How old was LO before using jogging stroller?

mrsthedixon · May 2010

Just wondering how old your LO was when you first put them in a jogging stroller? And what jogging stroller do you use?

Thanks!

I have a BOB revolution. I put him in it for walks starting at about ten weeks old. I don't think you are supposed to JOG with a baby until the baby is at least 6 mos. old, though.

I have always heard 6 months for jogging strollers.

If it's a smooth ride, why is it that you're not supposed to jog with it until 6 months? Does it have something to do with the bouncing?

I really want to get jogging now. My LO will be 4 months next week and has really excellent neck control... I just wonder if I can start slow jogging at least...

We have the Babytrend Expedition from BRS (like BOB) and put DS in it at 3 months, but we're too lazy to jog so we just walk with it. He does fine and seems more comfortable than standard stroller.

I put my girls in the jogging stroller for the 1st time this week. My plan was to walk only but it started to sprinkle and since I didn't put the cover on, I jogged the last block back to our house. I could see them though the window on the shade of the stroller and they were fine. They LOVED to see the world straight on since I have been using our Graco DuoGlider for walks with their carseats. I have the Instep Safari Double Jogger and looked through all the info and didn't see an age to begin to use it. I always thought it was 6 months to actually jog, but every baby is different.

Ask your pedi.

I have never heard the no jogging before 6 months thing before (oops), and we started jogging with DD when she was 6-7 weeks old. ?She has always done fine with it, and we just propped her up with blankets all around her and the straps when she was too little to stay supported by herself. ?

We have one of the Jeep jogging strollers from BRU. ?Not too expensive and it works great. ?I know there are nicer ones out there, but this one runs very smoothly and we've had no problems with it.

I used my BOB very early on (not actually jogging tho).

we have the same stroller. I started walking with her at 3 weeks. DH jogs with it, I think she was 10 weeks that first time.
