How does this compare to the other jogging strollers with bigger tires with spokes? Like Thule or Graco?

By the looks of this product you're better off going with what you're referring to. These appear to be "joggers" because it's all aesthetics and no functionality. They look like tricycles but don't have suspension. You're still going to feel everything as if you had 4 wheels.

Go for the one with suspension. Your kid will thank you for it.

Thanks. That's what I was thinking. Also doesn't look like there was much interest in this despite the sale price

This is a nice stroller and a very smooth ride. Folds nice and small. One thing that's really nice is that the sunshade pulls forward very far, which is excellent. However, the basket is way too small to be useful. It's annoyingly small and can't fit our diaper bag (backpack style). We still like the stroller, but would probably think twice before buying it again.

I have this and it is great! Folds and unfolds quick. I don't care the little storage under isn't big enough. I just carry a backpack.

It can be used of streets but not for intense jogging or hiking. Think national parks/tourist areas. I had a extreme jogger and barley used it for my eldest.

Anyone have any recommendations for a functional jogging? Hopefully there's another one for prime day

This isn't a real "jogger" like bob or Thule. Buts it's a great compromise between a regular stroller and a jogger. Joggers take a ton of space and almost the entire trunk of a small car. Someone we know sold their jogger and got this, just for the convenience.

It's great for paved hikes and city use.

Thanks for the replies! Looking to get something for paved hikes and street walking. Not necessarily jogging. We have a four wheeler stroller right now and you feel all the bumps. Will consider As I keep researching!

Does the front wheel actually even lock on this? I don't think it does and I would absolutely never, ever take a child running in a stroller that does not lock the front wheel.

That said - I'd still not buy this vs. a Bob if you're thinking of taking your child running and I would buy a Bob again in a heartbeat. Here's why. FWIW - my kid is now 8 and I've run a bunch of marathons. These are just the features I'm familiar with in the Bob that I notice differ on this:

1. Front tire lock. I don't think anything is wrong (at all) with the Bob design but exactly one time I started running a little with my kid without the front wheel lock and very quickly realized how fast the stroller could pivot or respond to a crack in the ground. I think it would be super, super easy to crash your kid in a three wheel stroller where the front wheel does not lock. The Bob also offers a very easy tuning screw that corrects left/right drift.
2. Wrist strap. The Bob has one, this does not. I hold my stroller handle, but I don't think I'm perfect.
3. Wheel lock. The Bob lock directly physically locks the rear wheels. There's essentially no way to screw it up. This seems to have some wire tension lock up near the handle that must lock one or both wheels - I'm positive it's not more effective than the Bob.
4. Bigger wheels. Bigger wheels == more stability and also greater efficiency. I'm sure it's going to be less work to push a kid in the Bob than this stroller.
5. Inflatable tires. The listing for this seems to suggest that its "forever air rubber tires" are good. They are not. They will be cheaper, heavier, and transfer more shock to your kid in the stroller. There's a reason that cars and bikes still use inflatable tires and it's not that City Jogger has patented a brilliant and superior invention that they are keeping a trade secret for their strollers.

I mean, this price looks pretty decent, there's no denying that but if you're planning to take your kid running, the Bob (or probably Graco or Thule) are great and they are worth the money.

One more thing: our Bob revolution is an older model, but it tears down pretty easily and compactly. The main body folds up and the two rear wheels quick release and we've easily taken it through airport scanners and on trips. It's not tiny, but that size is often kind of a benefit (we've used it to lug stuff through airports once through security).
