Reviews for BOB Revolution stroller

This stroller is hands down the best every day jogging stroller. It isn't super long like marathon jogging strollers-- it is more compact. Pushes like it is on air. Great canopy. The adjustable tracking is worth its weight in gold -- most (maybe none) others do not have this feature. The swivel option is great too as we jog on windy paths often. The suspension softens the blow when we hit a bump in the pavement or are jogging quickly on a rutted path.

It is very expensive though, so I don't understand why non-joggers flock to this. If you need a stroller for walking in the park or on unpaved paths, this is an unnecessary stroller-- the cheaper versions do perfectly. It is also too heavy and bulky for everyday use and does not fold very compactly. I use the Baby Jogger City Mini for an every day stroller (perfect). Actually, if you're just a walker, the citi mini should be your choice :-)

I had my baby 7 weeks ago and I researched purchasing a stroller for months before I finally settled on the BOB revolution. I changed my mind on which stroller to buy at least 3 times. We spend a lot of time in the mountains and I needed a stroller that I could take on uneven surfaces. This stroller does not disappoint. I take baby and our golden retriever on walks just about every day and this would not be possible without this stroller. I live in a small town and there are a number of sidewalks that have not been shoveled yet this winter. I am easily able to push the stroller through snow drifts with one hand and still hold onto the dog. When the snow gets really deep I just lock up the front tire and I have no problems ( this does require two hands though). We spent the last weekend at my parents cabin in the mountains and my mom and I went for long walks on the frozen lake with the dogs and my mom was so impressed with how the stroller handled. Baby slept the entire walk thanks to the great suspension on this stroller, even though we were bouncing along on very uneven ice. Mom and I were slipping all over the place and the BOB didn't falter once. I cannot say enough about this stroller. There are a couple downsides to it. 1) cost, it is pricey, but then again it is the only stroller that I know of that could hold up to the terrain that we brought it on. 2) size- Folded up it is big, no bigger than any other full size strollers, but I wish there was a way to get them to fold smaller. 3) You have to purchase the infant adapter and cup holder. At the cost you would think they could throw them in or at least make them cheaper. All in all, it is a great stroller. However, if you never plan on leaving the mall or hard top you probably don't need it!

I am so surprised by all these reviews about the slouching! I have had my duallie for two years and used it for every age from newborn to four years old (even five on occassion) and I have never, ever seen any of my children slouching. My children were always comfortble and I love, love, love pushing this stroller!!! It is very heavy, but that's to be expected. I love my BOB!!!

We just got our BOB and I really love the suspension and ease of maneuverability, true to the reviews. And also true to what everyone says, my son slouches once seated.

I adjusted the shoulder strap one level higher from where it was out -of-the-box. I realized it was lower that his shoulder and maybe it was pushing him down.

Also I placed this small round pillow on his back over the warm fuzzy. I've been using that pillow even from when we were using the Chicco Cortina stroller. That made him slouch/slide too! But the pillow solved it. Hopefully it will in the BOB.

Otherwise, its all good. The basket is big enough to hold my JJ Cole big square diaper bag, Baby Bjorn and blanket.

One suggestion, I wish the tray would be adjustable/removable so its easier to take him out if he's sleeping. And also he can't see his Cheerios cuz it's high.

I too, am disillusioned by the back seat slouching problem. I went so far as to actually call Bob customer service, and compare mine to my friends' strollers to see if mine had a defect. Come to discover, that's just the way they are made. The older my baby gets (now 16 months), the more slouched and uncomfortable she becomes. I did my research, and thought that I had found the one. I can't believe I have to now start the stroller finding process all over again! Bob is not my dream stroller after all . . .

I have had this for a few months and it works great. It fits in doorways that you'd never expect it to and it truly pushes intself. I don't run marathons but am pregnant again and it pushes easily for me to do a few miles without a problem. Also, I live at the beach and am outdoorsy and thought I should get the fixed wheel but no - having the option of fixed/not fixed is amazing. If I were to do it over again I'd buy the dualie Bob Revolution at the beginning of child #1 and just be done with all other strollers.

I bought the single version 3 1/2 years ago, and sold it to fund the double version 18 months ago when I had a 2nd child. I love this stroller. The only complaint I have is the lock and fold issue, but as a previous poster said, just use the hand strap, problem solved. I have never had an issue with a slouching baby, toddler or preschooler. I used my single BOB since my 1st son was 7months, and the duallie from birth (with the car seat adapter). I waited to jog until the recommended ages, but I have never seen either child slump. In fact, they both sit so comfortably, they almost always fall asleep! The sun shade is by far the best I have ever seen. BOBs rule!

Just take the yellow security strap and loop it around the handle and bring it back to the velcro. Works like a charm.

I used the double version of this stroller for 3 years with my now 4 year old and 3 years old. The fact it doesn't lock when folded is doubly annoying with the double stroller, but I use a small bunji cord to lock it in place and it is manageable. I am now on my way to a 3rd child and am considering buying the single but am concerned aobut the slouching issue a few reviewers have brought up. Anyone else out there with that issue?

I thought long and hard about spending the $$ on a BOB but after I tried out the BOB versus other brands in the $150-250 range, this was the clear winner--most of them have no suspension system. This handles like a dream, I use it for light jogs, walks on bumpy sidewalks and the park. I would not take this stroller to the city or airports (we have a lightweight stroller for that) but we're active and wanted a stroller for walks, jogs, parks, etc. My complaints--for nearly $400, they could figure out a way to lock it in the folded position (seriously? fix this!) and they really should include a rain shield and console--all the cheaper brands include these!!!

I LOVE my BOB!!!! I wish I would have bought this stroller 8 months ago when my son was born! The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the locking issue. WHy doesn't it lock when you fold it? I almost didn't buy it because of that. BUT I figure in time I will get down to where I can fold and throw it in the back of my SUV w/out issue. Other than the no lock when closed this stroller is a dream to push, very rugged, cool looking and has a HUGE sun shade! LOVE LOVE LOVE my BOB! I bought the Mesa and it's so cool looking.

I purchased this stroller 7 months ago. My daughter is now 6 months old, and it is by far the best baby purchase I made. This is the only stroller I use. I use it to run, go on walks, and everyday shopping (we bought the car seat adaptor). If you are looking to only buy one stroller, this is it. Even my mom, who was really skeptical about using a jogging stroller for everyday use, now brags about it to everyone we see (whether we know them or not). It turns on a dime, and is amazingly easy to steer. It is also a great jogging stroller. I love this stroller!!

This is the best thing ive ever got....i lost 15 pounds jogging with my bob stroller...no regrets.

I too spent a lot of time researching strollers. I would not trade my BOB for anything, but there are a few things left to be desired. The Good: SUPER easy to push one-handed.. really. I can push my 25lb child with one hand and walk the dog with the other. Although it is big I can manuver well in tighter spaces since it turns so easily. I don't think I could break the thing if I tried; it is very well made. I live at the beach and I can push it through even soft sand with a little effort and the front wheel locked. I find it great to jog with since it pushes along so easily. The Bad: All the extras you really have to buy if you want this to be an everyday stroller. The handlebar console, the warm-fuzzy, snack tray- for a $400 jogging stroller you would think they would include a spot to throw your water bottle! The seat only sits So far up. Even fully 'upright' the seat makes your child slouch a little and can be frustrating for them not to be completely sitting upright. The Ugly: Trying to use that darn strap to close the stroller once it is folded down. I have figured out how to pick it up once I have it folded to get in in the back of my car without using it, but it is a total pain that it dosent automatically snap shut. The bottom line, though is that I wouldn't trade it for anything. I know that with it in my trunk I can take my little girl practically anywhere and get around just fine. Gravel, sand, uneven pavement and grass are all things that a little mall walker just don't handle well.

Thank you for the personalized, excellent service in purchasing a JoggingStroller for our children and infant grandson in Alaska. Your service and the quality of the stroller went far beyond our expectations!

If you use your stroller for mainly walking around home and sometimes at the mall etc THIS is the stroller for you! It pushes itself (really) and has an AMAZING hood that completely shades baby (very important in summer when it's so hot). We got the brown/blue one and it's such a pretty color combo and not so common as the navy's and orange ones. Get the cupholder caddy bob makes, fits perfect and you can store your keys, drink, phone etc in there. It is pretty lightweight too for what it is. Sorry to be shallow, but you see a lot of them around here in so. cal and i love being trendy like that too :) Just today at the spectrum i must have seen 4 bobs in 20 mins. I choose this over a baby jogger as they push so much better and just feel like such better quality; it is almost impossible to damage a bob!

