BOB Revolution

What a great stroller. I purchased this for jogging with my son, and it handles like a dream. It is very simple to fold up as well and the parking brake is very secure. It is a little bulky, even folded… up, but I expected that for such a heavy duty stroller. The swivel wheel makes it a great stroller for shopping too, as long as you have the space for it. What sold me was the 70lb weight limit. My 16 month old is a big boy and I'm afraid his bugaboo bee (also a great light-weight stroller)is not going to last us all the way through toddler-hood because he is so tall. So I'll keep it in my car for shopping until he outgrows it and then it will be just BOB. I got mine at REI and saved 20% by becoming a member--GREAT DEAL!

I am so happy with this stroller- it's a definite "splurge" but well worth the money. I like to think of strollers as real investments =) Things I love: -The swivel/lock wheel -SO easy to push. Literally… can be done with 1 finger -I love that the wheels come off. Makes it super easy to travel with a full car -Washable (although kinda tough to do) -My son LOVES it. He honestly never makes a peep while in the stroller. -It makes turns like a champ- so easy to shop and make tight corners -The sunshade does a good job Things that I don't love: -The basket is sometimes hard to get stuff in and out of. -I wish it clipped together, or had handles for getting in and out of the car. Sometimes it's kind of awkward because I don't know where to grab -That it doesn't come with car seat adapter or drink holder. It's like they thing if you can afford the stroller, you can spend oodles of extra money on extra things. Truth is, I think a lot of people save up and go out of their way to purchase this stroller, so I think they should accommodate with some extras.

I know it's expensive but I think it's worth it. Very well made stroller. My daughter is still a bit small for it at 5 months old. We still go for a walk though. Have to wait until she's 8 months to jog… (BOB recommendation). The swivel wheel is the way to go! It navigates and turns so easy. Then locks in place with a click of a button for jogging. Also folds down well for storage or placing in car. Looking forward to getting a lot of use out of this stroller since it will hold kids up to 70 lbs. The large inflated tires travel well off road as well as on.

I recieved the BOB and on my first jogging trip the two back tires popped, even when I had inflated them at the recommended 30psi. Could have been the pump that was not calibrated correctly or the heat… since I am in Miami. Anyway, I wanted to exchange the stroller for another one and, for the first time, went through the Amazon Return Center. What a nice experience! The only thing I had to do was print a barcode and re-pack the product in its original box. Amazon scheduled a pre-paid shipment pick up, and I had to pay $0. While all this happened, Amazon shipped the exchange product and whithin 5 days, I had the new product and returned the defective one. The good thing is that I purchased the stroller directly from Amazon, and not at the Amazon marketplace. The peace of mind of their return policies makes it easy to decide what to purchase. Thanks Amazon!
