Used to be parents would go for a run to get away from their little monsters…,I mean darling children.

Whenever I say little monsters I actually mean darling children.

Now we have baby joggers, whose name you should not take literally.

The little brat…I mean darling child, goes in the crib area and the parent does the jogging.

One plus about baby jogging strollers, is that the little need machine might drift off to sleep while your jogging and stop making that horrible crying sound they make.

So please do jog with your chubby little…I mean cherished off spring!!! You will feel better and baby will too.

Tips On Jogging With Your Baby

Always put sunscreen on your baby before going out for a jog.

Babies are unable to regulate their body temperature before 6-8 weeks. They prefer to be next to a warm body all bundled up and cozy. (Who wouldn't)

A head support to prevent head bobbing is an accessory that should also be invested in. They are inexpensive.

*Notice the blue one around my grandsons head.

You may want to get a Carry Cot (Like a mini crib that fits into the stroller.)

Tips On Choosing A Jogging Stroller

Choose light colors-for more visibilty and to reflect the heat.

Check to see if the stroller you are considering is certified by the ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials)Certification is not a requirement and is done at the expense of the company.

Take it for a test drive.

More Tips From Coach Carvey

Keep baby well bundled. You may be sweating, but the baby is just laying their taking the wind.

Always use the safety straps in the jogging stroller.

Try to stick to smooth surfaces, at least when the baby is very small.

Try to stay off of the main roads.

Always use the leash provided with the stroller. You will be amazed at how quickly a stroller can get out of control.

Walking, Jogging and Running with your baby is such a great way to get your body back. It's also fun for the baby.

Be patient, as I stress quite often, and (excuse the pun) Take Baby Steps. How quickly you get fit again depends on how fit you were to begin with (prior to giving birth.)

So take it slow and steady. You will see results and your baby will appreciate a Happy Mom STEP BY STEP!!!
