Annoying wheel wobble
Every time my wife walks the baby the front wheel wobbles. When I take the stroller for a run I lock the front wheel but it pulls to one side. A very expensive stroller with too many issues.

Great stroller with 1 disappointing problem
I love this stroller for absolutely every feature.... Except one. One of the reasons I purchased this stroller was because I liked how far the canopy cover came down. Well- don't expect that to happen if you plan to use the carseat adapter when your baby is tiny. The adapter makes the car seat sit too high and the canopy is completely blocked. I live in a city with lots of wind and unpredictable weather so I really would have used the canopy to cover the open part of the car seat. Other than that, I'm very happy with this stroller. It's awesome for going over any terrain, very easy to fold (easier than most others I've seen) and easy to clean

Shaky front wheel- very annoying
I had this stroller for less than a year when the front wheel started shaking. I ALWAYS locked the front wheel while jogging, so the shaking wasn't from that. Because the stroller was within the warranty period, BabyJogger sent out another front wheel and I replaced it; however, after a few months, that one started shaking too. Way too much money to spend on a stroller that will only work with a locked front wheel, which makes it VERY difficult to handle and steer. Very disappointing, especially since It appears from looking at the other reviews that others have had this same problem. Extremely disappointed in this product.

LOVE IT!
I bought this stroller towards the end of the summer 2015. I take a stroller strides class outside and was using my basic stroller which wasnt easy to push on grass. My husband and i researched for about a month on different jogging strollers, and this was the one we thought was the best. And i absolutely LOVE it! Its such a easy push across every surface, i love the air vents on the sides of the canopy, i have taken it to the beach and was able to push it through sand pretty easily. The basket underneath is a decent size compared to others, its easy to get the diaper bag in and out. And i like the one step fold. I highly recommend this to anyone who plans on doing more than walking on sidewalks.

very durable
I've had mine for 5 years now and it's still going strong,Its been thrown all ovwr the place.The only flaw is that it is heavy but a lot less than the competition. I love the quick fold and smooth ride and the deep seat. My 10 yr old fits very comfortable inside and I can still push him with ease. It has a large removable mesh basket underneath fantastic for groceries. Beat stroller we have ever purchased

Amazing Stroller!
We absolutely love our Baby Jogger Summit. It has excellent handling and is so easy to push. I love the one handed folding option. The quality of the stroller is beyond compare! It's taken a beating from my children and it still looks brand new! Super comfy for the kids to sit in too, no complaints from them! Love, love, love my Baby Jogger! I recommend one to everyone!

Overall good stroller
Pros of this stroller:
Great handling
Easy fold
All fabric pieces are machine washable (!! Great feature!)
Cons:
Hood isn't quite big enough (doesn't go down as far as my City Mini GT)
Small basket
Doesn't clip together when folded so it's a bit awkward
Seat is always slightly reclined
The child tray (purchased separately) sits quite high.
Expensive.
Bottom line: I bought this stroller second hand and for the price I paid, I'm happy with it. But if I were paying full price I probably would have gone with the Bob Flex.

Smooth Ride and So Durable
I LOVE this stroller. We started using it when my son was 2 weeks old and are still using it... he turns 4 this summer. It's a comfy ride for him. The way the recline works is great - you can adjust it gently if your child falls asleep while you're out and it doesn't wake them up. The vents on the side and back help keep them ventilated, which was wonderful in our warm climate. The brake is very handy if you're on a hill or need to stop running quickly. And the fact that the front wheel can lock or swivel makes the stroller even more versatile. We primarily use this outside, but it's also narrow enough and easy enough to steer that it works well in an indoor shopping environment, as well. The only negative thing I can think of is that the handle bar has split where I usually hold it (I guess from pulling when turning?). Overall, this is a WONDERFUL stroller and absolutely worth every penny!

I purchased my Summit used, and it's now 6 yrs old and still in great shape. I jog 2x or 3x a week, and it's my favorite "baby purchase."

Perfect for running/trails
This was our 1st stroller (given to us at a shower) and it is great for walking/running/trails. Easy fold and comfy seat! Love the shade coverage too.

Have this stroller for my little boy. Very to use on hiking trails! I love this stroller and definitely recommend it to someone who wants to use a stroller on terrain that's not just pavement.

BabyJoggerFan!!
I bought the summit x3 from Amazon without ever seeing it in person and I have not been disappointed at all! So easy to use on the go and for running! We bought the attachment for our britax infant seat which made it so convenient while she was not able to sit on her own. The sunshades cover her up perfectly while we out outside. Can not say enough good things about it! We love the BabyJogger brand!!

Horrible terrible shaking unusable
I love everything about this stroller except that it is unusable for running 10 months after purchase. Slow, fast, smooth terrain or rough is shakes so bad it is hard to push forward. Absolutely unacceptable for an expensive jogging stroller. DO NOT BUY if you intend to run. I have encountered two other moms with the exact same problem with their x3 and no one has a solution.

