Being a grandfather is a whole different story than being a father. When I was pushing my babies, I couldn't tell you diddly about strollers. As a grandfather, I had to shop, compare, and test before I would buy the stroller I bought to have at my house for my grandson. I ultimately chose the Baby Jogger Jogger II.

Although I don't jog with the baby, I can see how this stroller would be uniquely designed for that. The tripod wheels are just one example.

What I do do with baby in the stroller is go for walks in the woods, take him for walks on not so wonderful sidewalks, take him to the fair, zoo, park, where ever.

I have not found a terrain that The Baby Jogger Jogger II couldn't conquer. I believe that this is because of the design of the wheels. The wheels are available in three different sizes, 12",16", and 20". They are also set up on the stroller like a tricycle. Much sturdier than the old four wheel design. The size of wheel you choose depends upon what conditions you will be using the stroller in. If you are just using the stroller for sidewalks, malls, etc., the 12 in wheels would be fine for you. If you have lousy sidewalks like us, or if you will be doing more park walking, you should think about the 16". If you are an all terrain stroller like me, the 20" wheels are for you. I have yet to find conditions that I couldn't stroll through. Your choice of wheel sizes is reflected in the price of the stroller.

The appearance of the stroller, from a man's point of view, is really not any worse, or an nicer than any other. It does have a nice large canopy to keep baby protected from the elements. The Baby Jogger Jogger II comes in your choice of red, black, turquoise, navy, or purple. Ours is a nice, sedate navy.

I have also found the stroller easy to care for, or clean up. Quick clean ups can be done just with a damp cloth or baby wipe. The stroller is large enough to carry a baby of any size up to 100 pounds.

Now to the manly stuff...The Warranty!!! The frame comes with a lifetime warranty, and all other parts have a one year warranty. From what I've seen so far, this shouldn't be a problem. I have put ours through some abuse, and have not damaged it yet.

I have really found the Baby Jogger Jogger II to be an excellent stroller for our needs. I would highly recommend paying the little extra for excellence.
