The very first jogging stroller was introduced in the early 1980′s by Phil Baegner, co-founder of the Baby Jogger. Phil was a jogging fanatic who loved to take his first born with him on a run. However, he soon realized that a regular carriage compromised his son’s safety. So he designed and developed the first jogging stroller that would be safe and comfortable for his baby.
If you are considering the purchase of a jogging stroller, you can expect to pay anywhere from $100.00 to $300.00 depending on the quality and features of the unit. All jogging strollers require a 16″ fixed front wheel, which provides the jogger with additional control over uneven areas and/or bumps on their route. In addition, it allows for greater ease when traveling over curbs and other similar surfaces.
With a jogging stroller, you can be assured that your baby is comfortable and enjoying a smooth ride all the way. This stroller has built in shock absorbers that promote a smooth ride for you and your child. It also usually comes with adjustable handle bars so it is suitable for short or tall parents. It is recommended, however, that your child use a help when he or she joins you in your jogging or running routine. And purchase a jogging stroller that has a declinable seat where your baby can sleep comfortably.
Aside from a jogging stroller, I’m pretty sure you are looking for the best car seat for your child, too, especially if you are a new parent. You should know by now that a car seat is not considered a luxury but a necessity if you have a baby. In fact, it is required by law. For young infants, your baby’s car seat should be installed in the backseat facing the rear of your car.
Some parents find installing a car seat for the very first time is not as easy as they presumed. If you find yourself in the same predicament, it would be wise to ask help from your neighborhood car dealership. This would be the only way to make sure that your baby’s car seat is properly installed and efficiently secured in place.
Car seat use can differ in terms of the age and weight of the child using it. For instance, rear-facing models are often recommended for newborns until 1 year of age. Its allowable weighing capacity is about 20 lbs. When rear-facing models are used, the advisable maximum height allowance of babies using it must be one inch from the top part of the unit being used. A forward facing unit on the other hand is best used by older children usually aged 4 years or more.
You will need to make sure that the particular car seat that you purchase has not been involved in a recall by visiting the manufacturer’s website. If you already own a car seat and learn that it has been involved in a recall, stop using the product immediately and call the manufacturer for further instructions on how to handle the repair, replacement or refund of the product.
