Home to endless waterfront paths, breathtaking beaches, and stunning views across English Bay – it’s no wonder why so many locals and visitors alike take their exercise routine to this seaside neighbourhood. But if you think having a baby means having to put the Kitsilano lifestyle (and all those great outdoor activities that go along with it) on hold, think again.
With the right baby products, active parents don’t have to sacrifice their day-to-day health regime to spend time with their little one. Today’s high-performance jogging strollers and bike trailers allow you to take in all the running and cycling you can handle while soaking up those scenic city sites, North Shore Mountains, and dreamy sunsets over the Pacific.
Stay active with jogging strollers
Running is one of those activities that many residents in Kitsilano just love to do. Whether it’s zipping along Kits Beach or cruising down West 4th Avenue, nothing clears the mind and gets those feel-good endorphins flowing like a good run.
Are you a new parent craving your favourite exercise? This is where jogging strollers come in.
Made to handle bumpy sidewalks, dirt roads, and other rugged surfaces, these specialized strollers were made to easily navigate over all kinds of terrains.
Jogging strollers come with a ton of handy features to keep you effortlessly sprinting along – and baby safe and comfortable. Most of the best models will include three large wheels, motion-absorbing suspension, safety tether, parking brake, canopy, five-point harness, and a fixed front wheel to cut down on jarring.
Whether you are a serious runner or a weekend warrior, a jogging stroller is a must for any outdoor enthusiast.
Hit the cycle trails with a bike trailer
Looking for a great way to cycle around Kitsilano with your little one? Get ready for tons of fun. A bike trailer is the perfect solution for you and your family to get out and bike the sights and sounds of your neighbourhood.
From an adventurous ride to a simple outing along the beach, there is certainly no shortage of amazing bike trailer options for cycling lovers.
Designed for either one or two children, bike trailers come with a wide range of options to keep the good times rolling, like a five-point harness system, padded seats and backrests, ample storage space, ventilation, weather canopy, adjustable suspension, parking brake, large air-filled wheels, and being able to be folded.
If you are all about the multi-purpose factor, some models can even be converted into a stroller or jogger.