Rugged and Excellent for tall toddlers!
I just came back from a trip to Panama and this was the ultimate test for this stroller. We walked through mud, gravel, pot holes, lots of pot holes and our stroller was my back saving grace. I love that I can close the stroller with one handle which helped get through security gates, I never used the break before until this visit while walking down many steep hills with my 50 lbs.+ three year old, and she was able to nap in the stroller while we continued to visit places. I am impressed with the quality and crafstmanship of this stroller.

Speed wobble
I've had this stroller for just over a year. My baby just turned 1... I have loved stroller up until recently when I started actually jogging with it. Whenever I go above a fast walk the front wheel shakes really badly. Essentially I can not jog or run with my very expensive jogging stroller. I'm bummed. So far haven't found a fix for it.

Developes a wobble
Be sure to read your manual carefully. If you do not lock the front wheel, and you jog, or go too fast, you will cause the stroller to develop a wobble. After it starts, it will do it even at walking speeds. Also, I had a problem with the rear brake not staying latched. It released once while my daughter was in it and she rolled down a slight decline. Luckily she was ok as it rolled to a stop while I was chasing it. They replaced the frame for us and that fixed the problem. They only replaced the front wheel for us once and now we have to buy a new one to stop the wobbling. For a mountainous stroller this one does not pass my test.

Needs major changes....
I loved this stroller when I first purchased it, the seat reclines all the way, it folds easily, it is a bit lighter than some other joggers, and had the hand break. I spent days agonizing over reviews for this and another one and I wish I would have gone with the other choice. All of those features are great, and my kid loves it, but all the reviews are correct, after a few months it begins to shake uncontrollably if you leave the front wheel unlocked. I mainly run on sidewalks, with the occasional bumps or cracks in pavement, and the shaking still happens. The shaking is intermittent, but enough to prevent you from being able to run with it. I've submitted a claim to see what they can fix, and will update when I hear back, but overall am disappointed.

Horrible Front Wheel Shaking!!
When I first started using the Summit X3 with my newborn on maternity leave (with infant car seat adapter), I loved it! Then the front and I thought back wheels starting shaking (after a few weeks). At first, it was just over a rock or turning a corner but now it is literally every 10-20 seconds going on a straight away. It is absolutely infuriating. It wasn't that bad at first but got progressively worse. We tried putting air in the tires, taking the tires off and readjusting but nothing has worked. I didn't use it for awhile as I went back to work and did not have to take my son. But now I have used it for 9 days straight with him and I am pregnant again and it is a nightmare. The only thing that gets it to stop is to put weight on the push bar or lift up the bar which is beyond annoying. I was getting ready to call customer service but after reading these comments, I guess I won't as it doesn't appear they have a solution. I thought I was going crazy but am somewhat comforted knowing I am not the only one with this frustrating problem. Not sure what I am going to do when baby #2 comes. Does anyone have any other jogger recommendations for one that doesn't shake!?

love love love
I absolutely adore this stroller!! From everyday use to our morning workouts, this stroller was a must have for our family. It has great storage capabilities, making any shopping trip delightful or taking the "necessities" along a breeze. Each feature on this stroller was well thought out and really caters to the needs of the parent and child. It's ability to fold up with just the tug of a strap was a huge deal maker for us. I also purchased the car seat adapter, tray, and parent console. The car seat adapter was great not only for safety purposes, but it kept my infant at perfect height for easy access to her.

Perfect for a stroll or on the run!
Whether you're walking to the the park or jogging through trails, the summit x3 maneuvers easily through any terrain. It's a must here in AZ! The x3 is so versatile and smooth. We love it! :)

Great stroller
We use this stroller for everyday use and jogging. It is a great stroller and my daughter is comfortable in it. The storage basket really comes in handy. I've had some issues with the front wheel shaking and the break releasing itself. These don't happen all the time but are issues that I wish weren't there. Other than that it's great. I used it as a travel system with my Mesa car seat and it worked really well with its smooth ride for my daughter when she was an infant.

Smooth & durable stroller
We love the Summit! Durable, smooth ride, even over grass & snow. It has flown with us many times and has always survived and been nothing but convenient. And it is obviously great for jogging. Only regret is that we did not do more research on the add on accessories. Its disappointing that we can't attach a glider for a toddler. This stroller is not only for fitness, but more for our everyday life, and would be handy in that regards. Still no regrets! Amazing stroller!

Front wheel shakes
I loved this stroller.... It swivels great, easy to fold up, etc. but a few months after using it, the front wheel shakes ALL. THE. TIME. I have to lock the wheel to even take a stroll, which is a pain because you can't turn corners easily at all. My son hates when the wheel shakes because the entire stroller shakes. It drives me crazy too. I wish there was some way to fix it, but from what I've read there's no real solution. Baby jogger doesn't even provide replacements, which I find ridiculous considering the cost of the stroller... I guess because they don't even know how to solve the problem? It makes me sad because I really like this stroller otherwise, but bc of the shaky wheel, I don't think I'd recommend it.

Horrible stroller
I bought this stroller 6 months ago and the front wheel swivels and the brake doesn't work. Our son almost rolled into the street. It looks like these are common issues with this stroller.
