The Guava Family Roam Crossover Stroller stands out for its modern style and effortless functionality. We love its sleek look, its innovative front wheel lock on the handle, and how it came fully assembled. We only needed to clip off zip ties—everything else was already attached and in place.

The Roam Crossover Stroller impressed us with its polished yet practical design, feeling luxuriously comfortable with squishy foam padding on the seat and shoulder straps. A five-point no-rethread harness with a two-button buckle always ensures a safe ride. One unique feature is the control for the front wheel lock, which is located on the adjustable, padded handlebar for easy access. Other favorite features are the seat, which reclines to a near-flat position; a cover that lifts over the mesh window in the back of the stroller, perfect for naptime; and the canopy’s magnetic peekaboo window with mesh. There’s also a roomy cargo hold that will fit a diaper bag, as well as a small zippered pocket for caregivers to store a phone or other valuables. Not included with this stroller are a snack tray, cup holders for the kid (or adult), bumper bar, or rain cover, though you can upgrade your stroller with the Roam Everyday Essentials Set to get several of those accessories. Not having these in the real world was a big problem for some parents (nowhere to store needed hydration) and one of our least favorite things about the stroller. 

Notably, this jogging stroller has airless tires, so there’s no need to worry about flats or punctures. While some airless tires can be heavier than traditional air-filled ones, we thought the Roam Crossover was lightweight and easy to run and walk with. When jogging with the stroller on a running path, we found that the swing-arm suspension helped it move smoothly over various terrains, including cobblestone, which we could barely feel. It was easier to use with the wheel unlocked, but with the front wheel lock button on the handle, we could switch back and forth between modes when weaving in and out of crowds. It’s held up well over dirt and gravel trails in our real-world testing and turns on a dime beautifully. Plus, it’s a breeze to maneuver one-handed with a kid in tow with little bounce in return. 

Folding the Guava Roam Crossover was a breeze, and the instructions are helpfully located on the stroller in two places. All you need to do is lock the wheel, collapse the handle and the canopy, lift the flap by the foot area, and then lift a handle. According to the brand, the jogging stroller is 50% smaller when folded, and there’s no need to remove the wheels to get a compact fold. Unfortunately, locking the stroller into place after unfolding it is cumbersome. Instead of the unit clicking into place, you have to manually tether a small strap with both hands. 

At $650, this stroller isn’t one of the cheapest on our list, but we think it’s reasonably priced for its many features. Moreover, it’s still in excellent condition after several months of use—no wobbling or change in quality at all.

With its easy assembly, quick folding process, and appealing design, the Uppababy Ridge All-Terrain Stroller is a first-rate jogging stroller. It was a dream to assemble: After taking it out of the box, we simply popped on the wheels and locked the stroller into place.

The Uppababy Ridge shined in the design department with its array of thoughtful features. It has an adjustable UPF 50+ canopy with a mesh peekaboo window for visibility, as well as an adjustable handlebar with four settings to best fit the adult’s height. It also has a hand brake and a unique foot brake with two separate pedals for locking and unlocking the brakes. Kids require a lot of gear, so we appreciate the stroller’s spacious cargo hold, which easily fits a large diaper bag. For adults, there’s a handy mesh cup holder and a zippered canopy pocket that can hold a phone. In terms of safety, the handlebar has a wrist strap to help control the stroller’s speed, and the seat has a padded five-point non-rethread harness. The carriage has two side pockets that could fit a sippy cup or small toy, but we wished there were a snack tray, bumper bar, and more seat padding. (Compatible snack trays and bumper bars can be purchased separately.)

This stroller maneuvered nicely with the wheel locked and unlocked, though it ran particularly well with the front wheel locked. While we found some jogging strollers nearly impossible to turn with a locked wheel, we didn’t have much trouble turning or maneuvering around obstacles with the Ridge.

An easily foldable stroller comes in handy, especially when you’re trying to load up the trunk quickly with kids in tow. To fold the Uppababy Ridge, simply press a button and twist the handlebar. When collapsed, the stroller stands upright, which is great for those with limited storage space.

Though there are less expensive options, this jogging stroller is priced similarly to several of our top picks. It can also be turned into a travel system: The stroller is compatible with Nuna, Maxi-Cosi, and Cybex car seats, as well as the Uppababy Mesa V2 car seat, with the separate purchase of an adapter. It’s also compatible with the Uppababy bassinet.

