Baby Jogger Summit X3 Jogging Stroller Jet

I bought what I'll call the original Baby Jogger in 1990 when our oldest was born. We jogged many, many miles and 5 and 10K's while I was stationed at Camp Pendleton. My daughter loved it, as did my wife and I. When our first grandchild was born in 2020, I wanted to purchase one for our oldest daughter who ran all those miles with me as a child. My online search began with Baby Jogger. When I found the site, the X3 Summit was out of stock; and many of the reviews were not positive. I checked back a couple of months later and they were still out of stock. I ended up purchasing the BOB All Terrain Pro, which had very good reviews. I bought another one for our other daughter when she had her first child. They worked fine. Then came the game changer!! I received an email that the X3 was back in stock, and I immediately bought one as we watch both of our grandchildren during the week. My wife and I wanted to have our own, instead of transferring the BOB's almost daily. Our BabyJogger X3 summit is FANTASTIC, and we like it a lot more than the BOB strollers. Our daughters think so too. It's not as bulky and seems to be more responsive when jogging. I don't have anything critical to say. I'm guessing that improvement were made during this out of stock period. We are just as happy with your product today as we were 30+ years ago. Thank you, Baby Jogger!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Stellar Product Testing Panel in exchange for my honest and thorough review. I was very excited to receive the Baby Jogger Summit X3. We live an active lifestyle and are always on the go. This stroller is fabulous and fits our needs perfectly. The assembly process of the stroller was a breeze. Aside from popping on the wheels and adding the canopy, it came almost entirely preassembled. I did get confused with how to put on the back wheels at first. However, once you realize what part to pop off-it’s super easy. I wish the directions just told you to do that, it would have saved me a few minutes of guessing! With that being said, the directions could have included words in my opinion. I’m not a huge fan of picture only instructions. The stroller itself is beautiful. I love the gold accents. It is really a sharp and stylish looking stroller! It is sturdy and well made. The thick wheels are durable and are suitable for all terrains. The stroller has a nice sized under basket for ample storage which is a huge plus for a mom with multiple children. The stroller has a rubber handle covering instead of the fabricy covering you often see on a lot of other strollers. I like this because it would definitely weather wear and tear well and hold up nicely. The hand brake is a huge plus for me and is by far my favorite feature of the stroller! We live in a very hilly area, so it comes quite in handy while picking up speed while running down the hilly roads by us. One thing I don’t really love is the look of the cord hanging across the whole handle bar. I wish there was a way of concealing it a bit more under the handle. I love that the stroller leaves out the guess work for folding and unfolding. There are not any hidden levers or buttons for opening and closing. There is simply a “pull here” strap in the middle of the seat. I won’t ever have to google this! I love an easy to figure out stroller! The stroller ride itself was very smooth. My little girl loves going for short runs, long walks, or strolls simply around the driveway in it. She is always crawling up into her new stroller. It’s comfortable for her and she’s very happy in it. As I stated earlier, it folds so nicely. This makes it easy to pop in the car for errands or outings. The front wheel locks and unlocks easily to transition between jogging and stroller mode making it a very versatile stroller. We plan to get quite a bit of use out of this great stroller for all of our various needs and activities. Please see below for a condensed pros and cons list concerning this product. Pros: -easy assembly -folds and unfolds simply -beautiful and stylish-big fan of the gold accents! -sturdy/durable tires -hand brake-the best feature! -rubber handle -smooth ride -transitions between stroller and jogging mode with the unlocking/locking of front wheel-very versatile Cons: -directions need words -brake cord-wish it was concealed (kind of gets in the way and feels awkward) Thank you so much Stellar Product Testing Panel reviews for allowing me the opportunity to review this product. Highly recommend you checking it out!

