Cheap jogging stroller recommendation for NYC

 Hi All,

I'm looking for a budget jogging stroller, mostly for jogs in Central Park (I'd jog in the bike lane/asphalt). LO is only 2 months,is there any stroller I could attach the car seat to?Or any jogging stroller that can be used when she's 3 month?

I already have an Uppababy Vista, which takes up a lot of space, so something foldable would be nice... if that even exists. Thanks

    There aren't any jogging strollers on the market that say in the instructions that they recommend for young babies. Some start at about 8 months, most here say age 1. That includes use with a car seat. I know some ladies on the Health and Exercise board do, but I personally wouldn't.

    For future use, if you have a small budget, they seem to like the In Step or Jeep.  I'm not a fan, I'd try to find a used Bob, or better. I've seen them used for about the same price as the inexpensive used. All of those do fold. Happy hunting.

    No jogging stroller is suited for 3 months, it's pretty universal that you aren't supposed to jog until at least 6 months.  And never with the carseat attached.

    I am of the mind that cheap is not the way to go with jogging strollers, but if you are on a budget I'd look at Jeep or Baby Trend.  Or try for a used BOB on Craigslist.

    You shouldn't jog with a baby until they are six months and older. Just an FYI. We have a Chariot Cougar that we love to jog and bike with, but it's not an inexpensive option.

    Also, please do not jog in the bike lane. As a cyclist, I would like to tell you that it is extremely obnoxious and dangerous when people choose to jog in the bike lane. It's called a bike lane for a reason. I'm not trying to be mean, but it's not appropriate. I've had to swerve to avoid joggers, and I've nearly gotten hit by cars.

     I guess I have a few months before I can jog with LO.I never thought about looking for a used BOB, but I like the idea!

    Kelbrian, sorry, when I meant jogging in the bike lane, I was referring to the asphalt,it's not only a bike lane, there is a lane for walkers/runners. I just wanted to point out, that I'd not be running on the trail with the stroller, only on the even surface (which is the bike/runner lane).

    Gotcha :) I see what you mean now. We have something similar on the lakefront here.

    The Baby Trend stroller gets recommended a lot by some serious runners on the Health&Fitness board on the Nest. It's $190.  That would be a good choice for asphalt, I think.
