Running buggy suitable from birth

[MrsChrisPratt]

Has anyone bought one? Would you recommend?

My wish list:

Running buggy
Suitable from birth to walking
All terrain
Durable
Maybe convertible to a double, but not essential
Will be stored in back of my car which will be a 4x4 so size not an issue
Not fussed on clickable car seat etc (maybe naive, feel free to try to change my mind!)
Some storage basket or something , but maybe removable would be good for cross country terrain?

Budget wise, not really thought about it, happy to go second hand if sensible....

Advice and suggestions much appreciated!

At the moment I'm really enjoying running on my own, it is pretty much the only time I get to myself when I don't have a newborn attached to me, do maybe waiting nine months isn't such a bad thing!

Although, once I can run with baby I can at least run in the daytime during the week instead of waiting till dh us home in the evening.

I was amazed at how easily I picked up my running speed now I'm not pregnant too!

I think six months is ok if you are jogging on tarmac/paved surfaces (I just did my local parkrun at that stage which is all tarmac) and not going hell-for-leather. In that situation baby is unlikely to get any more jostled than it would if you were walking quickly. I would wait til nine-months if you are going off-road.

The Out n About is quite long and I find it a bit unweildy in shops and things so I wouldn't have had it as my only pram.

Thanks everyone, I will use it as an excuse to postpone a bit longer, even though I run extraordinarily slowly! You're right that it would be better to try to get time to run on my own, but I hate running in the dark.
I agree that it's not a great buggy for shopping, especially given the fixed front wheel. It folds up well though so it could be a second buggy for the car.

Good tip on the liners too Art

If number of prams is the issue rather than money, you could buy any old bugaboo and then buy the running chassis once the baby is 6mths?

Yes the bugaboo runner is good for that. You could buy the bugaboo bee for example to have a compact small pram for the shops and town, and then the bee seats lifts off and fits the runner frame.

Sorry - I thought the bugaboo bee seat didn't fit the runner chassis?

Yes the runner fits the chameleon, bee and buffalo seats.

Ok this thread has slightly terrified me, I have a jiggly pram and I've been taking DD for long walks in it since birth (helps her to nap). I haven't been giving her very very mild concussion have I?

I haven't actually been running with her, except once for the bus, but it's definitely not a completely smooth ride!

Bugger! We were told the bee didn't fit - how irritating as we bought the much bigger cam 3 as a result!
