jogger stroller

in 2nd Trimester

So I've begun the daunting task of stroller research and would like a jogger but they are SO expensive- anyone have any advice on a reasonably priced option? I don't even know if something exists under $200 but would love to find out.

Thanks!

    I regstered for the city mini at BRU where it retails for $240 but it's available online at pish posh baby for $198.  It's barely under $200 but it seems well worth the money.

    I love jogging and running on trails, so I just bit the bullet and bought an expense BOB (300 or so). I have had it for 5 years, and it is still in good use. I used it from infant to toddler -- plus it was the only stroller I bought. I am guessing on Craigslist they will have them used.

    We got a BOB on ebay for $300 no shipping.

    We kept seeing them on Craigslist but they go SUPER FAST !!

    City Mini isn't a jogger, despite its name.

    We have a Bob Revolution. More expensive but totally worth it...we've used it pretty much every day since K was 4 months old and we still love it.

    I knew that I wanted the Bob Revolution, but also knew it was a bit pricey.  I ended up checking craigslist here and there and bought one, used for about 5-6 months on jogging paths only and stored inside from a couple that had just had a second child.  We ended up getting it for just about 200 and it looks like we bought it brand new.

    i would try to save some money up and buy the bob.  we have one and LOVE it.  most of the people i have read about who tried to save money and buy a cheaper one found that they were uncomfortable (for them or the baby), not actually good for jogging AND walking since they had a fixed wheel (the bob can be fixed or swiveling), or that they broke.  i think it would be depressing to spend 150 and then have a junky jogger that i ended up selling to get the more expensive one later.  also, if you actually want to go running with it, the bob has adjustable tracking on the front wheel so that if the stroller starts pulling to one side you can fix it.  cheaper ones lack that option and you are just stuck then with an annoying pull to the side hard to run with stroller.  keep an eye on craigslist.  also, rei puts them on sale a few times a year- we got a floor model from rei during their sale for 285 instead of 385.
