Baby jogger summit x3 problems?

Question

I'm really interested in the Baby Jogger Summit X3 and it has many great qualities but the reviews all say the stroller shakes and the front wheel causes trouble after some weeks/months or when jogging. Can anyone confirm or deny this or tell me more about it? It's a shame if that is the only problem!

Answer

The baby jogger does shake when the front wheel isn't locked and your speed walking/running/too much weight on the handle bar, no matter if it's brand new or not. Mines 6yrs old almost and it's always done it. It's because it's a jogging stroller and there's not a lot of weight for the wheel to remain in constant contact with the ground to prevent it. Sometimes when I'm walking I lock the front wheel and just speed walk if I'm running late. Harder to turn and steer it but no shake.

Answer

I read those reviews as well and still bought mine. I haven't had any issues, but from owning the stroller, I can tell you there is a way to adjust the alignment of the front wheel, which should (in theory--again, I haven't had any problems) correct any wobbling. I read that some owners added a washer to where the wheel connects to solve that issue as well.

Answer

I haven't had any problems with mine wobbling. The alignment of the front wheel was slightly off and pulled to the right when locked and jogging, but a quick turn of a bolt and it straightened up and jogs straight now.
