Jogger: BOB

"The BOB Revolution is just what you're describing. It's exceedinglymaneuverable, lightweight but sturdy, and yet it does not feel nearly as massive -- or as long -- as others I tried. It works just as well for running errands in town as it does for jogging or walking on trails. I like that the swivel wheel can be locked, but I hardly ever do lock it since the path where I run is winding. It also folds very easily, but is kind of floppy and "unlocked" once folded -- fine for the car trunk, but not the airline baggage claim. The shade is fantastic; it can completely block out the sun if need be. The best thing? The independent shock absorbers. No other jogging stroller has the dual suspension that BOBs have -- it's a very comfortable ride for little ones. The next best thing? We got it at REI during a Labor Day sale and received a whopping 20% off (and Memorial Day is coming!). I had thought we'd go to Buy Buy Baby, but incomprehensibly their coupons seem always to exclude big ticket items like strollers. I did pony up another $50 for the infant car seat adapter, though. But it was worth it; I was out and about with my newborn right away and because of those most excellent shocks he was neither shaken nor stirred!"
