Stroller weight capacity determines what you'll be able to lug around in the jogging stroller.

Storage will become a bigger issue than you think. You'll be surprised at the stuff you’ll attempt to haul around.

Let's see: diapers, wipes, 25lb bags of charcoal, drinks, snacks, cell phone, keys, toys…).

Therefore the ability to load up your jogging stroller (i.e. stroller weight capacity) is important. In addition, having a higher weight limit means than you can use the stroller longer as your child gets older and heavier.


Two important things to remember:

1. Stroller weight capacity limits matches up pretty closely with the quality of construction (i.e., the more you can carry the better the construction). The jogging strollers with welded metal frames can support much higher loads than the ones with metal tubes connected with plastic joints

2. One noticeable difference between the low and high-end jogging strollers is that the mid to low-end brands usually have a total cargo + passenger weight limit of maybe 40-50 pounds. The high-end jogging strollers can usually handle 75-100 pounds. . When you are doing your math, remember to factor in the total weight – i.e. passengers + cargo!
