Now that it’s time to hit the trails, we are so excited to introduce you to the Baby Jogger Summit X3 Stroller. Not only is the Summit X3 affordable, but it boasts a high-quality and smooth ride that makes it a truly outstanding stroller. You may not know this, but Baby Jogger actually got its start years ago [you guessed it] in the running stroller category [hence the name], so they are going back to their roots with the new Baby Jogger Summit X3 running stroller.

Overview

When it comes to safety, Baby Jogger has it top of mind. The Summit X3 can support children up to 75 pounds — while the stroller itself only weighs 28.2 pounds. You can use the stroller on leisurely walks or for a 5 km race with your little running coach! Baby Jogger is the OG’s of running strollers, so you know you’re in good hands...no matter how far away you choose to roam.

THE SPECS:
  • Dimensions Unfolded: 45" x 26" x 43"
  • Dimensions Folded: 34" x 26" x 13.8"
  • Stroller Height 43.5"
  • Folded Height: 13.8"
  • Folded Width: 26"
  • Folded Length: 34"

Another excellent feature is that the Summit X3 accommodates a wide range of infant car seats with an adapter* including Baby Jogger, Britax, Chicco, Clek, Cybex, Graco, Peg Perego, or Maxi-Cosi.

Sun Safe Canopy 

Running in sunny weather with a child simply isn’t safe without proper shading. The canopy on the Baby Jogger Summit Stroller is UV 50+ and comes in a sleek black colour with a subtle chic pattern or a black with a bright neon green accent. The peekaboo window gives you the ability to check on your sleeping angel without waking them or slowing down.

If the skies turn grey and a summer shower hits, just break out the Weather Shield* and carry on your way.

A Handlebar That Keeps You in Control

Smooth acceleration and deceleration are crucial for babies catching some z’s on the run. Thankfully the no-slip handlebar features a hand brake that allows you to decelerate slowly when desired. Additionally, there is a handlebar tether strap to ensure you have full control, whether you’re going up a big hill or down a mountain.

How Low Can You Go?

Have you ever had your child in a stroller that doesn’t recline back very far and watched their head hang forward? It’s so uncomfortable to watch and even more uncomfortable to run knowing your child will have a sore neck later. With the Summit X3 Stroller, the seat reclines almost completely flat, so your little one will be in a comfy position for the duration of your run.

Air-Filled Wheels & All-Wheel Suspension

The combination of the air-filled tires and the all-wheel suspension makes this stroller a smooth ride for both you and your child. Being able to control how much air is in the tires is just another way Baby Jogger has given you the ability to adjust the stroller to your needs when running.

Lifetime Frame Warranty

Making a big purchase can always be intimidating if you haven’t purchased a brand before. Baby Jogger takes the stress away for new parents by offering a lifetime frame warranty on the Summit X3, so you can use the stroller to its maximum potential stress-free.

Big Basket

Diaper bag...purse...keys...phone. The Baby Jogger Summit X3 Stroller features convenient seatback storage and a large under-seat storage basket to ensure all your go-to items are close by.

For those of us who like to keep our water bottles within arm’s reach, you can even add on the Baby Jogger Universal Liquid Holster* to the handlebar. It's great at preventing unwanted spills.

Head Out for Adventure

It is truly incredible how versatile this stroller is and how early on in your baby’s life you can use it! It’s the perfect stroller for parents looking for one solid stroller to accompany them through life’s biggest races, as well as the simple, slower moments where you and your bundle of joy take in the world around you. Make the most of the nice weather and head out into the great outdoors with the Summit X3 — hopefully, the fresh air will tire the little one out enough for an easy bedtime.
