Parents posting to Amazon.com say this is the best baby gear book available, with plenty of current info and lots of attitude, including sections aimed at steering consumers away from unnecessary features.

A couple have been discontinued.

A Runner's Guide to Double Jogging Strollers
by Katie Wolpert
Credibility Rating
Our AssessmentTested by running parents and their two children, this roundup of double joggers only includes three models and, technically, the phil&teds Sport is not a running stroller. The reviews, however, are thorough and well-balanced. Pros and cons are included, as are lifestyle recommendations.

Jogging Strollers
by Editors of BabyGizmo.com
Credibility Rating
Our AssessmentBabyGizmo.com is best known for its thorough reviews of baby products, including strollers, usually posting both a written and a video review. The reviews are detailed and thorough, but they are not comparative. This is probably the best site to help narrow down stroller selection based upon lifestyle. The senior editors have also compiled a Top 5 list in each category, including single jogging strollers, but a couple of these picks have been discontinued.

Jogging Strollers
by Contributors to Amazon.com
Credibility Rating
Our AssessmentAmazon.com lists dozens of jogging strollers, but the site is most useful once you have a stroller in mind. Reviews tend to be detailed and well thought out, listing both pros and cons of various strollers. Some strollers have hundreds of reviews, while some have only a handful. The reviews have to be considered carefully -- especially when it comes to complaints. Strollers are often downgraded because of factors having nothing to do with the stroller, such as shipping issues. Amazon.com is a particularly good resource for determining how a stroller holds up over the long term.

Jogging Strollers
by Contributors to Walmart.com
Credibility Rating
Our AssessmentWalmart.com is a particularly good resource for finding reviews on budget jogging strollers. There are dozens available on the site, and most have a good number of reviews. Like Amazon.com and other consumer sites, the reviews tend to be balanced and detailed, with pros and cons. Most useful is the insight into the everyday use of the stroller as well as its durability.

Jogging Stroller Reviews
by Contributors to Buzzillions.com
Credibility Rating
Our AssessmentBuzzillions.com compiles owner reviews from various sources, including REI, Toys R Us and Mercantilia. There are a good number of reviews for the most popular jogging strollers, and the sorting feature makes it easy to see which strollers attract the best reviews. However, a number of nonjogging strollers come up on this list, and there are not nearly as many reviews as there are on other consumer sites.

Stroller Queen Stroller Reviews
by Janet McLaughlin
Credibility Rating
Our AssessmentStroller Queen Janet McLaughlin has tested hundreds of strollers over many years. Her reviews are detailed and thorough and are tested in real-world situations with actual children. The reviews are not comparative and are often overly positive, and she seems to test only higher-end strollers. Her reviews, however, have value for choosing a stroller based upon lifestyle. It's also a good source if you're trying to make a final decision on a stroller. However, her site is not searchable, so finding out if she reviewed a stroller requires either painstakingly clicking through her site or a Google keyword search.

Cheap Jogging Strollers
by Raechel Conover
Credibility Rating
Our AssessmentThis review site, called "A Consumer Reports for the cheap," by The New York Times, provides thorough reviews of double and single jogging strollers, naming the best in both categories. The reviews are comparative and include pros and cons, and they explain why these strollers match up to higher end models. However, they are not based upon actual testing, but rather research into product features and safety requirements, reviews from other sources, and an elimination of luxury features that raise the price of similar products.

Kelty Speedster Swivel-Deluxe Review
by "Johanna"
Credibility Rating
Our Assessment"Johanna," a blogger and mother of two, plus one on the way, does a few reviews and giveaways, but her reviews are thorough and critical. Her only jogging stroller review is of the Kelty Speedster Swivel-Deuce. She doesn't look at it as a jogging stroller, but rather as a stroller for getting around the challenging terrain in her rural environment. It's informative and includes helpful photos.

Jogging Stroller Ratings
by Editors of ConsumerReports.org
Credibility Rating
Our AssessmentConsumerReports.org editors test seven jogging strollers for safety, maneuverability and ease of use. Two jogging strollers score a recommendation, but both are discontinued. The reliability of this source is downgraded because so many of these strollers have been discontinued, making this report seem dated.

Top Jogging Strollers
by Christine Luff
Credibility Rating
Our AssessmentChristine Luff, the running guide for About.com, offers her picks for the best jogging strollers. It appears that most of the strollers were not tested. She provides a brief overview but not much else. Even though this review says it was updated in July 2012, it includes a couple of strollers that were discontinued before that time. (Note: ConsumerSearch is owned by About.com, but the two don't share an editorial affiliation.)

Best Baby Stroller Reviews
by Contributors to Pregnancy and Newborn
Credibility Rating
Our AssessmentThis is a roundup of reviews by parents who purchase the strollers and then share their experiences with assembly and initial use. The reviews are highly positive; even those strollers with well-known, well-documented issues are reviewed positively, making this a less-than-helpful source of in-depth stroller information.
     
 

This is our assessment of the review’s relevance, clarity of testing and thoroughness.
