Three popular running buggies tested for safety and durability

Three running buggies, the Uppababy Ridge, Thule Urban Glide 3, and Cybex Avi Spin, have been tested for robustness, safety, and durability.

  • The Uppababy Ridge, priced at £700, features all-terrain capabilities with air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension.
  • The Thule Urban Glide 3, costing £570, is a travel-system-compatible stroller suitable from six months, with 16-inch rear wheels.
  • The Cybex Avi Spin, available for £450, is a hybrid pushchair with a lie-flat seat unit and air-filled tyres.

Three popular running buggies have undergone testing for their robustness, safety, and durability. The Uppababy Ridge, priced at £700, is an all-terrain pushchair featuring large, air-filled tyres, all-wheel suspension, and a hand-operated deceleration brake. Its front swivel wheel can be locked for running.

The Thule Urban Glide 3, costing £570, is a three-wheel stroller compatible with travel systems and suitable for babies aged six months and older. It includes 16-inch rear wheels, all-wheel suspension, and an angle-adjustable handlebar. A handbrake and wrist-strap are also included for safety.

The Cybex Avi Spin, available for £450, is a hybrid pushchair that is also travel system-compatible. It features a lie-flat seat unit, a one-pull harness, air-filled tyres, and a handbrake for control on hilly terrain. The Uppababy Ridge 2 is now available in shops.

What this means for you: If you are considering a running buggy, ensure it is designed for jogging, wait until your baby is at least six months old (or eight months as advised), and only run with the main seat attached, not a carrycot or car seat.
