Best running stroller -- BOB SUV still available?

Bump (no pun intended). I'm also curious about people's thoughts on this

Just one kid? I’d look at the Baby Jogger Summit X3. They make a double too, but it looks wider than I would want to run with.

Thule Urban Glide 2 is the best jogging stroller on the market right now.

I can run 7 minute miles comfortably with my one year old in it and it adjusts well for taller runners. I'm 6'2".

Calum Neff, a top runner in the Houston area uses it to set all manner of stroller pushing WRs.

Another vote for the Thule Urban Glide - super light, comfortable, does everything you need. In fact, its the ONLY stroller of any kind I've ever owned. And all my friends with BOBs wish they had gotten the Thule...

Agreed on the Urban Glide 2. As long as the route is relatively straight, I have no problem running 7:00 pace with it. I got used to it after only a week or so. Turning frequently at close to 7:00 pace with any stroller that has a wheel-lock is probably going to be tough...

Congrats on the kid.

You guys rock, thanks! I'll be back in April looking for advice on how to sneak in solo miles with a newborn ;-)

Newborns (and long past that age too) like to wake up at all sorts of odd hours and moms love nothing more than some quiet sleep. Embrace it and you’ll get plenty of solo runs in. Just be prepared to run slow as pushing a stroller on 3-4 hours of sleep can be tough.

My second child forced me into being quite the morning person and we logged hundreds of sunrise miles together this past spring and summer thanks to him consistently waking up at 4:30-5am. We’d get in 7-10 miles and be back home before my wife and older son even woke up.

Oh God, I remember this period when I was looking for the best stroller. I didn't think that it is so hard to choose a stroller. It has to be light, not so big and not so small, the amortization also has to be a good one, comfortable, and many other things. I thought that these crazy times will never come back, but now we have to buy a scooter and here we go again lol. I was looking on the internet for some more information about this and found this site https://cutelittledarling.com/best-scooter-for-6-year-old/. There are really a lot of reviews for different brands and the description. I'm not sure which one exactly to choose. If you have such experience can you please help me too?!

I don't know if it's the best, but I have the BOB Revolution and have been happy with it. It's held up well over four years and two children.

We got the Bob Ironman with our first. It’s been discontinued but I still see it available on at least 1 site. Way stiffer and better for running than our double Bob. The front wheel is fixed so it’s not so good as an around town or shopping stroller but for running it is excellent.

If you can get a treadmill, you might consider it. I never really got great runs in while pushing a stroller. I felt like I was usually limited to 30-45 minutes, couldn't do any intervals, often had to take a break to address a need of a child, and hated the awkwardness of taking up the whole sidewalk when trying to pass others or dealing with oncoming pedistrians.

On the 4th child I finally got a treadmill, and really it was a game changer for marathon training, especially in those 1st couple years.

Thule Urban G all the way - excellent for Hill repeats too

I promise you that the BOB SUV is the best. I have used many running strollers, have three kids, and I promise you that the SUV is the best. I think Thule sponsors pro runners or maybe just gives them away for free to pro runners, which is why you might see it being mentioned a lot. I used my friend's Thule when my BOB had a flat and it just wasn't as good.

At the end of the day, get whatever you like best, but I have put north of 30,000 miles on BOB SUVs over the years - both single and double models - and promise it is the best for running.

The SUV is much better than the Revolution, too. You can flat-out roll with an SUV and it stays true no matter what. Revolution is not a good running stroller, IMHO. Annoying front wheel and rough ride.

Now you're making me think of what I don't like about the Revolution, which is that I do feel like I'm constantly course-correcting no matter how much I fiddle with the front wheel direction. I just accepted this as part of life.

Do you think the SUV is faster? I feel like I lose a ton of time on my stroller runs pace-wise. I don't really care, but it'd be nice to go a little faster.

I treat all my stroller runs as pure recovery. I actually think it benefits me to be forced to run so slow on weekends. It's a restraint and when I started to see it that way it made me not care at all about my weekend stroller pace.

+1

I only have an Thule Urban Glide and love it. Works well on pavement as well as simple trails (we run on forest paths with no problems). Longest run we’ve done was 21k. I also bought the baby bassinet but that didn’t work out, still too rocky on bad asphalt.

I bought a cheap organizer to hold my drink, snacks/drink for my daughter, keys, etc.

I would also recommend a rain cover, saved me twice.