Exactly what I was looking for. The only thing I don’t like it’s the new break system.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was lucky enough to receive this stroller from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This is by far my favorite stroller of all times. It is so versatile, and can be used anywhere. Every other jogging stroller I have used has a fixed front wheel making it hard to do anything other than just use it for running or exercise. This stroller however allows you to lock and unlock the front wheel making it useable for everything. I love the large wheels making any terrain seem like.no big deal. This is also the easiest stroller to fold, you just lift it up by a handle in the seat and it folds right up making it easy to quickly get it into the car when you're on the go. This is definitely the stroller I will be recommending to everyone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This stroller is absolutely stunning and the features are great! I love the hand break that is near the handle bar. It makes it very easy to slow down the stroller safely and effectively. The canopy is large and did well at protecting my son from the sun. My favorite part of the stroller was how easy the stroller was to fold! It is literally a strap loop that you pull and lift and the whole stroller folds with it. So easy! I really enjoyed how I was able to maneuver the stroller and go down/up ledges with ease. My son seems to be comfortable in the stroller and has had no complaints so far! Switching from strolling/jogging mode was easy enough once you figure out how to operate it. The one problem I did have with the stroller was that it started squeaking after a week of use. It squeaked for a couple of uses but then magically disappeared this last use. Hopefully that was just a one-off and doesn't occur again. Overall though, I am loving the stroller so far! I was given this stroller to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am absolutely in love with this jogging stroller. I have been a professional runner and have gone through so many different expensive jogging strollers. All of them caused injuries and wouldn't help my posture or were uncomfortable for my toddler or were just too hard to manage. A fellow runner suggested this one to me and it has really made all the difference. It works very well on different terrains and cuts in the sidewalk or branches. The hand brakes and the possibility of locking the swiveling of wheels makes all the difference. The canopy is very well designed and the seat has enough cushioning. My kid doesn't complain anymore on long runs in hot weather. This has also become my favorite stroller for anything, not only running. It's very easy to fold with one hand and fits very well into our sedan. I am also very excited that it can work as a travel system for my second baby. I really think that this is all a mom needs for all her stroller needs. It's a travel system, jogger stroller and easy everyday stroller. It also seems to be very durable as I have taken it on so many runs but it still looks great! Thank you to the Stellar product testing panel for providing me with this stroller to try and review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this stroller in loved the sleek design of this stroller. The suspension helps it move so smoothly across various terrains. The maneuverability definitely outperforms others on the market. That is one of my top favorite things about this stroller. It is so crucial and so important. My next favorite thing about this stroller is how breathable and ventilated it is with the help of the large UV canopy. I also really love the canopy's peekaboo window which allows me to peek inside at my baby at all times for a vital peace of mind. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this stroller.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this stroller to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. The overall design is pretty sleek with the size being pretty narrow. It has decent size rear wheels with good traction and the front wheel is real responsive with the movement. So far I have only used the stroller mode on the jogger, with plans on hitting up the bike trails so that i can get a good glide on the cement. My 2 year old son fits really well in the stroller and I haven’t had any issues with getting him buckled in and out. The fold of the stroller is really nice and easy. The weight isn’t too bad to move put in and out of the car as well. My favorite features of the stroller are the hand brake and the nice oversize rear wheel. This is the first time I have had a jogging stroller and the brakes are a nice safety feature to have, even when using in the store. They are very responsive and easily accessible when pushing. The rear wheels are very nice and got it a good glide when pushing. They also look like they will come in handy when I hit the trails soon! This is a such stroller and I can’t wait to finish using all the features!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was lucky enough to experience the Summit x3 in collaboration with Stellar Product Testing Panel. My baby girl is 10 mos and LOVED riding in this stroller. The set up was super easy and the one handed fold could truly not be easier. It took me a little practice to figure out turns but we got there! Strolling for walks and jogs is so smooth. The harness feels super safe and fits baby comfortably. It was easy to recline the seat and extend the canopy if desired. My husband says “that stroller looks like a Cadillac” haha, but the sleek design really does make me proud to stroll baby in it. I was concerned it might be too bulky but it fits in the trunk easily! I kept forgetting to photograph baby in it while we were out but I did snap this photo of her in our kitchen in her pajamas so you can get an idea of how baby fits in it and how comfortable she looks. I would highly recommend this stroller for anyone looking to stroll or jog due to the ease of use and style.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using the Summit X3 for a couple of weeks now and really enjoy it so far. I've gone on runs with it on roads, paved trails, and sidewalks. We also use it on walks around the neighborhood and around town. Additionally, I took it to my older children's soccer games and it was so easy to push my baby up the grassy hill I had to walk up to get to their soccer fields. The gold trim and unique New York City design under the sun shade looks so chic and I enjoy being out and seen with it. My little one is 14 months old. I have mostly used it with him and it's been really fun using it for our jogs together. We went on a run the other day around the neighborhood and my neighbors walking by said that my toddler was really enjoying it. He apparently had a huge grin on his face. I love how smooth the stroller is while running. I barely have to think about it. It feels so weightless and it doesn't veer to the sides when running. Locking the front wheel is also easy and convenient, which helps when switching between jogging mode and neighborhood walks. My favorite features of this stroller are the one handed fold, large storage pocket on the back of the stroller, the storage basket on the bottom, the huge shade with peekaboo windows, and the deep recline on the seat. My child has had no problems napping in this stroller because of how far back the seat reclines and how dark it gets for him with the large shade all the way open. This stroller really offers such a smooth ride that I've found myself going for more runs with my toddler recently just to use this stroller. It's such a fun experience for both of us. My older two wanted to join us the other day so we did a family neighborhood run with all three kids. They had a blast and I really enjoyed it as well. It's only been a couple of weeks, but I've had no issues with the stroller. The wheels offer a smooth, weightless ride, the hand brake and wrist strap make me feel secure running down hills, and it's just a great around town walking and errand stroller as well. The only negative I will say is that it is quite heavy for me. I'm still able to lift it in and out of my very tall SUV though by myself, so it's not a dealbreaker. Overall, I'm so glad that the Stellar Product Testing Panel sent me one to try in exchange for an honest review. I would definitely recommend this jogging stroller.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This jogging stroller was not my favorite, I used it for both jogging and stroller mode. After one use the wheel on the right had an extremely bad squeak. I did use some oil to help with that, but I did not expect it to start having problems after one use. Then we took it to the mall and used it as a stroller and noticed that the right brake doesn’t even work. I’ve only had this jogging stroller for one week and I’m already having problems. The pros of this stroller is the mesh, I love that my son can see me! He enjoys being able to look up and fully see me and I can see him! Also the canopy is very long and keeps the sun off of him well. This stroller was great to use while jogging besides the squeak. I can easily push over bumps and the push is very smooth. I also love the strap attachment on the handle bar. The stroller is easy to fold, it’s light weight and doesn’t take up much room in the trunk! I plan to continue using this jogging stroller for my runs and errands. Thank you Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this stroller.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a smooth ride! This stroller has been amazingly easy to push for both walks and runs. Our neighborhood has so many curvy sidewalks and it was easy to push and steer around corners even with one hand. And it rides so smoothly my 10 month old fell asleep on just a short run. One of the absolute best features is the one handed handle fold up. Being able to quickly and smoothly fold up the stroller with only one hand has been a dream. Plus it stays folded up as you lift it making it so easy to get into the back of the car. Seat features: • The harness is very convenient and the best part is that it's easy to unbuckle with one hand. I like that it can grow with the child and be a full harness with shoulder straps for a baby or just a waist harness for older kids. It's a little tricky to figure out at first but once you figure out how it connects, it's very simple. • I absolutely love the ventilation in this stroller when the seat back is lowered/reclined. When we're out and about in the summertime and feel like my baby is safer and cooler because there is airflow coming through. Just keep in mind that the mesh is just there when the seat is