Baby Jogger

Baby Jogger

Baby Jogger was founded in 1984 by Phil Baechler, an avid runner who built the first jogging stroller so becoming a parent wouldn't mean giving up his passion for running. Now part of Newell Brands (the same parent company as Graco), the brand remains best known for performance-oriented strollers built for running, hiking, and rough terrain.

About the Brand

About Baby Jogger

Baby Jogger's origin story is unusually specific: the brand exists because one runner wanted to keep training after having a child, and couldn't find a stroller built for it. That single-minded focus on performance has stayed at the center of the brand ever since, even as its lineup has expanded to include everyday and travel strollers.

Where many stroller brands optimize for shopping trips and city sidewalks, Baby Jogger's strongest products are still built around large air-filled tires, all-wheel suspension, and frames tough enough to handle trails, gravel, and genuine outdoor use — backed by a lifetime frame warranty that reflects real confidence in that durability.

Our Verdict

Is Baby Jogger Worth It?

Our overall take on the brand, weighing strengths against trade-offs across every product we've tested.
7.9
Very Good
Bottom LineBaby Jogger is the clear pick for parents who actually run, hike, or spend serious time outdoors, and its City Tour 2 makes it a solid choice for travel too. Families who want one do-it-all everyday stroller may still be better served by a full-size brand like UPPAbaby.
Strengths
  • Excellent stability and ride quality on rough terrain
  • Industry-leading lifetime frame warranty
  • High child weight capacities extend usable lifespan
  • Lineup covers both serious jogging strollers and genuinely light travel strollers
Weaknesses
  • Jogging models are larger and heavier than everyday strollers
  • Travel models give up ride quality once you leave the pavement
  • Premium jogging-stroller price faces strong competition
