I've been into fitness, eating right and staying fit for a long time. I have numerous passions when it's coming to staying fit, but jogging and biking are the top two to be sure. This can lead to a difficult conundrum - jogging stroller or bike trailer?
Bike Trailers Are Lifestyle Machines
The great thing about trailers is that you can take more than one child with ease and you take them along way. Modern cycle trailers are stable and safe. Before the advent of that technology, people would sit their children in a plastic seat strapped onto the back of a bike. No more. Like great jogging strollers, child carriers for bikes have come a long way.
Both have numerous advantages. Most models of bike trailers have plenty of safety features such as five point harnesses and big wheels. The five point harness is especially important in a bike trailer, because the possibility of a quick stop from a relatively high speed is there.
Jogging Strollers Are Very Flexible
Jogging strollers also have a lot of advantages. They are designed for speed and rough terrain. They have lots of safety features and usually lots of comfort features for the kids also. This includes things like a canopy to protect from the sun, drink and snack holders for you and the kids and cargo holders.
So how does one decide? If you enjoy both activities but can't necessarily afford both then you have a choice to make.
You can't make it on price, they are generally priced about the same.
Features? No, they are generally both well featured for the money.
Selection? That won't work either, there's tons of different manufacturers of both types of strollers.
Jogging strollers are best suited to a person that might ordinarily run by themselves. That's why they tend to be popular with new Moms. During the day if Mom wants to exercise, but doesn't want to hit the gym, jogging is the answer. Odds are, you are going to take your whole family jogging!
On the other hand, if your choice of exercise tends to be more family related activities then a bike trailer might be better for you. If you tend to walk or hike with your kids and family, or generally do things as a family group, then the bike trailer is the right choice.
It's hard to go wrong with either choice. Both will serve you for a long time. Both are safe, a lot of fun and will help keep you fit. The important thing is that you keep moving and keep fit.
