Expectant parents who take a lot of pleasure from being active and getting out of doors as much as possible will appreciate having a quality stroller that can give them the option of taking the baby along on their outings. For those new parents who want a lightweight stroller that is also built to handle jogging and other outdoor pursuits, the Baby Jogger City Series of strollers can give them some wonderful options.

The Baby Jogger strollers are perfect for the mom or dad who wants to do some serious jogging while taking the baby on a bit of an outing. One of the things that all of the Baby Jogger models have is an excellent mechanism that allows it to turn easily and corner well while remaining stable so that the baby is always safe, secure and comfortable.

The Baby Jogger Company, which manufactures, distributes and markets the Baby Jogger City Series of strollers, was started by a newspaper journalist, Phil Baechler. When his child was young, Baechler used to enjoy jogging and taking the baby along, pushing the stroller as he ran. It didn't take long before he realized that he needed a different kind of "vehicle" for this kind of outing.

As a result, Baechler began working up ideas for way to modify the standard, traditional stroller and make it into something that would work better for his needs. Eventually, he ended up designing a new breed of stroller that had the right function, feel and maneuverability that made it perfect for jogging. He called his new, baby trend creation the "Baby Jogger."

The original Baby Jogger stroller was a bit hit almost immediately and soon the company followed up with an expanded model called "The Twinner," which is a double stroller, designed to accommodate two children. These jogging strollers became popular because they were very convenient to use anywhere, in just about any situation, not just for jogging.

One of the things that have set apart the Baby Jogger strollers is how easily they can be turned. All of the models of baby joggers from this innovative company are able to make easy and tight turns in stores, sidewalks, or any other location where the parent might find themselves with their youngster. It is the 6" swivel wheel in the front and the 12" wheels in the rear that help to make the Baby Jogger models so easy to navigate, even in crowded conditions.

Another innovation that is a feature of the Baby Jogger strollers is an optional conversion kit for the front wheels. With this kit, the parent can quickly and easily transform the 4-wheeled stroller into a 3-wheeled model when needed, which provides even more maneuverability and allows the parent to negotiate turns even better.

Parents seem to be enamored of the Baby Jogger City Series because of how easy it is to push, steer and collapse. Some parents do report that it is on the heavy side, but that is also a benefit because you can hang a heavy shopping bag, diaper bag, or purse from the back of it and there's no concern about it tipping over. Another feature parents like is the sun cover that extends to protect the baby's delicate skin from the sun.
