Best stroller to steer one-handed?

Hi everyone! I’m hoping someone here has some experience with this … I’m looking for a stroller for outside walks and maybe jogs that is easily pushed and steered with one hand. I have a 2 year old Labrador that absolutely *needs* intense exercise on a daily basis (Labs … IYKYK). Now that the weather is getting better in my home town, I love to load up my 14mo daughter in her stroller and take my pup for a walk which means I have the dog leash in my left hand and am navigating the stroller with my right. I’m currently using the same stroller that we’ve had since birth which is the Chicco Bravo. It worked great when she was an infant but now feels like I’m wrestling with an overloaded Walmart cart with one wonky wheel. Does anyone have personal experience with a stroller that’s a little more fluid? A jogging one perhaps? Thanks!

I don’t know if it quite fits what you’re looking for, but we have a Britax (b free, I think?) with three wheels that’s not a jogging stroller but is a bit sportier than some strollers. We love it. I take our 3yr old and our Lab/Great Dane mix for walks with it, although the dog is old and fairly mellow, so I can use two hands on the stroller with the leash usually looped on my left wrist and holding it with my right as well as the stroller handle.

Thanks so much! I’ll look into this one.

It sounds like you have quite the active lifestyle, and finding the right stroller can make all the difference! For your needs, I highly recommend considering a jogging stroller. These strollers are designed for smooth handling and can be easily manoeuvred with one hand, which is perfect for managing both your daughter and your energetic Labrador.

One option to look into is the BOB Gear Revolution Flex 3.0 Jogging Stroller. It's well-known for its stability and ease of steering, even on uneven terrain. Another great choice is the Thule Urban Glide 2, which offers excellent manoeuvrability and a lightweight frame that makes it easy to push.

Both of these options have spacious seating for your little one while also being equipped for your outdoor adventures with your pup. Plus, they come with features like large wheels that handle various surfaces smoothly, making them ideal for jogging or brisk walking.

Investing in a quality jogging stroller could truly enhance your daily outings! If you need more recommendations or further information on specific models, feel free to ask. Happy strolling!
