Looking for recommendations - easy to fold, suitable for running?

Hi there - pg with my first child so completely clueless about all of this.

I'm hoping to find a buggy that I can use regularly on public transport, esp buses, so is easy to fold. I also have a very small flat so the smaller the better!

But I also love running. I have seen people running in the parks with their buggies and wonder if it is possible to have the holy grail - an easily foldable, compact buggy that is suitable for running?

Or am I being ambitious, and have to choose one functionality over the other? If so, I would go for easy to fold, so any recommendations on that front would be very welcome.

Baby Joggers are the best fold out there, literally pull a strap on the seat and it flips closed.

There are a few models but for running you definitely need inflatable tyres and the bigger the better for serious running.

But if you want something that will do all then I'd suggest the Baby Jogger Elite as it is not huge open or folded, easy to use and has proper tyres :)

Thank you! That is an excellent recommendation! (I will start saving ...!)

But dont run until after your baby is 6 months old. There is some good advice on here about running with a child - I would have a search because helmets etc are advised for certain ages.
Also, you really need a more specialist running pushchair if you are serious - I wouldn't be choosing the Elite TBH - possibly the Summit or really the FIT. But there is better advice on here re running pushchairs than I can give you! Have a search!
