Single Jogging stroller needed REALLY rough terain

[MommyofBoogieBear]

as much as we love our simple Jeep jogging stroller, we are discovering that we need bigger wheels for the REALLY rough terain we have. the one we have is great, i love the swivel front wheel and it folds up nice, turns on a dime in the airport etc... HOWEVER...DD was really uncomfortable yesterday when we went on our normal walk. (normally she is in the backpack on my back...and DS in the stroller...but he walked this time, and so she was in the stroller). So i was thinking we probably need something that would absorb the shock better. We really don't use it in the mall much any more...so i think i am ok with not having a swivel front wheel (i think...however, it is such a DREAM in the airport! i'd hate to give that up!) but we walk around where our house is more than in an airport. We have REALLY rocky gravel roads...really, really bumpy.

I have found these two...but am open to ANY suggestion. I would need to order online soon since I will be going to the states soon, and I can get it then.

what do you think?

I had an InStep and would go with the Dreamer Design (your second link) over it. I've heard good things about the Dreamer Design.

I have a 20" wheel Baby Jogger shown here http://www.joggingstroller.com/Baby-Jogger-Performance-Single-20.pro and really love it for rough trails and paths. (I walk/jog, hardly a serious runner, but appreciate this stroller anyway.) Handles curbs, steps, and railroad tracks, too -- it's back-weighted, so easy to pop a wheelie and move over big bumps. It has nice suspension with a 2" travel (or more?); my 27mo DD finds it comfortable and will, totally out of character for her, fall asleep in it on trails. It folds down pretty flat w/ all three wheels removed. It's pricey, though I've seen older models on Craig's List for much less than the $360 SRP.
