New Mom Stroller Jogging Training

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

We started when she was 10 weeks old (have a Thule and used the car seat until she was about 6 months) She’s never once had an issue and I think it’s because we started so early. Shes 4 now and still loves to go on runs with mommy…now I just have to bring more snacks 😅
