What's the difference in a jogging stroller?

Hi! I'm sure this question is asked often, but I couldn't find anything recent so I apologize if its redundant! I've been running with my 18 month old DD since Jan, but in our Britax B Agile without realizing its not really made for running : I'm planning to start training for a half and feel guilty enough that she was not as safe for the many miles I've already run, so I'm looking at a jogging stroller. I can't seem to convince DH that its a need for her safety rather than a want for my ease. What are the main differences in my Britax and a jogger? Also, any recs? I know everyone loves the BOB, but I'm looking to spend under 150 since we're talking about 2 soon and I'd hate to invest on a great jogger only to need a double a year later. FWIW, I ordered the Graco FastAction Jogger and have used it twice, but I'm not loving it could it be a learning curve with a heavier, actually made for running stroller or should I consider trying to return it? Thanks ladies!!!

I know you said you want to spend under 150, and I was wanting to spend less, too, but I ultimately got a BOB. I hadn't heard anything good about the cheaper jogging strollers. You could always check craigslist, though ours always has people ISO BOBs but not selling BOBs, but for the doubles I've seen on there, it looks like they have awesome resale value! That's what ultimately sold me on it...if we do have another baby in the next couple of years, I know I can get a good chunk of my money back!

And I do think it's worth the money! I was making this decision a couple of weeks ago, and I'm glad I got the BOB, I already love it.

We have an InStep! Honestly, I'd be looking for quality rather than how much it costs.

I have an InStep as well. First my single and now a double. LOVE both of them. It was definitely a change from our old strollers and now Im not looking forward to having to use our old strollers again. Lol.

Also an In Step lover.  I just sold my double and bought a single (I have 3 girls).  I have trained for 3 half marathons pushing my 1 or 2 of my girls in one.
