I am on the hunt for a special needs jogging stroller for Ruby. Her wheelchair is great, but it limits us as a family. It can't go on grass, up hills, on trails, in the sand...etc. There is no sun shade and it doesn't recline well for naps. Also, it is black so if Ruby is out in the sun in her chair, she bakes. Last summer, I often left Ruby inside on the video monitor while I was outside with Charlie and Tabatha, just because I didn't have a good place for her to sit outside.
A stroller like this would enable me to have Ruby out in the yard with the other kids and I all summer. I could push her around the yard, even around to the backyard, which means going down a grass covered hill. She could doze off in the shade while being outside with us. It would also allow us to go on trails, dirt, sand...etc. I think we would be able to do more as a family if we had a comfortable place for Ruby to join us.
So-- my friends with special needs kiddos---I need your advice/opinions. Any of you have a special needs jogging stroller? What kind is it? Do you like it? What don't you like? Is it worth the money?
Also-- anyone in the West Michigan area have one that I could try? I would hate to purchase one and then find out it wouldn't work for Ruby. It would be so nice to try something out first.
I would love some help on this! Let me know what you know :) Thanks!

We have the baby jogger Spirit. We bought the larger one at first and it was HUGE so we switched to the smaller one. Fits Abe perfectly. I am also able to take Gigi in it (not together of course)
It was expensive but has been great. It folds in 2 seconds and is pretty lightweight. He should last in it for several years. We do have to get creative with his legs because they don't rest "typically" on the foot plate. :) You know the drill.
