Jogging stroller

I am looking for a jogging stroller that isnt huge when you fold it up.

I have the jeep liberty jogging stroller and its fine and all but when i fold it up its still gigantic and i have a hard time getting the stroller, the dog, and the car seat all in the car. and my car has a good amount of room in the back.

any suggestions?

    If it's gonna be your one and only, the Baby Jogger City Elite folds really flat and easily.  It's great for around everywhere, including jogging.

    The Baby Jogger City Elite cannot be used for jogging believe it or not. With a name like Baby Jogger you think it would. However, the frames and suspension aren't designed to withstand the type of abuse a stroller goes through during jogging.

    There are only several strollers designed for jogging. My favorite and is the BOB Revolution stroller https://www.treasurerooms.com/BOB/BOB-Revolution-Stroller-in-Navy/BOB-ST0751/900-9010/Product

    I spoke to the salesperson specifically about which baby joggers could be used for jogging.  He said the elite could.

    However she is right, the Bob is awesome.

    Yes, it's very strange. At my baby store, the Baby Jogger section has this huge sign over it which is basically like "Note: Baby Jogger strollers are NOT jogging strollers."

    Then again, I saw a dude on a  hiking trail with a Graco Snap & Go the other day, so who knows what people will use it for?

    We have the BOB.  My husband has big feet and tends to take very long strides and tends to walk really fast.  He didn't kick the wheels/axel bars when trying this out and this won us over.  It folds flat enough except the wheels are kind of big but they are easy to take off if needed.

    The salesperson is incorrect.  The manual specifically says the Elite (none in the City series in fact) should not be used for jogging.

    On page 2: Warning: DO NOT exceed 3mph ? this stroller is not suitable for running, jogging, skating or roller blading.

    On their website it says which ones are "high performance joggers" & elite is not one of them.

    I have a Mountain Buggy Urban--it's a great stroller for jogging & all-terrain.
