Car seat travel is one such topic to keep in mind before travelling with kids because it may not always be safe or applicable depending on where you are going and how old your child(ren) is/are.

For that reason, we will discuss some different circumstances below but please remember to speak with your paediatrician about what they recommend for their own personal patients!

 

What is a jogging stroller?

A jogging stroller, also known as an all-terrain or jogger stroller, is designed to be lightweight and durable. They are typically equipped with large air-filled tires which allow them to move smoothly over any surface without sinking into the ground. A wide wheelbase helps prevent it from tipping over, and a variety of features make it easier to jog with.

 

When should you consider buying one?

A jogging stroller is most appropriate for parents who primarily run or go on long walks – otherwise, the tires will wear out quickly. You’ll also want to look for one that has lockable front wheels when you’re not running. Some parents might also need one for their children who are unable to walk long distances, such as those with cerebral palsy or other mobility issues.
