FEATURES
4 out of 5 points
The Baby Jogger Performance Jogging Stroller was designed with the serious jogger in mind. It has three 20-inch pneumatic tires and is sturdy with a rear suspension to make sure that your bundle of joy is comfortable no matter how fast you go or how bumpy the road gets. The three panel adjustable sun canopy keeps the sun off the baby and the comfortable padded seat reclines almost flat with just one hand. It also has a quick release to bring the seat back up.
SAFETY
4 out of 5 points
The Performance Jogging Stroller has a direct-pull V-brake for more responsive braking when going fast or down hill. The V-brake takes a little time to hook up and align and some don’t even see the point of it being there at all, but it is nice to know it is there in case you need it. It also includes a safety wrist strap so the stroller can’t get away from you. The 5 point harness is adjustable for infants to larger children.
MANUEVERABILITY AND RIDE
3 out of 5 points
The Baby Jogger Performance has independent rear shocks that will provide comfort for your baby. It doesn’t matter if you’re running or walking, if you’re on flat surface or dirt road, your sweetie pie won’t be jostled around at all. The only problem is that the stroller is rather wide, and does present some problems getting around in tight spaces.
COMFORT

The Performance Jogging Stroller’s seat is padded to provide comfort for your little one and the recline is wonderful making baby the happiest one around. The seat has side ventilation panels for cooling breezes on hot days.
DURABILITY
4 out of 5 points
A used Baby Jogger Performance Jogging Stroller is one of the most durable around, being made of a one piece aluminum frame that has no joints or connectors to weaken. The frame has a limited life time warranty, and small parts have 1 year warranty but this stroller can be fixed at any bike shop should it need repair. We believe the Baby Jogger Performance will last no matter how much you use it.
WEIGHT AND FOLDING
4 out of 5 points
This jogging stroller folds easily by grabbing fold strap and pulling, but it is big even folded. The wheels must be removed to get the Baby Jogger Performance in small places including small cars, so this stroller is more suited to families with a large car or extra garage space to store it. The stroller itself weighs only 23 pounds and will hold a child up to 100 pounds.
STORAGE
4 out of 5 points
Under seat storage basket is a little small. When one is running it is good to have a bigger basket so things won’t fall out. Comes with storage bag and there is a parent consol for wallet, keys, and cell that zips shut. You can purchase other options for storage that will attach to the stroller.
EASE OF CLEANING
5 out of 5 points
The seat, canopy and basket fabric can all be removed and machine washed.
LOOKS AND STYLE
4 out of 5 points
The sleek aerodynamic design makes it look like the Cadillac of jogging strollers. It comes in four different designer colors: black/red, navy/yellow, navy/silver, and red silver.