The BOB Revolution is our only stroller. PROS: We love it's superior maneuverability, durability and comfort during use (my husband and I are of average height). One CON: We use this stroller for everything (again, our only stroller!), and we just popped the front tire by simply 'driving' the stroller on park grounds. According to the bike shop that fixed it, the tube was covered in thorns. That seems a little wimpy for a supposedly rugged and all-terrain stroller. We are hoping this was a fluke, and we won't continue to have this type of issue because, so far, we have loved everything else about the BOB!

We received the Bob Revolution as a gift when our son was born. I was very excited to get it so that William and I could go for runs once he was old enough. I have found it to be a great stroller for walks, not runs. I live in Chicago, and the sidewalks absolutely crush this thing. After a short run (about 2 blocks), I stopped because the cracks in the sidewalk almost toppled the stroller over on several occasions, but I don't think that any stroller would be able to handle the cracks. I then took it to my parents' house in the suburbs, where I could run on a nice, flat, paved trail. While I eliminated the cracks in the sidewalk problem, I found that I kept kicking the back of the stroller. I am 6'0", run about 6:30 miles, and have a relatively long stride. I would need some sort of an extension bar on any stroller to prevent from kicking it, and the Bob didn't cut it. Looking back, I think my expectations were too high for any stroller, and that I'm really not going to be able to run how I want to with any type of stroller. He gets to stay at home with Mom when I run, and we all go for walks later. Aside from not being able to run, I do really like the stroller. We have taken him in it golfing, for long walks, on trails, over light snow, and it has been great. $389 great? I don't know, but I do like the stroller, and with the swivel wheel, it is very maneuverable. Travelling with it is a lost cause though. Even folded down, it's still very big and doesn't fit very well in our trunk. And after reading other reviews, I am not going to risk taking it on an airplane as that seems to have disastrous consequences. Bottom line, great for walks and slow jogs, but I don't think it (or any other stroller for that matter) will cut it for hard runs.

I bought the BOB because I love to jog and it's supposed to be one of the best jogging strollers out there. At first I was pretty disappointed with my stroller because the first week that I had it, the inner tube popped-when I was a mile away from my home! So, after walking my baby back on a flat for a mile, I was NOT happy with my purchase. After replacing the inner tube, it has since been fine and I'm happy with how light it is to push and how easy it is to maneuver. I don't really like how it folds down, however, so it has it's pros and cons. I've never used any other jogger so I do not have anything to compare it to, but I'm sure I would be just as happy with any other stroller! I don't know that I would say it's worth the money!

I, too, spent considerable time researching strollers before deciding on the BOB Revolution. As the stroller is for my 3d child, I had strong ideas of what I wanted and didnt want/need in a stroller and BOB pretty much nailed it! Other strollers seemed to have similar features, but their reviews also revealed consistent design/operational flaws; BOB was the only stroller I found with overwhelmingly positive feedback going back years. Now I know why: it's well built and so easy to use - even my 2 girls can push and TURN it!) My only suggestions for improvement would be, as a recent reviewer suggested, some kind of locking mechanism for when the stroller is closed -- using the wrist strap is awkward. Also, I can't figure out why it needs the head flap: I have to assume it serves some kind of safety function, but it's cumbersome to fold it back for cant be folded back in a full recline. I havent seem any other comments about this feature at all, so maybe it's just me . . . Overall, a great stroller - I may even take up jogging because of it!!

I got on this site to check out double strollers since we now have a newborn but I thought I'd add my thoughts on the BOB Revolution. We LOVE it and use it HARD. It has weathered two years of daily use extremely well. It was a great investment. I plan to keep it so that I can jog with our little one while big guy is at preschool. It is the perfect stroller. In fact the only reason we even have another stroller (Chicco umbrella stroller) is for when we fly...I don't want to put the BOB through airport baggage handling. But other than that, the BOB is all we need. We love you, BOB!!

I love this stroller! I was also one of those people who did a ton of research and did not want to fork out a lot of money for a jogging stroller (I have the Chicco travel system as well) so I originally bought the Baby Trend Expedition. I really wanted to like that stroller as it was quite a bit less expensive but I had problems all the way around (pedometer fell apart, front wheel wobbled, etc.)- You get what you pay for! So... based on reviews from this site I purchased the BOB revolution in black- more expensive but worth every penny! This is the Cadillac of jogging strollers- sturdy frame with great suspension, easily maneuvers whether on the trail or at the mall. It was easy to put together- just pop on the wheels. I was concerned about the tires holding up as the trail I walk/jog has goat stickers everywhere. While these tires seem thicker than other jogging strollers, I did fill the tires with some True Goo just to make sure. So far no problems. My 8 month old baby loves this stroller as well. I do have two small complaints: 1. I wish the stroller had a locking mechanism for when I need to hoist it into the car- it's not heavy but sometimes awkward - my husband has no problems so maybe I'm just challenged, ha. 2. I purchased a drink holder (by Tiptoe Turtle) and it works great, just think a drink holder should come with the stroller considering the cost. Overall, I highly recommend this product- you won't be disappointed!

I researched stollers FOREVER and finally decided on the Revolution. My only hang-up was the price, but let me tell you...it's WELL WORTH IT. I have taken it on trails, side walks, dirt roads while running and walking and it just floats in front of me. It is easy to steer in both fixed (when running)and swivel wheel positions. My son just turned 8 months old and he loves coming along for the ride. I would recommed this to anyone who is interested in going for a jog/run (I run 8/min per mile and it handles great!) or going for a walk. THANKS BOB! :)

This is the best stroller I have ever purchased. I cannot say enough wonderful things about it. It is easy to use. It has a very comfortable ride, and my son LOVES the side pockets inside just for him to put toys or snacks in. It was soooo easy to put together and the instruction booklet was very complete. I had the Phil and Ted's E3 before, but had to endure seemingly constant product failures, as it was definitely not rugged enough to stand up to airline travel. The wheels were bent on multiple occasions, the brake broke off and I could never replace it. The fabric tore, not allowing it to be folded/unfolded without a struggle. The BOB is much more durable and easier to operate than the Phil and Ted's stroller. I was suffering because I liked the two rider capacity, but in the end that aspect was not worth it and the BOB has a ride and quality that is absolutely superior, not only to Phil and Ted's, but to the many others we have tried and looked at, as well. I will never buy another brand.

I love my Bob, agree with the others that the bottom is small, but you can' get everything. I have a flurville diaper bag that I can hang from the handles, it works great, and it does not tip the stroller. This is one of my best purchases!

I just got back from a brisk walk with my baby and have to rave about my stroller. I've had the stroller for 1.5 months and have taken it everywhere! For shopping, there is no comparison to it's maneuverability. For walking, it's so easy to guide, that I can push the baby with one hand and hold the dog's leash with the other. For running, the tracking feature is spectacular, the tether is safe and comfortable, the sunshade is low enough to shield baby's eyes from the morning sun, and it's easy to handle on turns, even with the wheel locked. By the way, the first medal I ever won in a race came after racing with the stroller. I would recomend this stroller to EVERYONE. The price is scary, but so worth it.

I love my BOB stroller. It was the third (and so far last) stroller I purchased before my daughter was one year old! My only complaint is the basket underneath is very small and hard to access. I can barely fit my diaper bag in there and if I do it's only with a ton of pushing and shoving. Also, it tends to be a bit tippy (backwards) so you can't hang the bag from the handlebar. I also wish it came with the drink/snack tray/carseat adapter add on. Overall though, I'm very happy with it!

I love BOB! He is the new man in my life and a real godsend. If I was a newbie mom all over again I would probably own nothing but BOB, my $9 Babies R Us umbrella stroller, and my front carrier as everything else has been a waste of money. Best points: you guys and your awesomely fast shipping! Ease of assembly. Hilarious guide (with the word FATAL on just about every page. Yikes!) Beautiful colors, really vibrant. The thing moves FAST and so super smooth, sometimes I feel like the stroller can read my mind LOL and would have thought myself crazy except a friend tried it and echoed the same thoughts. Sooo super maneuverable from gravel to granite to wood chips to grass to even sand (we live by the lake). Love the side storage pockets, the baby always has his sippy cup and his rattle handy in a pinch. Love the sun canopy, though I was told by another BOB owner that it fully comes off at the back and can be positioned in any way to block the sun, no matter the angle -- this des not appear true, sadly. Love the compact size -- it fits easily in my Forester trunk with PLENTY of room to spare. As a single mom who is usually juggling my 8-month-old, my two dogs, and a diaper bag, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the fact that I can flip it open fast and easily by myself. Easy to wipe clean. The peekaboo window is expansive and appreciated. Another great (though silly) point: it's fairly manly looking. My brothers and male friends appreciate this part, in fact, they like its speed and looks a little TOO much as they are guilty of some wild driving when they're "at the wheel" LOL but I like that the stroller appeals to everyone. The only reasons I dropped a star (actually I wanted to drop just a half a star but couldn't figure out how) were: price (I'm not a skinflint and it's a fantastic stroller but OUCH! I almost didn't get it with this price tag) and secondly, the hanging basket underneath is a bit annoying in that it's secured on with very little give, so getting items in and out of it is always an uncomfortable squeeze. One other small point to ponder: I can't figure out how these other reviewers are closing it with one hand. I have to squeeze both red tabs, one in each hand, simultaneously, so I don't know how they're doing it! Not a big problem, but a little awkward when out and about and juggling tons of stuff, but a minor irritation I would expect with just about any stroller so I wouldn't mark down for it. Anyway, small price to pay for overall greatness! Basically, I LOVE it! Works great for long strolls around town, rollerblading, jogging and off-roading. No problem in tight stores because it turns like a dream and is actually much smaller than it looks (I think this is the long, pointy design). Would 101% recommend to all my new parent friends (and already have!) before they get suckered into gynormous travel systems/expensive umbrella strollers/three types of slings etc. The BOB just about does it all, and now that I hear it accommodates an infant car seat, I wish I had had one right from the get-go!

