There are different types of strollers available, and it is better to be clear out how you are going to use your stroller (something that suits your lifestyle) even before you start looking for a any specific stroller model.
If you love exercising, running and jogging or are planning to resume fitness regime, you should definitely consider a jogging stroller.
But is a jogger suitable for errands and everyday shopping trips too?
Here we take a look at the differences between a jogging stroller (also known as running stroller) and a regular stroller.

You can but it won’t be a great experience and personally I feels its risky for the baby.
So I wouldn’t use a regular stroller for jogging; its too much of a risk. You may use it for walks in the park but for jogging, you definitely need a jogging stroller.
Yes you can. You can lock/unlock the front wheel and use it for running in the park or for walking in the mall.
But as mentioned, they are heavier and at times you just don’t feel like using a big stroller just to go to the grocery store; you wish there was something lighter.
Running strollers can also look awkward in crowded areas because of its long front wheel which will most likely touch people around you.
Jogging strollers are also heavy and take up more storage space (some jogging strollers feature removable wheels which makes it a bit easier to transport in your car but they are still bulky).
That is why lot of parents invest in a a separate lightweight stroller (in addition to the jogger).
Note: Air-filled tires can puncture (like tires of bikes). so you will need to carry a puncture repair kit in case you intend to use the stroller regularly.
