— IT ALL BEGINS WITH THE JOGGER —

Just like everything else affected by the pull of gravity, your stroller can and will

tip over in certain circumstances. Here are some tips to reduce that risk:

•• AVOID TIPPING OVER ••

USE GOOD JUDGEMENT: Jogging with a stroller requires physical strength and sound mental judgement.

JOGGER’S RESPONSIBILITIES:

• ALWAYS use seat harness to avoid serious

injury to child.  An unrestrained child is
at risk of falling or sliding out of stroller.

• ALWAYS keep the safety strap attached

to your wrist while using the stroller.

• NEVER allow a child to stand in the stroller.

• ALWAYS set the rear brakes

when loading or unloading.

• NEVER leave a child unattended.

• DO NOT wear headphones

while jogging with a stroller.

• AVOID a busy road or highway that is

unsafe for a child.  Run defensively and
don’t assume that you will be seen or
given the right of way by autos or bicycles.

• DO NOT allow a child or adolescent to

push the stroller.  They do not have the
strength or good judgement to safely do so.

• Monitor children closely so they do not

stand up or lean out of the stroller as this
may cause the stroller to tip over.

• Monitor children to insure that all body

parts, clothes, toys and any other objects
are kept away from the wheels and other
moving parts.

• Slow down when turning and avoid sudden

swerves or directional changes.

• Do not strap bags or packages to handle; it affects the

balance and stability of the stroller and can cause it to
tip over backwards.

• Always cross tracks, curb cutouts and grooved road

surfaces at a 90-degree angle. Narrow angles when
crossing such obstacles could cause tip over resulting
in accident and injury.

• Not intended for off-road travel.  Run on paved surfaces

only. Avoid curb hopping, potholes and any other road
obstructions as you run with your stroller.

WARNING:

Bouncing or rocking by passengers can

cause serious injury or death.

NIGHT RUNS:

Avoid jogging at night by planning your
run in the daylight hours.