Hands down, my best purchase to date. I had really been dreading becoming a stroller runner UNTIL I got the BOB Revolution and now it is a treat! I can't say enough about it. Love it, Love it!!!!

We needed a stroller because the sidewalks in our town are rough, hilly and sometimes nonexistent. The BOB Revolution handles every obstacle smoothly. I've never wrote a review of a product online, but with the exceptional quality of the BOB stroller I feel compelled to.

The BOB Revolution is generally a well designed stroller, but it still suffers from a couple of design flaws. 1. The rails holding the shock absorbers are made from soft aluminum. Every time we air travel and the stroller gets tossed around they get bent badly and I have to readjust them. 2. The harness holding the child is cheap and a pain to adjust. 3. The stroller would benefit from a bicycle type brake for downhill strolls. Apart from that we have been happy. We particularly like the big wheels, which make it super easy to push the stroller around on all kinds of surfaces, including snow.

We have tried our new Bob Revolution a number of times now and we have come to the conclusion we must return it for a refund. Our child loves her little umbrella stroller but we needed something with larger tires and shock absorbers for gravel paths and grassy areas. The Bob stroller with the large tires and shock absorbers bounces our child around more then the her umbrella stroller with little 4" plastic tires and no suspension. The real problem is the harness system. The crotch strap is not adjustable causing our 4 month old (16 lbs) to slide down into a horrible uncomfortable position. We have asjusted the shoulder harness height and tightened it to the proper position but the crotch strap needs adjustment. They claim you can put an 8 week old in this stoller - that is a complete joke. I think your child needs to be way over our childs 16 lbs, 25.5 inches in order to fit properly into this joke of a harness. Why would the shoulder straps be the only part of the harness that adjusts? This is just poor. We researched like crazy and this seemed like the right choice but we were wrong.

Comments from The Staff:

We appreciate your feedback and have contacted the manufacturer. Here's what they had to say:

The BOB Revolution suspension is an adjustable system with one position for heavier children and one for lighter children. Users should take note of the recommended shock position for their children?s weight. When properly adjusted, the stroller suspension system works in conjunction with the large pneumatic tires to effectively reduce (but not completely eliminate) the bumps commonly encountered in typical outdoor sidewalks, paths and trails.
The unique design of the BOB Revolution harness system allows for simultaneous adjustment of the waist belt and the shoulder harness at one time. To help prevent the child from sliding forward you need to make sure the slide buckle located next to the shoulders are level with the top of the shoulders. If they are too low or high this can cause the child to slide forward. Once the slide buckle has been properly adjusted you will want to make sure the waist strap is snug around the child?s waist, this will also keep the child centered in the seat. With the excess strap material you can pull on the end of the strap on both sides till all the excess is removed from the shoulder and waist. This harness system has a proven track record with many families over the years for a wide size range of children. The reason for the lack of adjustment in the crotch strap is due to the ASTM (www.astm.org) safety standard for strollers. This safety standard controls this dimension to help ensure the harness is safe and secure.

I researched the heck out of jogging strollers before we bought this one. We were hesitant because of the price, but now we know we bought the right one. We originally bought a travel system (stroller and infant seat) but since we purchased the BOB Revolution, we never use the stroller anymore. We take the BOB absolutely everywhere - its comfortable to push and my daughter is comfortable in it. I can get it in and out of our minivan by myself while holding her with ease. In some stores its hard to navigate around all the features because the aisles are too narrow- but that is a fault of the store, so I don't hold it against BOB. (Stores need to have a minimum of 3 ft for an aisle to accomodate wheelchairs). The sun is strong where we live, so having a really good sunshade was very important, and this one is fantastic. The side pockets are terrific for a small toy, paci, a few bucks or keys. Its easy to push on a run and tracks well. My only criticisms are these: 1) For the price they ask, I would like to see at least the handlebar console included 2) The rainguard does not have a window in the top so the parent can look into the stroller without peering around the front. I think its a no-brainer that it should have a window. With these things aside, I still wouldn't trade my BOB Revolution for any of the other strollers on the market.

I posted a review after we bought this stroller and had used it for only about a month. Our son is 17 months old now and let me tell you...this is the best money I have spent on something for my child! Best stroller for ease of pushing, whether running or just running around. I spurned a BOB "revolution" in my area. About 5 friends who had babies after me all bought this stroller on our recommendation, many puchasing from this site. We've taken BOB with us to Disneyland several times, Maui, etc. When going on the airplane, we simply fold up and secure with a bungee cord so the baggage handler doesn't get a surprise opening. On our most recent trip to Disneyland about a month ago, we got compliments every day on the stroller, how our son was "riding in style". Heck we even saw a few poor saps pushing their kids backwards because the sun canopy isn't big enough on other strollers to keep thier kids shaded. My husband and I laugh everytime we see parents struggling with their kids in some shoddy stroller. Great for running, although i must admit I run without the front wheel locked into position. I prefer the maneuverablility, just have to be careful. No problems yet after almost 18 months of use. We discovered also that you can take the fabric off and wash in the machine. I used normal detergent and cold water on a gentle cyle, popped it in the dryer and it was shiny and new again. Just make sure you keep track of how to put it back together....my husband has to reassemble twice because he didn't pay attention the first go around. SO my final words to any one with doubts about paying close to $400 for a stroller: Best money I ever spent. I have never used another stroller and don't plan on buying another since my BOB is such a quality product. Buy another brand and you will probably end up with another stroller sooner than later. I have practically worn the tread off my tires so I may have to find a replacement for those soon. LOVE this stroller!!

We traded in our old stroller for this one and are so glad we did! I wanted a great all purpose stroller that could double as a jogging stroller. Our daughter is only 3 months old so we haven't used it running yet but she is very happy in it at a slight recline, and if we recline it all the way, she'll sleep in it too. My husband is very happy with it too....he's quite tall and feels like this is a better fit for him. He's able to walk with the BOB and not be knocking his feet into the stroller with every step. The only negative I can think of is that's its a little bulky to get in the trunk with a baby in one arm....

I love the BOB, BUT on my first outing, a 5 mile walk, I got flats on all the tires, stranding me and my baby! Bummer! Have invested about $40 for Slime, thorn tape, a patch kit, and a frame bike pump with a head that will fit the valves on the BOB tires, so am now hopefully thornproof! Haven't needed the patch kit and pump yet. I think BOB could make beefier tires that would be a little more thornproof (this was all on paved sidewalks!). Otherwise, the BOB is smooth, frictionless to push, beautifully maneuverable, and my baby seems to like it. We have a Chariot, also, but she doesn't like it unless we're going fast on a bike or skis--I think maybe she feels too boxed in and down low in the Chariot. I think the BOB lifts her up some and gives her a better view and more air circulation in the summer. We bought the Chariot for activity and a Combi folding stroller for "shorter" outings, but now with the BOB, the Combi will go away. I can't stand to push anything else! Great service from Joggingstroller.com, too.

Just a follow up of my July 16, 2007 review. After having the Bob for about a year, I'm happy to report that I like the Bob more than when I first reported. My original criticism about folding the Bob is a non-issue for me now since we just leave it unfolded most of the time. And since we live in manhattan, we rarely throw it in the trunk. Next, it is truly a jogger's stroller that is also an excellent all arounder. Strolling through subway grates, and uneven sidewalks is not a problem whatsoever (unlike our Maclaren). Even though the Bob has been around, it seems that it's growing in popularity, at least from my anecdotal observations in Central Park. No problems whatsoever doing a loop in the park with my son. He'll look at the horses, other runners, and then fall asleep. It is the best game in town. Bar none. And the best part is that we use the Bob when I'm not running too. We have logged many miles with the Bob. Still strolls like new. I admit that our "workhorse" stroller is the Maclaren Triumph to take our son to daycare via subway, as the Maclaren is lighter, smaller, and, our daycare frowns on the SUV type strollers. Finally, Bob's customer service is great. I emailed them after I noticed a leak in the front tire. Even though Bob people thought I ran over a sharp object causing a flat, which I disputed, they sent me a spare tube the next day. Their response was courteous and quick.

