As I was at the grocery store this morning, I saw a women struggling with her jog stroller. I wanted to tell you how we chose our new jog stroller.
12 years ago, my sister bought her first jog stroller. Back then these products were not made with rotating front wheels and few had a one-pull collapse option. When it came time for me to choose my first stroller, these options rang loudly in the forefront of my mind. I can remember taking Ryan and Olivia for long walks and feeling like my arms got more of a work out than my heart or legs. When you purchase a jog stroller without the front wheel rotation option, you must push down on the bar and lift the front wheel in order to turn. I was exhausted after a short time at the park, but I still had to get the kids and the stroller in the car. My sister's stroller had a two-step closing process, and it wasn't easy. UGGg!
There are many strollers on the market today that still do not have these wonderful options. I wanted to share with you again, the stroller we chose, so none of you would be spotted pushing down to turn. It's not pretty:)
We chose the Baby Jogger City Elite. Happy shopping and be aware of those options I mentioned. Check out http://www.consumerreports.org/ and shop on
