- Handle bar isn't adjustable
Among all-terrain strollers, the BOB Revolution receives glowing praise from experts and parents alike. Owners love the adjustable tracking, which keeps the stroller riding straight, and praise the tight turning capabilities, ample storage space and durable frame. One downside mentioned repeatedly in owner-written reviews is the lack of a cup holder; parents don't appreciate having to shell out an extra $20 to buy this accessory when purchasing such an expensive stroller. Owners also wish the handlebar were adjustable. Still, reviewers say the price for the BOB Revolution is worth it, and this stroller boasts nearly 60 five-star reviews on Amazon.com. It comes in five color combinations.
The BOB Revolution has 16-inch polymer wheels in back and a swiveling 12.5-inch front wheel that locks so you can use it for jogging, but experts say serious runners should look for a fixed-wheel jogging stroller like the Baby Jogger Performance Single (*est. $430) or BOB Ironman (*est. $350). If you like the versatility of a swiveling front wheel, reviewers also like the Jeep Liberty Sport Urban Terrain (*est. $120). You'll save money with this stroller, but you won't get the same durability or performance.
Baby Bargains mentions the BOB Revolution only briefly. Cookie magazine and Babble.com both test the BOB Revolution, and while the testing criteria is not fully explained, these reviews are some of the most recent available on jogging strollers. ConsumerReports.org tested the BOB Revolution several years ago; unfortunately, their write-up is no longer available online. The consumer feedback at Buzzillions.com is also very helpful in evaluating the BOB Revolution.
