- Does your jogging stroller have large tires and adjustable shocks? This will help absorb the bouncing.
- Make sure you’re always visible by wearing brightly colored clothing and adding reflectors to your stroller's front, top, and sides.
- Even though a canopy provides coverage, your baby may still be exposed to the rays. Check in every so often to make sure your baby is shaded.
- Dress your child accordingly–they may need to wear more layers than you.

Stroller Safety
- Most jogging strollers are not designed to recline. Make sure your baby has neck strength and is at least 6-8 months old before you take them jogging.
- Always buckle up and use your stroller's five-point harness. This prevents your baby from wiggling out or standing up.