I got the Bob for my birthday. I researched several jogging strollers before I selected the Bob. I couldn't decided whether I wanted a "locked" front wheel or one that swivels. In the end, I was so glad I went with the "Bob". It is wonderful. It is so light and easy to manuver. The only concern that I have had so far is its size. It is quite large, but I haven't had to load it into my trunk yet, so no complaints yet. All in all, I couldn't be happier with my selection and I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who is looking for a quality jogging stroller.

I purchased "BOB" a few months ago and have started to really enjoy it now (spring is here yea!) Which I am glad I did because I see it is on backorder. I got BOB in orange and brown and just love the colors. (Not to bright but more a burnt orange) The stroller is awsome. Super sturdy, easy to drive (it alomost drives itself) and my daughter who is 1 1/2 is super comfortable in it. I almost wish I had this stoller when she was born so I'm sure for the next one I'll get the infant seat attachment. My mother who uses it also says that this is the nicest stoller ever and totally worth the price. I also purchased the center console. The attatchement fits perfectly and is good for a cold covered drink. If you try to walk with coffee in it, I would not recommend. (they do not either) It spills easily and really is not ment for that. But if you want a place for your water I would get it. The assembly was a cinch. Just pop on the wheels and you are ready to go. Fold up is really easy however you have to manuver it so it does not unfold on you (it does not have a lock on it) But once you get the hang of it it's no big deal. A little on the heavy side but I believe it is that way because the sroller is really such good quality. I am thinking about getting the travel case because I do not want the airlines to ruin it. I really love walking around with BOB and look forward to taking a jog with it soon. All and all totaly worth the $$. Thanks "BOB"

My daughter just turned 1. We bought the Bugaboo Chameleon before she was born. I loved the car seat attachment, but the regular seat wasn't great. It is already too small for her. I bought the BOB upon the recommendation of my sister-in-law and I am over the moon. It is smoother than the Bugaboo and half the price. The seat is comfortable and roomy for her too. I LOVE, LOVE it. I have 4 children and believe me, I have had my share of strollers. Peg Perego, Maclaren, etc. The BOB puts them all to shame. Only one problem is the under carriage basket is way too small. The assembly was a piece of cake. Just put on the wheels and you are ready. I even emailed BOB because I wanted to be prepared about the assembly and they emailed me within 24 hours. Great customer service. Please take everyone's advice and buy this from the get go!!

After reading all of the great reviews, we decided to purchase this as our only stroller for now. We also got the carseat adapter so we could use it right away. I didn't want a travel system, since we are so active I figured this would suit our needs better. For short errands we just use one of those carseat rollers and when baby outgrows the carseat we will just get a lightweight stroller for when we dont want to take the Bob. My husband and I both jog so I knew we needed something very durable. I have been using it for walking since baby was 1 week old with the carseat, and even started jogging with it this week at 5 weeks. I have read some say not to jog with the carseat adapter, but I dont see why not. I can see the baby and she is very secure-just dont take it on rough terrain for now. Also, my postpartum jogging pace is very slow (11-12 min per mile) so she goes about as fast as if I were speedwalking anyways. My husband is faster than me, and he tried it out the other day and the baby was still fine. I definitely recommend this stroller and the carseat adapter if you want to use it right away. My only complaint is when you fold it it is hard to maneuver because it wont stay shut. I havent bought the console yet, but I did buy some stroller hooks and I just hook my water bottle on those for now.

I haven't had the baby yet, but I'm in love with my jogging stroller! I "borrowed" a friend's baby and took the Revolution for a short walk. It folds and unfolds easily, looks great, and is so easy to push! I'm 5'4" and my husband is 6'1" and it's a good height for either of us. I like how the tires come on and off just like my bikes. I have no trouble maneuvering it around my house as long as the front wheel isn't locked in place, and it fits through standard doors just fine. I can't wait to get back to running with it!

This is just a well designed jogger. Light, easy to maneuver, comfortable for the child, good storage underneath, and flexible with the front wheel lock/unlock. The only problems are no brakes for running down steep downhills and a sunshade that doesn't adjust/swivel to deal with late afternoon sun (like when I run every day after work). But I still wouldn't have anything else. It's a dream.

This stroller really is as amazing as everyone has said. I did a lot of research before buying it (let's face it, it's a bit pricey). Now that I have it, I love this stroller. My sister and I run together and we actually fight over who gets to push it! Very smooth ride and top quality. My 8 month old son loves to ride in it. The orange color is also great. I recommend buying the handlebar console to attach to the handle. It works great.

I love my Bob choc/pink stroller. I use it when I rollerblade and it is perfect. My carseat snaps in and the colors match. I can take my 3 month old with me everywhere. It is super lightweight and easy to fold up and throw in the back of my suv. I take it everywhere because it is so easy to manuever. I would recommend this to anyone.

We have both the Bob Ironman stroller (in racing yellow) and the Bob Revolution stroller(in mesa orange). We love them both very much. Bob makes a superb product. The Ironman is excellent for walking and especially great for running. It is a comfortable ride for your child, very smooth due to it's slick tires and so super lightweight. It's almost like you aren't pushing anything at all. We've put hundreds of miles on our Ironman. The Ironman was the only stroller that my toddler would sit in for any length of time without getting fussy. That is, until we got our Revolution. It has a more padded seat and he sits just as well in it. The reason we got the Revolution was because the Ironman just didn't work when we needed to take it with us the the mall, or sightseeing. It is too hard to turn and maneuver in cramped spaces. Hands down, I recommend that you buy a Bob, just decide which fits your needs better.

We love the bob. It was easy to assemble and attach the car seat adaptor. It is smooth and easy to control.

I really love this stroller. Jogging is hard enough without pushing a stroller, but the bob rev is so easy to "drive". I first bought a fixed wheel Kelty, but it did not take long for me to resent jogging with a stroller. It was so hard to push and control. I run on streets, so I need to be able to control the stroller. My little plastic wheeled stroller was better than the combersome, large fixed wheel. The bob stroller is also much, much easier to turn even with the wheel fixed. The shock absorbers are amazing and I can lift the front wheel effortlessly. This comes in handy with sleeping baby. The other stroller's balance made lifting gently, impossible thus waking sleeping baby. The seat recline is awesome, easy to do while on a walk/jog. My 7 month old likes his new ride, however, I'd love it if the sun shade would detach and rotate to block the sun more. I may buy somekind of additional sun shade. Another better feature than the fixed wheel Kelty was the ease of folding and unfolding. And folded, the stroller can be secured closed with the safety "leash". Overall, I love this stroller because it allows me to jog again!

The Bob Revolution was all we hoped for. It is extremely easy to push while jogging, that I hardly notice it is there. My baby loves it and it seems to be really comfortable for him. WE couldn't be happier

I've had this stroller about a month, and have run and fast-walked with it regularly. My 12.5 pound granddaughter fits comfortably and securely with the addition of the Kiddopotamus Snuzzler, but without it the harness would be too big. Her ride is smooth and she typically goes to sleep after 15 minutes. The canopy covers well in all situations except late winter afternoon, when I have to shade her legs and feet. The front wheel when locked tracked absolutely straight from the beginning, with no discernable wobble at all. The stroller moves so effortlessly that I can practically push it by breathing on it, and with the front wheel unlocked it is highly maneuverable. For travel, it's a bit heavy and bulky, but opening and closing is a snap once you practice a couple of times. I got the extra console, a must. One caution: I hadn't ever used a leash on a stroller, and one time I dropped it and immediately stepped on it, causing a very abrupt stopping of the stroller. Don't let this happen!

I have been through several strollers in the past year, this is the best. There are few sidewalks in the hills where I live and lots of traffic. With this stroller I can easily maneuver on and off curbs without tipping it. It is the smoothest ride yet and my 15 month old son loves the comfort of this stroller. The only improvement would be if the sun visor swiveled forward a bit. It definately has great sun protection, but the sun still gets in my sons eyes at times. As he grows, it won't be an issue so it is still the best stroller yet!

Just as almost everyone promised in the numerous reviews I read on your site - I LOVE MY BOB!! It's not only beautiful, but it performs like a dream. I put it together in a snap since the instructions were so great. It also handles like a dream on the rough terrain around my house. I took it up a steep, rocky hill today and also down my winding gravel driveway without a problem. My 7 week old was so securely strapped in using a Kiddopotamus insert that she fell asleep after a few minutes of walking. The shocks on the BOB minimize all of the bumps and the steering is wonderful. I'm so glad that I did so much research and chose the BOB Revolution and your site. I heart BOB and JoggingStroller.com.

