City Mini for jogging?

Ok or no way?  The website says it's not recommended for jogging, but it seems fairly robust, and it handles fine on brisk walks along the gravel Sligo Creek trail.

    No, you aren't supposed to jog with it.

    For jogging you'll definitely want something with air tires.

    I would be worried that the relatively small front tire (compared to real joggers) would catch on a crack in the sidewalk or a twig on a trail if I was moving faster than a brisk walk.

    I think you need a stroller with larger wheels and air-filled tires for real jogging. I think the larger wheels help provide shock absorption that you don't get with a regular stroller. Also, my jogging stroller has a strap I wear around my wrist that will automatically engage the stroller's brakes if I accidentally lose control of it. I don't know if the city mini has that, but I think it's an important safety feature.

    I was also thinking about jogging with the City Mini but I just learnt that apart from the non-air filled and relatively small tires, there is no spring-loaded mechanism on top of the front wheel for the needed shock absorption. I guess brisk walking and a smooth-ish, flat path is the most to push the City Mini.
