[blparent] Best strollers

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

The Bob actually folds up quite nicely and quickly and isn't very bulky
at all as jogging strollers go. I have looked into both the Bumbleride
and City Mini and like a lot of their features as well. The Schwinns are
another great light weight jogging stroller. The next trip to the
stroller store, I hope to look at either the City Mini or Bumbleride if
they have them.

One reason we like the jogging strollers so much is because we are
pretty active in our leisure time enjoying both walking and jogging
outdoors. A carrier may be handy for errands or trips where we are not
so active.

Thanks for all the info. We have a lot of options to consider now.
Thanks.

Sincerely,
Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter

I've used both the Beco and the Ergo and find them to be very similar.
I've carried a 40 lb child on my back for 2 and a half hours and wasn't
uncomfortable. I don't like the Bjorn style at all. They hurt, and
aren't good for the baby. I've used the sling, but after 15 or so lbs I
find it to also not be comfortable, but for little ones I think it works
fine for around the house or the quick run into the store. As for the
comments about the 100 lb limit on some jogging strollers that is
because people actually use them to jog with their children who aren't
ready to run and jog too. I have a friend who runs marathons with her
daughter who is 6 and about 50 lbs, and then she has the water and food
for both of them. Jogging strollers tend to be very very bulky and don't
fold down well, and don't always fit will through isals and doorways. I
like the City mini for the reasons others have mentioned.
