Mainiacs jogging wih buggies

cloptrop

Ive seen a large increase of these crazy people in all the fancy jogging gear running while pushing a pram , men and women are at it.
I find the fancier the area or shall we say posher the more common it is. Why are people trying to shake their babies to death. Can they not find a half hour to go for a jog on their own. Should buggies be doing 10- 15 miles an hour downhill . If I was a gaurd or social worker id seize these children . In the famous words of the internet.

WTF

Babybuff

I read that as juggling with budgies. Disappoint

stupidusername

Is this what we're doing now?

omg

sure they can leave the baby on their own in the house while the parent goes off for a jog who cares
or maybe they should never ever try to lose the baby weight and sit around all day

Get a treadmill , jog on the spot , the babies health is a bit more important than you losing the babyweight. Leave him with the daddy , do some press ups , yoga , a fitness Dvd ,

They shouldn't need to use buggies at all. Back in my day we just tied a rope to the babies and dragged them behind us and we went about our day and no one thought any less of it at all.

Amateurs! While on my bike and stopped at a red light, a woman on a bike with a baby in a baby seat on the back continued past me and went straight through the four-way junction. Sure it was quiet, but she still had to stop in the road to wait for a few cars to pass.
And when she did get through the junction she went up on the footpath then back down onto the road a little later on without looking about much.
Surely in such a situation you want to be as safe as possible!

These were all over the place when I was working in California. I used to be so nervous of them, you're essentially running at speed with a battering ram.

Suppose if safety was in these peoples fibre theyd have used protection in the first place

HA yeah plus if the battering ram hits you a baby dies. Surely they could find a bag of spuds or something in the pram instead of a baby.

I need to get my drunk on should I bring my pram to the nightclub?

gurramok

Reminds me of what I saw earlier this eve down this way, not a baby but an old folk being wheeled to her home in a wheely zimmer frame type device by a young relative. Picture a similar scene where a baby is being wheeled on a trolley in a supermarket and now replace that baby with an 80yr old woman, you get the drift!

Thought I was seeing things but I wasn't drinking this time

They're not.

Can they not find a half hour to go for a jog on their own.

Probably not. If they could, presumably they would, rather than pushing a buggy while doing so.

Should buggies be doing 10- 15 miles an hour downhill .

There's such a thing as jogging buggies, which are designed for this.

If I was a gaurd or social worker id seize these children.

No you wouldn't.

So you think putting the baby in danger is a good way to exercise because you cant find any other way to exercise at home? They tried to set up jogging classes and they couldnt get insurance . They arnt jogging buggies they are Terrain buggies ment for all terains, can these buggies stop the babies running into something at 1-15 miles an hour, what breaks have they got that are better than conventional breaks eg none apart from a footbreak

Going out for a jog with a jogging buggy in a safe environment is not bad parenting. If the person was jogging with their baby along the hard shoulder of the M50, that'd be a different story. Jogging buggies have V-breaks etc.

cloptrop

So you dont think there is any other exercise you could do apart from vibrate your kids head for a half hour a day?
Maybe 3-4 hours on weekends if your training for a marathon?

You do realise jogging buggys have shock absorbers etc? You may as well be ranting about people who put their babies in cars.

Leave the shock absorbers off.

It helps wind the little blighters.

Id liken it more to putting your baby on a motorbike that drove on uneven surfaces called paths , with people pushing them who dont have breaks , but if theres a break on the pram thats grand the person pushing its momentum will just stop too , not a hope of toppling over atall .

What kind of paths are you walking on?

As I said if the person brings their jogging buggy out in a safe environment such as a park, promenade, quiet estate that has no danger of harming the baby either through a collision or vibration then what is the harm?

But these people I see are jogging on the spot at traffic lights crossing the road when they get a chance to keep the heart rate up i reckon, I live in Dublin , driving through clontarf the other day I see people launching down the road at full speed when there is a perfectly good park at st annes ,
I still dont see why they cant just do another form of exercise , like buy a less expensie pram and pay a babysitter . Its a look at me I have a baby social nobend exercise if you ask me , Id say these people keep their farts in a jar for sniffing at the weekends to get buzzed on smugness.

So your problem isn't jogging buggies, it's actually people who have more money than you.

So what your trying to say OP is.....





Wont someone please think of the children!!!

