I am quite juicy . After the birth of my girl , I packed on 20 pound because I have no time for anything but work , child care , and delicious coffee cake dipped in beer . I take a jogging stroller .
Why It Matters
Most working parent have very little time to do anything for themselves , include exercise . But a jogging stroller lets you belt down two elephant with one shotgun blast . First , you’re able to expend time with your tiddler , who will perhaps even sneak in a pile . Second , you get to resurrect your heartrate and perspire and incinerate off all that chocolate cake . If you did n’t make love ( because you are baby - less ) , B.O.B. is a major player in the ramble on saunterer mart — this is their Usain Bolt . At 23 pounds , it ’s B.O.B. ’s lightest , sleekest , quickest - act ride . It ’s design for running , not “ running ” around town .
Using It
Put sister in seat . shoulder strap baby in with two uncomplicated clicks . Stand behind . Attach rope to wrist . get-up-and-go ! Move leg quickly . Apply brake as necessary .
Like
This thing rolls like Curtis Mayfield circa 1972 . It flies . Its ultralight figure and spin - happy hubs make for a delightfully easy ride . I am dense , but it ’s not because of this stroller — it let me hit a six and a half arcminute mi stride with as much ease as my jiggly frame would take into account .
It has a retentive leash , so I could push the stroller well out in front of me and then catch up again without worrying about sending the cleaning lady pour les enfants into a ditch . The huge basket’ll hold a nappy outfit , your travail , and whatever gallon of liquid you postulate to plunk up on the fashion home . There ’s a foot - action parking brake and a hand brake .
No Like
The front wheel is fixed and does n’t turn ; great for running on straightaways , but annoying on twisty trails or even curvy route . You have to fundamentally pop a wheelie so as to sprain . It would be nice if you could lock it or unlock it depending on the terrain .
And although it ’s super visible light , it ’s also quite declamatory , prepare it a botheration in the ass to ecstasy , especially with a shaver inside . mother this thing on or off MUNI , San Francisco ’s local transportation system , was about as easy as extort a brick into a Coke bottleful . It ’s a sports elevator car ; not a minivan . But unless all your running play routes get at your front door , this baby does n’t jaunt well .
Should I Buy This ?
Oh Hell yes , fatty - daddy . Get this . Get it now . Your abdomen will thank you , and then vanish . I ’ve used a few strollers designed for both everyday use and jogging . The multi - function aspect is neat if you ’re only going to bribe one stroller . But if you want a dedicated jogging go-cart this is the greatest thing to make the road since Neal Cassady .
