is there such a thing as a 'jogging' buggy???

[Heathcliffscathy]

that either dh or I could run with whilst ds was in it??? does it exist? i thought i'd seen a dad running with one...

anyone?

There are a number - the one we had was a 3 wheeler, the Chicco Baby Habitat Runner, look for one with pneumatic tyresp, easily removable wheels, a bell and a handbrake. (Got one for sale if you're anywhere near Birmingham!)

i'm not wigwam...but thanks for the offer...any one else got advice on this?

Yes you can but you need one with large pneumatic wheels and a handbrake. Something along these lines but there are several differnet bramds ot choose from.

I don't know if this thread might help.

Or this one

I have a MAC 3 and did truly use it for running. You need a fixed front wheel or you will be all over the place on a bum/rock in the road. The MAC 3 has been a bit iffy on the durability. However, it was literally half the price of the one I wanted, and so I figured if I really beat it up, I could just buy another and still pay less than the other one.

Another nice thing about the MAC 3 (which I didn't notice until after I bought it) is that the shape of the back where the basket is leaves enough space for your running feet... a very smart designer! A lot of three wheelers have the basket straight across and a true running stride of mummy/daddy will trip on it.

The bad points are that the brake only slows it, could never be relied upon for a sudden stop. And, the strap is too big for DD, leaving her enough room to lunge quite far forward.

I think the handbrake is really only there to slow not stop on all of them, plus you may want to consider a wrist strap especially if you run down hills as that gives a bit more security than handle bar alone. We bought a length of strap and velcro designed for climbing from a Sports shop.