reclined so there's less ventilation when the seat is upright. • The clip feature to recline the seat back is great since it can be done with one hand. The downside is that it's a little tough to get it back up when the baby is in the seat, even with 2 hands. • The 2 windows in the canopy are so nice to have so that you can see into the stroller even if the canopy is partially closed. Other features • The storage basket under the stroller is much easier to access than other jogging strollers and is a great size. • The emergency strap has a velcro to make it easy to tuck away when you don't need it. I was so glad I didn't have to worry about that dangling down and getting in the way while I was running. • It's so easy to lock and unlock the front wheel with a quick click. The biggest downside is the hand brake. It just feels completely in the way and gives you no easy place to hold the handle. The brake cord blocks most of the handle and the brake doesn't seem necessary since there is an emergency wrist strap. It's possible to move it to a different spot on the handle but to be honest, we might just take it off. Overall, this stroller I was given to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel has been amazing. I love being able to get out for a run with my little one and know they are safely strapped in, comfortable and that my chance to exercise will be smooth and enjoyable for both of us.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this stroller to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I have a 4 month old and a 2 year old at home. I find myself using this stroller often due to how smooth it is and how easily it handles the different terrain. The instructions were very easy to follow to assemble. This is saying a lot because my husband usually puts things together. Now back to the stroller I was impressed with the hand operated brake. My 2 year old ran out in front of me and due to this feature I was able to miss her. I felt and was absolutely in control. Additionally, I do appreciate how EASILY this folds. This is great for a busy mom. Overall I’d recommend this if you’re looking for everyday stroller and/or jogging.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife and I have been searching for a jogging stroller for a while and I received this stroller as part of the stellar product testing panel. When I opened the box and started to put the stroller together I was surprised by the quality of the materials; we have a few other strollers but this stroller feels high end in terms of the materials and styling. My wife immediately commented on the rose gold and black color scheme and said she loved it. It took me about 20 minutes to put together and the instructions were fairly straightforward. I did have a little trouble putting in the straps in the back, but with some maneuvering it wasn't that bad and overall the assembly was easy and quick. Using this stroller is SMOOTH. It absorbs the bumps in sidewalks extremely well compared to some of the other strollers we've used. My 15 mo son was happy the whole time and I felt confident he wasn't being jostled around and hurting his neck by big bumps. We've mainly used it for family walks but I did take it for a quick jog around our neighborhood and it was just as smooth running as it was walking, plus the hand break system is very responsive and I felt like a great safety feature. Folding up this stroller is SUPER easy and can be done with one hand while holding a little in the other, which is very helpful when you have 3 little kids. Overall I'm really liking the smooth ride and sleek look of this stroller so far, I've even gotten a few compliments. Would definitely recommend to someone looking for a jogging stroller or even for a stroller for everyday walks as it has worked out great for that as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really hesitant about this stroller. I previously had a different jogging stroller with my older son and I thought this wouldn’t be significantly better but it really is. The main thing I noticed first is the responsiveness of the stroller. It gently turns without a lot of work from the operator- my old one feels a little difficult to turn. It also just feels like an incredibly smooth ride, and my 1 year old has already had a few naps in it which is great. I also had never had a hand break before and I don’t think I can go back to only having the foot break (this has both). You can even lock the front wheel from the handlebar which blows my mind. But really, the best part is that it is GORGEOUS. It is truly just the nicest looking stroller I’ve ever seen. It has these amazing gold accents and when you flip the flap on top over to see your little one it has this incredible gold map design. I’ve never seen anything like it through 3 kids and 5 total strollers. I absolutely recommend this. I feel so lucky to be a part of the stellar panel who gave me this to try! My other strollers also don’t have a great amount of space underneath. This one holds my big backpack with room to spare and definitely does not jostle out. I would say the only negative I’ve been able to find is that it doesn’t stand up when folded. It does fold really flat though and is easy to fold and unfold so that’s not even close to a deal breaker for me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this wonderful stroller from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. The summit x3 takes the best of comfort and functionality with its innovative design and ease of use. Whether you are taking the kids to the park or on a vacation, this stroller will make every experience that much greater. We love the “pull to fold” feature which allows for quick and easy storage in a single lift up. The bicycle wheel and tires allow for on road and off road jogging and leisurely walks. I was blown away by how quiet and light the stroller is as well. Overall an amazing stroller which will quickly become your go-to!