So you've been cleared for exercise after the birth of your baby and you're anxious to get outside and get moving! But who's going to watch your little one? If running or walking is your thing, you can take baby along in a jogging stroller. You get the exercise you crave, and baby gets a scenic tour of the neighborhood, with some fresh air to boot.

Jogging strollers have become more popular in recent years, motivating manufacturers to create even more models. This gives the consumer a great variety to choose from, but actually choosing which stroller to purchase can be a daunting task. Here are some features to consider when choosing a jogging stroller:

In the world of jogging stroller wheels, size matters. A true jogging stroller has three large wheels: one in front and two in the back. The larger wheels mean a smoother ride because there is less rolling resistance in the jogging stroller. Wheels come in 12", 16", and 20"+ sizes. To decide which size is best for you, think about how you will use the stroller.

. 12" Wheels are best for walking on smooth surfaces, like sidewalks, bike paths, and indoors.

. 16" Wheels are great for frequent outdoor walking or jogging on fairly smooth surfaces, with light off-road use (like cutting across a grassy field).

. 20"+ Wheels are made for frequent long-distance running and off-road use.
