Baby Jogger Company

The Baby Jogger Company was established in 1984 by Phil Baechler, a journalist and an avid runner. As he wanted to spend time with his son without forsaking his favorite pastime, he began taking his son out with him in his pram while jogging. He quickly discovered that standard baby prams were not made to endure the stress of long distance usage over various surfaces, so he designed a specialized stroller with features more conducive to running. He aptly named it the Baby Jogger. The Baby Jogger was constructed of a sleek, lightweight aluminum frame and three bicycle tires, making it the original three-wheeled stroller.

In 1986, the Baby Jogger Company developed the first jogging stroller made for two children called The Twinner. The original Baby Jogger and Twinner models were both designed for serious runners, as the wheels were bolted on and neither had a folding mechanism.

In 2003, the Baby Jogger Company was purchased by The Bag Boy Company, an industry leader in the golf push/pull cart, travel cover and bag markets.
