Jogging Strollers became all the rage a few years ago when supermodel mums like Elle Macpherson started jogging with her young child. Instantly mums around the world started to think, so I can have a baby and get fit too?

A jogging stroller allows the modern mom or dad to get that much craved exercise, without being stuck at home with a baby that is not transportable in a standard stoller that just won’t go where you want it to go, with any speed!

A jogging stroller generally consists of 3 wheels. 2 at the back and one at the front, that is fixed, or can be fixed. Some come with suspension and some don’t. Suspension is generally only needed when you want to really go off the beaten track, perhaps jogging through a forest or bush terrain.

It is recommended that only babies above 12 weeks old who have good head control, should be taken jogging in a jogging stroller. Prior to 12 weeks, you probably won’t want to be out jogging anyway after the birth… so you will just have to tell hubby he has to fast walk until then.

Some of the leadingbrands of jogging strollers include Baby Jogger, who make a specialized range of strollers called Freedom and Performance, for the purpose of exercise. They also make double and triple jogging strollers!! Baby Jogger strollers are now on sale at Mystrollers.com
