Features to Look For in a Running Pushchair

Running cheap pushchairs, unlike traditional strollers, have large wheels which allow them to glide smoothly on bumpy streets or sidewalks. They come with adjustable suspensions to make the ride smoother for your child.

Before you attempt jogging with your stroller, practice walking and building core, leg and arm strength. Once you're prepared, follow our tips for jogging with a stroller and choose the stroller that best suits your requirements.

Adjustable Handlebar

Adjustable handlebars help you determine the best place to run using the stroller. It is essential to run with a straight, tall posture. A proper hand position is also essential to prevent arm and wrist pain. A handlebar too low can cause you to put more weight on the front wheels, which can result in braking and instability issues. On the other hand, a handlebar that is too high can force you to bend forward at your hips and may cause back problems and poor posture.

Typically the handlebars are raised and lowered by simple bolts located on the headset or frame. It is recommended to consult the owner's guide for specific directions. The exact bolts differ between models. You may also be able to change the angle of the handlebars by adjusting the headset bolt that clamps the stem, but this can be tricky and requires lots of adjustments using the bike on the stand.

To adjust the height of the handlebars, loosen the stem clamp bolts (also called top-cap bolts) one quarter turn at one time until you reach the desired position. When tightening the bolts, take care not to over-tighten as over-tightening can damage the headset bearings. If your handlebars are stiff after you have adjusted the height, the headset bearings may require servicing or replaced.

If you're not sure what size stem you require you can consult your local bike shop for advice or ask someone else to measure the steerer. Don't guess or you'll end up with an extremely uncomfortable fit or end up damaging the stem. It is possible, albeit unappealing, to shim the stem with thin stock, but if you make an aluminum stem conform to an unnatural shape, which it wasn't intended to be, it will deteriorate and break.

The size of a stem isn't often clearly specified, especially on stems of a newer design with different "rise" angles. Traditional "7" shaped stems typically list the reach in a simple manner, however others will usually list the reach along an axis that is different from the axis of the rise and can lead to confusion.

Swivel Front Wheel

The front swivel wheel of an incline pushchair is an excellent feature for suburban and urban areas where it is easy to maneuver your stroller through shops sidewalks, and other areas where you might utilize the pushchair. It makes it much easier to make quick turns and avoid obstacles such as potholes and rocks while offering the same control as a fixed wheel stroller.

But, if you don't intend on using your pushchair for more than occasional jogging or leisurely strolls on surfaces the swivel wheel could be a waste of money. A fixed front wheel is more secure, and you will be able to focus on your baby instead of looking down.

This is one of its most impressive features. It has a smart system that lets you quickly and effortlessly change the direction of the front wheel from locked straight ahead for running, and swiveled for daily use. Don't have to worry about reaching under or fiddling with a lever or latch to alter the position of the front wheel just press a top-mounted button and you're set!

Most of the time this kind of front swivel wheel lock is activated when the pushchair first gets used so that it only rolls in a straight line. This assists new users to learn to steer the product without worrying about it veering off course. When the user is at ease with their new stroller the wheel lock can be disengaged to add the additional flexibility and agility that swing wheels provide. This is particularly useful for parents who want to swiftly and easily maneuver their stroller while running or doing other activities with their child.

Parking Brake

A sturdy and reliable parking brake is an additional feature to look for in a buggy that runs. Some models require stepping on two pedals to activate the brakes, but others come with spring-loaded mechanisms that are easy to disengage and engage with just one foot. The parking brake should be firmly engaged even when the reclining Pushchairs running are not being used. Other safety features include a locking wheel on the front, suspension and a sturdy wrist strap.
