Running with a buggy: our favourite running buggies 2024

This sleek all-terrain jogging pushchair has a lightweight design with large 16” wheels, suspension for comfort and control and a swivel front wheel for strolling and manoeuvring around town, which easily locks in place for jogging or rougher terrain. The integrated twist-hand brake ensures security and braking control on any hilly terrain and while running. We love the one-handed, compact fold which makes storing and transporting a doddle.

The wide spacing between the front and back air-filled tyres gives the Out ‘n’ About Nipper Sport extra stability on all terrains. And it might be just us, but the aerodynamic design seems to give us extra speed on those sprints. It also comes with a rain cover and quilted seat liner.

If you're looking for a low cost, basic buggy that you can rely on during your morning run, this one from Hauck Runner Stroller is for you. With all the amenities you'd expect from a pushchair including air-filled front and rear tyres, sun visor and waterproof awning, this is perfect for new mums experimenting with combining exercise and parenting. It helps that it's a compact design too!

One parent said: "Honestly better than expected. The wheels are huge and air filled so you can go over rough ground alright (within reason). Comes with a little warning label that says "Do not run with this pram". Despite that, it works well for jogging, speed walking and marathon training."

The Baby Jogger Summit leaves you in total control, with its unique hand-operated deceleration brake and even a tether strap on the handlebar. You can switch between lock and swivel modes and it also has a great amount of storage for you and your baby's belongings. The Baby Jogger also has a one handed compact fold.

One mum said: "This stroller is simply the best I have ever owned! It has been designed and built beautifully! Perfect for long strolls over bumpy roads and gravel. Manoeuvres easily and the brake is oh-so-useful when going down steep hills. The ride is so smooth (for both the 'driver' and the 'passenger'), my boy almost instantly falls asleep when he's in there."

Specifically designed for the active parent, this Mountain Buggy has a compact stand fold, making it great for storing away in car boots. Other key features of the Mountain Buggy include retractable leg extension, a longer seat back and a multi-adjustable handlebar. It also comes with both 16" and 12" rear air-filled tyres, that works with the hand operated control brake for maximum control.

One review said: "We are absolutely thrilled with the mountain buggy. Yes, it is quite bulky, but offers good comfort and is so easy to use. The tires can be easily removed from time to time. For me, the handbrake is pure luxury. With the foot brake, another solution would have been more convenient, because it is difficult to release the brake with your foot underneath."

With plenty of handy features, including the large shopping basket underneath and a wrist strap for securing, the Ickle Bubba Venus Max Jogger Stroller can be used from birth, and for jogging from nine months. It comes with a tyre pump, UPF 50+ sun protection and protective rain cover, so you can make sure the pram is ready whatever the weather.

A parent said: "I love this pushchair! I have been so much more active since getting it. So far I can’t fault anything about it, I’ve even been using it on my everyday jobs like shop run and school run. My son (20months old) is very comfortable and enjoys a nap on our longer walks, the hood is big and keeps him out of the sun. A pleasure to push around."

The UPPAbaby Ridge Stroller is a jogger pushchair that's super comfortable for your child. It has state of the art suspension, large tyres with deep tread and a padded harness with lumbar support. It also has an adjustable handle bar, so you can choose a height that suits yourself. It also comes with a water bottle holder and spacious basket.
