jogging stroller help!

alright moms i need you to weigh in on this because i don't know. this baby jogger city micro stroller is on sale here for $99! it's a cute color and if it's like the city mini i love how it folds up with just a handle. however, i am not going to be using this as my everyday stroller i will be using this as a jogging stroller. is this really a jogging stroller? have you heard good things or used this as a jogger? what do you use?

i know rei has sales on bob's .. but remember i live almost 3 hours from an rei people! my town has a walmart, kmart, lowes and big lots.. that's it. so i do a lot of online shopping.

let me know what have heard what you think, it would be greatly appreciated!

I haven't used this stroller but I think you would do better with a jogger with larger wheels (easier pushing, smoother ride, etc). Drive the 3 hours to get the Bob, you won't be disappointed, it's the best jogger I've seen.

i love love love my bob. i have a single and double. i use it as my everyday stroller bc it pushes amazing! I dont even use my peg for malls and stuff anymore bc the bob just pushes so good. Before I had Ava i ran with some of my nieces on cheaper joggers and it was so annoying. I could never get into a groove so I was skeptical of the whole jogging stroller idea. However, I have to say jogging wiht hte bob is no big deal. I trained for half marathon with the bob. It is a machine :) REI ships I know...good luck..stroller decision is so hard!

liz, have you seen the micro in person? the micro is super nice, but it's more of a glorified umbrella stroller. if you are looking for something more sturdy i would go with the city mini. i have 2 friends here who use it as their jogger. i was torn between the city mini and a phil&teds. i ended up getting the phil&teds. definitely takes more time to fold up and pack away, but that thing is STURDY, so versatile, and all you'll need to do for when you have your next child is purchase the double seats attachment rather than buy a totally new double stroller. email me if you have questions

good luck on the hunt!

i love my bob! im currently training for a 1/2 marathon and have been able to take norah on almost all of my runs. it just rides so smoothly, you feel like you don't have to waste a lot of your energy pushing it.
