  "question": "Which jogging strollers have a front wheel that can be locked in place for running?",
  "answer": "BOB-dc Revolution Flex 3.0: After nine months, 280 km of running and 600 km of walking with a 14 kg toddler, the reviewer called it the most capable jogging stroller tested and a daily driver; the 16-inch air tires rolled over curbs and gravel, the front wheel locked for runs, and the fold was 23 percent smaller than the previous generation, but it is heavy and large folded.\nThule Urban Glide 3 (single): A reviewer shows the 16-inch rear wheels and explains that the front wheel can be fixed by turning a knob with a lock icon, which lengthens the stroller for a smooth run, and that a small dial adjusts tracking; unlocked, it swivels and can be pushed with one finger indoors. Testers stopped recommending this model as a jogger after finding a safety sheet in the box saying it is 'not suitable for running'. Thule replied that the wording is required in some countries, that the model meets ASTM F833 in the US and Canada and is designed for jogging, and that the front wheel must be locked for jogging. The site still records its run-ability test scores as very high.",
