Jogging stroller recommendations...

FrugalMomsRock75

For those of you with children-don't buy Joovy. I got a Joovy Zoom 360 jogging stroller a couple months ago, and I was really excited. It pushes wonderfully--until I try to use it jogging. When the wheel locks into place, it pulls HARD left. So hard that the last time I took it out, my right shoulder and arm ached for a good 10 days after!! It isn't usable as a jogging stroller, so it's basically a 250.00 piece of metal and pretty fabric. I called Joovy customer service, and they refuse to help me (and I called them quite a while ago; I've been going back and forth for a month+ now)!! What a letdown this has been!


I have a Baby Trend double (Expedition, I think) that I love...but I don't always need a double. I still need a single. I am thinking about the Baby Trend single... but has anyone used their single? I need something reasonable, since I spent my money on the stupid Joovy that's a piece of junk!

I also welcome an experience with another company where the product didn't work quite right that worked out WELL instead of how the Joovy issue has worked out for me...

Anybody?

Unfortunately, the affordable ones are all crap. I bought the Instep Flash and it pulled the way yours did. Their customer service was better though. After sending some photos and such, they said yes, its defective we'll send you a new one after you send proof you destroyed the old one. So I did and they sent me a new one. Which did the same.damn.thing. I called them back and they insisted that there was no way I got two defective ones in a row. So they paid for me to ship it back to them. And yes, they agreed it was AGAIN defective. They fixed it and shipped it back. I didn't even take it out of the box. I contacted American Express and am trying to get my money back through their refund guarantee program since the place I bought it from wouldn't return it.

I coughed up the money and bought a Bob Revolution SE. MUCH better.

I should add, my first Bob arrived with a flat tire. Ugh. And it pulls very slightly to one side, but unlike the cheap one, there is an easy way to adjust it. I just haven't gotten around to it yet - it's so much nicer running without the baby LOL.

I don't have a single, but I have the Baby Trend double, too, and I've been really happy with it overall. I might get rid of it though.... my son is a GIANT three year old - (wears size seven in boy's clothes), and we bought a wagon this summer.... I might just use that for the fairs, etc. I don't run, and we have the bike trailer that can be a double jogger, too, if my husband got the crazy idea to run with the kids again. (I think he learned his lesson, though!)
