Hoping to jog with this as my first jogging stroller. Is there a wrist strap? I see there is no hand brake. How important are these features?

There is a wrist strap & I don't feel the hand brake is necessary. I love this stroller and totally recommend.

No. It wobbled with a fast walk. Not a good choice for jogging. I sent it back.

This is going to sound stupid but i'll say it anyway. The front end of the stroller is so light that you can push down on the handle and lift the stroller off the ground while you jog. I do it all the time because of the wobbly non-lockable front wheel. I'm not fond of it. But it is what it is. Other than that, I think the stroller is a good one. Just can't have kids that are too big (about 4 yrs old is max) because the belts don't allow for large kids, nor is there much leg room. My 4 yr. old boy (sorta big for his size) and slightly tiny/thin 2-1/2 yr. old girl are shoulder-to-shoulder in the stroller. Good thing they don't fight too much.....

No it is not a jogging stroller. I would strictly use it for it's intended purpose of walking your precious baby. Jogging with this stroller could result in severe injury or death. The Bob revolution is a wonderful walking/jogging stroller!

When you read the manual for this stroller - it says not intended for jogging. I bought is for jogging and the front wheel does shake if you walk too fast.

InStep Flash Fixed Wheel Jogger is a very nice stroller. It is fairly easy to collapse. Folds up very nice. We took it on our Florida Trip and had no problems with it. It was very easy to push on the sand.

Handles much better jogging than my bumble ride! I have never had to lock the wheels, although I know that's recommended;-). I confess I even jog with the Joey seat on the front... Def not recommended by the manufacturer. Oops. Handles really well and is the only way to get out of the house with three babies.

We have really loved using this stroller for running and it does really well. Haven't tried the BOB so can't say. But overall we have definitely enoyed it for walking, running, everything. One of the best things is that you can lock the front wheel for running or you can unlock it for walking. Lots of other joggers that we saw only have a locked front wheel. The only problem we've had with it is that it would pull to one side when locked. We figured out that the front wheel was not totally straight and contacted Joovy for a replacement. They were SUPER easy to work with and we got the new one in two days. Great customer service is always a big plus for products.

Hi, Yes love this as a jogger. I spent a month researching since these things are so expensive and have been very pleased with this model. You lock the front tire for jogging and it handles great. Absorbs bumps well too. I have a 26 lbs French bulldog and you end up with a great arm workout as an added bonus.

There is a wrist strap that you can use if you are worried about the stroller getting away from you, I didn't personally research any strollers with handbrakes (it's not all that hilly where I live). The stroller is light enough that I wouldn't think a hill would be too much of a problem.I also think I may have misunderstood you at first. This model doesn't have a handbrake, what looks like a handbrake is actually the lever that you pull to fold up the stroller, sorry if that isn't what you were asking! Happy hunting!

Yes - it has a handbrake and is located on the top right side of stroller near the handle.

The backs of the Bob strollers are not completely upright but I have never found that to be a problem. I wouldn't trade my single or double for any other jogging stroller.

You can do a slow jog. I would never run with this stroller. Its got smaller wheels and no brakes. Its an amazing stroller but a brisk walk is how I would use it.

No, it does not come with it. It's sold separately. I purchased the wheel and the handle and made mg bike look like a jogger but ira actually not made for jogging. It's more like a stroller. I tried to run with it but the wheel wiggled and did not move smoothly.

Yes, my daughter still falls asleep in the stroller during jogs and is now over 2 yrs old. I have never had a problem raising or lowering the back. To lower it, I use my knee to support the child while releasing the slip adjustments. The only drawback is that the child's legs remain in a bent position. I have often thought it would be nice if the feet could be raised for more comfortable sleeping.
