Jogging stroller flat tires??

I bought a 2nd hand jogging stroller over the summer and had a lot of problems w/ chronic flat tires.  I did everything I could think of, replaced the tubes and even had a "bike guy" look at it.  Eventually I just got frustrated and bought a new one.

Then, yesterday when I was running, I got another flat tire on the new stroller!!  It's less than a month old?!

What am I doing wrong??  Both are fixed front wheel and I probably jog 10 minute (or slower) miles with them.  I'm not doing a ton of mileage.  What is my problem?

Anyone else experience this?

    Yes - we have a BOB and this happened several times before I brought the tires to a new bike shop and asked their advice - he replaced all the tubes with puncture resistant tubes and filled the tubes with "slime." Since then, it's been smooth sailing. I have recommended to anyone who buys a jogging stroller that they do that to all the tires when they buy it. FYI, we do a lot of trail hikes as opposed to running, so it's not a mileage issue - probably just pebbles/thorns in the road.

    I have a BOB and have not had this issue, thank goodness. All of my running is on streets/sidewalk though. Not sure if that makes a difference.
