We've been putting our KidRunner through the wringer for a year now, and happy to report it has passed all testing with flying colors. Before our son turned 1 it made for a great napping space while allowing both Mom and Dad to get in their runs (while being easily adjustable between the two of us.) Now that he is a little older he loves his adventures in the KidRunner, becoming a real part of our favorite activity. Mom has loved getting back into the groove of running post-partum with the wee one along for the ride, while I've loved having a new training partner for my recovery runs (yes, running with the KidRunner is only marginally more effort than running without, making it perfect to strap on during the easy days) as I can spend time with my son while still training to be a competitive marathoner.
Towing the KidRunner behind you instead of pushing a conventional jogger is a real game-changer. Our favorite part of the KidRunner is how easy it is to take our dogs out with us without having to worry about them getting tangled up with a push stroller. We love our KidRunner so much it doesn't miss any weekend getaways and has tagged along on a couple of extended road trips. It's easy to pack up and makes it possible to get a nap in without disrupting travel adventures!

By far so much better than any push jogging stroller out there! We love ours and so does our daughter!

I’ve had my KidRunner for two weeks now and I can already tell you that I love it! My mileage has recently been increasing as well as how often my son needs to come along with me on my runs. With my traditional jogging stroller I was getting lots of knee pain and swelling. Runs with the jogging stroller made me dread going out.
My first run with KidRunner was pretty amazing, though the waist belt was super uncomfortable. I came to realize in my eagerness to take it out for a run I installed the forks upside down. Oops! Once that was corrected it was a game changer! On flat ground it was as if the KidRunner was floating behind me. My knee pain is gone along with the swelling and I actually enjoy taking my son with me for a run.
I also have to say that KidRunner has amazing customer service. They are always listening to their customers ideas/ feedback on the KidRunner, and available to problem solve any issues you may have. I need my waist belt a little tighter and they were able to help me with a solution.

Hands down this is the best stroller I’ve used! Prior to hearing about the KidRunner I bought a Chariot and a Bob running stroller which I used for about 500mi of pavement pounding. Both stroller have the same issue, they’re heavy, the tracking required regular adjustment, and they don’t encourage good running form. Since buying my KidRunner the Bob and Chariot sit in my attic collecting dust because they can’t compete with the performance, comfort, and ease of the KidRunner.

In addition to the phenomenal running performance the ski kit adds a whole new level of great. I am a XC ski racer and the KidRunner ski kit is the best thing I’ve ever seen or used. The single point attachment with bar going back means the ski form is spot on and there’s no interference with the poles, the kit is light, and I can do all my workouts with added resistance.

I absoutely love my Kidrunner. I’ve had it for 3 weeks now and have ran over 50 miles with it in a mixture of road/trail and tempo and fast runs. It lets us all get out as a family running with our 6 month old in the Kidrunner and our 5 year old on her bike. The freedom of running is superb and it feels a lot more natural than pushing a buggy. I would definitely recommend.

We've love our experience with KidRunner so far! I've used it with my 3.5 year old and my 14 month old and both really enjoy it and are easy for me to run with (weight wise). I love having my arms free and really feel that the KidRunner doesn't disrupt my form - evidenced by the fact that my pace with the KidRunner is a lot quicker than compared to a traditional jogging stroller. My kids love that they can see me and it makes it a lot easier to hear when they are saying to me than in the traditional jogging stroller set up where they are facing away from me.

My daughter has LOVED the kid runner! Sure, it arrive just as all the shelter in place orders went into effect, but we’ve maintained our distance when we go for runs. The Kidrunner has definitely helped with my form, which was my main concern coming from stroller running. Haven’t had a chance, or will power, to play run on my own since my Kidrunner has arrived, but pulling that extra weight instead of pushing, has definitely added a good amount of resistance, making any tempo, hill, or even recovery run interesting!

RUN: It’s so nice to run hands-free and not have to change your form. Pulling from the hips reinforces good running technique. During flat runs, I notice a 1 to 1.5 minute per mile decrease in pace compared to running with nothing at the same perceived effort. You can still run fast too! On a paved road that climbs 2,000 feet in five miles, I found the KidRunner waist belt wants to ride higher on your back heading downhill. Not a problem but just something to be aware of. On the uphill, I estimate my pace slowed about 2 minutes per mile compared to running without KidRunner. I found that during different paced runs it helps to experiment with the cockpit angle to get the least oscillation. There seems to be a sweet spot in the cockpit angle for every pace which changes slightly with the weight and position of your child.

SKI: I used a different brand’s pull behind kid carrier earlier in the winter before switching to the KidRunner SKI. The SKI is much lighter, glides better, and is easier to access your child than the other brand we used. Skating on flat trails it doesn’t slow you down much. On steep climbs, you’ll notice it but still allows you to have good form and more importantly, to be out there with your family.

extra notes:

*During very cold weather I found putting a hand-warmer, wrapped in a blanket, inside the cockpit kept our daughter's face and hands warm.

*I’ve run mostly on the pavement but took KidRunner on a smooth gravel canal road and my daughter slept the whole time even with the extra vibration.

*I ran for almost two hours during a pouring rainstorm and my daughter stayed completely dry under the provided rain/dust shield.

The KidRunner got here in here record time. The product is as brilliantly designed and well made as I was hoping it was going to be. Will was great to deal with, many thanks.

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.

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. 🏃‍♀️🐩

I received my KIDRUNNER a few weeks ago, & the least I can say is that it's trully amazing.
You're now able to run & share time with familly without compromize & avoiding injuries. That's priceless.

The stroller is well made with quality products. Once you find the "sweat spot", the ride is very smooth & the child loves it. The faster you run, the smoother the ride is.
I also customized mine with reflective stickers to get more visibility.

In a nutchel : GO FOR IT, you'll never regret it ;)
