Not planning on sprinting obvs.... but could I jog on tarmac with it? Or do I need proper running buggy?

How old is your baby? The recommendation is not to run with a baby younger than 6 months.

Running buggies have good suspension, proper tyres, a break on the handle bar and a fixed front wheel. The fixed wheel is really important, as you will probably find out. I don't know the Uppababy, but some 3 wheel buggies do allow the front wheel to be fixed.

Personally, I would only run with a properly designed buggy but if you did try with yours, make sure it's on flat, even ground.

Yes, you can. Speaking from personal experience they are sturdy machines. I still use mine 3 times a week for a run (sometimes 7K) with my 4-year-old.
