Have been out a few times in my new kid runner with my 7 month old. I had a push running Stroller before this one. I actually hated it and would cut my run short because it was so irritating. Once the kid runner came it did require a bit of set up but fairly easy to figure out. After 1 to 2 runs I had my daughter situated correctly for a smooth ride. So far she’s falling asleep within 20 minutes. I bring my dog and strap her to me as well. I am sure we are quite a sight! Looking forward to our first race;)
If you are serious about running and or get out daily, you want equipment that is of professional grade.
Kidrunner is just that. A real quality tool
built to be used and perform at a high level every time.
It’s not perfect but d*mn close.
My son was about 1.5 when I bought our Kidrunner. After doing quite a bit of running with my son, and completing a couple half marathons I was thinking, there has to be a better way...jogging stroller running just feels so unnatural. I absolutely loved every run with the Kidrunner, and even with my son being on the large side (he's very broad, tall, and muscular, about 40 lbs and 3 ft 1 in when he turned 2) he fit comfortably for quite a while, he is starting to get a little cramped at 2.5 but still rides behind my husband in the KidRunner as I'm now pregnant with our second. I'm excited to use it early on with her, and to be able to run with the KidRunner as our little guy rides his bike alongside. I highly recommend the KidRunner!
My son is almost 2 1/2 and I wish I had gotten this stroller when he was an infant, because it is awesome! I have been running with him in a pushing running stroller since he was just a couple of months, and I really liked being able to see him in front of me, but besides that it was really hard, every run. It gets easier but it is pretty exhausting! I just got the Kidrunner stoller and the ability to pull, and continue with your normal running gait while using your arms is a gamechanger. I am really looking forward to fall weather when I can use this a lot! It is SO much easier than pushing a stroller!
I wish I had gotten this stroller when my
Son was first born, (he’s 2 now) as it’s so much easier than pushing a stroller! Running is a huge part of my life, and the kidrunner stroller allows you to actually go for a run and enjoy it with your little one!
I got the Kidrunner to run with my son, but now with my daughter as well, it has become a family affair. They now take turns riding in the kidrunner. It has easily paid for itself with mitigating babysitting about 50 hours worth so far.
Our son is 17 months old, and I've missed going on our long runs up to this point. When my jogging stroller began having issues with a front wheel, I decided to look into the Kidrunner. The Kidrunner worked like a dream on our first 7 miler on the trail, and the little guy was quite content, falling asleep half way through the run. So happy to have discovered the Kidrunner!!
Amazing product! After our first run, my 3.6 years old son asked: "Papa, how was it?" I replied, "Son, I can run around the world with you..." He said: "Papa, let's go run around the world..." Good luck with everything KidRunner team!
If you want to keeping running as a parent, I highly recommend getting the KidRunner to run hands free! My upper-body form and stride length feels great when I run with the KidRunner, no compromises. The KidRunner time is a highlight of our day, my son and I love our adventures and exercise time together.
This device is as efficient as it gets. I raced a half marathon with my 21lb 9 month old and we were flying!
I am a senior runner who purchased a Kidrunner to use with my 2 year old granddaughter. She was initially opposed to stepping inside but is now enthusiastic about rolling along while encouraging grandpa to run faster! I'm looking forward to years of running and exploring new things with my granddaughter.
I am a track and cross country coach as well as a marathon runner myself when my son was first born i tried using a jogging stroller but quickly found pushing a stroller to be the most inefficient way to run with my baby. I knew someone out there had to have invented a trailer for puking kids while you run instead of push because wat not use your child for a little resistance training as well as enjoy your time together getting healthy.
My son loves running with mama even on our long runs. He naps comfortably or easily watches the world go by through the windows. It is even comfortable for me to use as well. I have used it on both road runs and crazy bumpy trail runs and we have yet to be disappointed. I will never regret this purchase!!
Only complaints are no tinting on the windows for those sunny days to protect little eyes and fragile skin and needs an all weather cover for those rainy days.
One look in our garage and we have every stroller possible! I couldn't find a running stroller I actually liked to run with. We have tried BOB and THULE among others. Kidrunner is much lighter, better performing and easier!!
Pulling is definitely easier than pushing. You don't have to sacrifice your form when running with kidrunner. STride stays the same and you can use your arms!! I never knew how different it would be to actually run hands free. It is easier, not as dreadful nor as hard as pushing a stroller (especially that darn double). And for me it's safer. I don't have to worry about a rogue stroller.
My kids love the kidrunner, it's comfy and the gentle rocking is great even for those prone to hate napping! My son falls asleep almost instantly. I have 3 children ranging from 8 months to 4 years old and they ALL love our Kidrunner. After using kidrunner and other running strollers (owning several running strollers), I can't go back! It's hard when we have to use the double (so Kidrunner, here's my plea for a double!!). You'll love how lightweight the stroller is and easy to use. And the kids will love it too!! They never complain about being in the kidrunner.
My only beef is loading of a the kidrunner. It doesn't collapse like the BOB, but for me function and weight negate this! It's made me enjoy to run with my kids. I hated before and avoided having to stroller run. Now racing and running is fun, like I thought it would be. Thanks to kidrunner. Did I mention it's good for trails and road!! It turns easy, it's comfy around the waist. I have never had problems with rubbing and it doesn't cause any back pain or aches. I can keep my running form! You're life won't be the same after purchasing a Kidrunner! It's well worth it! This is a stroller you will have for years! I think it holds up better than the other and is built for safety! So thank you Kidrunner for making a product parent runners can actually enjoy using!
My kid has always hated a stroller, but he tolerates the KidRunner enough for me to get a short run in. And it’s more comfortable, especially on the dirt trails I like to run.
I bought this stroller two months ago and I'm very satisfied in all the ways. Only 2 weeks between the order and the reception (shipping to Belgium -EU) at home with tracking by mail.
The assembly is very easy and quick and everything is very good explained in the video. Comparing to a traditional running stroller its really more fun and easy especially for women to use. It's really hard for women to run and push a stroller at the same time, the kidrunner offers a great pleasure because it offers more comfort during running. My baby got 10 months and started to sit alone. Thats the good time to start using the kidrunner. The 3 point harness is adaptable for multiples sizes. I did not yet tried to transport the kidrunner in my car so I cannot give you an opinion on that point.
I recommande this stroller for all parents, especially women, who wants to stay independent.
Cannot say enough about this product and the company behind it. I purchased a KidRunner about a year ago and it has allowed me the freedom to run with my daughter, now 2, without the hassle of a stroller. It is great for training for races as well. More importantly, my daughter LOVES being in the KidRunner!
My child will be born in the next two weeks. For testing KidRunner, my dogs served as testers. They enjoyed the run. People was very curious about this engine. For the global experience, with a weight of 40 pounds (including my dogs and the kidrunner engine) i made a five kilometers in 20:30 minutes. Next years, i will use KidRunner with my kid for professionnial run. I made a personnal glasses in the frond of the KidRunner juste for cut some wind for the passengers.
First one in Quebec, Saguenay to use this kind of engine. The latter turns heads :)
Pour nos amis francophones, sincèrement c'est le plus bel achat pour un jeune papa qui aime s'offrir du bon temps en plein air avec son enfant. Ce n'est pas un engin de piètre qualité mais bien au contraire. J'ai facilement atteint la vitesse de 21 km / heures avec mes deux chiens et le charriot. J'ai facilement été capable aussi de conserver un pace de 4 minutes du kilomètre.
I am a mom of 3 -7,5 and 1.5. I have had my kidrunner since my littlest was 8 months. I have been trying to get one since my 1st was 6 months but it took a little longer to get into production. I own every other kid jogging option - single bob, double bob, triple wide and even a triple runabout for those in the way back machine. I love running with my kids and dog in tow. I have been running with them since they were each 2 weeks old which may sound crazy - I am by no means a fantastic runner, more a jogger, but the freedom to go outside with your kids, get great excercise and not owe anyone after or have to schedule any kid care is amazing. Running time with mom is nap time, snack time, conversation time, song time ... great bonding time. While I have loved all my running strollers there is not one like the kidrunner. The stride freedom is unmatchable. Also the ease of use on alternative terrain is fantastic. It does great on the carriage paths in Acadia and on the beach in Fairfield CT or Newport CA where we now live.
I even pair it with the Double Bob so I can run the two big ones to school and continue on the beach with my littlest. The technology in the runner is fanatistic! Great gift for the soon to be mom who runs!