It should be noted that we tested the original model of the Uppababy Ridge All-Terrain Stroller, which was recalled on September 1, 2022, due to a fingertip amputation hazard posed by openings in the rear disc brake. The brand has since released an updated model with a new rear disc brake design that should pose no danger to tiny fingers. All other features are the same.

For avid runners in the market for a lightweight yet tricked-out jogging stroller, look no further than the Thule Urban Glide 2. It was super easy to put together, as it came almost entirely assembled—we only had to pop in the wheels. If you do get stuck, the company includes detailed instructions, which we quickly scanned to learn how to fold and unfold the stroller. Otherwise, we never needed them in the lab or the real-world test. 

The shiny aluminum and cool-toned polyester fabric (there are multiple color options available) give the stroller a sleek, modern look. It earned full marks in our design category thanks to its aesthetic combined with several practical features, including an ergonomic handle with a twistable hand brake; large, grippy rear wheels; a zip top on the spacious cargo hold to protect your belongings from the elements; a padded five-point no-rethread harness; and a peekaboo window with a magnetic closure. Sadly, the Urban Glide 2 doesn’t have designated areas to hold a runner’s water bottle or child’s snack and sippy cup. Instead, we placed everything in the roomy cargo area, but we didn’t like stopping and bending over each time we (or our kids) wanted a drink. We also lost a sippy cup along the way (RIP, cup). On the plus side, the stroller’s polyester seat and canopy covers are removable, so parents can hand wash it to take care of spills and messes.

When it comes to maneuverability, it was a mixed bag. We love how the stroller maneuvers when the front wheel is unlocked: It feels super lightweight and nice to handle, even with one hand and a sandbag in it in the lab. However, after testing the Urban Glide 2 with its front wheel locked both in the lab and in the real world, we found it difficult to turn (but doable). While doctors often recommend locking the wheel for safety, many running parents we spoke to say they never do so for this very reason. Overall, each ride has been smooth for both the runner and their child. We never felt as if we were pushing too much extra weight around.

It’s easy to store or transport this jogging stroller thanks to its one-handed fold. We appreciated the simplicity of lifting, turning, and pushing a flap with one hand for a quick fold (it’s easier with two, though). The back wheels can also be detached with the push of a button for a more compact footprint in car trunks or closets.

While this jogging stroller has a steep price, it's a decent investment for someone who's serious about exercise.

Lightweight and easy to steer, the BOB Gear Rambler is a great pick for parents and caregivers looking for a versatile stroller that can be used for jogging or everyday activities. Before evaluating the stroller’s design and maneuverability in the lab, we had to assemble it, which was a bit difficult due to unclear guidance from the instruction booklet. However, after watching a tutorial video online, assembly was fairly straightforward, with the wheels unfolding and locking into place. Plus, since it weighs only 25 pounds altogether, we found it easy to flip over to add the wheels. 

The Rambler’s design features a peekaboo flap on the canopy, a mesh back for airflow, a one-handed reclining seat with decent padding, and a secure wrist strap. The five-point no-rethread harness makes it easy to adjust the shoulder straps to best fit your little one. We wished the cargo area was bigger, as we could only fit one of the diaper bags (with effort, and it was squished). We also missed the convenience of cup holders and an adjustable handlebar. On the flip side, we appreciated that it’s easy to turn into a travel system, as the stroller is compatible with most major brands of car seats using a BOB Gear car seat adapter (sold separately).

In terms of maneuverability, the Rambler rode quite well during our lab and real-world tests. Even with the front wheel locked, we could move it side to side enough to avoid small obstacles or weave in and out of crowds, and we were also able to get it up and down curbs effortlessly. Making a larger turn with the wheel locked was tricky, though, and could only be done by tilting the stroller back in order to lift the front wheel. 

Folding the Rambler is done easily with two hands, but the stroller doesn’t stand upright when folded, and the lock is a little finicky.

For $470, this jogging stroller has most of the features you want, minus a cup holder and easy turning capabilities with the wheel locked. It is lightweight, easy to run with, and the design isn’t too athletic-looking, so it can double as an everyday stroller.

For families with two young siblings, a solid double stroller comes in handy. The BOB Gear Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie was our favorite double stroller we tested. We were impressed with it right out of the box because it was pretty straightforward to put together, with all tools included and only the wheels needing to be assembled. The only downside was its weight and size, which made it a little difficult to maneuver when putting the wheels in and for storage purposes.

