Running Buggy

Hi,

First child is due to arrive in March, going to start looking into running buggy.

Recommendations on what to look out for - suspension, tires, qualify, etc.

Thanks

Had a big post written. boards deleted it.

summary - go do it.

I have out and about sport v3. a great buggy for running, crap around shops.

Fixed front wheel is important, wrist strap too. Bigger wheels are more comfortable.

So when we were looking at running buggies we went for the Out N About Nipper double (since we've two kids)

While it isn't a true running buggy, you can go jogging with it provided you lock the front wheel and use it on good quality paths

In general I'd say it's a great buggy, kids seemed comfortable and it's quite easy to manoeuvre with the front wheel unlocked.

It even turns reasonably well when locked, you'll be taking the turns quite gently anyway

We didn't get the full running version because we didn't want to have two bulky buggies

I've seen a lot of people taking the single nipper out for a jog and they seem to do fine with it
