Any recommendations for a running stroller?

we have an in-step 'run around jogger.'  its been great!  a great value!  look for wheel size, weight/simplicity, and durability.  you don't need to pay well north of $100 for one.

good luck

I don't know much about BOB, but can highly recommend Baby Jogger. 

My wife is a lifelong runner that runs 40+/wk.  She has the single passenger Baby Jogger with 20" wheels (the bigger wheels are worth the extra cost).  She used it daily (~6 miles running plus 2-3 miles walking) for about two years with our first child and loved it (as did our son!).  We bought a two passenger Baby Jogger after our second son was born, and my wife used it a similar amount for three years.  Very happy with it also.  Both joggers are still in great shape.

Baby Jogger has also been easy to deal with.  One of the wheels on the double got bent.  We called them up and they quickly sent us a replacement wheel with no questions asked (was still under warranty).

One last comment.  She fell while running with the single once and the jogger flipped completely over and came to rest upside down.  Our 6 mo old inside was held snuggly in place by the 5 pt harness and was unharmed.

My husband bought us a BOB when my oldest child was a few months old.  That stroller went in my car, to the park and around town on a daily basis.  It has lasted through the second child with no problems. 

I highly recommend the BOB.  While my buddies had to rig their running strollers to try to keep the sun out of their baby's eyes, my BOB's shade simply folded down.  It also works well to keep rain and wind off.  A breeze to run with.

I have used the Joggeroo 16 by Baby Jogger. It is collapsible. If you like to travel with one and have limited space this is a great choice. If you use it for running from home I think there are better ones to choose from.

 I have pictures on this web page if you simply want to see what one looks like. I am selling it.

Even x-country ski conversions, etc.

I've seen the Valco and seriously doubt that it can handle what the BOB can handle.  The BOB is a monster, especially when training for triathlons.  I can use my BOB on the beach with no problems and i've yet to see another runner hitting the beach pushing a stroller.  Also, looks can be deceiving, my kids sleep like rocks in the BOB while running, walking, or even standing still.

We have a Baby Jogger with the 20" wheels.  It is really easy to push and works well in sand, tall grass, etc.  My wife and I have used through two children and really love it.  I am sure either will work well.  Good luck and enjoy the children!

x2 on the InStep.  We had a 10K single, a double AND a bike trailer.  All were superior design, lightweight, strong and lasted many years with no problems.  I bought them all on eBay for half the retail price.  The double stroller which I bought for about a hundred, we actually just resold for $25 after 4 years of use.  Not bad.

I would recommend InStep above and beyond most anything else.
