Ever since I found out I was pregnant with my first child I’ve wanted a quality jogging stroller. Before finding out I was pregnant, I started running with a group of co-workers. I would run about 12 miles a week, up to 6 miles each run, in an effort to lose weight and stay in shape. When I found out I was pregnant I stopped running as much and eventually stopped all together.
I assumed that if I got a jogging stroller I’d be able to pick right back up and start running again. But life got in the way, I didn’t purchase a jogging stroller, and the strollers I borrowed from neighbors and family just didn’t make the cut.
So here it is,4 years later, and I finally have my jogging stroller, the Joovy Zoom 360. And boy was it worth the wait!!
As soon as it arrived in the mail, I opened it and had it assembled in less than 15 minutes. Then my daughter and I started playing with it. We’ve had a lot of fun testing it out!
What I love about this jogger is that I didn’t have to purchase any optional accessories.
- Parent Organizer – Includes a neoprene parent organizer that holds 2 cups and has a zippered storage container.
- Rain/Wind Cover
- Wheel Pump
- 5 Point Harness
- Reflective
- Safety Tether
- Shock absorbing suspension
That means that the Joovy Zoom 360 is not only very affordable at $269.99, you also don’t have to purchase a lot of accessories after you purchase the stroller. They all come with it!
Weather Coverage
The first thing I noticed about the Joovy Zoom after assembling it is the large canopy. None of my previous strollers have the coverage that this stroller does. Not only does it completely shade my daughter and son when they’re in full sun, it’s also adjustable to fit perfectly with any situation.
The Zoom also comes with a rain cover that easily covers your child from the weather and keeps them nice and dry as you enjoy your workout. That means no excuses!
Easy Fold & Compact Storage
The Zoom is also very easy to fold. With the simple push and lift of two items, the Zoom folds compactly and securely together with the help of a latch. The Zoom fits perfectly in the trunk of my small compact car and our family station wagon.
The Zoom is also very light weight. It’s very easy to lift up into the trunk of my car and to carry from one place to another when storing it.
This stroller is built for running, walking, and everything in between.
For serious runners, the front wheel has an option to lock the swivel wheel in a straight position. It’s lightweight, steers easily with one hand, and includes a safety strap to wear while exercising. While walking around and more casual jogs, I’m able to unlock the straight wheel and use the swivel wheel for even easier mobility.
As I’m running, I don’t want to struggle with steering a stroller. The Zoom simply glides where I push it. I steer with one hand and hardly feel any resistance when I’m on the go. I can run at my own pace, change up speeds, and switch from one terrain to another without affecting the performance of the stroller.
When my daughter falls asleep on on walks and runs I can easily adjust the seat by pulling on the straps in the back. There isn’t just one or two positions, I can recline the seat back as far as I’d like until I reach the fully reclined position. This is perfect for when I know my daughter is sleepy but she refuses to lay back when the seat is in the reclined position. I just recline it a bit so she doesn’t even realize she’s reclined a bit. Then 5 minutes into our jog, she’s passed out!
Joovy offers 3 optional car seat adapters for the Zoom 360:
- Graco
- Peg Perego
- Chicco
And the cost of these adapters are very affordable! The fact that this is the only optional accessory you’ll need to buy is amazing.

If you’re looking for a stroller that will not only create a comfortable ride for your child as you exercise, but also act as your go to stroller for any occasion, the Joovy Zoom 360 is for you! We take ours everywhere! From the beach to the zoo to the amusement park, I’ve found the perfect stroller in the Joovy Zoom. And I have no excuses when it comes to exercising!
Since my Joovy Zoom arrived in the mail I’ve used it 5 out of 7 days in the week. And I now run 3 days a week! I know that this stroller will be key in keeping me on track and making my way towards my goal weight.

Wonderful Review! The stroller looks huge too! Not cumbersome, but like it can accommodate a larger child. I also love how compact it folds. From the looks of your picture it is very compact–not something you usually see with joggers. Thanks for the review!
I LOVE Joovy! THat is one awesome stroller. It is so easy to get around with a jogging stroller with two kids. Great review!
We love Joovy, always great products! I wish they would have had this when we needed it for our little ones a few years ago! This would make a great baby shower gift for a friend of ours. Thanks
We had a jogging stroller and it is so much easier to get around with than the conventional buggies. Mine didn’t have a swivel wheel which would have been another plus point!!
I do a lot of walking, especially since we only have one car now. I’m not much of a runner so I haven’t really thought about getting a jogging stroller, but the maneuverability sounds like it’d be good for me.
I have been walking about 15 miles a week and this would be a great addition. I take W with me but the stroller we currently have is difficult for me to maneuver.
