Beautiful Bambinos guide to running & jogging pushchairs

Running is a great way to stay fit, relieve stress, and enjoy the outdoors. If you're a parent, you might think your running days are on hold until your child is older. But with a running pushchair, you can combine your fitness routine with quality time with your little one. Here’s a guide to help you get started and make the most of your runs with a pushchair.

Most baby buggies are designed to be used while walking but if you want to go a bit faster it’s best to wait until your little one is aged from six to nine months and is able to hold their head up comfortably.

• Fixed Front Wheel: A fixed wheel offers more stability at higher speeds,  reducing the risk of wobbles and accidents.  Jogging pushchairs typically have three large, air-filled tires that are designed to absorb shocks and provide a smooth ride on uneven terrain.

• Suspension System: Good suspension ensures a smoother ride for your child, absorbing bumps and uneven terrain.

• Adjustable Handlebar: A handlebar that adjusts to your height allows for a more comfortable running posture.

• Safety Harness: A five-point harness keeps your child securely in place.

• Brakes: Hand brakes offer better control, especially when running downhill.

Some popular jogging pushchairs on the market include the Cybex Avi Spin, Baby Jogger Summit X3 and the UPPAbaby Ridge.

Running buggies are brilliant for country walks and park adventures, too, thanks to their tougher tyres. Shop Beautiful Bambinos selection of running buggies now.
