Does anyone use a jogging stroller as their everyday stroller or do most people buy two different strollers? I really want a nice crossover - something that is good for neighborhood walks, short runs, but also isn't too bulky to take to the mall. Any suggestions or thoughts?
Re: Jogging stroller as everyday stroller?
Same here.
I wouldn't do it if I lived in the city and took public transportation everywhere, but it will work for where I live.

We were in the same situation when I was pregnant. Save yourself the money of buying 2 strollers and purchase one good quality jogging stroller. We have the Baby Jogger City Elite and it works out great as our everyday stroller. We are very active outside and figured we rather invest in something more "all terrain" that I could use everywhere. The one handed fold makes it easy to bring places and its not so bulky that it wont fit through store isles, etc. It has the optional car seat adapter but honestly you don't really need it because the seat fully reclines for infants to lay in. If you ever need something for travel, just buy a cheap $20 umbrella stroller.
This is what we're doing too. Although it's not actually meant for jogging. As long as the stroller has a rotating front wheel - you should be good to go for everyday use.
