I have a jogging stroller as well, and it is awesome if you have to walk any 
distance.  It has bicycle tires on it, so it rides as smooth as you please, 
pushing or pulling.  The stroller has a sunshade, plus pockets for 
everything you might want to carry and storage underneath.  It's big enough 
that I'll be using it for at least another year or two, till Sarah grows out 
of strollers altogether.  But I don't know if I could get it on a bus if I 
wanted to.  I think it would be too wide for the door.  It's bulky even to 
put in a car or a van.  So for car trips or short trips, I take the umbrella 
stroller, but that won't work till the three-month-old has better neck and 
body control.

I got the jogging stroller at a thrift store for $30, so keep your eyes out 
for bargains.
