Who has a baby Jogger?
I think I can't get the hang of a new stroller until I do it a few times.
I just feel like it's big and bulky!!!
And - does it recline? I don't think this one does!
Seems like it will be a smooth ride though so I guess I'll see later on today.

Re: Who has a baby Jogger?
I have one that is a few years old. My mom bought it for my aunt - who didn't use it once - so they saved it till I had Jack. I'm thinking this one doesn't recline. And, it def. does fold up as nicely as the ones I just searched online.
I guess I just need to suck it up and deal since it was free and all!

Re: Who has a baby Jogger?
i have one and i think it does take a few uses to get used to the size and all. i love it. use it alllll the time now, for running and/or walking. i have one with rather large wheels though. once you get used to it you'll probably really enjoy using it.

Re: Who has a baby Jogger?
I have an 'all terrain' jeep stroller that isn't really a Jogger but it's somewhat similar in style and size..
I bought it last summer and honestly hated it at first.. I too thought it was too bulky/heavy and never used it, and just about to sell it but for some reason held onto it for this year
I'm glad I kept it because Nikolas decided recently that he HATES his umbrella stroller so I dragged out the Jeep in desperation... Go figure, we both love it! It's really SUCH a smooth ride and DS seems so comfy in there, he doesn't fuss at ALL. The plus for me is that even though Niko is 28 pounds I hardly feel like I'm pushing any weight ... in general we both are much more comfortable (I used it at the March of Dimes walk a few weeks ago and even after 2+ hours of walking in the rain, both of us were happy campers )
Mine does recline, though I don't really use the recline too much (I have a kid who never ever EVER sleeps in his stroller so it's a non issue for us..)
I think after some use you'll grow to love it, but it does take some getting used to. I will say that I still find mine a bit cumbersome when I fold/lift it into my truck and it's definitely not the same as using a really light umbrella stroller for errands and such, but for long walks and getting exercise the all terrain and joggers are really wonderful!

Re: Who has a baby Jogger?
Thanks everyone - and Felicia - you made me excited to use it!
I have a Maclaren - we tried to go for a walk on the boardwalk today - and he cried the whole time...I think it was wayyy to bumpy for him.

Re: Who has a baby Jogger?
I got mine for 40.00....I have no idea if it reclines or not.
There is a strap on the back of the seat that I can tighten or loosen...I guess that controls the recline.
I look a mess when I use mine.
It cuts my stride in 1/2...I totally need my arms to jog.
So...I have the wrist band on...push it away then sort of jog up to it...
what I really need is a pole to attach from my stomach to handlebars...I have zero momentum when using it.
Its a schwinn...I think my bugaboo just spoiled me.

Re: Who has a baby Jogger?
I have the BOB Revolution and DS and I LOVE it. I go jogging all the time. OK, I don't jog as well as when I am by myself but I can't imagine pushing it and running up to it I would probably trip and break my face
It folds up nicely, but it's still big! But, you can easily remove the two back wheels for even easier storage.
ETA: This is the one we have. Yes, it does recline.

Re: Who has a baby Jogger?
I recently bought mine from WalMart and I LOVE IT!!! I stressed over which one to buy and was annoyed that I couldn't see it in person before purchasing, but I absolutely love it. I didn't want to spend a ton of money and they can be ridiculously expensive, and this one was only $100, so I didn't know what to expect. But it t handles so much better than any of my other strollers. Mine does recline, though not fully, but DS has napped in it. It also has the option to lock the front wheel or not. My girlfriend has the Jeep all terrain and my stroller is much narrower than hers. This is the one I have...

I would think that they restock things fairly quickly- especially a product that gets such good reviews.

I am in a stroller 5K coming up, I have to get my act together, people are going to be laughing when they see this.
