Citi Mini or Brittax B Agile as jogging strollers?

lindsaymcc

Anyone have experience using the City Mini or Britax BAgile as a jogging stroller? I'm not an avid runner, and want something for more daytoday city use, and I know the manual says these models aren't for jogging, but just wondering if anyone HAS used them and what you think?

I'd like to know also! I am really eyeing the Britax BAgile

I'm confused as to why you would buy a stroller that specifically says it is not for jogging with the intent to jog with it. I have a City Mini and while it is a great stroller the wheels do have the tendency to get caught in uneven sidewalk cracks. Very potentially dangerous. If I were going to run with DD I would want something with a more all-terrain wheel.

If you intend to run, I'd get a BOB. They are great for everyday use and for jogging as well.

Neither are meant for jogging.  However, I got the Britax because it was only another $150 when bought with the car seat.  So far I really like it.  There aren't any reasons that I can see that would make the City Mini worth the extra money.  I plan to just get a BOB if/when I decide to jog with DD.

 

However, I got caught in a BAD storm a  couple of weeks ago (horrible forecasting job!) and ran with the Britax, in really heavy rain, over horrible sidewalks, for almost half a mile.  It did the job and when we got home, I was soaked 100 times over but baby was dry!  (I had her in there in the car seat carrier.)  

 

Hope that helps!

Neither are technically meant for jogging or running.  That being said though, I researched strollers about 4 months after my son was born.  I was looking for a stroller that I could use as an every day stroller as well as use to walk/jog with.  I figured if I truly started running, like running miles everyday, I will invest in a bob ironman.  I didn't look at the britax but did look at a city mini gt, city mini elite and bob revolution.  I ended up with a city mini gt.  It is lighter than the elite and the wheels are smaller than the bob making it easy to tote around and put in my trunk as needed.  I started the cs5k about 6 weeks ago and have been running a little under 2 miles a day at least 3x a week now with the city mini.  It works perfect for what we need it for and my son loves it!
