CHEYENNE, Wyo. - May 31, 2013 - PRLog -- BabyGearLab today released its 2013 buying advice guide for jogging strollers based on extensive field-testing of 10 top-rated products entitled, “How to Choose the Best Jogging Stroller.”

“We spent more than 3 months testing ten of the best strollers, using them for running on all kinds of surfaces, as well as general-use around town, “ said Dr. Juliet Spurrier, BabyGearLab’s founder and Mom-in-Chief. “We felt that experience left us filled with practical advice and tips we wanted to share with parents who are in the market.”

The article examines how a jogging stroller handles on unpaved surfaces (hiking trails, dirt, gravel, or even snow/ice), and as well as on paved surfaces. Dr. Spurrier notes, “it’s important to avoid using a jogging stroller for running with a baby too soon. A baby needs to have developed strong enough neck and core muscles before safely participating in an actual running situation, which may involve jarring bumps.” To that end, BOB gear advises waiting until the baby is at least 8 months old before jogging or off-pavement use.

“Both your baby and you should be comfortable,” Dr. Spurrier says, “so that exercising can be an enjoyable experience.” Key features that enhance comfort for the baby include: seat padding, a canopy that can block low morning sun, and the suspension system. “The added price of a jogging stroller is offset by costs you could incur without it, like babysitting and gym memberships. And even if you’re not a runner, a jogging stroller could still be a very good fit for your family.”

BabyGearLab staff has critically reviewed 10 specific jogging strollers for the features mentioned above, which can be found at:
