Baby Jogger Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How old should my baby be before they are able to sit in the seat of a Baby Jogger?
A. Our strollers and joggers can be used for children from approximately six months to five-years-old. We do not recommend placing your baby in the seat of the jogger until they are able to sit and hold their head up without assistance.

Q. How can I use your Baby Jogger strollers with an infant?
A. All single strollers have a car seat adaptor or bassinet/pram available to accommodate a newborn. Only our City Series and Summit 360 double strollers have a car seat adaptor. It is important to remember though, that newborns are more vulnerable to outside conditions and should be appropriately protected from the heat, cold and wind. Also, babies should have ample neck support-you can use a rolled up cloth diaper or any number of neck supports sold at baby stores or through the Baby Jogger website.

Q. Do you have a car seat adaptor for your Baby Jogger double strollers?
A. We have now developed a patented car seat adaptor for our City Series and Summit 360 double strollers. This new accessory solves the tipping issue often associated with this type accessory - making it the safest on the market. By placing our adaptor on a locking slide, an infant and a toddler can ride together by securing the car seat adaptor over one seat. If the toddler gets out, simply slide and lock the car seat adaptor in the center of the stroller to provide an equal weight distribution over the seats.

Q. What does the weight capacity of your stroller mean?
A. The weight capacity of Baby Jogger strollers includes the weight of the child or children, any items you are placing in the storage compartments and any accessories you are attaching. For example, if you are placing two 50 lb. children in a double stroller with a weight capacity of 100 lbs., you will exceed the weight capacity of the stroller by placing any items in the storage compartments or adding accessories. When using a double stroller, we recommend an even weight distribution on both sides of the stroller.

Q. What is an EVA wheel versus a Pneumatic Tire?
A. An EVA wheel is a lightweight molded plastic wheel that is ideal for pavement or smooth urban terrain. This wheel is available on our City Mini stroller, which helps to make it one of the most lightweight, compact strollers on the market.

A pneumatic tire is an inflatable rubber tire that provides a comfortable, smooth ride on many different terrains. With the exception of the City Mini, Baby Jogger strollers and joggers have pneumatic tires, which add to their all-terrain capabilities.

Q. Which wheel size is right for me?
A. We've devised the following guidelines so you can choose the right wheel size for your needs:

8" Wheel - Ideal for indoor strolls, walking on pavement or smooth urban terrain. These smaller lightweight wheels are perfect for city dwellers who need a compact stroller for every day use. Please view our City Mini stroller for this wheel size.
12" Wheel - Perfect for walking on grass, trails, sidewalks or in stores. Wonderful for city life where smaller wheels offer a more compact, maneuverable stroller.You will fall in love with the 12" stroller wheels if you have previously owned a conventional stroller. Please view our City Classic, City Elite or Summit 360 models for this wheel size.
16" Wheel - Our most popular wheel size due to its versatility.Great for walking or jogging and is still very easy to store and transport.It's large enough to handle snow and sand yet still small enough to fit into tight spaces. Please view our Summit 360 model for this wheel size.
20" Wheel - Serious runners adore this model!It's easy to maneuver and provides a very smooth ride for the child.This large wheel easily handles rough terrain. Please view our Performance Series and Switchback Hybrid trailer/jogger for this wheel size.

Q. Can I use the City Series line to run with?
A. The City Series line of strollers is not intended for jogging purposes. The City Series is a line of all-terrain strollers that give you optimum versatility for every day use.

Q. Do all of your strollers have a seat which fully reclines?
A. The City Series line of strollers and the Summit 360 models have a seat that reclines to a near flat position. Please note that the Summit 360's recline is for cruising purposes only. Please do not run or jog with the seat fully reclined.

Q. Do your strollers fold?
A. The City Series strollers, Summit 360 and the Switchback Hybrid Trailer/Jogger feature our patented Quick-Fold technology. Just pull the clearly marked "FOLD" handle and the stroller or jogger collapses into an easily loadable and storable unit. This is quite possibly the easiest fold on the market today.

Our Performance Series joggers have a quick-release locking mechanism that makes folding them a breeze. Remove the quick-release wheels and the jogger folds flat to fit into your closet or car trunk.

Q. Can I use a buggy board with your strollers?
A. Currently there is no place to attach a buggy board to the frame of our strollers.

Q. Is the fabric washable?
A. Yes, the seat and canopies of our strollers and joggers are made from strong, lightweight, washable fabrics which easily detach from the frame.The seat should be washed in cold water on the delicate cycle of your washing machine and attached back onto the stroller to dry.

Q. How much air should I put in my tires?
A. The PSI (pounds per square inch) will be in raised lettering on the side of the tire. You can use a standard bicycle pump to inflate your tires or you can purchase a baby jogger air pump that will clamp on to the frame of the stroller for quick inflation on the go.

Q. Is your stroller safe?
A. Yes! Safety comes first at The Baby Jogger Company. We test and retest our products to ensure that all our current strollers either meet or exceed ASTM and/or EN 1888 TUV testing standards for strollers and carriages. Remember, we are the original Baby Jogger Company and that means we have over 25 years of experience caring for your precious cargo.

Q. Are your strollers covered by a warranty?
A. Yes, we stand by our products here at the Baby Jogger Company.Our frames are backed by a lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects.The fabrics, wheels, tires and other components carry a one-year warranty. When calling in a warranty claim, please have your item number, serial number, manufacturer date stamp and proof of purchase on hand to expedite the process.

Q. What is the warranty if I live outside of the United States?
A. The warranty of your stroller or jogger is covered by the country in which you purchased it. If you purchased your Baby Jogger from a US retailer while living in another country, you are responsible for any shipping charges that may incur to fulfill a warranty claim.
