Whether you're an running enthusiast or are in the market for a versatile stroller, a jogging model may be your best bet. Offering superior control, ample storage space and comfort for your child, today's jogging strollers have come a long way from their clunky predecessors and are more often seen in the mall or at the playground than on the hiking trail.

BOB Sport Utility D'Lux

BOB makes a variety of jogging models and their ultralight D'Lux works well for workouts on all terrains and maneuvers easily on unpaved trails and supermarket aisles. Aluminum wheel rims make this one of the lighter joggers on the market and it features an extremely roomy cargo area for towels, blankets and everyday shopping. Plus, the D'Lux folds down flat easily for trunk storage.

Valco Baby Runabout

We love the design (especially the Harlequin black and silver model) and function of Valco Baby's Runabout. Loaded with features like a front wheel that easily swivels from jogger to stroller mode, one-handed reclining seat, zip off diaper bag and roomy cargo area, the Runabout offers a stylish and practical solution.
