Jogging Strollers

I have one for my son ( baby trend expedition) and every time I take him in it and run i never can becuse the front tire always skids I guess is the right word for it. Sometimes it's like if there wa more weight in it it would be better. And sometimes it's like the wheel is just too loose. It's supposed to be "loose" in a way so it will be easy to steer and stuff.

Does this ever happen to anyone else? It's really annoying -.-

    Never happened to me, and I have two joggers. I have a single Schwin jogger and a double jogger that I can't remember the brand, but it's not a Baby Trend. Is yours a fixed wheel or a swivel wheel? How old is your son? How much does he weigh?

    Does your tire have a front wheel brake/lock? I'm wondering if your brake is rubbing on the wheel or if you have a faulty wheel lock that keeps jamming. Can you take it to a bike shop to get it looked at? That's where I go for my local tune ups, but I'm friends with the owners, so I don't know if they always look at jogging strollers or just mine. It's worth calling a few and asking if they service them, though. Most of the tires are like bike tires, and the brakes are generic bike brake systems, from what I understand.

    For the record, both of my joggers have a front fixed wheel. I had to have both front tire brakes fixed/adjusted/aligned a various times to keep them working efficiently.

    Yeah it swivels..I think there is a brake on it but I'm not sure lol. He's 10.5 months and weighs about 22 lbs.
    I'll probably have my dad look at it, he fixed the wheels for me..well did the slime when i popped all of them.
