Reviews for BOB Revolution stroller

My husband laughed at me when I told him I was going to buy the Bob Revolution for our 4 year old daughter for our trip to the Caribbean. You see, we have 4 strollers and one child: a Bob SUV, a Baby Jogger with 20â?? wheels, a Maclaren Techno and a Maclaren Volo. I wanted to bring a jogging stroller because each morning on vacation, my daughter wants to come running with me and the Maclaren Volo, which we usually take on trips, just does not cut it. I told my husband that there are 3 reasons why I wanted the Revolution: (1) it has the movable front wheel so you can easily maneuver it without having to â??pop a wheeleeâ??, (2) it has a suitcase that you can pack it in for travel (of course, this reason is bogus because I could have just bought the suitcase and packed our Bob SUV in it), (3) itâ??s pink and brown and looks so fashionable!! Once it arrived, I doubted my purchase because our daughter was already maxed out on height (sheâ??s about 41â?? tall and 40 lbs), but she loved it and it was so pretty that we kept it. The main reason we kept it is that she had outgrown the Bob SUV b/c there was no room for her feet; the Revolution, however, has a much larger foot area b/c it extends over the front wheel â?? great design. The stroller was FANTASTIC â?? we did not use it in the airport (a four year old is quite capable of walking) but rather just checked it (see separate review on accessory suitcase â?? itâ??s awesome). Another couple at our resort had the Revolution in orange for their infant and also said they were very happy with it (they usually use their bugaboo, but used the Bob on this trip and just checked it at the gate). I used it every morning to go running and exploring the beaches with my daughter (the shocks work great) and we used it in the evening to walk to dinner (the property was very hilly and the stroller was a better option than carrying our daughter back to our room late in the evening); our daughter actually fell asleep in it a few nights at dinner (the reclining feature works very well). Our daughter effortlessly pushed her doll (an American Girl) in it to dinner pretending she was the mommy. Itâ??s a terrific stroller. We liked our Bob SUV, and just LOVE our Bob Revolution. The front wheel fixes in place easily for more serious running and the stroller collapses easily too. My husband agreed that even if we just used the stroller for the vacation, it was worth the money. Hats off to Bob.

I've only had my stroller a few short weeks, but I am loving it now that the weather is warming up in my area. I go for pretty brisk walks with my 5 month old and he seems to like it very much. I have the Snuzzler accessory for him at this stage (as he is not yet sitting up on his own) and he seems quite comfy. I haven't figured out the recline on it yet, and at this price, I feel like it should come with more accessories (like at least a cup holder), but over all it is great. Very smooth ride, light to push (even in my very hilly neighborhood). Goes great over rough terrain. I have only tried jogging with it once and I would definitely recommend locking the front wheel when jogging.

I live in Africa where I needed a stroller that could transport my little one over dirt roads around town as well as out in the vilages. I read other reviews about how the BOB strollers are good but people didn't know how good until they got them....IT'S TRUE! The best part is that my toddler loves our new stroller which makes it easy for me to take him anywhere. The Africans say my son looks like a king as he gets pushed around town.

I hesitated to spend so much money on a stroller. But what a stroller! The best money I've spent in a decade! My 2006 BOB Revolution has revolutionized my daily life. I bought the two weather covers, a reflective vest (Illuminite), and a stroller snuggler (One Step Ahead) and I can now go out in any weather. I think an all-terrain, all-weather stroller is the most realistic way for a parent to get a workout in.

It is so sturdy, it makes those overpriced plastic toys they sell as strollers look like a joke. It took me 10 minutes to put together. Even the instructions are well done. And customer service and shipping from joggingstroller.com were just outstanding.

Both my kids are comfy when they ride, even the older one, who is four years old, 39 pounds, and 42 inches. And she still has room to grow with this one!

My next step is to buy a double stroller, so that I can take both kids out every day without sibling rivalry, busy spouse, or other daily hassles ruining my walking plans. Beats a gym membership!

PS I have the citrus green (gorgeous!) and I've seen both the orange and the red in and they are much prettier and less garish in real life than on computer.

I was hesitant to spend the money on the BOB Revolution, but after reading many reviews on this website, I decided to take the plunge. Now that I've used it for 6 months I have to say it is worth every penny. I use it as a walking/jogging stroller, shopping stroller and all-about-the-town stroller. It fits nicely in the back of my van and it's lighter than the Graco I use to use. The best part was when the stroller arrived there was almost no assembly required (unlike the sub-par BabyTrend I had previously purchased). The quality of construction and materials are superior. Functionally this stroller is smooth and easy to use. My husband, an engineer was impressed with the design of the stroller. Great shocks, nice comfy handles, and the canopy has good sun coverage. I highly recommend getting the "Warm & Fuzzy" accessory cushion because it is so soft and cushions baby against the scratchy back rest. My only criticism of this stroller is the scratchy back and leg rest, but that was solved with the "Warm & Fuzzy". However, I think a $379 stroller should come with the "Warm & Fuzzy".

This is stroller is awesome. I run everyday and originally had another jogger. I decided to purchase this one even though my other jogger was still brand new. I did not regret it. It makes running so much nicer. This stroller is perfect for a runner.

My husband and I bought this stroller in 2006. We have all the accessories and think this stroller is the best thing out there. Handles great and is the smoothest ride. My daughter loves this stroller. Great sun shade, rain and wind blocker, comfy seating style, packs up small. Our only complaint is the basket underneath is small and could use some breaks it gets going fast downhill. But still the best on the market.

We bought this BOB when our daughter was just a month or two old...we wanted a jogging stroller even though I don't run. It makes sense-it's so fantastic for long walks. She absolutely loves it. You have ample storage...the back pocket/holder is very roomy for sippy cup, toys, etc. You also have the lower basket for anything you might need. It's really worth the money. Now that our little one is 17 months old, she points to her BOB every time we walk out into the garage to get into the car!! One thing I will say, it's not exactly portable for one person, i.e. a Mom. So, it's not my first choice of stroller when going to the mall or zoo, etc. But, for neighborhood walks or special occasions or if my husband is going with me someplace, we will put it in the car and take it.
