My son is almost 3yr old and I'm looking to get a jogging stroller. I'd like any advice on name brand/model. Some things I'm looking for are: comfort/ability to lay back so he can fall asleep in it if necessary, sturdy yet small wheels (dont like those huge wheels like the ones on schwinn's), large cover for sun protection, easy fold-up feature and a large undercarriage storage area. Thanks in advance! p.s. If anyone in the Las Vegas/Pahrump area is looking to sell one, I'd be happy to take a look. I'm looking for one in either blue/gray/blackimprove golf swing

I have the Bob Revolution, which I love, but it does have some downs sides (folding it up in cumbersome). Things to look for:

1. Light glide — my jogging stroller (Bob Revolution) is has a super smooth glide. It’s incredibly light when you push it, which makes it easier to jog with (not that i jog with it, but I do walk/hike).
2. Strong construction — you want something really well made.
3. Storage area under the seat
4. Cup holders
5. Sun shade
6. weather/rain resistant material
7. Ease of folding — some of the jogging strollers are super heavy and a pain in the butt to fold up (this is the one downside of the Bob in my opinion). Make sure to test it before you buy it, and make sure it fits in your trunk before you buy it because these strollers are huge!!

*addition: 1) I meant I would not go anywhere without the safety of my car night or day…and also never in my life have I been a “scaredy” cat I have always prided (humbly) myself with the courage I have been instilled with, it is just that were we live is crime-ridden.

Goodness…after reading your blog as well as Naturally Frugal I am so inspired to change so many things in my life…however being a military spouse and having to live in a town that I am frighten of and refuse to go out after dark let alone without the safety of my car I am sad that I cannot do the same…instead of nice walks and park days with my girls I am forced to be inside…although your ideas and lifesytle give me something to look forward to for our future..

@Sense – Thanks! Your comment made me laugh, because right now my kitchen looks like a “before” picture from a cleaning company ad. I am far from having it all together! But thanks for the vote of confidence

You are awesome. I read your blog daily, and I think I’m about your age but my life is chaos in comparison!

You seem to have everything SO TOGETHER, and are able to do it in a way that also saves money and the Earth a little bit. I definitely aspire to do the same one day!

@Lolgator – tied her to a bench outside the store. This particular WF has a great secluded spot out front with benches and picnic tables and bushes all around. I often see dogs there, but it was the first time I’d taken my own dog.

What did you do with the dog while you were in the store?