This review is for travelers rather than joggers. We live in London and waited eagerly for a trip to the US to buy the stroller. We are not as dedicated joggers as most of the reviewers and our main usage is more for traveling, hiking and day to day. Since we bought it our daughter rolled in it through the hills and cobbled streets of villages in several countries in southern Europe as well as regular visits to parks in the UK. So the usage was pretty extensive with all sorts of train tested. The stroller is a winner. I can?t think of any other stroller I would want instead of it. The stroller goes smoothly through most terrain and is easy to handle whether it is a sandy beach or a hilly trail. The BOB SUS is probably better off road but we chose the Revolution because we thought that it would be easier to handle in narrow alleys and day to day use. We were not wrong. You do need the swivel wheel. The large canopy is great even under the strong Sicilian sun though I would strongly recommend buying the sun and weather shields. We use them a lot. I would also recommend the Warm and Fuzzy, the Handlebar Console and the Traveler Bag (which you need especially if you fly). On day to day usage in London the buggy is fine. A bit big but so are the bugaboo hordes. It is not perfect due to two problems (though I did not have the heart to give it 4 as it is pretty good on its main functions). 1. The stroller doesn't lock when folded and this is very uncomfortable if you need to get it in and out of the car, as you do if you travel. You are advised by BOB to use hand strap to tie the front wheel to the rear axle, which practically means dragging it through the mud under the buggy - not good. The cheap and cheerful strollers have this lock feature, why not BOB? It looks like lack of attention to detail. 2. Not the stroller 'the BOB Stroller Diaper Bag' it has no cover and therefore fills with rainwater. Why on earth would anyone design an outdoor bag that you can't close? All in all - it is great and highly recommended.

We purchased this stroller 1 month ago after about 6 months of using an inexpensive umbrella stroller. I haven't run seriously in years, but valued the ease and maneuverability of a running style stroller (and secretly cherish the thought that I will get back to running) and were mostly looking for a stroller that would go everywhere (shopping, city and neighborhood walks, international travel, etc). After 1 month of ownership I can say that it is a world of difference from the previous stroller. It is perfect for walks in our neighborhoods and in the city-ups and downs of curbs, gravel, potholes, grass etc. I really dithered on whether to buy a fixed-wheel or rotating-wheel stroller, and this has both options so is perfect for our needs. Mostly we use the swivel wheel, but find that fixing the wheel makes it easier to get up short sets of steps. Our 1 yr old son loves it. He seems very comfortable in it, and has been able to fall asleep in it?something he wouldn't do with the old stroller. While it does not have a child tray, it does have little mesh pockets on the interior side of the seat?and our son likes fishing Cheerios and his pacifier out of them during the walk. The under-seat storage space is more than sufficient for standard take-along baby items. One aspect of concern for me is the height allowance due to the canopy. Our son is a tall 2 ½ feet and his head is about 3 inches from touching the canopy when it is folded back. When he gains those extra inches, I am concerned that his head will be resting against the folded canopy instead of the seat back, which strikes me as pretty uncomfortable. As we have not had it very long, I cannot comment on certain aspects: -The long-term quality. As this was a very pricey buy for us, I am expecting it to last a very long time! However, the quality at present seems to be of a rugged, lasting material and build. -Ease of travel. At 22 pounds, it is considerably heavier than the old stroller. The folding mechanism couldn't be easier. However, the folded size is understandably bulky. As we do a lot of air travel, I have some concerns about the ease with which we will be able to fold and go. Overall, we are pleased with this purchase. Our baby likes it, so that makes it a good buy in our books. The majority of reviews we read seemed to accurately represent our experience with this stroller, so we feel as though we knew what we were getting and are optimistic about continued use.

I couldn't be happier with my BOB Stroller. I did a ton of research and comparison before I bought, and the decision was clear. You can't get anything better than this, even if you spend more. It is a joy to go for walks and runs, and I find myself finding lame excuses to go out just to use. My daughter loves this stroller and seems to be super comfy and is constantly falling asleep! There was alot of thought put into detail on this stroller and I applaud BOB on making something so high quality and affordable. I am one happy mom (and dad finally wants to go for walks)!

We purchased the BOB revolution stroller to compliment our active lifestyle and have not been disappointed. We run, jog and walk with this stroller. It is extremely smooth and requires very little input to steer. We have been impressed with its performance and are very happy with its size. We would recommend this stroller to everyone, even if you never intend on running or jogging. It is that practical while having great performance potential.

I love my Bob stroller. I am only giving it 4 stars because my husband doesn't agree. I have no complaints- found it easy to run with and fantastic for walking around town, etc. My husband complains that it is too bulky and heavy for daily use(we have used a Maclaren Triumph for the last 2 years which he prefers). He also complains that the stroller pulls hard to one side when he runs fast. I have not tried to adjust it yet to correct this complaint. His final complaint which I can agree with is that the under seat storage is not easy to access and doesn't hold much. My 3 year old daughter loves the stroller and seems very comfortable in it although her head nearly hits the top of the sun shade. We are having #2 soon and this was more a purchase for me to take him running once he is old enough- overall it is very roomy for the child.

I love this stroller. I bought one in pink. I have had no problems at all. I took it on a beach vacation and pushed my 4 month old in the sand everyday with ease. I recommend this stroller to everyone. I bought the Double Handlebar Console drink holder accessory and the Kiddopotamus Snuzzler stroller insert for mine and love both of these, as well.

After much research..I chose the BOB Revolution and my baby and I could not be happier. My son is now 17 months and LOVES being in his new stroller. I had a much cheaper one before that fell apart pretty quickly and my son was not comfortable. He NEVER fell asleep in the stroller but has fallen asleep in the BOB every day since I have had it. He also became upset when I put him in another stroller I have and pointed to the BOB...He wanted to ride it it! Also..Thanks jogging stroller.com for providing service to those of us who live abroad with the military. I live in Japan and had my stroller in 2 weeks. That is awesome. I highly rec this site to military families. Your live chat is awesome too and a big help. So convenient. Thanks. COuld not be happier with my stroller and your service.

This stroller is everything everyone says it is! Great height, nice and wide, and smooth ride. My daughter and I love it. The only concern i have is that I purchased this particular stroller because of the age and weight limits......My daughter is 33 inches and 25 pounds and it doesn't look as though she has much head room to grow. I wish someone would have specified the length limits. But other than that the stroller is everything everyone says it is!

This is a great stroller and it's inspiring me to walk everyday with my 2.5 y.o. I debated whether to get the swivel front wheel or not and I'm so glad I did. It makes walking on my city streets so much easier. This stroller is not small and I don't think I'd take it to a mall, but I didn't purchase it for that reason. My son seems very comfortable in it, although I have had some trouble adjusting the shoulder straps. This could just be because I started using it the second I got it and haven't bothered reading the directions much! The orange color is awesome too--I'm glad I chose it!

My husband and I did countless hours of research before purchasing this stroller. We couldn't be more pleased with it! Quick to arrive, easy to assemble, and performs great! It is easy to fold and go, and also performs well on the beach. For running, jogging, or walking I would recommend this stroller! Very comfortable - My daughter was 5 mos. when we purchased it, and now at 8 mos. still naps on almost every stroll that we take. I would suggest purchasing the double handlebar console which allows you to carry cell phone, and 2 drinks. Well worth the price!

Overall, I love the way you push and it is so light & easy. My baby is almost 7 months old and he didn't like it at first. I realized that the cardboard back is bent at the base...I think that is why he was being fussy. I had to lay a soft, cushy blanket on the bent cardboard and he rides fine now.

Before purchasing a jogging stroller I did a lot of research and asked my running friends for advice and this stroller came highly recommended. It is very light, easy to manuever and durable. My husband put it together in about 10 min. and it's very easy to fold up and put in the car. My six month old son loves going out for runs in it! I also like the fact that the top extends out pretty far and blocks quite a bit of the sun. Overall, it's a great stroller for the money.

After a great deal of research, it seemed like the BOB stroller best fit our needs. We wanted a swivel front wheel that was very reliable, a stroller that we could easily maneuver in tight spots, and it had to be lightweight. Now that we have used it for a couple of weeks - we are sooooooo glad we bought this stroller! It is very easy to push and turn on the soccer fields, sidewalks, and on paths in the woods. Also, it is light & easy to lift! Our daughter is too young for jogging right now but we look forward to the day we can use our BOB for jogging! I highly recommend this stroller!!! Also, we were amazed by how quickly we received our stroller...we submitted the order on a Monday morning and recieved the stroller the very next morning!