One of the most daunting tasks about the modern day running strollers is trying to maintain any form and power while pushing something and the ability to run naturally. KidRunner has transformed the way I view and think about running with my toddler since I pulled it out of the box. Overall a fantastic product that allows me to keep my form and I can’t wait to see what comes next with the bike and ski accessories and some amazing winter adventures.
My daughter love her kid runner stroller.
Now our 10 month baby can join us.
It is very stable and smooth.
I really recomend this stroller
Thank's to KidRunners stroller my 1 year old son and I suddenly can run together! We just love this Roman inspired chariot with it's great qualities. Super exited for the bike- and ski system to be released. :)
I purchased my KidRunner a year ago as a part of the May 2018 release & I’m so happy I did.
It’s fun.
People love seeing it go by. They will ask questions & want to take your kid for a run. :) Kids love it too - or at least mine does. He crawls right in & often dozes off.
It’s comfortable.
It’s easy to forget it’s there unless you are running uphill. And even then, it’s SO much better than pushing a jogger! But people think you are so hardcore for {pulling} your child.
The customer service is excellent.
Once you buy one, it feels like you are a part of the KidRunner family. I made some less than stellar decisions off-roading with my KidRunner & the company went above & beyond helping me to fix it.
It makes you want to run.
Even after owning for a year, I look forward to going out & running with it. I debated for some time about buying since I felt like I wasn’t a ‘serious’ enough runner & already had equipment that could achieve the same thing. But it’s really a game changer. And very different.
Only hiccups.
The storage & sun situation are a little less than ideal. But there are workarounds to both. And I believe the company is in the process of remedying.
I’d definitely buy again; and recommend to all of my friends. It’s beautifully made and designed and a game changer for running freely.
Queue the music...the kidRunner allows you to run as close as possible to your natural stride and still be able to have your child with you. If you have ever run with a traditional stroller for an extended run you will know how painful it can be on your shoulders and arms. This eliminates that. I love being able to get out and run and still be able to bring my son with me and not have to worry about it affecting my run in that way.
I have been asked what kind of stroller it is and I have told them its not a stroller its a chariot :)
If you like to run with your child this is a must have!
It's been great running with the kidRunner, my spouse and I always refer to it as the chariot because it's not a stroller. Our little one even likes it and she can't stand the car seat, so the rocking motion in the cockpit is good to keep her entertained. I've only heard complaints from her when I took it off road over some big roots.
I am so glad I came across the kid runner, it makes running natural and fun while being able to enjoy my runs with my baby. After having my little boy, I would push him in my jogging stroller and think how amazing my life was.... after time the stroller became bulky and awkward. That is when I saw the kid runner and knew this was what i needed. I am so glad I bought it, i love it. He goes everywhere with me and loves it! And the customer service has been amazing, thank you. So glad I tried it, we are hooked!
This is a high performance and very well made piece of gear. It enables me to go running when preciously I couldn’t . And my children love coming along for the ride. It means time spent running doesn’t have to be time away from the kids either .
Just got back from a 9 mile run with the KidRunner. We have used it since our son was 10 weeks and he loves it! He naps for our entire run and loves to look at the scenery while we run. We get so many comments from other runners and cyclists, its definitely an improvement from pushing a stroller.
My husband bought me a kidrunnner for Christmas while I was pregnant with our 4th child. I had run with my other kids, using many different types of strollers, even a triple running stroller/couch on wheels. While I enjoyed taking the kids with me on adventures, i hated what the strollers did to my form.
Enter kidrunner. It’s pricey, but I think in the same ballpark as a good running stroller, and brings with it more benefits. I was nervous to try it out with my post-baby body, thinking I wouldn’t fit (I’m more of an Athena body type to begin with) but fit and initial comfort were not an issue and there was room to spare. My older kids range in size from 55lbs and 50” to 36lbs and 42”. I let them each have a go on a quick half-mike circuit in my neighborhood with some rolling hills and poorly-paved roads. They all fit comfortably and had a blast- they said it felt like they were riding on a horse carriage. The bumps were absorbed well and their ride was smooth, and they liked the enclosed “cockpit” feel of the seat. I actually felt like the design of the kidrunner allows it to absorb more of the bumps than a traditional running stroller, and turning was the equivalent of running with a swivel front wheel in that it turns gracefully and doesn’t require additional effort.
