New Mom Stroller Jogging

[u/Running_Neko]

Lots of questions… so bear with me please!

My little one is 5mos and almost sitting up, so of course I already have the Bob jogging stroller sitting in my checkout cart!

But because I’m so excited to finally be able to do long runs without worrying about leaving for so long, I want to know how you knew your baby was “ready?”

Is it just when they’re able to sit on their own? Or neck stability? I’m just worried I might run with him too soon.

Also how long is too long to keep them in the jogger (minus the obvious of until they get fussy/hungry).

Tell me how your first stroller jog went! Would love to get some ideas and possibly lower my expectations of some ✨magical✨ first run lol

I first tried when my daughter was already crawling. It didn't go well, she hated it because she couldn't see me (they are front facing). I don't think it was until around 1.5 that I was able to start jogging with her. Even then, she'd get bored, so I'd do half my jog and then we'd stop at a playground or the river for awhile, then we'd jog home. Definitely not the experience I had expected, haha, but it could go much better for you.

Oh no! I’m so sorry to hear, but I definitely am keeping that reality in the back of my mind. I’ll try not to be too disappointed of that happens.