We loved the double BOB Gear Revolution’s design, especially its canopies, which provide plenty of shade and pull down separately for each kid. Large enough to shield little legs from the sun, the canopies are also UPF 50+ with breathable mesh and peekaboo windows. Both seats have secure five-point no-rethread harnesses and recline separately, which is handy if only one kiddo is resting. However, reclining a seat while a child is in it felt a little clunky. We also found the harness and buckles a bit tight, particularly when two children were wearing coats. While the kids get cup holders and snack areas (which were slightly crowded), we desperately wished for an adult cup holder to keep a water bottle because we had to squish items into the cargo area. Helpfully, the soft handle can be adjusted up or down depending on the caregiver’s height, even while you’re running.

When testing the stroller’s suspension and air-filled tires, we were impressed that it could comfortably be maneuvered with one hand on the ergonomic grip. It glides easily over rough terrain and feels like it solidly grips the ground while running on a flat surface. We were super impressed with how effortlessly the stroller provided a smooth ride for everyone, allowing us to run farther with less effort. In fact, we thought it was easier to push than a single-running stroller when loaded with two kids during a 3-mile run.

While it received high marks for assembly, design, and maneuverability, the stroller’s folding capability was not intuitive. We had to read the eight steps outlined by a diagram in the manual to figure out how to collapse it, which we couldn’t do one-handed. This proved to be true in the real world, too—we couldn’t figure out how to fold it again, making it difficult to bring back inside or transport. However, when folded, the stroller lays flat and easily fits in a trunk.

Despite this pick reaping a steeper price tag, it would be a great investment for a double stroller with excellent functionality and durability. We even left this stroller outside for one week, and despite being rained on, it suffered zero damage (no rust and no odors on the fabric).

We were impressed by this double jogging stroller’s design, maneuverability, and ease of folding, especially given its budget-friendly price. Unfolding and locking the Joovy Zoom X2 was fairly easy, but installing the front and rear wheels took some elbow grease.

The stroller’s design wowed us with its features and attractive appearance. It’s available in neutral and bright shades to fit your family’s preferences, and it’s pretty sleek for a double stroller, weighing only 28 pounds. To engage the brake, you simply press down with your foot on any part of the foot brake, rather than on a small pedal. The carriage is optimized for your little ones’ comfort with padded reclining seats that each have a mesh pocket. Your kids are also secure in their spots thanks to the five-point no-rethread harnesses. The footrest has a mesh lining, which is great if your kid has muddy or snowy shoes. Plus, the extra large UPF 50+ dual canopies protect little ones from the sun while still allowing for air circulation. There are two cup holders for the adult, which can be detached and stowed in the roomy cargo hold if need be, but there’s no snack tray or stand-alone cup holder for the kids (those accessories are rare in jogging strollers). While the handle is soft to grip, its height isn’t adjustable.

The Joovy Zoom X2 was easy to maneuver during our tests, especially for a double stroller. We thought it turned really well thanks to its extra-large tires. The front wheel, which swivels when unlocked, is locked easily by pulling a handle on the wheel.

With the folding mechanism easily accessible on the handlebar, collapsing this stroller was a breeze despite its larger size. To fold, press two buttons simultaneously, lift it a little, and then fold it down. When folded, the Zoom X2 has two handlebars, making it easy to lift into the trunk or storage space.

This double stroller costs about the same as a middle-of-the-line single jogging stroller and has a lot of handy features, making it a great pick for families looking for a budget-friendly double jogging stroller. It also comes with an air pump for refilling the tires.

For parents who are looking for a budget-friendly option or want to test the jogging stroller waters before investing, the Baby Trend Expedition drives smoothly, folds easily, and has a low price point. It’s a travel system, meaning the jogging stroller comes with Baby Trend’s EZ Flex-Loc Infant Car Seat (but note that you should not run with an infant under 6 months old). Assembly is fairly straightforward, as the front wheel comes already attached. All we had to do was click in the back wheels, kid’s tray, and adult’s tray.

In terms of its look, the Expedition isn’t the sleekest of strollers, but it has several handy features. It’s one of the few jogging strollers with an opening between the seat and canopy, making it very breathable. There are sturdy tray tables for both the kid and the grownup, though the kid's tray is permanently fixed in (with a swivel open to get the kid in and out). The stroller has a slim profile and a storage area that’s deep but narrow. One drawback is that the wrist strap, which is attached to the handles with velcro, falls off easily and drags. We were also not fans of the two-piece buckle, which has to be fit together at a certain angle, like puzzle pieces, to secure your child properly.

