All-terrain jogging strollers
Bob Revolution SE vs. Baby Trend Expedition Jogger vs. Jeep Overland Jogging Stroller
Choosing a stroller can be overwhelming. Some people become stroller collectors, with a different stroller to suit every purpose. People who lack the storage space or funds to amass a collection are often looking for the Holy Grail: one stroller that does it all. All terrain joggers come close to fitting the bill. These three-wheeled utility strollers are great for hitting the trail, cruising the farmers' market, or training for a 5k. Each feature set is a bit different, so read on to find out which one is right for your family.
Bob Revolution SE
If you walk or run, chances are you’re already familiar with the Bob Revolution. The ubiquitous stroller beloved by fit parents everywhere is the lightest of the bunch, but that that doesn’t mean it’s flimsy. Its maximum weight capacity is 70 pounds. With a carseat adapter (at an additional cost of $55) the Bob can be your stroller from birth through elementary school. While it’s not the best dedicated jogger, the Bob Revolution is a versatile stroller. And if you change your mind, it has great resale value! That’s why, despite its hefty price tag, the Bob is our top pick.

Baby Trend Expedition Jogger
The Baby Trend Expedition Jogger is an outstanding value. It’s also the only jogger that is sold as part of a travel system – it accommodates Baby Trend carseats without a separate adapter using the same mechanism as the popular Snap ‘n’ Go stroller frame. If you’re looking for a jogger that you can use from birth, the Baby Jogger is a great choice. However, it’s bulky and heavy so you may not want to lug it in and out of the car for quick trips to the mall. If you’re looking for a stroller that has all-terrain capability but aren’t quite ready to invest in a Bob, the Baby Jogger is a solid choice.
Features
- Weight: 27 pounds
- Product folded size: 33 inches
- Capacity : 50 pounds
- Wheels: Air filled bicycle tires, front swivel wheel is lockable, 12” diameter, rear wheels are 16” diameter
Extras: Travel system capability

Jeep Overland Jogging Stroller
Of the three strollers, The Jeep Overland is the closest to a true jogger. It has 16” wheels with a fixed front wheel, making turns harder but running easier. The Jeep also has some perks just for Mom or Dad: an iPod-compatible ibaby sound system with speakers, an odometer, and an adjustable handle. However, the Jeep does not accommodate a carseat adapter, so you’ll need to wait to use it until your child can sit up independently. Its capacity maxes out at 50 pounds. If you want a jogger primarily for jogging, the Jeep is a good choice.
Features
- Weight: 27 pounds
- Folded dimensions: 21.5" x 37.5" x 36.5"
- Capacity: 45 pounds
- Wheels: 16 inch airfilled tires in front and rear. Front wheel is fixed.
Extras: ibaby sound system, hand brake, adjustable handle, built-in odometer
