I am a first time mom expecting in June and I have heard a lot of different things about strollers. I would like to know do you prefer a 3 wheel stroller (jogger) or a 4 wheel stroller and why? Thanks
Answer
I personally prefer the three wheeled all terrain strollers like Jeep Liberty and BOB strollers because of the front swivel wheel that has the option to lock straight.
I had a Jeep Liberty Urban Terrain with my son because I liked getting out everyday and walking briskly for my exercise.
However, it is a big stroller and my son didn't like it when he was a smaller infant. I wore him in a Snuggli during his very early months, and he finally began enjoying his stroller by the time he was about a year old.
Fortunately most of these all terrain three wheeled strollers have adapters that you can use to put your car set in, turning it into a travel system. However, you cannot jog with this stroller when you have the car seat installed. You must wait until baby has the head and neck strength and stability before taking him or her out on anything more than a stroll.
If I had the budget, I would may have gotten the BOB Revolution, but I liked the basket and other storage options on the Jeep Liberty better.
So bottom line: Three wheelers!

Jogging stroller versus travel system â pros and cons, & what about hiking?
Woodland H
Iâm thinking of getting a jogging stroller to use on our local hiking trails here. Has anyone ever hiked on trails using a jogging stroller? Or is it just meant for dirt roads & that type of terrain? What is it like hiking? Oh also, do jogging strollers come w/ the infant car seat? Does the basket underneath have ample storage compared to a travel system stroller?
What else are the pros & cons of jogger vs travel system? TIA!
Answer
Our Jogging Stroller turns by lifting the front wheel, which is a hassle to use for strolling around town, so we've got a variety of different types of strollers. I've used the jogging stroller on trails and mostly mulit-use paths (paved and dirts paths for biking and walking), never used it for hiking back country and while it's easier to push, I would think it would be unstable for hiking purposes (if the trails are bumpy and have obstacles).
The jogging stroller really isn't great for babies that aren't sitting up yet, it doesn't come with a special infant seat and we much preferred a standard stroller when our little guy was an infant (he could recline and sleep, plus the shade bonnet was bigger to protect him from the sun.
We opted not to get a Travel System, and it's worked out great. We've never had a problem with getting the baby in and out of the carseat to the stroller, and it's less gear to carry around. Car seats are in the cars permanently and we only used our infant seat carseat in shopping carts for a few months.
All in all, the jogging stroller is not getting used much at all, I prefer using the Kolcraft Contours stroller for our little guy. I suggest you visit some stores and see the different types personally, then shop on line to maybe save some money.
Hope this helps!
Best Wishes!
