Bugaboo Announces New Performance Jogging Extension Coming Spring 2015

AMSTERDAM and LOS ANGELES, Sept. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Bugaboo announced today the Bugaboo Runner, a new innovation coming to its portfolio of best-in-class strollers and accessories in Spring 2015. Unveiled during last week's ABC Kids Expo in Las Vegas and Kind + Jugend in Cologne, the Bugaboo Runner is a separate chassis designed purely for running that works with every current Bugaboo stroller model. Simply click any Bugaboo stroller seat onto the chassis with a set of adapters for a high-performance jogging option for parents designed to allow children to enjoy the comfort of the Bugaboo stroller seat they already love.

"The Bugaboo Runner is inspired by our passion for freedom of movement," says Max Barenbrug, founder and Chief Design Officer, Bugaboo International. "We wanted to create a jogging extension that lets parents move even more freely and focus on what they love doing. It's modular, easy to use and helps you explore the world with your family."

Recognizing the unique needs of active parents, the Bugaboo Runner provides the option for parents to jog with their child (9 months and older) facing them or looking out at the world. Compatible with the Bugaboo Bee*/Bugaboo Bee³, Bugaboo Cameleon³, Bugaboo Buffalo and Bugaboo Donkey, the Bugaboo Runner can also be purchased as a complete jogging stroller with a dedicated Bugaboo Runner seat. The Bugaboo Runner quickly unfolds and collapses to its compact form, making it perfect for storing at home or taking along in the car. Parents can enjoy the freedom to move faster, whether they are out for a casual jog, training for a race or just want to enjoy a better running experience with their child.

The Bugaboo Runner features large wheels with air-filled tires and a unique suspension system built into the chassis that absorbs any bumps along the way. The Bugaboo Runner's three-wheel base provides a stable ride and its front wheel is fixed for utmost performance, delivering the smoothest, straightest run possible. Its adjustable handlebar ensures a comfortable, ergonomic running position. With just a squeeze of either hand anywhere on the handlebar, the brakes can be engaged to control speed, allowing a slow down or stop with minimal effort.

The Bugaboo Runner will be available in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand starting in Spring 2015 and in Europe from Fall 2015. The Bugaboo Runner jogging extension (chassis and seat adapters) will retail for $425 USD/CAD. As a complete jogger, the Bugaboo Runner will retail for $755 USD/CAD (chassis, seat and seat adapters).

*Bugaboo Runner compatible with Bugaboo Bee models from March 2010 onward.