My BOB arrived right away and was simple to put together. My son is 7 months old and is able to ride very comfortably in it. I have taken the stroller for jogs on an uneven gravel trail and he never makes a peep. It is convenient even for trips to the mall thanks to the swivel wheel. This is my everyday stroller and I wouldn't trade it for the world. The sun shade covers all the way over the foot wells. I also don't have any trouble folding or loading it into my car. It is a little bulky when folded up but considering the size of the stroller it's very acceptable!

The best thing that I can say about this stroller is that it pushes very easily and turns well. This stroller does not fold as easily as they boast, nor is the canopy very good. The recline feature may allow an older child to rest; but, it is dangerous for smaller babies and uncomfortable for them,even when using an infant cushion/adapter. After reading in the manual that your child's head will hit the ground before the handlebar if it tips backward, I did not feel the seat was designed or marketed properly. If it can't be reclined safely, the jogger should not recline as far and be reserved for older babies. The stroller was very pretty, but I don't think the quality was what it was cracked up to be. It arrived with a warped wheel and the fabric (nonremovable) did not appear to be durable, expecially given the poor design of the foot well, which would become filthy in short order. As far as portability goes, the stroller was heavy and cumbersome & I would not consider this to be a unit for traveling to amusement parks, outdoor trails, or anywhere else, unless you walked there. As for the jogging feature, I never tried it out. I was so disappointed with the stroller that I returned it...the BOB is not what it's cracked up to be.

We purchased this stroller after many, many hours of research on jogging strollers. I wanted to make sure that I purchased the perfect one... and I DID! It came in just a few days, was very easy to assemble. At the time, my daughter was 5 months old, and she absolutely loved the stroller! She either takes a nap when we go jogging, or just sits and looks at the scenery.

I spent many months researching jogging strollers and finally purchased a Bob Revolution. I couldn't be happier! Neither could my little girl (8 months). This stroller was easy to put together, provides a smooth and comfortable ride, and is easy to handle. My only complaint is that the sunshade doesn't provide adequate coverage at certain angles. Also, it's inconvenient to have to purchase a cupholder separately; however, the backseat pouch and underseat storage are adequate for placing a drink/phone,etc. The service through JoggingStroller.com was great. The delivery was quick and the stroller arrived in perfect condition!

My wife and I looked at all the top end strollers...Bugaboo, Rockstar, Baby Jogger, etc. After lots and lots of research and demos we settled on the Bob Revolution as we are active people and wanted one stroller that we could use for everything. This stroller delivers. The swivel front wheel that can be locked into place makes it super convenient , very stable, lots of storage, and great for running. Also, I couldn't find a better price than on JoggingStroller.com. You won't regret buying this stroller and it really can be the only stroller you ever need (at least until you add another child to your family)!

I went for a jog yesterday...it was all that I'd expected it to be. Very smooth! Even up hill. I'd recommend purchasing this stroller.

The Revolution is a well built stroller that can take the abuse children can bring. Whether jogging, walking on the beach or off-roading, this stroller handles it all with ease.

So after weeks of research on many web sites, joggingstroller.com by far has the most comprehensive and honest reviews though. I was between the Dreamer and the BOB revolution and I finally decided to by the BOB Revolution in Mesa Orange. I received the stroller and accessories 3 days after I ordered it and I live in Florida so i am impressed! The orange color is much nicer in person. I put it together and took it out for a spin and I am not disappointed! It is everything everyone says it is and more! The directions are a little confusing, once I figured out what they meant it was easy enough to install. I am still going to call BOB's customer service just to double check that I did it right though. I can't run with my son just yet as he is only 5 month's old so we just went for a quick walk but I can tell that this stroller is going to run like a dream. The handling is superb and it is so light! Plus it stays right on track with the wheel locked and unlocked it swivels without any resistance. The seat padding looks hard in the pictures but it is actually a lot softer than it looks. I wish I would have gotten this stroller from the beginning! Our old stroller is going to Grandmas's and it will stay there! BOB is all we need!

I got this as a substitute for my fixed wheel jogger because my wrists were hurting after runs. Now I warm up and cool down in swivel mode and lock the wheel only when I'm actually running. I tried several fixed wheel joggers and all of them hurt my wrists unless I was really running at top speed. This stroller works great as a substitute for my fixed wheel jogger. I just lock the wheel forward when jogging and it tracks straight. I don't feel any wiggle in the front wheel and the 16 inch rear wheels make it feel really light to push. Then when I am walking home from my jog and I have to navigate through crowded sidewalks, I just engage the swivel wheel and don't have and difficulty steering. The little details are great, I like the huge canopy with large window, and the very compact fold (smallest I've seen in a stroller I can jog with). There are a few small details I would change. I wish they offered a version with the aluminum wheels like the SUS d'Dux. I also wish there were some zippered or velcro pockets on the back or in the basket. It would also be great if it had a locking clip so it locked when folded. Finally, I wish there were more colors. The red cost more but the navy and orange both are way too dark if you plan on walking at night. We have some areas here without sidewalks and I really would have preferred red or another bright color. The only other thing I'd change is that the seat sometimes is a little slouchy. Check to make sure your little one will like this one before buying, some might prefer to have more upright back support.

It's true - all the good things that have been said are true! Easy assembly, awesome performance, comfort for the little passenger - all true. Worth the cost.

Great stroller. Just what I was looking for. My daughter is very comfortable. Smooth ride.

I researched a ton of strollers before making this purchase as we already have another pricey stroller that we love. However, my husband loves to run and since there is no time for me to go the gym I thought I too could benefit from a jogging stroller. Let me just say that it arrived 3 days after I purchased it-- hooray!!! My husband ran with our 6 month old son in a benefit 3 mile race the day after it arrived and loved it. It is so lite and easy to push-- it makes walking, strolling, shopping fun; it actually pulls you. I gave my in-laws the other stroller as this one is fantastic. It reclines for my son's naps and has ample storage for all of our stuff. I am in love with this site and the stroller. Cheers to a stroller and a website getting it right on all accounts.

My wife and I purchased the BOB Revolution and, at the price point we paid for it, I expect it to be a great stroller. And it is. I couldn't be happier. It arrived quickly, was easy to assemble, works perfectly (and comfortably for our child) and is adaptable to any situation or environment. But what impressed me the most was the customer service - and we didn't even speak with anyone. Just the mere fact that they were certain to give us timely updates throughout the ordering and shipping process blew me away. They care about the customer and it shows throughout everything they do.

This jogging stroller was 100% on the money. I wanted something that would be easy to walk and jog with. After researching the different models on this website, the BOB Revolution was absolutely the best combo: jogging stroller/all terrain stroller for the money. I even chatted with a helpful customer service representative when I was deciding between the BOB and the Mountain Buggy. I also took the suggestion from someone in the reviews and bought the Snuzzler to help my then 3 month old son feel more comfortable in the stroller and keep his head from wobbling. I highly recommend it if you start using the stroller when your child is an infant (3 months or so). Great purchase and great help from joggingstroller.com in choosing the right stroller for me.

I spent days trying to figure out which jogging stroller to buy. And after calling a bunch of distributors, checking out a bunch of strollers in local stores and reading what Consumer Reports had to say, I chose the Revolution by BOB. And it is as AWESOME as everyone said. I purchased the Chocolate/Pink model and not only is it a good looking stroller that I am proud to push ANYWHERE I go, my daughter loves the ride, its easy to use, easy to put in the car, etc... etc... etc... Long story short - I love it!!! And I would buy it all over again! Oh, and the locking swivel wheel is fantastic. It is so easy to maneuver around town and then lock it in place and its a jogging stroller that beats all others. Thanks Joggingstroller.com for the recommendation (although, you sent me the wrong color pedometer - but that's another story).

Before purchasing this stroller I did a lot, and I mean a lot, of jogging stroller research. After finally making the hard decision to spend a lot of money on this stroller, I knew I made the right decision after using it a few times. The canopy covers almost my sons entire body, not to mention he finds it very comfortable. He falls asleep in it during every jog. I use the Revolution for speed walking or jogging around my neighborhood. It is easy to push, easy to maneuver when using the swivel wheel, and seems to be a very smooth ride. We plan on taking it on the beach because it is easy to push, will protect my son from the sun, and he can take a nap. My husband and I are very happy with it, and I would recommend this stroller to anyone who enjoys exercising outside.

