I've read most of the literature regarding jogging strollers
including the posted FAQ. I'm aware that the Baby Jogger
brand is the standard bearer, and a variety of other brands
rate highly as well.
However, I have the opportunity to buy a new Avenir/Raleigh
deluxe stroller for $100, but cannot find any reviews on
this product. Has anyone purchased or used this stroller?
Since Raleigh is a bicycle maker, I'm thinking the
construction cannot be that bad. Or is this one of those
"you get what you paid for" situations? The price just seems
unreasonably low.
At this price, I'm willing to give up quality vis-a-vis the
Baby Jogger, but only if I get a jogger reasonably
sufficient to handle the tasks.
FYI, I am a 32 yr old who runs anywhere between 12 and 30
miles a week. I run sub 7s on my easy runs (does pace matter
for a stroller?) on paved streets. I would start out running
with my 1 year old 2-3 times a week between 15-40 minutes
each . If it works out, I would love to run with him 5 times
a week and up my mileage (he's one of the reason's I can't
put in more miles!).
Is the Avenir up to the task?
Greatly appreciate your advice.
