Description
The all-wheel suspension of the Summit X3 lends itself to a very smooth ride, and the jogging strap keeps the stroller from getting away from you. It’s all-terrain (it can even handle stairs!) just be careful not to puncture the air-filled wheels. For a mall or a crowded store it’s too bulky, but for long distances and rough weather, it’s perfect. Because the glide is so great, you feel like you’re pushing far less weight than you actually are.
What really sets this jogger apart are the hand controls. Jogging strollers typically let you choose between lock and swivel on the front wheel, but the Summit X3 takes it to the next level by letting you toggle with a handlebar device (instead of having to bend over the wheel). As well as having the standard foot brake, it’s also got a handbrake to give you extra control on downhill jogs. Keep in mind that these features (although they’re great) do get in the way of some handlebar accessories. Between that and the lack of built-in cupholder, you might end up stashing your water bottle in the bottom compartment.
The canopy holds up to the wind of your jogging and the mesh side vents help your child enjoy the breeze too. The canopy’s got two nice Velcro windows (although some people prefer magnet-secured windows, which avoid the Velcro ripping sound). With the right adapter, you can click in a car seat and make it a travel system. Although you wouldn’t jog with a newborn, you can snap in a car seat and run errands with your newborn. It has a few recline positions, but not the full recline a newborn needs. The biggest downside is that some parents experience front wheel shakiness when the front wheel is unlocked. The weight is far from light, but not bad for a jogging stroller, and it’s roomy enough for older children (up to 75 lbs!). The fold is a bit bulky, so measure your trunk to check the fit.
