At what age can you start running/jogging with an infant?

I'm looking at double jogging strollers so I can start hitting the pavement again, but I was just wondering what the consensus is for running with an infant. 6 months and older? Or is just based on their head control?

DS is only 4 months old, but he's a pretty sturdy guy at 18+ lbs with good head control.

Just curious what some of you girls have done. Thanks! Chat Icon

My SIL had said the baby had to be six months to go in a jogging stroller. She runs all the time with her girls.

I think most of the jogging strollers suggest 6+ months... that's when I started last year...

Same here. DS is 4 and a half months and is 19+ lbs with excellent head control, but I know he's not ready for the jogging yet.

Plus, we discovered yesterday our jogging stroller doesn't fit in the trunk of my Honda. Chat Icon So I will be selling that boy on Craigslist soon and looking for another one...
