A lighter jogging stroller color absorbs less heat and provides greater visibility when running at dusk or dawn. The downside is that dirt and scuffs show more easily on the side and canopy fabric.

A darker shade absorbs more heat, and this makes the cabin area warmer for your child while running in direct sunlight.  Darker shades also makes the stroller harder to see  in the evening hours.  However, many of the serious running strollers - Chariot for example - come with reflective strips on the canopy and wheels.  Of course, the big upside is that unsightly stains are easily hidden.


If you are looking for fashion co-ordination then there are many jogging stroller color options. Many jogger brands offer limited edition models that feature special patterns for the inner lining and bedding. Of course you can follow our recommendation if the decision is completely yours. If you have toddlers, they may have some very definite ideas about the look of their new wheels! At any rate, when you take them along for the test drive you will be sure to get some input!