We loved how the Expedition jogging stroller maneuvers. Thanks to its great shock system, it seemed lightweight and we didn’t feel like we were jostling our precious cargo. With the front wheel unlocked, the stroller turned very smoothly, while a wheelie was necessary for wide turns with the wheel locked.

This stroller was one of the easiest to fold with the folding triggers at the bottom of either handle, which must be pulled to fold. When collapsed, the stroller is propped up by the handlebar if it’s placed in the right position. The biggest drawback of the Expedition is that it doesn't get very compact when folded, and the back of the seat sticks out quite awkwardly.

For the low price point, parents and caregivers get both an infant car seat and a jogging stroller that is easy to maneuver and fold. And since it can also be used as your main stroller, this Baby Trend Travel System provides an excellent value.

With its three steering settings, the Bumbleride Speed is great for serious running and casual outings alike. However, this jogging stroller did not get off on a strong foot due to its difficult assembly—even with the well-written instructions that included helpful colored photos. We had to screw in the front wheel, attach the rear axle, pop in the rear wheels, and connect the canopy and bumper bar (which was not an intuitive process at all). Fortunately, you should only have to do all of this once, so many will choose to overlook this attribute.

The Bumbleride stroller’s impressive design and maneuverability more than made up for the initial setback. We particularly liked the stroller’s brake, which is easy to kick up and press down with one foot. Other favorite features include an adjustable handlebar, a seat that effortlessly reclines with a clip, a three-part canopy that provides multiple levels of coverage, an adjustable bumper bar that clicks into place seamlessly, and a mesh peekaboo window for circulation and viewing. We also like the stroller’s reflective elements, which come in handy for early morning runs. The five-point harness needs to be rethreaded to adjust the padded straps, and the three-part clips are a little confusing at first. Though the cargo area is a bit narrow, a diaper bag can fit in snugly.

The Speed glides smoothly over many types of terrain, including dirt, concrete, and grass, thanks to its all-wheel suspension and air-filled tires. With a long wrist strap and locking front swivel wheel, it makes running comfortable and safe for parents and little ones alike. The front wheel has three steering settings—locked, partial swivel, and full swivel—to help you transition between different terrains and activities, whether you’re taking a jog in nature or pushing your little one around the mall.

An ergonomic trigger release makes storing the jogging stroller simple, as it folds over itself into a flat, compact shape. It could be stowed in a trunk, standing in a garage or entry, or leaning against a wall in a deep closet. The Speed requires both hands to fold, which is not as ideal for parents of lively little ones. 

While there are cheaper alternatives on the market, this stroller’s narrow frame, smooth driving, and adjustable steering settings make it a great choice for high-mileage running such as marathon training.

Thule’s Chariot Cross Multisport Trailer and Stroller can be used as a bike trailer, jogging stroller, and even a trailer for cross-country skiing, which especially active families will appreciate. (The jogging kit, which turns it into a three-wheel stroller with a fixed front wheel, and ski adapter kits are sold separately.) We have to admit it didn’t impress us right off the bat due to the complicated and time-consuming assembly—the instructions were very unclear and had no text, the rear wheels took some effort to attach, and the handlebar had to be screwed in. However, once it’s all put together, this is a very solid stroller and you get the sense that it will last for years and years.

The Chariot Cross wowed us with its design and maneuverability. Since it functions as a bike trailer, kids are fully contained in the carriage of the stroller by netting in the front (great for keeping out mosquitoes) and clear plastic windows on the sides. Plus, there’s a small mesh window in the back so parents can peek in. Inside, there are little pockets for kids to store a snack or toy, and there’s ample padding on the back and seat, which can recline. The buckle on the no-rethread harness is only one button, but it’s hard enough to work that a kid couldn’t do it. Due to the shape of the trailer, there’s no space for cargo underneath, but there’s a container with a safety light attached to the back, which is actually easier to access. We also liked the pretty light blue color.

When test-driving the Chariot Cross—in its four-wheel configuration without the jogging kit—it felt bouncy yet smooth, which would make for a fun ride for kids. Since it’s light, the stroller is easy to maneuver, and the four wheels feel stable even though the front wheels don’t lock. 

Folding this stroller was a little difficult. The buttons on the side, which collapse the stroller, are hard to press and even harder to lift up. The trailer also doesn’t fold down all the way unless you remove the wheels, so we don’t recommend it for people with limited storage. 

