: Look for features like cup holders, snack trays, and a padded seat with multiple recline positions for your child.
• Storage: A spacious storage bin is essential for carrying essentials like diapers, snacks, water bottles, and other running gear. It's also nice to have an easily accessible spot to put your phone.

6. Build Quality and Safety

• Sturdy Construction: A jogging stroller must have a rigid and durable frame to withstand the stress of jogging. Avoid strollers with the lightweight feel of an umbrella stroller.
• Safety Standards: Ensure the stroller meets or exceeds safety certifications and is designed for long-term use.
• Weight and Size: While jogging strollers tend to be heavier due to their robust frames, look for one that balances sturdiness with ease of handling and transport.

What to Avoid

• Conventional Strollers: Traditional strollers are unsuitable for jogging due to their small wheels, lack of stability, and insufficient safety features.
• Low-Quality Materials: Avoid strollers with flimsy construction or low-grade suspension systems, as these can compromise safety and comfort.