I've written one review before but didn't put much useful content, so here we go again Pros: - Extremely light, I can drive this stroller with one hand on a two hour walk, even on non paved trails - Solid, there is no shaking or wobbling when pushing this stroller - Front wheel, when locked, it doesn't move a millimeter, and when unlocked it swivels without any friction at all - Top cover, the large top cover protects your baby/toddler from sun, even in the morning sun, it does extend quite far - Accessories, I would recommend the bug/sun cover, the rain cover and the cup holder, all fit the stroller perfectly Cons: - The tire and the tube that come on the stroller are not thorn resistant. If you hike in thorny areas you can expect a flat pretty quickly. Expect to have to buy a thorn resistant tube, but replacing it is easy - Somewhat hard to fold up, not intuitive - The reclining mechanism is not optimal, and requires two hands to work, sun also shines in when seat is fully reclined I would recommend this stroller whether you are jogging, walking, hiking trails or simply walking around in the mall. It works in every possible scenario, It is so far beyond any of the stuff you can buy in the regular retail stores.

We had a travel system already with carseat and stroller, but I started doing an exercise program with my baby in the stroller and I was just tearing up my regular stroller. Since this stroller can be used with the carseat adapter it is perfect, I wish we just got this one in the first place! It is so smooth and we have bumpy roads/sidewalks in our neighborhood so this is great just for a regular stroll, reduces the bouncing on uneven surfaces. I love how easy it turns when you have the front wheel in the unlocked position. You do have to make sure you always put the brake on if you even step away for a moment because it seems to easily roll. It is easy to fold and lift into our vehicle and doesn't take up any more space than our other stroller did.

this is an absolutely fantastic stroller. the only problem I am having is that one tire keeps going flat. I cant seem to find the culprit of the problem. other than that, best stroller I've ever used, handles great.

For me, it was between the Baby Jogger City Series, or the Bob Revolution. I liked the singular folding action of the Baby Jogger. But then I also like the fact that you can adjust the front wheel in the Bob in jogging position. It was sort of a toss-up, and ultimately, I chose the Revolution because I do intend to go running with my son once he's old enough to withstand the bouncing around. The best feature about this (I am sure the Baby Jogger too) is its maneuverability. I strolled around with the Valco tri-mode, and Bugaboo and found the Bob and Baby Jogger to be the best. The Revolution can easily be your only stroller in an urban setting. It handles NYC sidewalks effortlessly and I look forward to the walks in the park. The best thing about this stroller is that it's NOT a Bugaboo. Nary 75% of all strollers in Manhattan are Bugaboos, especially in Central Park. I tried out the Bugaboo with an opened mind, as several of my friends have them. I admit that the Bugaboo is a smooth ride, but the Bob Revolution (and Baby Jogger to boot) is even smoother. People buying the Bugaboo must have some sort of celebrity infatuation I think, as many don't place much thought into the purchase. Oh, the Bugaboo is a pain to collapse into a cab/car. Also, the storage in the Bugaboo is somewhat of an afterthought. I'm glad I have my Revolution and will never be accused of being a Sarah-Jessica-Parker-wannabe. My only gripe about the Revolution is for the mfr to provide a strap or mechanism to keep the stroller folded when carrying. I know you can use the safety strap to achieve this goal, but a mechanism dedicated to this task would have been nice. Otherwise, I give it 5 stars.

This is a fantastic stroller. It is like pushing a dream! My 1-yr old son loves it also. He eats a banana in it every morning as we go for our walk and the fabric cleans up very easily. The sun flap covers him very well. I am able to push him easily over bumps and sticks and anything else that might be in the road. The only complaint that I have is that it has no food tray for my son. Since I got this stroller, however, my friend told me that the car seat adapter converts to a food tray. If I had known this I would have ordered one even though I will not be using it with a car seat. I guess if I want one now I will have to pay the extra shipping. I did quite a bit of research before buying this stroller and I never saw the mention of this food tray on joggingstroller.com's web site or in any of the reviews. If you are going to buy this stroller, I highly recommend looking into the food tray - my son has to eat his morning o's off of his lap.

Also, I found this stroller for about $50 less from some other sites but (after reading company reviews) I just did not trust them to get me the stroller in a timely manner. Joggingstroller.com is a fantastic company and I received my stroller in about 3 days. I would definitely order from them again.

Thanks for the compliment. We certainly don't overprice on purpose, but we're also not a discount site. Prices on high end goods like this are dictated by the manufacturer, and anyone discounting them likely has something going on they're not showing. We have our own uniques that we push, like our customer service, shipping the same day, inexpenisve return insurance, etc.... Nice to hear feedback like that.

I love my new stroller! My stroller arrived in two days with free shipping.. who can beat that? It was easy to set up: My hubby and I did it in about 10 minutes and we were off and running! The wheels are so strong and bouncy and one hand control of the stroller is no problem. VERY easy to steer, no matter how slow or fast. My four month-old fell asleep as soon as we got out of the neighborhood. Very smooth ride. Would recommend it to anyone who needs to navigate any bumps in the road while going for a walk. You do not have to be a jogger to enjoy this stroller.

I was very much disappointed with this stroller. I felt that it was extremely overpriced for what it is. The quality of the stroller just does not seem to reflect the pricetag and it feels like BOB skimped with even the important aspects of the stroller. For example there is no padding in the seat of the stroller!! My son complaines he can feel the bar of the frame underneath the canvas seat. Additionally the "foot plate" is just a piece of fabric. My son likes to get in and out of the stroller himself and the fabric footplate is so unstable I'm afraid he'll fall or it will rip when he stands on it. The lockable swivel wheel is nice but the way it locks is very industrial feeling and it seems like they didn't put much thought into it. A push button would be much better or anything other than the grey painted lever. I also feel that over time dirt would get in there and make the lever difficult to flip. The large canopy is also nice, but since we like to have evening strolls, it does not extend far enough over the seat to block out the setting sun. I had heard so many good things about the Revolution that I didnt really look into it before I bought it. There's nothing "wrong" with it, it works fine, but I didnt feel it was worth the price and there are now a couple other stroller/joggers with lower prices that look like much higher quality. Next time around I will definitely chose another brand and of course, research the item before I buy it.

Wow! Thanks for the review. Of the thousands of BOB's sold and 70 4 & 5 star reviews, it's almost refreshing to hear something negative. You mentioned the quality ot being there, I can assure you that this stroller is of absolute top quality of all strollers out there, and we look at strollers all around the world, even the ones we don't sell, so you may not find one to meet your standards. I question some of your points, but I respect your opinion.

Some here think this review is from a competitor of BOB, and they didn't leave an email for us to ask them, but we decided to post it anyway. 1 bad one out of 70 isn't too bad, particularly in an environment where people tend to go more out of their way to post negative comments than positive.

I have had this stroller for about a month and overall, I love it. There are a few things I don't like but can live with. The seat back is not very firm/sturdy, it bows/bends out so my little guy can't really sit up straight or rest against it and have a straight back. He always looks like he's slouched over when it's all the way up or in the partial-reclined position. I expect it should get better as he gets bigger. Also, one of the tubes for the main tires keeps going flat (it did come like this). It's a slow leak so I can fill it and go walking, but overnight it leaks; which is an easy fix if you have a repair kit (I don't but plan to try and find one!). Other than that, I was surprised how easily and compactly the stroller folds, it fits nicely into the trunk of my car with plenty of room to spare (I have a Jetta) for groceries or whatever. I didn't even have to take the wheels off. The ride is really smooth and bumpy sidewalks are no problem, haven't tried it off-roading yet though. I bought the stroller console so I can take a bottle and my cell/keys with me and a stroller pod (to pair with a Suunto t3) which doesn't really fit on the tire so I'm looking to try and creatively rig it up somehow-- I'm open to suggestions! The ride is smooth for the little one and since the canopy is so big, getting caught in the rain is no big deal. It would be nice if the basket on the bottom was a tad easier to get to or a wee bit larger so I could make this my primary stroller, but that's just nit-picking. Again, I love this stroller, we go on hour-long walks and the little guy really seems to enjoy it. The inside pockets are great for toys/knick-knacks!

My sister-in-law is an avid marathon runner & highly recommended getting a BOB. I first tried to get this stroller both at Babies R Us and REI, but was told I had to order it online & wait at least 2 weeks! Plus, shipping was only free if I picked it up at their stores... After consulting Baby Bargains (the book) I was lucky enough to hear about joggingstroller.com! Ordered it on a Thursday afternoon, and the Fedex truck showed up Saturday! Kudos to you guys for such speedy delivery & for zero cost shipping while keeping the price competitive! So far I am very happy with the Revolution, have already taken it on multiple runs and to Costco - the swivel wheel makes it very manuverable(in aisles, elevators, etc) and the tires/shocks are great on uneven terrain. My 14 month old loves the ride & the speed! Only 2 suggestions I would have for BOB are: please consider including the cup/key holder attachment as standard equipment (who isn't going to want one?) and add a way to quickly keep the stroller locked in the folded postion (currently you have to manually re-route the safety strap to bind up the stroller) Design/performance wise, this is an excellent all-purpose jogger.

