Baby Jogger - Summit X3 Jogging Stroller

We have the baby jogger summit x3. Has suspension, air tyres, handbrake, front wheel lock and one-hand fold. I go jogging off-road with it every other day.

I have the X3, although my front wheel lock is on the wheel. I jog 4k round the park with baby every morning after breakfast. Suspension is really good over bumps. He usually falls asleep by 3k. We got it secondhand for €20 and it still runs great.

I got a secondhand summit x3 for €20 on our local marketplace. Looks like it has much bigger rear wheels and (crucially) a hand brake. I've never gone fast enough to need the handbrake but I'm guessing that's why it's not advertised for jogging.

It is definitely worth getting the clickable infant seat for easy transfers from car to stroller. You can't imagine the sleep deprivation yet, and you can't imagine the anxiety you will feel when you are trying not to wake a sleeping baby!! You want to be able to leave the house (for fun or for chores) and not feel like you are trapped at home. Being able to move the car seat from the car to the stroller helps with that because you don't necessarily have to work around your babies (unpredictable) nap times. I am really happy with my car seat + stroller setup, so I'll share what I have: I really love my Baby Jogger Summit X3!! Smooth one-handed steering, easy folding, good shock absorption alongside large air-filled tires, great on ice/slush or uneven ground! I got the Graco Snugride infant car seat and purchased "adapters" so that the car seat would click into the jogger. When my baby was 4 months old, I started using the seat that's built into the jogger, reclined all the way down, and that was a pretty flat surface that mimicked a bassinet attachment (so that I didn't need to buy that too).

I bought the cheapest crib I could find (still new, not used) and I'm happy with it. I think it's from Walmart. You don't know if you might end up bed sharing 😉 I love my stroller: Baby Jogger Summit X3! Smooth, one-handed steering, easy folding, good shock absorption, great for handling ice or uneven ground. It has a super big/long sun shade that still almost completes shades her body at 7 months old. I got the Graco Snugride infant car seat and purchased "adapters" so that the car seat would click into the jogger. When my baby was 4 months old, I started using the seat that's built into the jogger, reclined all the way down, and that was a pretty flat surface that mimicked a bassinet attachment so I didn't have to spend money on that.

I also felt overwhelmed about strollers, I did a lot of research, I refused to spend on the high end, and I ended up really happy. Stroller: Baby Jogger Summit X3 - large, air-filled tires that work great on ice, slush, gravel, and uneven sidewalks - Baby Jogger sells two different compatible bassinets BUT they seem difficult to find in Canada AND the stroller itself has a seat that reclines almost all the way down... So I've been using that seat instead of a bassinet since my baby was 3 months old (you should get one of those inserts that has a semicircle of padding around their head to stop their head from shaking around too much) - good amount of storage underneath, but not the most I've ever seen - sun shade is very large/long, the largest I've seen, almost completely covers baby down to their feet - straps are easy to open/close, and comfy for baby - easy to steer with one hand - easy to fold away, has a one-hand pull tab, but technically requires two hands because it's too heavy to lift in/out of your vehicle with one hand... When closing, one hand pulls the tab and the other hand holds the handle, then once it's folded, you lift it into your vehicle... When opening, one hand grabs the handle and the other hand grabs the tab, and you pull it out of your vehicle in a folded state... Midair you separate your arms and by the time one tire is on the ground, the stroller is mostly unfolded and then it clicks into place, fully opened. So it's easy, but it requires two hands Car Seat: Graco SnugRide 35 Lite LX - comes with a base you can secure to the seat of the car ... But it's not a 360 degree rotating base - easily clicks into base - easy to remove from base, but the car seat + baby get pretty heavy after a while, especially if you're keeping them in the middle back seat, so you have to be strong 💪 - compatible with the Baby Jogger Summit X3 but you have to buy the "Graco click connect" adapters: https://share.google/U0TxpTEAca7ePbmOd - I took it on flights and it survived gate check - while traveling, I secured it to various vehicles using the seatbelt instead of the base ... Was easy to do and felt very secure - overall nothing special, gets the job done - supports baby up to 32 inches or up to 35 pounds... this not accommodate a toddler and beyond, it might not even accommodate your infant once they reach those maximums. But I wouldn't worry about that and don't bother picking the next car seat ("grow with me" type) now, wait until after baby is born

