After a house full of kids, I have decided that I am done with the same old boring strollers. I need to find something that will help me get in shape too. I have to decide what stroller would be best for me now. I know I definitely want a jogging stroller. I want to get into shape and become more active when Myles arrives. The problem is that for a good quality jogging stroller, you will be paying a few hundred dollars. No wonder it will get me fit, that’s a month’s worth of groceries!

Check out the Bumbleride Indie for example. It is the Grand Prix of jogging strollers. At an average of $450, it has all the features I would really love in a stroller.

• Perfect for infants and up
• five point safety harness
• 360° swivel front wheel
• Carrying handle for easy transport when folded
• Reclining seat
• Adjustable handle
• Easy and compact fold
• Compatible with a Graco infant car seat

I’m not picky but these are all features that make it worthwhile. Of course there are a few others that you can check out yourself. The one feature it doesn’t have is that it only seats 1 child. This is my dilemma. Kambree will not be 2 when Myles arrives. I plan on starting a slow workout regimen of walking 5-6 weeks postpartum. So she’ll almost be 2. I can’t expect a great workout if I’m chasing her around. Of course, I can put Kambree in the stroller and put Myles in a sling. This would make it possible to get away with a single stroller. This way when Stoney can sit with the kids, I can sneak out with one of them in the stroller and it’s not too bulky.

As I mentioned, spending $400 on a jogging stroller is very unattainable. Especially since I am starting from scratch with a little boy. Of course, my desire to be fit is strong. My need to be fit and healthy are enough to justify spending a little more for a quality jogging stroller. I started looking at the Joovy strollers at Babies R Us. I love that you can get the Joovy Zoom with a fixed wheel or a swivel wheel that locks. Which is great since I either take long walks near my house or I go on the walking path which requires more maneuverability. The stroller does say it’s for 6+ months. But that is great if I put Myles in a sling for the first few months. The price is also more affordable than the Bumbleride.

Now I need to find a stroller that will fit all my needs and continue to be affordable. My question for you is what jogging stroller would you prefer out of these two? If you have a jogging stroller, tell me what you have. Is there something you love about that stroller? Is there something you hate about that stroller? I need details! Then hopefully I can get started in toning up this body for bikini season after Myles gets here. Of course, you probaby won’t catch me in a bikini unless you are watching through my windows! Thanks everyone!

and since some people might be confused. I was not compensated for this post in ANY way.
