The Best Jogging Strollers of 2023

The Graco Modes Jogger 2.0 Stroller gives you seven ways to ride, plus everything you need to jog. This jogger checks off all the points someone would want in a jogging stroller: large air-filled rubber tires, a safety tether, a large UV50 canopy, and ample storage. Parents will love the handy organizer that’s included with the stroller and children will love the child tray and cup holders for themselves. Priced at $233, it’s a reasonable option for someone looking for a stroller that can go above and beyond the qualities of an everyday stroller.

Right off the bat, one of the best features of this stroller is the fact the seat can be reversed so you can choose if your child is facing inward or outward. This is a useful feature for someone using it with a baby when you want to keep a watchful eye on them. Out of all the joggers I tested, the Graco was the only one with this feature and it was very impressive.

It has adjustable calf support to make sure your little rider is sitting comfortably. I found my son to be comfortable with each use and it was an enjoyable experience for myself as well. It’s easy to maneuver and turns on a dime.

The stroller accepts children up to 50 pounds, so it's truly a stroller you can use for years. Another feature I love is the parent’s tray that comes with a cup holder and smartphone storage. I was able to have my phone sit securely on top of the tray, which was so useful. There is also an extra-large storage basket so you can make sure you are taking all the essentials on your walks.

As for negatives, some of our walks seemed a bit bumpy, so it’s not a stroller I would use if you are planning to go running through trails. While the stroller has so many uses that I appreciate, it did feel bulky when storing it and lifting it in and out of the trunk. Lastly, it only accepts Graco car seats, which is limiting if you do not have this brand. Overall, the Graco Modes 2.0 is a fantastic option for someone looking for a jogging stroller that is reasonable, versatile, and compatible with a Graco car seat.

Car seats and accessories: The stroller accepts all Graco infant car seats for a one-step, secure connection of infant car seat to stroller.

The Chicco Tre Jogging Stroller was designed to keep up with fast-paced families. Fitting in the more reasonably priced category at $379, it has a lightweight aluminum frame, sleek three-wheel design and a deceleration handbrake. Whether you are going for a stroll or a run, its 16-inch pneumatic rear tires and dual FlexCore suspension adjusts for any type of terrain. The stroller features a full coverage extendable canopy, tinted peek-a-boo window, multi-position reclining seat, and an adjustable five-point harness for a comfortable and secure environment for your baby's earliest adventures.

One thing I liked about the Tre is how it features three fold configurations: self-standing for the garage, flat for the trunk, and compact for storage. With a convenient one-hand fold, you are able to either close the stroller and have it stand, which is perfect for storing in your garage; fold down the front swivel wheel to create a flat fold for the trunk; or remove the wheels in one quick motion for long term storage.

Another feature I loved is the exclusive Control Console with hand-operated functionality that’s easy to access as you are using it. From the console, you are able to lock/unlock the front swivel wheel. There is also a deceleration brake that doubles as a fixed brake for parking. While I liked this feature, I am so familiar with a foot brake that at some points it threw me off. It also comes with a soft parent tray with two cup holders and a large storage basket, which was so convenient for holding my phone, keys, and snacks for my kids.

When your child is 6 months and over, they can sit in the regular seat, which features a five-point harness, multi-position backrest, and waterproof fabrics that help create a comfortable and secure environment. I was impressed by the ample amount of coverage the canopy provides. It has a zippered extension panel and a flippable mesh vent with a tinted window to take a peek at your child.

As for cons, I felt it couldn’t handle some of the rougher terrains compared to some of the other strollers I tested. I also found that it was a little bulky when moving it in and out of my trunk. Overall, it’s a great jogging stroller for an active family who is looking for something more durable than an urban stroller while also not breaking the bank.

Car seats and accessories: The Tre accepts all Chicco infant car seats (sold separately) and features a removable stroller seat to create a lightweight KeyFit car seat carrier for strolling with baby during the first 6 months.

For those who love Jeep strollers, I highly recommend checking out the Jeep Hydro Jogger. This stroller is versatile and allows parents an enjoyable running experience with its swivel front wheel and back-wheel suspension that smooths out the bumps to provide a comfortable ride for your child. Right off the bat, one of my favorite things about the stroller is the adjustable and comfortable handlebar and fabric parent organizer with two cup holders and covered storage to keep your keys and phone within easy reach. The stroller also has an oversized and adjustable UPF 50+ sun canopy with a peekaboo window and is water-repellant which is a bonus.

I took this stroller out on a trip to Block Island and it passed every test on different trains: up and down from the ferry, traveling through town on sidewalks, and on the beach. Its 5-point harness with reflective shoulder pads make it very safe to use for your child and it comes with a jogging tether strap to offer extra control. I love how you can easily recline the seat if your child wishes to nap, and it also comes with a snack tray in case your child would like a snack. The handlebar is adjustable to multiple height positions which was a bonus.

As for the cons, this stroller has a small storage basket underneath and can’t fit as much as I would like, but that is typical with a lot of jogging strollers. I found it a bit heavy to fold and it took up more room in my trunk than I hoped it would. The child snack tray is a great feature but I wished it had a cup holder.

Car seats and accessories: The Jeep Hydro Jogger includes a car seat adapter and fits a variety of car seats, including Graco, Evenflo, Chicco, and Britax.

For someone in the market for a reasonably priced jogging stroller that gives you a lot of bang for your buck, check out the Baby Trend Expedition Stroller. This stroller was the most reasonably priced of all the strollers I tested at just over $100. This stroller features large bicycle tires and a front swivel wheel that can be unlocked for low speed maneuvering or locked into place for jogging. If you’re in the market for a stroller that can handle rough terrain, but you don’t want to pay a hefty price tag, this one may be the one for you.

As for features, the Baby Trend Expedition Jogger has a parent tray with two cup holders and covered storage compartment and an extra-wide ergonomically shaped rubber grip for comfortable handling. Not many joggers include a child tray, but this jogger includes a tray with two cup holders to keep beverages and snacks handy. As for securing your child in the stroller, it has a five-point harness and a rotating canopy with a visor that can be adjusted to shield your child from the sun. Of all the strollers I tested, I was a bit disappointed with how far the canopy extended compared to others. While it does have an under storage basket, I wished it was a little bit bigger to hold all my belongings.

I appreciated how easy the stroller folds with a trigger release into a compact fold for easy storage and transport. One small feature that I really liked is the footrest reflectors, which increase visibility when using it in limited light. While I enjoyed using it while out and about, I did notice it didn’t handle rough terrains like the beach or a trail as much as I would have hoped. Overall, Baby Trend Expedition is a great option for someone looking for a lightweight jogging stroller at a reasonable price.
