We've had a baby jogger brand jogger for 8 years and we are still using it with our 2nd child.  It's been from the mountains in Colorado, to Yosemite National Park to our local jogging trails in the midwest.  Very durable and very smooth.  Especially recommended if you're going to actually jog or run with it.

Answer 3

There are so many out there. I'm not sure any one is inherently better than any other.

I have a Baby Jogger, like in the previous answer, and love it. I've taken my now 7mo daughter out as long as 12 miles. I have friends who swear by the Ironman Bob.

What I did is talk to friends with kids. You can also go to a popular running area and see what people are using, and how they are using them. Then, I looked around online for deals. I wasn't necessarily sold on any one particular brand, but had 3 or 4 in mind. I found a great deal on a used BabyJogger on Craigs List. It was in good shape, so I bought it.

For jogging, in general, bigger wheels are better. They tend to roll smoother and straighter. Figure out what kind of additional features you may want. For example, I think everyone should have at least a canopy to protect the baby's sensitive skin from the sun. I don't have a rain canopy because I probably won't take my daughter out running in the rain (plus, in Denver, it doesn't rain that much). If you're going to be driving to your run, you'll want something that folds up and fits easily in your car. Also consider how it will fit in your house/garage. Jogging strollers are bigger than regular strollers.
