Jogging Stroller

I am a FTM and not sure how much I will want to jog with baby since that is my alone time. In saying that, I don't want to invest more than $300 in the jogging stroller. I would also like something that we could use on shopping trips, etc if possible. I was looking at the City Mini or the Joovy Zoom 360, does anyone have experience with either/both of these? Or do you have another suggestion?

    I'm not sure what a FTM is? And I'm not familiar with either of those strollers but the citi mini is NOT a jogger and really shouldn't be used as one. You can compare a variety of joggers at www.joggingstroller.com.

    FTM is first time mom, so basically I have no clue what I am doing/getting! I didn't think the city mini was a jogger either but it was rated in American Baby as great on rough terrain and in parks so I assumed it would work. Maybe not though? I think I will stick with the joovy for now and review the website. Thanks!

    I have the city mini and it's ok at the mall, but its not great on sidewalks.  I do my outside walks with the Bob and I'm so glad I spent the money, it's well worth it.

    I got the copycat version of a BOB, BabyTrend at BRU, it works great!  And half the cost of BOB.

    This is what we are getting.  So many of my friends have used it and loved it.  If you aren't training for marathons, it should work just fine from what I hear.  Target has one model for $99 and it can be used as a travel system with a carseat (not for jogging though).  The citymini is great for rough terrain,  but NOT for actually jogging.

    From all I've read the BOB is most people's fave.  www.lucieslist.com has good reviews on different ones.

    Not sure if you are cool with secondhand, but on my local craigslist there are always several BOBs for sale.   And as with what someone else wrote, most "knockoffs" would probably be sufficient for short distance joggers/runners.

    And I think City Mini should take the "Jogger" out of their name.  Very confusing.
