Anybody buy a good cheap jogging stroller they'd recommend?

I'm not a runner anymore but I would like to be able to exercise with Ellie when I want to. It'd be great to roller blade with her but I can't do that in the regular stroller. Since my athletic tendencies come on so infrequently I can't justify spending much but if there's a decent one out there I'd love to have it for now and then. thanks!

I have and LOVE the Baby Trend LX one.
This one is $120. It's the second tier one and is more expensive than the first one because it has the front swivel wheel.
The cheaper one for $89 has a stationary front wheel that doesn't turn so if you aren't running, it's very hard to manover.

I have a Dreamer Design stoller that i like, but it was kind of expensive. A few of my friends have the Jeep stroller that you can buy in BRU and they all like it.

I just have to mention this in case you hadn't thought of it...jogging stollers usually come with warnings not to use them while roller blading. If you happen to fall you can't hold onto the stroller and also there's a natural tendency to grab onto something when you fall and you can end up tipping the stroller. With that being said, if you are going to roller blade with a stroller, I'd at least look for one that has a hand brake or else I don't know how you would stop the stroller if you needed to stop quickly. Also check to see if the front wheel is stationary or a swivel wheel. The strollers intended for serious running will have a stationary front wheel so if you want to turn you have to lift up the front wheel a bit, which probably wouldn't be great for your balance if you're on roller blades.
