My wife was looking for a stroller she could use that would allow her to get back out running. I did some searching around and settled on this one because it fit our budget the best. Let me tell you though, it was perfect for her. It could handle her runs, even the trail jogs she occasionally does. The shoulder straps kept our daughter safe, and the space under allowed for a small diaper bag in case of accidents or park stops. An all around great stroller!
