It also includes a wrist strap for safety and a simple ‘twist to activate’ handbrake that feels really intuitive to use. That said, if you wish to run with a younger child, some strollers are compatible with bassinets and car seats, although these are usually sold separately at an additional cost.

There’s also a rain cover supplied as standard, and this just slides over the top of the hood with an elasticated hem. With an ergonomic three-wheeled design that is larger and somewhat more robust than your average stroller, they can keep your baby safe and comfortable even when pushed at speed. The Baby Jogger Summit was designed in 2022 in partnership with the super fit fitness instructor Robin Arzón, whose influence can be seen everywhere from the gold grid print lining to the plush gold trims on the large back wheels.

My son and I really enjoyed testing the running buggy out and when I say he loved sitting it, there was no getting him out of it – even when we were back at home.

Folding the Runner is simple: pull up the two finger latches and it folds in half with a firm downward shove. If you’re looking for a buggy that is solely for running and is going to really go the distance, this is one of the best choices available. As I had a standard bicycle repair kit to hand, it wasn’t particularly tricky to fix a slow puncture in the front tyre. A running buggy has three or four wheels; the front wheels should also be lockable with added suspension and air-filled tyres.The upside of that is that it’s rated up to a maximum carrying weight of 25kg – most strollers top out around 15kg. Are you running around smooth streets and paths in your local park, or heading out on more rural countryside terrain? Open up the Runner’s sizeable box and it’s refreshing to find that there’s precious little assembly required. The handlebar height however is non adjustable, which is something to bear in mind if you are particularly petite, tall, or sharing this stroller with a partner. Press the two large plastic buttons on each side, and the handlebars swivel up and down, locking into place when you release the buttons.
