Running with Juliet.


Tends for Kids - Joggster lll

 
Sleeping through the bumps.

After using this buggy for a few months now, I have really started to put it through its paces. I started using the Tfk Joggster with the Multi X carry cot when my daughter Juliet was first born. However as an off road Ultra runner I was desperate for her to be old enough to really start hitting the trails with me.

 

When Juliet was six months old I started running with her in the Joggster. I used the seat adapter cushion to make the seat smaller for her so that she didn't jiggle about as much. The harness fits brilliantly and adjusts lots so Juliet is always comfortable irrespective of how many layers she is wearing.

The rain cover for the buggy is superb and is really beneficial on windy days too...I have been out in torrential rain and Juliet has always stayed toasty warm and dry.

 

The thing that I love most about this buggy is that running is really natural with it.... You don't have to consider at all where you put your feet and can run pretty normally. I can also steer the buggy with one hand and it corners really well too without tipping Juliet out.

 

I decided that a trip to the Lake District would be a good opportunity to test the pram on some rough stuff. My willing friend Katey offered to join me and we decided to run from Whinlatter up to Seat How. The run started on forest trails and then we went onto some technical single track as we made our ascent. The pram was great and you can see from the photos the terrain it handled.

On the climbs it was obviously harder work pushing the pram than it would be running without it, but the adjustable handle and the suspension on the buggy made it manageable at a good pace.

The descents were good fun and we took some sharp corners at fast speeds and baby and buggy were both ok!

 

This pram can really handle some tough running and makes running off road trails with the little one a lot of fun.

 

Huge thank you to TFK for their fantastic product.
