Ranked #6 in Best Jogging Strollers

Baby Trend Journey Jogging Stroller, Stellar Grey

Unrated2 sources$107.99as of Oct 11

All-terrain bicycle tires give the Baby Trend Journey Jogging Stroller a smooth ride across different surfaces. The lockable front swivel wheel helps with maneuvering, and the multi-position recline pairs with a 5-point harness to keep a child secure. A large ratcheting canopy provides UPF 50+ shade, and the parent tray holds cups and small items in its console storage. The manufacturer caps it at 50 lbs or 42 inches tall, so older toddlers will outgrow it.

Strengths

— All-terrain bicycle tires for smooth ride across varied environments
— Lockable front swivel wheel for ease of maneuverability
— Multi-position reclining seat with adjustable 5-point safety harness

Watch-outs

— Maximum weight recommendation is 50 lb, limiting use for older toddlers

Higher ratedRanked #1 in Best Jogging Strollers

Guava Roam Stroller

4.7

1 source$650as of Oct 17

A three-wheel crossover jogging stroller weighing 28.5 lb, with foam-filled rubber tyres, a 60 lb child limit and a nesting fold to 29 x 15 x 17 inches. BabyGearLab names it the best overall jogging stroller and scores it 88/100, and iRunFar also makes it its top pick, both citing the unusually compact fold and easy handling. Runner's World picks it as the stroller for families who want to buy only one, praising the front-wheel lock on the handlebar. It suits runners who also need an everyday stroller that fits a small car boot; those running steep routes or wanting a handbrake should look elsewhere.

Strengths

— Smallest fold BabyGearLab has measured on a jogger: 7,488 cubic inches
— Front wheel locks and unlocks from the handlebar, so no bending down to switch to running
— Top run-ability score in BabyGearLab's test, with an easy, low-fatigue push

Watch-outs

— No handbrake, a drawback on hilly routes
— Heavy at 28.5 lb, with a shallow undercarriage basket
— 60 lb child limit and a smaller canopy than the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0

How they stack up

Baby Trend Journey Jogging Stroller, Stellar Grey

The Baby Trend Journey Jogging Stroller has a 50 lb weight limit, lower than the 65 lb of the BOB Gear Wayfinder Jogging Stroller and the 75 lbs of the BOB Gear Alterrain Pro Jogging Stroller, and it costs far less than either. The two BOB strollers list suspension systems, SmoothShox on the Alterrain Pro and independent dual suspension on the Wayfinder. Like the Jeep Classic Jogging Stroller, the Journey has a UPF 50+ canopy.

Guava Roam Stroller

At 28.5 lb it is lighter than the BOB Gear Alterrain Pro, which BabyGearLab weighed at 31.4 lb and which folds to 17,357 cubic inches against the Roam's 7,488. Like the BOB Gear Wayfinder it pairs a locking swivel front wheel with suspension, but the Roam uses foam-filled tyres rather than air-filled ones and has no handbrake. It costs several times more than the Baby Trend Journey and the Jeep Classic, which the page lists for active parents and casual joggers.
