Ironman

A model with a permanently fixed front wheel (like the Thule Glide or Bob Ironman) would be a bit annoying for day-to-day use. But any model with a wheel that can swivel and be locked as needed for jogging (most models) would be fine. A bit bulky for going in stores and whatnot, but no worse than those giant wagon strollers that seem popular these days.

I'd suggest a used Bob - in my area they are available quite cheap, under $100, and they are super solid.  Mine is from 2011 and other than a minor tear in the basket, has zero issues.

I started running again about 3-4 months PP with my oldest and have since done 3 races with her (she’s 15 months now) - we have an older style BOB I got off marketplace for $40, as I didn’t want to go all in at first until I knew if I would use it often. I kept running through my current pregnancy until about 32 weeks (I’m 37 now!) and my final run was with her in the BOB. We got a double this pregnancy so I can keep it going with both of them once I feel healed enough to run again!

I was given a single BOB and enjoy it for the most part so thats what we are sticking with for now. Do you (or anyone) know of any universal or offbrand snack trays that are compatible? Trying not to dish out $60 for the one from the brand

I owned both a BOB single and a Thule double jogging stroller, and honestly, the Thule was the best stroller I ever had. I’ll admit, I was a total stroller snob. We had an Uppababy, Baby Jogger, BOB, Mountain Buggy, Chicco, and Thule, and the Thule was hands down superior to all of them. I could literally push it with one finger. The best part was that when my kids finally outgrew it, I was able to sell it on Marketplace for about 75% of what I originally paid. It held its value incredibly well and still looked almost brand new.

The Chicco was our first stroller and I didn’t really know what made a stroller better in terms of push. I bought a BOB second hand and it was ok, but I truly didn’t think it was anything special. When I found out I was pregnant with my second we got the Uppababy Vista, which was smooth but so bulky. I sold that one and got a Baby Jogger City Select which I loved for daily use. Around this time I also got a Baby Jogger City Mini for travel and for quick trips to the mall or zoo as my youngest preferred baby wearing. I also had a Mountain Buggy Nano for traveling because it was so lightweight and compact. Once my youngest was old enough to take in a jogging stroller, we got the Thule Urban Glide.

I have the BOB with addon Velcro attachments for water + junk and it's an excellent product. I'm 6 ft and I think the adjustable/tilt handle is well designed and comfortable. The adjustable sun shade for kiddo is nice with a clear plastic window to be able to check in on them periodically without breaking your stride. The thing is very well built and sturdy. It's definitely a "buy it for life" quality product that you should be able to pass on to someone else after your family has outgrown it. My only issue with it is that when it's folded down it still takes a lot of space in your car. We have left it at home every time we went camping because trunk space is more important.