They're probably paedos making a run for it after doing a spot of kidnapping in a supermarket car-park. Trip the bastards up and call the Guards.:(

This just gave me a whole insight into your psychy ,
I should have noticed it the first time you mentioned class but I let it go , you see this as a social standing dont you?
You really do.
You went out and bought the most expensive buggy you could find and the husband/wife/lifestyle partner said you better use it.
Jogging buggies are my problem, you havnt once highlighted the benefits of jogging a buggy in regards to exercise.
Is it running with weights ? You can get ankle weights for that , or put a sack of spuds in the pram as I mentioned above.
Do you think this benefits the baby? I seen a fella running around in the evening the other day was a bit cold, Im sure there is a wind chill factor at that speed.
I could go on and on but explain to me why you do this silly/dangerous exercise?

Wind chill factor - the new baby killer.

I was thinking more cold or flu , sort of thing , if you are that cold towards your child think of it in exercise terms , the baby not sleeping well limits your sleep , limits your repair time.
I still havnt got anyone telling me why they do it.

You can't get a cold from wind. In fact, the fresh air is good for them.

So sit them in the garden , where theres no traffic , no risk of toppling over from an immediate stop , no risk of crashing into someone, and no risk of your mates slagging you at the nursery cause your da looks like a dick.

If you left them in the garden, they could be eaten by slugs.

Go back to my first post. I actually ninja-edited the 'class' bit out, because...

you see this as a social standing dont you?
You really do.

No, you do, as shown in your first (and subsequent) post(s);

I've never used one in my life, nor do I know anyone who has.

I thought it was obvious. The benefits of a jogging buggy in regards to exercise is jogging.

Do you think this benefits the baby?

How else will they build resistance to the wind chill factor?

Oh rite so you just want an argement ,

Maybe the Little darlings are all in 3 wheelers .. Sure it's part of the selling point in this link http://www.babycentre.co.uk/baby/buyingforbaby/pramspushchairsbuggies/3wheelerbuggytest/

cloptrop

Is the front wheel fixed or can it swivel? And does it have a quick-release facility? You may need this to fit the pushchair into the boot of your car. For rough ground, a fixed front wheel is easier to control if you want to use the buggy for a jog with your baby

Secondly, although these pushchairs are designed for all-terrain use, it's best not to push a very young baby over rough ground in a way that would jolt him about.

This is on the same page of that link , so ,,,,,,,,,,,, eh what are you telling me? Its safe so long as i dont try sue you?

Err... is it the buggies you have the issue with or idiots with the buggies?

I jog with my buggy... I don't belt across roads any chance I get, I don't topple the buggy from stopping suddenly. If I stop suddenly, I hold the handles, I don't chuck the thing over it's front wheel.
The baby loves it, he gets outside, gets a nosy at the world and what's going on, and usually has a snooze, and definitely doesn't get shaken at all, seeing as I use paved footpaths. Much better for him than being stuck inside all day. As for wind chill, I just put him in warm clothes and put a hat on him. Kinda like I'd do for myself if it's cold out...

As for crashing into someone... I look where I'm going. Don't tend to jog with my eyes closed even if I don't have the buggy.

The idiots with the buggies , buggies are just the produce of a man trying to sell his product giving you differing information as to what you can do with them . Surely you arnt always 100 per cent concentrated on the road ahead. A rough patch of ground can come out of nowhere. Why dont you just get your exercise on then take the baby for a wlk later?

You wanna come babysit for me?! Cos if you don't, then baby has gotta come with me when I go for a jog... I don't exactly have a load of money or space to buy a treadmill either!

If I wasn't able to concentrate enough to spot someone walking torwards me, or a "rough patch of ground" (not really relevant, I take the same routes all the time so I kinda know the ground well enough, and like I said, it's paved...)
If I'm safe enough concentrating on what's going on when I drive, I'm safe enough to run at a fraction of that speed with a buggy.

Id say you could find an exercise thatd cost the difference between the fancy buggy and a cheap buggy . That you could do at home. Then take baby for a walk .

liliq

I don't own a paticularly fancy buggy. Fanciest thing about it is that it has pumped wheels. Which isn't uncommon and no fancier than plastic wheels, just more comfortable for the baby. Even if I was just walking these wheels would be better.
I exercise at home as well, but there's not much that I can do that is comparable with a decent jog.
Baby gets taken for walks as well, when I bring the dogs out.

It really is a win win- If I'm healthier and in better shape, I'm better able to look after baby.

Why should she when she enjoys what she is doing, it's practical and it isn't causing any danger for the baby? It's like telling someone to never go to the supermarket, because home delivery is an option. You have literally just taken a disliking to something (you think mainly posh people do) and are trying to justify it. Joe Duffy would lap it up.

Lanaier

Cloptrop point us to some evidence that jogging with a jogging stroller is in anyway dangerous or harmful to a baby.

Compare it to say...a baby seat on a bicycle.

Also, you clearly brought "class" into this in your OP, not seeing why this whole issue seems to be such a point of contention with you
