My husband might want a jogging stroller for father's day so he can take our 16 month old with him when he goes for a run. Can you recommend one in the $100-200 range? Maybe something is on sale at Albee Baby for that price? TIA!

I really like my Tike Tech ATX, which I bought for under $200. As an added plus, it does great in sand, snow, and ice - in fact, it is my stroller of choice during the winter months. I would recommend buying an add-on sunshade (like the RayShade) though - the canopy is not so great.

I posted a review of this stroller in the reviews section if you want to check out more.

I really love my Quinny freestyle... it's an English jogger and I like the tilt front wheel on it. I love this stroller - I believe it is $130. It has a good sun canopy - you can unzip it and it will stand wherever you need it to - even all the way in front. It is pretty comfy and seems more padded than most joggers... Here is a link to it!

Quinny used to be a Dutch company, but is now owned by the Dorel Juvenile Group. The stroller itself is made in China. There are several other models of it sold in Europe under different names. Hope this clears up any confusion on the country of origin--it's getting so hard to tell these days! That said, I agree it is a very nice stroller for the money.

If he wants to run though he will need at least a 16" tires.... the 12" won't cut it! Wasn't there a Q series Baby Jogger for a really good price somewhere recently? I wonder if it had the 16 inch wheels???

You might want to check ebay for a good deal on a Dreamer Design, Baby Jogger, BOB

this one is under 200 dollare and seems to get a good review here

Thanks all! I ended up ordering a Chariot Cougar I from Rei Outlet on sale. It just seemed like a better investment to make, since we need a bike trailer too. I can't wait to get it!