I don't recommend NOT having a stroller. You cannot yet imagine the toll it will take on your body just to care for a baby postpartum, let alone be constantly carrying it everywhere you go. You will feel stifled and restricted. You want to have options, and a stroller gives you that. I also strongly recommend choosing a car seat and stroller that are compatible with each other so that you don't have to take the baby out of their car seat in order to use the stroller. Again, there are already so many restrictions and constraints that come with caring for a baby, you don't want to be forced to wake a sleeping baby because you can't just click the car seat into the stroller. Or WORSE, be forced to carry the car seat itself. I have a Baby Jogger Summit X3, it has large tires filled with air, and it is awesome on icy or rough terrain! I'm very happy with this stroller. I also have the Graco SnugRide 35 Lite LX Infant Car Seat. I bought adapters so that the car seat can be attached to the stroller. When you are researching strollers, make sure you look up which car seats they are compatible with and whether you need to purchase a set of adapters -- the manufacturer of the stroller will make this very clear. For context, I'm out and about pretty much everyday with my baby (almost 6 months old, born in February 2025, I'm also a FTM). I go to lots of baby & me things, I run errands like the grocery store, I go to parks, and I use a combination of the car seat, the stroller, and the carrier everywhere. If I didn't have these options, I would feel less inspired to leave the house, and personally that's not good for my mental health.

My kids are 7 and 8 and we literally just got down to only a wagon last week. I had 2 single joggers (my sister took 1 a few years ago) and she didn’t want my double. So my husband finally sold the remaining single and the double on his day off last week.

I had 4 at one point (kids are 14 months apart), 2 single joggers (we were training for a 10k as a couple), a double and a wagon. My kids are 7 and 8 now and we just have the wagon that one side comes down and becomes a bench. Plus our dog is getting up there and so she walks a couple blocks and catches a ride now haha.

Baby jogger summit is the best…. I live in a rough terrain area can push that thing through snow, gravel, mud and it’s light and easy to fold

I love my baby jogger x3 summit

We bought a caddy type stroller (babytrend snap & go) when our twins were first born. Really convenient and easy to take around. I waited until black friday to SPLURGEEEEE on not 1 but 2 babyjoggers 😅. Theyre 30% on black friday plus either amazon (15% off) or target (15% + 5% if using red card) completion discount. Getting 2 was only a bit more than getting 1 when not on sale. It worked in our favor bc they were born only a few months away from black friday. Ok we love both the babyjogger double strollers so I imagine the single versions would be amazing as well. The mini gt2 is so smooth and easy to take them shopping and around the city in. Also got the summit x3 because that is an actual jogging stroller (mini gt2 is not). I get such a good workout in with that one. Both worth the purchase and the wait. We still use the caddy as well for more tight places like the doctors office…will be using that one for as long as they fit in their infant carseat.

I have the baby jogger summit (2?). It’s a bit heavy tor regular loading and unloading but it is NICE to drive. Amazing suspension, very rugged (I’ve done full hikes with it and it just bounces off of tree roots), fantastic in sand, grass just feels like walkway. Bonus is that it is designed for running and comes with a break for going downhill.

Four… two doubles and two singles :) One stacked double for the car. A double jogger on the porch. A single jogger at my parents and a single travel stroller.

I have the Baby Jogger Summit x3 and have the car seat attachment. It also folds up for travel. It’s the only stroller I’ve ever had for three kids (11 yo, 9yo, and new one due to be born any day).

I have 4. A single that could fit a carseat and works for new baby with no neck control. A double that could fit a carseat and big sister. A single jogger once baby was 6 months old. And a double jogger once baby number 2 was 6 months old. You can totally get by with one.

Hope you can find something. Love my babyjogger otherwise. The summit version looks great. I can still fit my 3 year old in the baby jogger mini which is great.