At $1,250, the Chariot Cross was the most expensive jogging stroller we tested, which is not surprising given all of its functionalities. The jogging kit is also sold separately, adding an extra cost. Despite its high cost, we recommend this jogging stroller for avid runners and bikers who can take advantage of all its configurations and capabilities.

Travel systems are a useful purchase for those looking to find an inexpensive solution for their growing families. After conducting our testing, we decided that the Graco Modes Jogger 2.0 Travel System was our favorite travel system, since it’s adaptable and budget-friendly. The stroller comes with the Graco SnugRide SnugLock 35 LX Infant Car Seat, which attaches to the stroller with a one-step locking motion. Stroller assembly was easy, with all of the pieces snapping together quickly and intuitively.

The stroller’s design is nothing fancy but had several features we liked. There are handy plastic trays for both the adult’s and the kid’s drinks, as well as a space to store a grown-up’s phone. The cargo hold was spacious enough to fit a diaper bag comfortably. The seat is cushioned well and reclines back for naptime, while the UV 50 canopy provides shade and breathability. Unfortunately, the harness must be rethreaded to adjust the height of the straps, and the buckle features an odd configuration where the shoulder straps get threaded with the waist buckle piece (an extra step that may be frustrating for caregivers in a hurry). 

When it comes to maneuverability, the 33-pound stroller felt as heavy as a double stroller but it took turns really easily. While it didn’t bounce too much over the cobblestones, we felt we needed to lock the front wheel for it to feel sturdy.

The stroller impressed us when it came to folding. To fold, simply press a button at the handlebar and rotate it to collapse the entire stroller (after removing the car seat, of course). Once folded, the Graco Modes Jogger stands upright with the help of a kickstand, which is useful but a bit confusing at first.

Considering this travel system comes with an infant car seat at an affordable price tag, we couldn’t be more excited about its overall value. While you can’t jog with an infant in the car seat, you could use this as a stroller for walks in the park before they’re old enough. We recommend this stroller for those looking for a budget-friendly option that they don’t plan to use exclusively for frequent jogging.

Most people don’t run on perfectly even surfaces, so it can be helpful to have a jogging stroller that drives well on many types of terrain, like the BOB Gear Revolution Flex 3.0. It’s a single jogging stroller, though it also works with BOB car seats or other major brands with the additional purchase of an adapter. We appreciated the stroller’s straightforward assembly instructions, which required us to simply fold a few parts into position. You do need to install a screw into the front wheel, but all necessary tools are included in the package. 

With its neutral colors and sleek build, the Revolution looks like a high-quality stroller. The large canopy has an extra mesh panel in the front and UPF 50+ for added sun protection. It also has a magnetic peekaboo window on the top, which is great for quietly checking on a napping little one. The seat reclines effortlessly with a string lock, allowing caregivers to customize the seat’s angle (it can be reclined with one hand, but pushing it back upright will take both hands). Inside the seat are mesh pockets, rather than cup holders or a snack tray, and a five-point no-rethread harness. The stroller’s brake engages with a foot pedal, but we wished they were easier to unlock. While there’s no cup holder for the adult, a water bottle could be stowed in one of the Revolution’s many pockets, one of which is designed specifically for a phone. Storage is also available in the stroller’s cargo hold, but your items must be compact. Overall, we liked the Revolution’s design but felt a few features were missing.

The suspension allowed for smooth, bounce-free driving (when the front wheel was unlocked) on multiple types of terrain, like grass and pavement, during our lab and real-world tests. When the front wheel was locked, however, the stroller pulled slightly to the left. We should note that you can quickly fix the alignment of BOB strollers with the turn of a knob located by the front wheel. Unfortunately, we encountered a consistent squeaking noise from one of the wheels after three months of use. Additionally, while the stroller features an adjustable handlebar, the overall design still felt too large for shorter people, though our taller parenting editors didn’t experience this problem. 

This stroller’s folding process was our least favorite part because it requires several steps: locking the brakes, pressing on the levers by the handlebars, pushing the top half of the stroller forward, pulling up the red loop that's underneath the seat, and then finding the buckles to clip the whole thing together. It’s also bulky when folded—we stuck it in the trunk for a trip, and it took up more room than we wanted.

The Revolution’s price is appropriate for its performance in assembly, design, and maneuverability, but we feel it didn’t perform well in the folding category. After a few months of constant use, we’ve only noticed slight wear and tear from tossing it in the car and stowing it on the garage floor.
