Until Little Man decided he'd had enough of our jogging stroller - total meltdown. It wasn't pretty, tears and boogers everywhere! The end result was Mr Hubs coming to rescue us with the truck.
Do you take your little one with you when running? What do you do when a meltdown presents itself? Run through with a screaming kid or give it up?

Oh, that stinks! I was lucky. Both my babies loved the stroller. It put them to sleep, in fact. My record is a 50 minute run with a 7 month old. Once they start walking in toddlerhood it can be a tough sell. Are you giving him toys/cheerios/sippycup when you run? I used to periodically let go and run circles around the stroller. It helps when they see you every now and then. I also played "runaway baby" and made them think I was hysterical because the stroller was out of control. It made them laugh. :)
ReplyDeleteI gave him a little moose toy but I made a rookie mom mistake - I forgot the binkie! How could I have been so silly? lol This was his first time in the stroller though so I imagine he'll come to enjoy it. :)
ReplyDeleteI never took Rylan with me when I ran because I don't have a jogging stroller. Any you recommend? I tried Auggie- but he tripped me too much. I'd like him to be able to get to that point where he could go though.
ReplyDeleteI used to take Rylan walking- like 6 miles at a time & she would usually end up passing out. Maybe you could plan it for a time when he would be sleepy? If she fussed, I would just find a caterpillar or something, but thats not so easy to do when you're running.
We have the Jeep stroller and I love it. Its a nice smooth ride and the best part is that I can plug my iPod into it - we both get to listen!
ReplyDeleteDo you have a running soundtrack or music preference?
