Since I have been running a lot lately to train for my first 5K, I have been searching high and low for a used, in good condition jogging stroller. If you have ever seen the price tag on a new, good quality jogging stroller, you know why I was looking for a used one. They can run anywhere from $250 to $500 (and sometimes more). I searched in various places...my workplace internal classifieds, Craigslist and many, many local garage sales, only to be disappointed either by the quality or the price offered. THEN...I remembered we had the bike trailer that can be converted into a stroller by putting on a swivel front wheel where it would hook to the bike and handle bars! Walla! A jogging stroller! I ran 2 miles this evening with my 30 pound toddler happily enjoying the fast-paced ride while pointing out all the dogs, ducks and birds (three things she is obsessed with right now). It was great! It glides and steers perfectly for jogging. So multi-functional and saved us $250-$500. Thank you Target!

What a money saver!
We bought this bike trailer last fall when it was on-sale at an end-of-summer sale at Target. Only $90. Julia loves to ride in it behind the bike and we have used on many, many bike rides.
