running w/ a double

I always locked the wheel when I ran w/ DD in the single BOB revolution.  Now I have a double and did my 1st run the other day.  II locked the wheel but it was way to hard to go w/ the curves so I ran w/ it unlocked, which worked fine.  Is it ok to run w/ the wheel unlocked?

    Are you running with a 4 week old? Locked or unlocked you shouldn't be.

    I hate the double BOB in locked wheel mode.  I never lock it.  I'm just extra cautious going downhill.

    I've read that in th car seat on smooth surfaces it's fine, its no different from driving in the car

    Yes, but at a very minimum age of 8 weeks, as per the instructions.

    Yes, but at a very minimum age of 8 weeks, as per the instructions.

    The BOB manual states that a baby be 8 months old before running.

    You are not to run with an infant seat adaptor.

    A baby should  be 8 weeks old before you stop using the infant seat adaptor. I'm assuming this applies to walks.

    OP, please read the manual before you run. It clearly states on the FAQs page all of the age recommendations for running with your stroller.

    I started running with my baby at 4 weeks on smooth, paved surfaces with the car seat adaptor.  It was fine.

    ETA- even with the single I run with the front wheel unlocked.  Now we run on some trails and the locked wheel was too much of a pain! 

    This , i hate it locked