The main selling point, obviously, is that your arms are free to move more naturally and you don’t have to shorten your stride to accommodate a stroller in front of you. I love having my armswing back and while stride is longer, I did notice a tugging around my waist, particularly when my i slowed and/or we were going up a hill. Like a rhythmic pulling back as You’re pushing off, but I suppose it’s similar to the resistance you’d have while pushing a stroller, this is just more core and lower body driven as opposed to upper body. And like a traditional stroller, it becomes less noticeable the faster I go. Overall I’d enthusiastically recommend the kidrunner!
This has been the best purchase ever for running. We had our first child a 2 years ago. My brother in-law and his wife bought us one of the best jogging strollers on the market. I was looking at the first addition of the Kidrunner but was a little skeptical because it was a new product and a new idea. I missed the first launch because of my skepticism. I keep an eye on the product to see if there was going to be another launch and there was, but I was still undecided if I wanted to purchase one. After a couple of weeks and a little pushing from my wife I decided to get one. It showed up and our son was a little afraid of it at first but by the third run we couldn’t get him out of it. We were keeping our Kidrunner in a spare room next to the front door, but we had to move it to the garage because our son started wanting to go for a ride every couple of hours. This was the point where I had to tell my wife she was right about investing in the Kidrunner. She told me with all the miles I log in a week it was an easy decision for her. I average between 25-35 miles a week and have found that the Kidrunner is much easier to run with then the stroller. The first reason is that you don’t have to steer it, it just follows you. The second is you don’t have to worry about controlling the speed when descending because it stays with you. The third is it is easy to use. I you must do is buckle the kid in like you would a car seat and clip on the belt and go. The only suggestion I have for this product is figuring out how to fit two kids in it or a way to connect two Kidrunners together. In the meantime, I will use the jogging stroller and the Kidrunner.
Much better than pushing; make running much more bio-mechanically correct. And the looks you get as you run by...well, it is nice to be within the prototype realm:)
My KidRunner was a fathers day gift, and I love it. It handles great, pulls smoothly and doesn't jab you when you need to slow down or stop quickly. I would recommend looking into a collapsible canopy frame for easier storage and transport as the current iteration is very large and takes up a lot of space either in storage or travel and maybe a two seater for running with multiple kids. That recommendation aside, the functionality is phenomenal, and I would definitely recommend this product to other runners with kids.
I work as a truck driver with my dog in Europe. Every day is different country, other landscape. We love to run, useful thing. We need food? We're running to the store. Or do we just want a trip? We're running to the hotel and back. This is no longer a problem. The Kidrunner rolls quietly after me and brings what I need. Mindy, shopping, or tent. Nothing is impossible any more. 🏃♀️🐩
We love our KidRunner! We couldn't wait to put our son in it right when he turned 6 months. Now we can run together and he loves it. It was always so difficult running with a baby jogger and my husband would rather run separately than have to push that thing. We are so happy we found the KidRunner!
The 2-year-old has been running with me in the KidRunner for almost a year now, and he loves it. He always wants to climb in and go for a run, and generally he's happy to nap in there once we're going. The dog attachment works well (I use it with a bungie leash) and allows me to take our whole "team" out for a run, hands-free and with my natural running form.
The Kidrunner was my Christmas gift. I was skeptical at first because I am not a pro runner and I already owned a jogging stroller but I decided to give it a try. Now I absolutely love it! It is so much lighter than the jogging stroller. It actually allows me to jog (before I walked more than jogged). My child loves it as well. With the kidrunner I have been going further and faster. I would recommend this to a friend. It changed my workout routine.
Before kid runner, I would jog with my chariot, after any run longer than 3 miles with the kids, my lower back began to ache. After running with the kid runner, I have less pain and the kids absolutely love it. My eldest is almost 5, and he loves hanging in there, he calls it his cave, so far though his weight hasn't even effected my runs. This is a dream.
I have also noticed a huge core strength since using the kid runner. What I love about it, is that kid runner is for everyone. My husband who is 6'2 and me 5'7 both can use it. I love my kid runner so much that it almost makes me consider having another kid, almost.

Be Different to be the Best -
Our dream as parents, designers and engineers was to love being in motion with our kids. We started by changing everything about the jogging stroller. Now, Bike and Nordic Skiing are around the corner! And we can't wait to share them.
