Jogging Mama
I have recently taken up jogging. I’m a nut when it comes to my body and pregnancy took it’s toll. I gained about 20 pounds while pregnant which I was determined to lose before Abigail turned one and her daddy returned from deployment. Before I go any further I would like to say that I have dropped those 20 lbs, plus another 5!! Wahoo!
Anyways, back to jogging. I had the worst time figuring out which stroller I wanted. Everyone recommended BOB strollers. They are supposed to be top notch for running, jogging, and working out with baby in general. I would love to eventually get into marathon running but for now my asthma is still a huge hurdle. I haven’t had it act up since high school so it’s kind of annoying.
I just needed a stroller that would be easy and safe. Everything I looked at had a ton of plastic around it like a regular stroller. To me this seemed strange. I imagine a stroller like a running shoe. It should be comfortable, flexible, and breathable. The price difference between a stroller with and without the plastic was about $100. I figured I would go with my gut and buy the more expensive stroller since I planned on using it a lot anyways.
So I coughed up $400 on a BOB Revolution SE stroller. She’s awesome and I couldn’t imagine anything better. I went with the revolution SE because I wanted the swivel wheel not the stationary one. This was I can use it for other purposes other than running. I heard that stationary wheels are awful for turning.
A great benefit to paying so much money? It’s a huge push out the door since I hate wasting money! And baby girl loves enjoying her fresh air with mama.
Do you like to do outdoor activities with your baby?
I’m not much of a jogger, but I have the double BOB Revolution. I love that stroller! I got a cheaper, fixed front wheel jogger with my first, and it’s fine, but it’s no BOB. My youngest two are both about thirty pounds these days, and it still pushes like a dream. Love it! I’m glad to hear you like yours too
BOB’s are definitely the smoothest strollers ever. I went for a walk with my daughter today and I kept telling my husband that I really can’t believe how smooth it is lol.
