A double jogging stroller doesn’t just help you transport your children. Double jogging strollers can also help parents get healthy, lose weight, and improve emotional well-being that only exercise can provide. It also gets children healthier by exposing them to fresh air and it has this really nice side-effect of putting your babies to sleep.
In order to get the full benefits of a double jogging stroller, you’ll have to do your homework and choose a stroller that fits your lifestyle. One easy way of determining which stroller best suits you and your children is by looking at the wheels.
Double Jogging Stroller Wheels 101
First, you have to figure out how you’ll use your double jogging stroller. Are you a serious runner who wants to make the most of your run using a stroller? Or are you a fairly active parent who runs occasionally but walks and jogs all over the place? Where do you plan to use your jogging stroller? Once you’ve answered these questions, it’s time to look at the wheels.
A double jogging stroller may have a fixed front wheel or a swivel wheel. For serious runners, having a fixed front wheel makes it easier to push a jogging stroller around the track. If you plan to use your jogging stroller indoors as well as outdoors, get a front wheel that swivels. A swivel wheel will provide you with more manoeuvrability but the swivel action can be a nuisance for the serious jogger.
The next thing you need to do is to look at wheel size. For those who enjoy running through trails and intend to do a lot of running with their children, go for the biggest wheel size you can get. The 20” wheel offers the least resistance and is ideal for handling over bumpy roads.
The 16” wheel is ideal for light-off road use, like running through a beaten path in the park. This type of wheel still offers minimal resistance and glides easily. This wheel size is ideal for jogging around the park and walking around the town.
If you’re limited to city streets, 12” wheels would do just fine on a double jogging stroller. The advantage of these smaller wheels is that they’re compact and takes up less room in your car.