What makes KidRunner different?
KidRunner is the lightest, most efficient way to run with your kids. It's innovative design and advanced materials make it the only natural form, multi-terrain jogging stroller. Now, parents and kids all over the world are doing amazing things with their KidRunners.

Testimonials
The setup let our testers run more naturally than with other models, freely swinging our arms instead of being tethered to a handlebar. Plus, the slim design slices through the wind. Read More >>
I tested a lot of strollers when I wrote a running stroller guide for Runner’s World when my son was born. They all had the same thing in common: pushing a weighted object that was clearly a separate part of your body. Read More >>
Biomechanically, we found it infinitely more natural and enjoyable than pushing even a top-of-the-line running stroller. Pulling weight versus pushing is beneficial for both your stride and your joints. Read More >>

People love seeing it go by. They will ask questions & want to take your kid for a run. :) Kids love it too - or at least mine does. He crawls right in & often dozes off.
It’s comfortable.
It’s easy to forget it’s there unless you are running uphill. And even then, it’s SO much better than pushing a jogger! But people think you are so hardcore for {pulling} your child.
The customer service is excellent.
Once you buy one, it feels like you are a part of the KidRunner family. I made some less than stellar decisions off-roading with my KidRunner & the company went above & beyond helping me to fix it.
It makes you want to run.
Even after owning for a year, I look forward to going out & running with it. I debated for some time about buying since I felt like I wasn’t a ‘serious’ enough runner & already had equipment that could achieve the same thing. But it’s really a game changer. And very different.
Only hiccups.
The storage & sun situation are a little less than ideal. But there are workarounds to both. And I believe the company is in the process of remedying.
I’d definitely buy again; and recommend to all of my friends. It’s beautifully made and designed and a game changer for running freely.
Queue the music...the kidRunner allows you to run as close as possible to your natural stride and still be able to have your child with you. If you have ever run with a traditional stroller for an extended run you will know how painful it can be on your shoulders and arms. This eliminates that. I love being able to get out and run and still be able to bring my son with me and not have to worry about it affecting my run in that way.
I have been asked what kind of stroller it is and I have told them its not a stroller its a chariot :)
If you like to run with your child this is a must have!
It's been great running with the kidRunner, my spouse and I always refer to it as the chariot because it's not a stroller. Our little one even likes it and she can't stand the car seat, so the rocking motion in the cockpit is good to keep her entertained. I've only heard complaints from her when I took it off road over some big roots.
I am so glad I came across the kid runner, it makes running natural and fun while being able to enjoy my runs with my baby. After having my little boy, I would push him in my jogging stroller and think how amazing my life was.... after time the stroller became bulky and awkward. That is when I saw the kid runner and knew this was what i needed. I am so glad I bought it, i love it. He goes everywhere with me and loves it! And the customer service has been amazing, thank you. So glad I tried it, we are hooked!
This is a high performance and very well made piece of gear. It enables me to go running when preciously I couldn’t . And my children love coming along for the ride. It means time spent running doesn’t have to be time away from the kids either .
Just got back from a 9 mile run with the KidRunner. We have used it since our son was 10 weeks and he loves it! He naps for our entire run and loves to look at the scenery while we run. We get so many comments from other runners and cyclists, its definitely an improvement from pushing a stroller.
My husband bought me a kidrunnner for Christmas while I was pregnant with our 4th child. I had run with my other kids, using many different types of strollers, even a triple running stroller/couch on wheels. While I enjoyed taking the kids with me on adventures, i hated what the strollers did to my form.
Enter kidrunner. It’s pricey, but I think in the same ballpark as a good running stroller, and brings with it more benefits. I was nervous to try it out with my post-baby body, thinking I wouldn’t fit (I’m more of an Athena body type to begin with) but fit and initial comfort were not an issue and there was room to spare. My older kids range in size from 55lbs and 50” to 36lbs and 42”. I let them each have a go on a quick half-mike circuit in my neighborhood with some rolling hills and poorly-paved roads. They all fit comfortably and had a blast- they said it felt like they were riding on a horse carriage. The bumps were absorbed well and their ride was smooth, and they liked the enclosed “cockpit” feel of the seat. I actually felt like the design of the kidrunner allows it to absorb more of the bumps than a traditional running stroller, and turning was the equivalent of running with a swivel front wheel in that it turns gracefully and doesn’t require additional effort.
