The Best Jogging Strollers Under $200

If you've ever tried to get toddlers to sit still while you work out with an exercise video, you know how difficult it is to stay in shape with children in the house. Some gyms have playrooms for children while parents use the facility, but many new parents aren't comfortable with leaving their children alone. When you just have to get out and go for a run, having a jogging stroller makes things much easier. When choosing a jogging stroller, several things must be taken into account. First, the tires. Are the rollers suitable for jogging? What types of terrain can they handle? Will they stay straight no matter how slow or fast you are moving. Next is the seat. Is it firmly attached to the frame of the stroller? Does it provide compensation for the jarring motion while jogging? Your child's comfort is important when out for a morning run, and you'll want to know that your child is having as much fun as you are.

These are my top four jogging strollers for parents who are always on the go.

1. Expedition LE Jogging Travel System by BabyTrend

This is a great stroller for new parents with infants. The Expedition is one of the only jogging strollers that has a seat for infants and newborns with a lock-and-latch system that ensures safety for your child. The jogger folds into a surprisingly small package for easy transport and storage, and the fabric is easily detached for cleaning. It has a generous area underneath the seat for storing bottles, toys, water or any number of other necessities. One of the largest selling points is a plastic window on the top of the hood so that parents can check on their children without having to pause in their jogging.
