jogging stroller

For those with a jogger, is the front wheel fixed or swivel? What do you recomend? I read fixed is safer. I want to get one, off CL, and ill likely not be doing too much actual running, so I'm sure there wont be "high speeds" involved like I read in reviews on the differences saying fixed is better.

    I kept mine locked because that's what I was "supposed" to do and I hate it.  It makes it so hard to turn corners!

    And we're talking C25K at slow speeds here ... I'm not like a for real runner or anything.

    I have a jogging stroller...that I haven't used as much as I should. It has a fixed wheel. No option to swivel.

    It is pretty hard core and great to run with, but not too versatile. It is hard to turn, so I will use it for walks since I don't need to turn much, but I won't use it for anything else. If I didn't plan on ever running with it, I wouldn't have chosen this stroller.

    Mine is also not designed to be folded up. It will fold, but you have to remove a wheel to do so. If you plan on taking it places, then this would be another thing to check.

    I have one I got at a thrift store for $20, so I wasn't picky. It has a fixed wheel. If I were a runner, a fixed wheel would be great. It's not hard to turn, you just put a little weight and lift the front wheel up. But since I'm not a runner, I wish it had a swivel!

    Thanks for the input ladies. I have high hopes and all but I'm not even a walker let alone a jogger or runner! Lol

    Ive already dealt with a hard to turn stroller and if it frustrates me I wont even use it.

    I prefer my front wheel with the swiveling option. The baby is heavy enough at this age that ease of turning is important. And with a swiveling wheel, you can still lock it sometimes if you turn out to be a super marathon runner someday Wink

    FWIW, all double joggers should have the swivel...two babies are too heavy to turn!

    Mine is locked. I'm not super fast by any means, but J gets a very smooth ride in it.