The main selling point, obviously, is that your arms are free to move more naturally and you don’t have to shorten your stride to accommodate a stroller in front of you. I love having my armswing back and while stride is longer, I did notice a tugging around my waist, particularly when my i slowed and/or we were going up a hill. Like a rhythmic pulling back as You’re pushing off, but I suppose it’s similar to the resistance you’d have while pushing a stroller, this is just more core and lower body driven as opposed to upper body. And like a traditional stroller, it becomes less noticeable the faster I go. Overall I’d enthusiastically recommend the kidrunner!
This has been the best purchase ever for running. We had our first child a 2 years ago. My brother in-law and his wife bought us one of the best jogging strollers on the market. I was looking at the first addition of the Kidrunner but was a little skeptical because it was a new product and a new idea. I missed the first launch because of my skepticism. I keep an eye on the product to see if there was going to be another launch and there was, but I was still undecided if I wanted to purchase one. After a couple of weeks and a little pushing from my wife I decided to get one. It showed up and our son was a little afraid of it at first but by the third run we couldn’t get him out of it. We were keeping our Kidrunner in a spare room next to the front door, but we had to move it to the garage because our son started wanting to go for a ride every couple of hours. This was the point where I had to tell my wife she was right about investing in the Kidrunner. She told me with all the miles I log in a week it was an easy decision for her. I average between 25-35 miles a week and have found that the Kidrunner is much easier to run with then the stroller. The first reason is that you don’t have to steer it, it just follows you. The second is you don’t have to worry about controlling the speed when descending because it stays with you. The third is it is easy to use. I you must do is buckle the kid in like you would a car seat and clip on the belt and go. The only suggestion I have for this product is figuring out how to fit two kids in it or a way to connect two Kidrunners together. In the meantime, I will use the jogging stroller and the Kidrunner.
Much better than pushing; make running much more bio-mechanically correct. And the looks you get as you run by...well, it is nice to be within the prototype realm:)
My KidRunner was a fathers day gift, and I love it. It handles great, pulls smoothly and doesn't jab you when you need to slow down or stop quickly. I would recommend looking into a collapsible canopy frame for easier storage and transport as the current iteration is very large and takes up a lot of space either in storage or travel and maybe a two seater for running with multiple kids. That recommendation aside, the functionality is phenomenal, and I would definitely recommend this product to other runners with kids.
I work as a truck driver with my dog in Europe. Every day is different country, other landscape. We love to run, useful thing. We need food? We're running to the store. Or do we just want a trip? We're running to the hotel and back. This is no longer a problem. The Kidrunner rolls quietly after me and brings what I need. Mindy, shopping, or tent. Nothing is impossible any more. 🏃♀️🐩
We love our KidRunner! We couldn't wait to put our son in it right when he turned 6 months. Now we can run together and he loves it. It was always so difficult running with a baby jogger and my husband would rather run separately than have to push that thing. We are so happy we found the KidRunner!
The 2-year-old has been running with me in the KidRunner for almost a year now, and he loves it. He always wants to climb in and go for a run, and generally he's happy to nap in there once we're going. The dog attachment works well (I use it with a bungie leash) and allows me to take our whole "team" out for a run, hands-free and with my natural running form.
The Kidrunner was my Christmas gift. I was skeptical at first because I am not a pro runner and I already owned a jogging stroller but I decided to give it a try. Now I absolutely love it! It is so much lighter than the jogging stroller. It actually allows me to jog (before I walked more than jogged). My child loves it as well. With the kidrunner I have been going further and faster. I would recommend this to a friend. It changed my workout routine.
Before kid runner, I would jog with my chariot, after any run longer than 3 miles with the kids, my lower back began to ache. After running with the kid runner, I have less pain and the kids absolutely love it. My eldest is almost 5, and he loves hanging in there, he calls it his cave, so far though his weight hasn't even effected my runs. This is a dream.
I have also noticed a huge core strength since using the kid runner. What I love about it, is that kid runner is for everyone. My husband who is 6'2 and me 5'7 both can use it. I love my kid runner so much that it almost makes me consider having another kid, almost.
