In researching trailer/joggers I've found them to be very expensive. I'm considering getting a trailer/stroller ( it has the boom out in front, however, the wheel is a smaller size) that they say can be used as a jogger. I'd like to know, from someone with experience, how they fare as a jogger?

I picked one up on sale at Target a few months ago. Works as well as the higher priced Yakima that I once borrowed from a friend.

Easy enough to convert to a jogger...there's a small third wheel attached to the boom which you pivot down, then attach the handle bar and off you go. Nice and stable too.

Between biking, rolerblading, and jogging, we've been using it maybe 15-20 miles a week, and it's held up very well. HTH

My wife and I just picked up a Bell trailer/jogger at Costco for $148. I've biked with them for a week and it's great. My wife uses it as a jogger and says it works as well as her friends jogging stroller. All in all, we're very pleased.

Me and my Fiance have no kids yet,

but I was looking on ebay for joggers and was disappointed to see none with suspension forks or any titanium anywhere.

What the heck is all that about? I guess at least they have air filled tyres which is something...
