Our Review of the BOB SUS D'Lux stroller
The BOB Sport Utility Stroller (SUS) D'Lux rides on the same frame design as the blockbuster BOB Ironman jogging stroller. Besides a slight weight difference, the differences between the he SUS D'Lux and the Ironman is a matter of preference. The SUS D'Lux, with its thick tires and treads, is designed for off-road running. This difference aside, the BOB SUS D'Lux provides everything an active parent may need in a jogging stroller . . . and then some.
The BOB SUS D'Lux rolls like a dream over even the toughest terrain and has top-quality safety and comfort features. In addition, one-of-a-kind innovations like adjustable tracking and a fantastic folding system make managing it on road and off a cinch. The rear footbrake offers ultimate control when stopped.
To fold the SUS D'Lux, or any BOB jogging stroller, simply pull the red levers and move the handles forward, then grab the lever / carrying handle beneath the seat and lift. The only jogging stroller that is easier to fold than a BOB is the Baby Jogger Q Series.
The BOB SUS D'Lux is Focused on Fitness
The BOB SUS D'Lux provides fitness minded moms and dads with a unique adjustable tracking feature that minimizes drift while you push. Solid tracking eliminates the need to correct your course while jogging, making every adventure into the outdoors safer and easier. A jogging stroller with properly adjusted tracking will roll in a straight line without veering at all.
The BOB SUS D'Lux offers Deluxe Kid Comforts
Riding on 16" air-filled tires and a deluxe suspension system (with 3" of play) the BOB SUS D'Lux lets you head off-road without shaking your kid up at all.
The BOB SUS D'Lux offers plenty of additional safety features, such as a 5-point harness, handbrake for slowing down on inclined areas, and a rear footbrake for stationary security. BOB provides a unique wrist tether system with all their jogging strollers that attaches to the axle instead of the handlebar. With the tether attached at the bottom you won't take your BOB SUS down with you should you take a fall while running.
In addition to the suspension system, the BOB SUS D'Lux has great passenger comfort features like a supportive and padded seat with a near-flat recline for total relaxation.
To top it all off, the BOB Car Seat Adapter makes the BOB Sport Utility Stroller D'Lux compatible a number of popular infant car seats:
- Britax Companion
- Graco Snug Ride
- Graco SafeSeat (Step 1)
- Peg Perego Primo Viaggio SIP
Bottom Line: You honestly cannot go wrong with the BOB SUS D'Lux, or any BOB jogging stroller for that matter – light, durable, straight tracking, and easy to fold, BOB strollers are hard to match. The Sport Utility Stroller D'Lux provides a lighter alternative to the standard BOB SUS, but at a higher price because of its lighter aluminum rims.
Runners who prefer tracks or pavement over rugged trails may prefer the BOB Ironman. The Ironman has slicker, narrower tires and a stronger suspension system. If you want a BOB jogging stroller that is will turn more easily on city streets or indoors, check out the BOB Revolution with a front swivel wheel.

100% worth it!
Flawless stroller!
I love my running stroller!
Awesome!
Solid stroller
Love It!
Great Stroller
Excellent for runners
Worth the price!
The stroller was very easy to assemble, and once together, it was simple to make the small adjustments needed to ensure it was running straight. I was very impressed with how light it was, even compared to our Metrolite stroller. Then I sat my son it in and adjusted the harness to fit, and we were ready for our first run!
The stroller was a joy for both my son and me. I run on the streets, so the ride for my son was exceedingly smooth, and the shocks easily absorbed any bumps we came across. The stroller itself pushed very easily and held its course with minimal, occasional adjustments. The only distraction from the run was my son looking through the transparent window on the top of the sun shade and grinning like crazy, as if to say, â??Faster, papa, faster!â??
The stroller also does well on day-to-day duty. Iâ??ve never had any problems maneuvering inside stores or wherever we may be roaming. It is a bit longer than a â??regularâ?? stroller, but not so much as to make it significantly harder to move through aisles and such at smaller places.
The BOB SUS also stores easily; it folds up with a simple pull on a handle, and is much more compact that I expected. If you need it more compact, the wheels easily detach (and reattach) to make more room. It opens and locks easily from the folded position by a simple lift on the pushbar, and folds open somewhat reminiscent of a TV tray. Very easy.
Overall, Iâ??ve been extremely impressed with the BOB SUS Deluxe. It does great as both a day-to-day stroller and a jog stroller, and has any accessory you may need (I love the weather shield for keeping my son comfy while his mildly deranged papa runs in the cold or rain).
Save your money for this great stroller; itâ??s definitely worth it!
