My 20mo autistic son will only tolerate being in a stroller if we are outside (as opposed to a mall), the stroller is constantly moving, he has his bottle (which he can only drink if he's reclined), and he has a snack tray. I've been using my P3 for our daily walks but I'd like to step up my workout by starting to jog. I've never jogged before so I suspect that I'll mostly be walking with a bit of jogging thrown in. So far jogging with my P3 is uncomfortable for me (as I already kick the wheels when walking, even with the handlebars extended) so I'd like to get a jogging stroller. The only two I've found online that have a snack tray and a reclining seat are the Baby Trend Expedition LX Jogger and the Kolcraft Overland Limited Jogging Stroller.

So far I can't tell the difference between the two. I can only use the computer when my son is napping and I usually spend that time researching autism treatment. I'm hoping that someone who has done more research on jogging strollers can give me a quick lowdown and help me make an educated choice.

Thank you so much in advance!

I have an Instep Safari TT that has both a reclining seat and a snack tray. It does have a locking front swivel wheel, however. DH jogs lightly with it and says it works just fine, though. I bought it last summer for around $120 shipped.
