Baby Jogger: Manufacturers of the finest strollers for more than 20 years





1984		Phil Baechler, a local newspaper journalist, establishes The Baby Jogger Company. As Baechler wanted the opportunity to spend time with his then infant son without forsaking his favorite pastime, he began bringing his son along with him in his baby carriage while jogging. He quickly discovered that standard carriages 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.
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. Over the next 10 years, various models were developed to accommodate different needs in the marketplace, including the Zipper, WalkAbout, FunAbout, Super Jogger, and Super Twinner.
1994		The Company released the next generation of jogging strollers, called the Baby Jogger 2 and the Twinner 2. Both models were highlighted by a folding feature which required no tools, as well as quick release wheels that were offered in three sizes. These features added a convenient element to the design of the strollers as consumers could now easily fold and store them, making them the most well received of all models thus far. This folding method later became our patented QuickFold technology that is incorporated into most of our jogging strollers today.
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, with executives David Boardman-CEO and Leighton Klevana-COO taking control of all operations for The Baby Jogger Company business.
2004		Boardman and Klevana established a parent company for their portfolio of brands, and announced the formation of Dynamic Brands. Dynamic Brands is now the parent company for The Bag Boy Company, The Baby Jogger Company, and AMF Golf – a collection of high quality and value priced men’s, women’s and junior golf products. Each respective company now operates as a division of Dynamic Brands.
2005		The company introduces a change to their City Series Strollers to include a swivel front wheel, making this stroller ideal for urban strolling. This newly designed stroller also has a switch to lock the wheel straight for brisk walking, or release it for easier maneuvering while shopping. The Q-Series and Performance series were launched this year, greatly widening the Baby Jogger Company’s diversity in jogging and strolling needs.
2006		Baby Jogger expanded their line of high quality strollers to include two superior bicycle trailers. The Tailwind trailer is a roomy bicycle trailer for two while the Switchback features the ability to convert between a bicycle trailer for two and a double jogger in a few easy steps. Both products incorporate Quick Fold technology allowing for easy storage and transportation needs and no tools are required to complete conversions.
Today		For 2007 a new addition has been made to the Baby Jogger family of child carriers. The ATS (All Terrain Swivel) has been created to bridge the gap between the City Series strollers and line of high performance joggers. This new product has a lockable front swivel similar to the City Series, but also incorporates larger rear wheels and an Air Glide suspension system to make this product just as appropriate for jogging as it is for urban strolling.
	The Baby Jogger Company continues to be the leading designer and manufacturer of high performance jog strollers. Thanks to a unique manufacturing process, Baby Jogger produces the finest quality jog strollers in the world. Each jogger and stroller is manufactured using a staged assembly process whereby all components are locked in place during each step of construction. It is this process that significantly reduces the margin for error, therefore ensuring proper alignment, unbeatable quality and long term durability. In addition, all Baby Jogger Strollers are designed to be extremely lightweight and aerodynamic, allowing air to flow freely though the stroller, reducing wind drag - ultimately making them easier to push.
