I'm looking to purchase a single jogging stroller - not to fancy, but sturdy, folds easy, etc. Looking for brands/models that you like, hopefully under $200, but wouldn't mind buying a used one either.

We have the BOB Ironman. If you're using it just for running then this one is great but if you want to use it as a regular stroller too then get the BOB Revolution (you can lock the front tire for running and then unlock it for regular use). We got it as a gift so I'm not sure on the price but you can probably get one used.

I have to say that I got my money's worth from the BOB stroller. I have used it for four years. IT is lightweight and of great quality. It is worth the money.

Good luck.

I have been looking at jogging strollers as well and, while the BOB Revolution comes highly recommended it will set you back about $350 or more. You may be able to find a used on on Craigslist, Once Upon a Child, Play it Again Sports, or perhaps even go to an upscale neighborhood and scope out baby/child consignment shops.

What is your style of running/jogging or are you just looking for a jogging-style stroller? If you are a pretty serious runner, from what I have been told you will want two main things: a front wheel that can swivel but also be locked into place and dual brakes (as opposed to one bar).

Two of my co-workers are pretty serious runners (5+ miles on each run) and have told me that the In-Step brand sucks and the Jeep brand is okay. Again, I think it has a lot to do with your style of training.
