SAFETY TIPS
desperately seeking durability
Whether you use your jogging stroller every day or once a week, this is one of those baby items that should be durable over time. Jogging strollers are undoubtedly designed as the sturdiest strollers on the market, but this doesn't mean that you should take your jogging stroller for a quick run through a quarry full of nails and glass. Keep in mind that even the most hard-core jogging stroller is still essentially designed to carry your very soft and helpless little baby. The second way to destroy any stroller is to mistreat it when it's collapsed by tossing it heedlessly into wherever it is you store it and/or throwing heavy objects on top of it.
Eliminating the flimsier models from your search:
- No manufacturer's warranty? Don't buy it.
- Loose pieces? Wobbly parts? Don't buy it.
- Any repeat reports of breakdown? Don't buy it.
- Most anything under $100 is going to last about a year maximum.
Admittedly, you can't resolve all of these issues by simply reading the manufacturer's description, but here at baby-gaga we report even the tiniest failure of stroller integrity.
