Features to Look For in a Running Pushchair

Unlike traditional strollers, running pushchairs have large wheels that allow them to glide smoothly over uneven sidewalks and roads. They also have suspension that adjusts to make the ride more comfortable for your child.

Before you decide to jog with your stroller pushchair, practice walking and building core, leg and arm strength. Once you're ready, follow our tips to jogging using a stroller and choose the stroller that best suits your requirements.

Adjustable Handlebar

Adjustable handlebars allow you to determine the ideal place to run using the stroller. It is crucial to keep a straight posture and avoid sitting down. A good hand position is also vital to avoid wrist and arm discomfort. A handlebar that is too low causes you to put lots of weight on the front wheels and can cause instability and braking problems. A handlebar that is too low can force you to flex your hips inwards, which can cause back pain and poor posture.

Typically the handlebars are raised or reduced by bolts on the frame or headset. The bolts that you should be used will differ from model to model and you should refer to the owner's manual for specific directions. You might also be able to change the angle of the handlebars by moving the bolt on the headset that clamps the stem, but this can be a challenge and requires a lot of adjustment with the bike mounted on a stand.

To adjust the height of the handlebars you need to loosen the stem clamp bolts (also known as top-cap bolts), a quarter turn at a time until you reach the desired height. When tightening the bolts be careful because over-tightening could cause damage to the headset bearings. If your handlebars are still stiff after you've adjusted their height, it is likely to be a sign that your headset bearings need service or replacement.

If you are unsure what size stem you should buy take a look at your local bike shop or ask a friend who has a caliper, to measure the steerer for you. Don't be tempted to guess as you could end up with an extremely uncomfortable fit or damage the stem. It is possible, although unappealing, to shim the stem with thin stock, but if you push an aluminum stem into the shape it was not designed to be it will fatigue and break.

The size of the stem isn't always stated, particularly with stems that are newer and have a different "rise" angle. The reach of a standard "7" stem is typically listed in a straightforward way, however some kinds specify the reach on a different axis from the rise axis, which can be confusing.

Front Wheel Swivel

The front swivel wheels of a stroller that runs are a great feature in suburban and urban areas that allow you to maneuver the stroller through sidewalks, shops, and other places in which you can utilize the pushchair. It's much easier to make quick turns and avoid obstacles such as potholes and rocks, while still allowing the same control as a fixed wheel stroller.

However, if you don't intend on using your running compact pushchair for more than a few jogs, or casual strolls on pavements, a swivel wheel might be an unnecessary luxury. A fixed front wheel is more stable, and you'll be able to focus on your child instead of looking down.

This is one of its most impressive features. The smart system allows you to quickly and easily change the steering of your front wheel from straight forward for running to swiveled for daily use. You don't have to reach under or play with a lever or latch to change the position of the front wheel - just press a button and you're ready to go!

Most of the time the front swivel wheel lock will be activated when the collapsible pushchair is first being used to ensure that it is able to move in a straight line. This helps new users learn how to navigate the product without worry about it drifting off course. When the user is at ease with their new stroller, this wheel lock can be disengaged to add the additional flexibility and agility the swivel wheels offer. This is especially beneficial for parents who wish to be able quickly and easily move the stroller while they are playing or doing other activities with their child.

Parking Brake

Another crucial feature of buggy is a sturdy and reliable parking break. Some models require two pedals to engage the brakes, while others have spring-loaded mechanisms that are simple to engage and disengage with just one foot. The parking brake must remain firmly engaged when the running travel pushchair is not in use. Other safety features to take into consideration include the locking front wheel, suspension, and a strong hand wrist strap.
