The Joovy Zoom 360 Jogging Stroller is an ideal choice for active parents who are always on the go, or have fitness goals they want to achieve, while still spending time with their child. The large, 16” wheels make it easy to maneuver over almost any terrain and the sleek design won’t leave you embarrassed to be seen with it. It has plenty of storage for those big diaper bags and is easy to fold and store when you’re done. It comes in three basic colors: black, blue and red. This no-nonsense stroller is perfect for early morning jogs, or brisk walks around the block after dinner. The oversized sun canopy will protect your child from the strong UV rays, wind and other elements. Whether you’re going over smooth asphalt or a trail made up of dirt, debris and twigs, this stroller will get you where you want to go in style. Most importantly, it is comfortable so your child will enjoy the ride, no matter how long. It should be noted that I have not tried this stroller myself. This review is based on data that I’ve gathered from independent review sites like Overstock, Amazon, personal blogs, diapers.com and other similar sites.

Features
This stroller has an oversized, adjustable canopy with a sun visor and viewing window, so you’ll always be able to see what your child is up to. For cloudy days, it is completely removable. It also has a quick-fold design that makes storage a cinch. It may be a tight fit in smaller vehicles, but mid-size and full size cars and trucks won’t have any issues with storage. It also fits in most standard sized closets. All three wheels are equipped with a quick-release feature which makes it even more compact when folded. The stroller also comes with a neoprene parent organizer complete with 2 cup holders and a zippered container that can hold smaller items like keys, cell phone, wallet, etc. The foot base is made of metal and has holes for dirt and crumbs to slide through. The handle bar is padded for a more comfortable grip, and is higher than most other strollers. Manufacturers must be getting the hint that dads use strollers too!
Handles, Wheels and Brakes
The handles are higher up on the stroller, making it more comfortable for tall people. Shorter people will find it is fine for them as well, it’s not too high that it makes it uncomfortable for those under 5’5”. Unfortunately, it is not adjustable. It does, however, have a rubberized grip, so no matter how long your walk or run for, your hands won’t get blisters and your grip will be more secure. There are 3 plastic wheels with alloy rims: the front is a 12” pneumonic (air filled) tire and the two rear wheels are 16” pneumonic. For walking or strolling, the front wheel can be put in full swivel mode; for jogging, it can be locked into place. The rear wheels have a one-step parking brake. The frame is made from 6061 aircraft aluminum, the footrest is also made of aluminum, not plastic like many other strollers. Each rear wheel operates independently on an air/spring suspension, ensuring a smooth ride. There is no rear axle, which ensures maximum stride length.
Storage
The Joovy Zoom 360 Jogging Stroller has plenty of storage, so you don’t have to worry about being out for the entire day. There is a large storage basket underneath that will fit a diaper bag, purse, or grocery bags. The parent tray has 2 cup holders and a small zippered compartment to hold keys and such. The cup holders are deep enough that they won’t spill when going over rough terrain. So you can have your coffee, tea, latte, or water without fear of spilling it. The storage basket on the bottom is low enough that it is still easily accessible, even when your child is sitting in it. There are some mesh pockets on each side of the stroller that can hold a drinking box or small snacks like crackers or cereal.
Seats
The seat is wider than most conventional strollers, making for a more comfortable and smooth for your child. The seat is also higher, giving your child a better view of his or her surroundings. The seatback height (seat to canopy) is 20”, so taller children won’t be cramped or hunched over. The five-point safety harness will ensure your child stays secure at all times. The back of the seat is padded for extra comfort. For older and taller children, the height can be adjusted so that their head does not hit the canopy. The seat has an unlimited recline position and can be done with one hand. The seats can be easily spot wiped with warm water and mild detergent or dish soap.
Size, Dimensions and Weight
This stroller is no lightweight, at almost 27 pounds. The assembled dimensions are 45″ x 25″ x 50″ (height, width, length) and the folded dimensions are 18″ x 26″ x 36.5″ (height, width, length). The maximum weight recommendation from the manufacturer is 75 pounds. The wheels are the quick release type, so the stroller can fit in most car trunks. It folds easily, using the ‘one hand’ fold mechanism that I’ve come to love. It also has a shoulder carrying strap.

Pros
The large pneumonic tires ensure a smooth and comfortable ride for your child and an energizing run for mom or dad.
The five-point harness ensures that your child is safe and secure while riding in the stroller.
It comes in several different colors, including black, blue and red.
The wider and taller seat means your child can sit up higher and will be more comfortable
The large canopy with sun shade and viewing window give your child protection from the elements, and gives you peace of mind knowing you can see them at all times.
The swivel front wheel makes it easy to maneuver in malls and around corners; the locking mechanism is perfect for those on the run.
Cons
For those looking for a lightweight stroller, this isn’t it. At 27 pounds, it’s certainly not the heaviest stroller on the market, but it’s not meant for quick trips to the mall either. What you lose in weight advantages you more than make up for in sturdiness, and other features.
It does take some assembly, and while it’s not rocket science, some may have issues putting it together; some consumers have said the instructions are not as detailed as they could be.
Accessories
The Joovy Zoom 360 Jogging Stroller comes with a custom rain cover/shield, a running leash and a tire pump. There are also reflective tape strips strategically placed on the canopy, on the bottom writing, and on the stitching. For parents on the prowl at night, it makes it much safer for both you and your child. Most manufacturers make you buy these accessories separately, but they are included with the price of this stroller, making it even more cost efficient. The parent tray/organizer is also included.
Consumer Reviews and Ratings
Most consumers who have purchased the Joovy Zoom 360 Jogging Stroller have been giving it excellent reviews. They love the versatility and durability of it; many have said they use it for their younger children as well as older siblings, without an issue. Some have said they wished it came in other colors, rather than ‘boring’ red, black or blue. All in all, though, it is a stroller that you can definitely put the miles on to. Parents have left reviews after having it for a year or so and say that it is just as good as the first day they bought it. That is something that you can’t say for most strollers.
