Expecting a baby in the next few months and looking to pickup a nice used stroller at a fair price. If anyone has a stroller they’re not using and want to sell, please let me know. Thanks!
Hey, just a (hopefully) useful heads up, and I have a few minutes to kill at work. And bear in mind this is all just my opinion…
I went through three iteration of running strollers before I settled on one that I scored off of Craigs List for $100. The second one was a used Bugaboo (used) and I wasn’t a huge fan, they’re great if you’re going for a walk/stroll with the kid on uneven payment or a trail, but my runs are pretty hilly on pavement and it was abysmal.
First Go Round) Target $110 three wheel “running stroller”, not bad… very heavy, had sixteen inch wheels and cornered horribly… Think Iditarod dogsleds where you have to kind fo lean and push it up one one side.
Second Go Round) Bugaboo… See rationale above
Third Go Round) Kool Stride :). Brought to you by the same people that do Kool Stop brake pads. Very nice stroller. Has two twenty inch wheels in back and a sixteen inch one up front. It also corners very nicely. Bear in mind she (daughter) still isn’t pulling her weight… But this one is a joy to run with compared to the other two. My pace is only about 30-45 seconds slower per mile on this one. (But then again I’m also a slow runner…)

here’s another heads up for you. we bought an InStep jogger. for no reason, my wife hated it and we off loaded it on craigs list for a great deal for the buyer. You need to decide if you want to go whole hog on this or not. By that, I mean like the $400 Bob joggers with all the bells and whistles. light, front wheel that pivots (the HUGE KEY) and functional. All the other stuff, in the $150-250 range, is Bunk. If that’s too mcuh for you, or you won’t be doing heavy runnnig with it, Check out the jog stroller on chucks bikes .com. I don’t have it or have any affiliation, but it’s a great price for what it is
I have one of these:
