Baby Joggers are gaining in popularity these days, as mothers and fathers alike try to stay in shape and keep their family healthy. Jogging with your baby can be a great way to get fresh air and exercise, and for your baby to see the world. Anyone who is serious about jogging should be sure to invest in a proper jogging stroller.

Baby Jogger has three strollers rated for jogging - the Summit 360, the Performance Series, and the Switchback Hybrid.

Baby Jogger's Performance Series is the ultimate in jogging strollers. It has large 20" pneumatic wheels for less rolling resistance with lighter aluminum construction and a rear wheel suspension, ensuring the smoothest most comfortable run. They have additional jogging features, such as a fixed front wheel for greater control, streamlined design for less wind resistance, a hand brake for quick slowdowns, and reflective stitching for greater visibility. Including all the best features of Baby Jogger strollers, such as a safety harness, parking brake, standard reclining seat, sun canopy, ample under seat storage basket, and quick-release latches for easy folding, the Performance Series is the clear choice for the serious jogger!