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Summit X3 stroller is the perfect stroller to take for a jog with your little. It works great for jogging, running or even just a light walk. It is lightweight and very manageable. I love how light and compact it is. It is very easy to get in and out of the car and perfect for a day at the park.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow! This stroller is stylish and functional. I was very impressed with the feel of this stroller. It glides very easily on all terrain - in the grocery store, sidewalk, and off-road exploring. My daughter is on the taller side for her age and fit very comfortably in the stroller. The buckles are very easy to use and the one-hand fold is amazing. I own another stroller that is one hand fold but this stroller surpasses it in the way it is easy to fold and carry one-handed. I am big on safety and think moms should not have their hands too full entering/exiting the vehicle, or take too much time. This stroller’s one handed fold made it a smooth, quick transition into and out of the vehicle with my kids. When folded the stroller is compact enough to only take up half of my cargo area, which is a plus since I often also have groceries or kids stuff there too. One of the features I really liked was that the sides of the canopy open to vent. We live in Texas so this was a nice surprise to keep my little one cool! I was able to use the canopy for shade and open the sides to airflow. I didn’t experience any disappointment or frustration when using this stroller in the various modes and on various terrain - we really enjoy it. This was our first time using a Baby Jogger stroller and it was a nice change for us. Overall I’d give this stroller 5 stars - it’s trendy, sleek, functional, glides smoothly, good safety features like the hand brake, etc. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this stroller.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the ruggedness of this stroller - large diameter wheels with rugged tires for rocks and roots, and quality rubber handlebar for a great grip. This is the first stroller I’ve owned I think I could actually go hiking with! Jogging mode has all the right safety features - easy lay-back, locking front wheel, wrist strap, and hand break. Love the one-handed fold and it’s relatively light and lay-flat, especially for how large the wheels are. And if you need to get it really small, the larger rear wheels pop off in one click. If I were to give 2 small criticisms: I don’t like the way baby jogger buckles come apart into 5 points rather than 3 (it’s just aggravating to me to piece it all back together every time - I have a second baby jogger stroller and it’s the same), and I wish it could stand up in the folded position for easier storage. Aside from those small critiques, it’s a fantastic jogger and I’m looking forward to a lot more use. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for letting me try out this innovative new all terrain jogger and share my thoughts!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this stroller to try. I have used multiple jogging strollers (both single and double) throughout my three children’s childhood and the Summit X3 had some impressive features that others I have used did not. The compact size when folded and the ease of the one-handed fold was impressive and makes it my favorite single jogging stroller to also multitask as an everyday stroller. The canopy offered multiple sunroofs (including one that made it very easy to see my kiddo while still running) and ventilation. It is a very smooth ride and very easy to push and maneuver, both while jogging and with everyday use at a store. The hand brake is a feature something I hadn’t seen before on a jogging stroller but in practicality I’m not sure it is necessary- at least not for the type of running I’m doing (not a lot of steep hills and mostly jogging, not sprinting). It is a bit awkward to carry once folded up. To have it fold as small as possible the front wheel needs to be released/swiveling, in the fixed position it won’t fold small enough to use the storage strap that will keep the stroller from opening again but once I figured that out it was much more compact. It assembled easier than any kids item I’ve ever put together, from opening the box to strolling in 10 minutes and that was with the ever so helpful assistance of my 16 month old. The stroller fits my youngest (16mo) perfectly. My 4 year old didn’t like sitting in it with the canopy open as her head was too close to the top, but with it pushed back and after easily adjusting the level of the shoulder straps on the 5 point harness it also fit her well. Overall, this is a great stroller for exercise and for daily use!
