Jogging stroller help from BTDT moms.... the women who I trust....
Okay, so since I finally have a check coming in, I am going to purchase for her what I've wanted to for a while now....
I need help from BTDT moms.
Which of these in your opinions (and if it's actual usage opinions that's even better) is the better buy?
My criteria are that the stroller handles well, not crazy heavy, and MUST have a snack/drink tray for her.
Here are my thoughts:
 Baby Trend Expedition LX Jogger
Instep Safari Swivel Wheel Stroller
Instep Suburban Swivel Wheel Stroller

I don't have any experience with any of those strollers but....are you going to use it to jog? If so you need something with a stationary wheel.
If you are looking for a good stroller for traveling look at the Baby Jogger Citi Mini...it's an awesome stroller.

No Jacqui.... I love to walk around town, and I want something that is going to be a great stroller.... not crazy heavy.... want it to give her some type of shock absorbtion....
And... I need for it to last.

I am so not able to spend that kind of money!
All the ones that I'm looking at are less than $200...

In that case I definitely recommend the Baby Jogger City Mini...it's right around the $200 mark...I don't have it but heard awesome things about it.
Also if you want to walk around town something with Air tires would be great...Did you try the strollers you posted in person?

The Baby Jogger Mini has a snack tray that you can buy as an add on...it doesn't have air tires but I heard its awesome...I noticed a lot of the moms in the City are using them now. The fold is also soooo easy. Good Luck!
ETA: www.rightstart.com is going out of business and has the Bob Jogging stroller for $240...not bad.

Re: Jogging stroller help from BTDT moms.... the women who I trust....
I have heard bad reviews of the in-step-you should look for a used higher end one on CL maybe-I have the Valco Twin and it is a  stroller but OMG it handles like a dream. It is 100% better than my friends Peg Perego(which is not a jogger but still)

I also agree with the Valco...they are great strollers.
Check out this CL posting...she's asking $250 but I'm sure you can negotiate with her. Valco Runabout You have to scroll through...its in the middle.

Re: Jogging stroller help from BTDT moms.... the women who I trust....
The in-step Safari has good reviews on walmart.com in case you didn't look over there. I've always found their reviews to be pretty accurate on there. Obviously a higher end one is probably going to be better, but comes with a higer price, so I would stick with your budget

Ohh no I'm sorry-You're doing steam? That works for congestion higher up in the throat and chest.
As far as the stroller-you definitely need to try them out for yourself. If you go to a place that has a lot of them that is the best way. I think Albee baby has a lot.

Re: Jogging stroller help from BTDT moms.... the women who I trust....
yeah, those BOBs are nice but so much money! The Jeep Liberty doesn't have a stationary front wheel and it is very reasonably priced. I thought I heard it was on sale at BRU, but if not they just mailed out coupons. I love my Liberty and I have 2 friends who like it too. I find it is great on streets but it is all terrain. I do some jogging at Stroller Strides and it does well there, but I'm not doing really long distances. The speaker feature is cool, the storage is good, and the child tray does the job. I can fit it in the trunk of my Passat. It is somewhat heavy but not too bad. A stroller like this should be heavy to handle the wear and tear. Plus, it is in your price range! You will enjoy it though...I don't want to use any other stroller (though the Maclaren is helpful sometimes).

Jacqui.... that stroller that's on there.. is that a Valco, or not?
The reason why I asked is b/c I actually already contacted her, and she is telling me that her stroller is a Volo.