Very pleased with the BOB Revolution 2007. Far less expensive than Bugaboo. With front wheel in swivel mode, it turns on a dime. With front wheel locked for jogging or roller blading, it's very sturdy. We have to adjust the front wheel slightly so it doesn't pull to one side, but that shouldn't be difficult. Heavy and very bulky stroller when folded, so it's not for everyday use (eg, shopping or visiting friends) when you're pulling a stroller in and out of the trunk frequently. Wheels pop off very easily for loading into trunk. No regrets about this stroller.

My son and I just got back from our first walk with our new BOB Revolution. I'm thrilled with everything about this stroller. Being a runner, I researched all of the running-specific strollers available. I tried to talk my wife into a sleek 20-inch-wheeled number, but she said she wanted something with a turning front wheel for better maneuverability. So, I started my research all over thinking we?d end up with some watered down jogging-style stroller that would weigh a ton and not be good for anything. Then, I discovered the Revolution. I was immediately drawn to the locking front wheel. It seemed too good to be true. I read other reviews (all positive) and compared it to similar strollers from Baby Jogger, Schwinn, and other companies. The Revolution always came out on top. It's lighter than the others in its class. Actually, it's only slightly heavier than the BOB Ironman and the Baby Jogger Performance. I pushed it up a couple of short hills with no problem at all. Running up hills while pushing this stroller will be a piece of cake. It also folds up smaller than the others. My wife and I both love how smooth the BOB is. The 16-inch composite wheels spin with no resistance and roll over bumps with ease. I was amazed by how easy it is to push. The shocks soak up little bumps nicely, making the ride very smooth. I know it was a smooth ride because our son slept through whole thing. The Revolution is also incredibly maneuverable. We can steer it in and out of tight spaces and doorways with ease. I have no fear of taking this stroller to the grocery store. With the front wheel locked, the Revolution is a full-on jogging/running stroller. I can see us doing 5-mile runs with no problems. The lockout switch and tracking adjustment knob for the front wheel are very simple and easy to access. The reclining seat is also great. When our son is older, the reclining seat will allow him to lay back and be more comfortable when we?re just tooling around the neighborhood and shopping. And, the giant canopy will protect him from the sun, rain, snow, wind, etc. I'm 6'2 and I had no problem running behind the bob. My feet and knees didn't hit it once. One big selling point for us was the car-seat adapter. It installed easily and is very sturdy. Even better, the stroller can still be folded with the adaptor attached. One suggestion: If you have a Graco Snugride car seat, wrap two pieces of the extra foam packing material on either side of where the car seat hook attaches to the adaptor. The seat will fit more securely on the bar. Without the foam, the seat moves around a bit. It?s not a problem with the adaptor; it?s just how the bottom of the car seat is designed. Also, put a towel under the seat so that it sits level when installed in the stroller. Without the towel, the seat was too upright, and our son, who is only 11 weeks and doesn?t have much neck strength, slouched down in the seat and had trouble keeping his head up. The BOB Revolution is truly the best of both worlds: it?s a lightweight, solid running stroller and a comfortable, maneuverable stroller for shopping and walking. If you?re in the market for a stroller that does everything, try this one first and then compare it to the others. You will not be disappointed. Even runners will be impressed.

I gotta say I read all the reviews and gotta sat i am sold. the negative anyone can say was no cuphoder and that the hadle bear wore off. well i am sure the gentlmen who wore the handle bar was an active user. its great u wore it off, now u can upgrade with a good grip wrap of your choice. and the cupholers, there are million ways u can add one. and u cant complain about price you can have this from infant to 70lbs. i didnt even get mine but cant wait.

After purchasing a fixed wheel stroller I returned that for the Revolution. The ability to fix the swivel wheel and run with it is amazing. It's great around town, perfect for the sidewalks of NYC, and also good as a jogger. Drawbacks: no cup holder, foot brake a bit hard to get to. LOVE the recline feature, my 5 mo naps (too often) in it. Also love the large sun canopy. Others have described it as the "cadillac" of strollers, so smooth.

This stroller is the best. It strolls with ease and handles well. It also draws a lot of curious questions and positive comments. After researching strollers while pregnant, the BOB Revolution was our first choice and first stroller purchase. We used it for recreation, and bought others for specific activities.My son is now two and this is the only remaining stroller. He has outgrown some. Others just weren't sturdy or worth the price. The BOB is the only stroller he would choose to sit in as he got older. We got rid of the rest and take this everywhere. I definitely recommend this stroller. It is the best purchase we have made for our son.

I know that most people don't need to stroller shop for thier almost 3 year old child. However our son is autistic and has no concept of danger so must be safely ensconced in a stroller for most outings. Unfortunately my son is also 40 lb and over 3 feet tall at 2 1/2 years old, so stroller shopping was far more difficult than I had anticipated. Although my husband first balked at the cost of the BOB, after researching we found that there really aren't that many options when you need a stroller that can hold a child more than 40 lb. After some serious negotiating I was able to convince him to spend the money - and am I ever glad I did! The BOB revolution is fantastic! My son loves going for walks and jogs in it, has plenty of room, and he looks great in the masculine blue colour. As a parent of a child with exceptional needs I am happy to report that this stroller will safely hold him for a long while to come. The only slight criticism I have is that for the price it really should come with a cupholder.

We originally bought the Bumbleride Rocket because it came with all the accessories and it was a little cheaper than the BOB, but the more we used it the more frustrated we got with it! I thought the Bumbleride could be used as a jogging stroller, but it just doesn't work! I also got very frustrated that the Rocket took up our entire trunk (we have a Toyota Matrix). The first time we pushed the BOB, we could tell a huge difference, so we decided to sell our Rocket and get a BOB instead. We made the right choice. They weigh the same, but the BOB is so much easier to push and handle--it is amazing! Now we can use it for running and for navigating in stores. We run with it without locking the swivel wheel, and it works great and feels secure. It turns so easily that I can go in between racks of clothes with no problem! It takes up much less space in our car, and it folds much more easily than the Rocket.

I do think that for the price, BOB could include a few accessories--at least a cupholder! But it maneuvers so well and is so easy to take in and out of the car that we don't mind sticking our bottles of water in the basket instead.

I highly recommend the BOB Revolution.

Please Note! When running, you should ALWAYS lock the swivel wheel to the stationary position. Per the instruction manual of the stroller, the swivel position is not intended for running for jogging, only strolling.

Love this jogger. Sturdy, tracks well, smooth ride for the baby, lots of storage. My only complaint is that after six months of frequent use the foam wrap on the handle bar has worn off - I tend to hold it on the same spot with the dog's leash wrapped around my wrist - should hold up better.

Comments from The Staff:

Eek! Give us a ring when you can, and we'll call BOB for you. We will have BOB check to see whether or not that's covered under your warranty. I've never heard of that happening before. I'm sure BOB would be happy to come up with a fix for you. Their customer service is awesome :)

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.

I'm not a runner, but I take my daughter for walks on bumpy sidewalks and across grass. The BOB is a champ -- it rides like a Rolls Royce over the worst surfaces. I couldn't use it as my daily stroller, though:
1) The basket is too small (not for a jogging excursion, but for other errands).
2) The five point harness seems to have adjustments all over the place, and I still find it too complicated.
3) I didn't buy the cup holder accessory, but I really think it should be standard (maybe next year).
4) The JJ Cole Bundle Me (infant size) doesn't fit well.
5) The stroller is too big and bulky to lift into a car or put away in a closet, even when folded (you must remove the rear wheels to get it flat), so I just park it in a room we don't use.
Those are all of the negatives I can think of. The positives are that it is a high quality product, it pushes like a dream, and is cool to look at. The basket is a good size for a short excursion, and if you twist the window cover of the sunshade before velcroing it down, it'll make a pouch that can hold your iPod pretty well. We got a 2006 in Mesa Orange, which is NOT safety vest orange as it may appear, but a more tomato soup-y burnt orange. Customer service seems friendly and competent (I called when I couldn't figure out how to use the harness). Despite the drawbacks that necessitate owning another stroller for daily use, I heartily recommend the BOB Revolution!

We purchased the Bob Revolution stoller in early 2006 and have enjoyed every moment since. Had I known what a wonderful all purpose stroller this would be I never would have registered for the Peg Perego Pliko. The BOB is so multifuntional we have used it for everything from everyday shopping, jogging/walks to travel- where we gate check the stoller. Our only regret is that we didn't purchase it sooner while our toddler was still in her baby seat (we would have gotten the car seat adapter to go with it). I now understand what it means to have a stoller that is easy to use and push! It turns on a dime and my daughter seems to love it as well. The storage space on the bottom is great and allows for easy access. I would recommend getting the drinks holder ( so great!) it makes life easy for sippy cups, water or holding keys, cell phone etc. The BOB is worth every penny!

After a lot of research and actually borrowing a friends BOB, we went ahead and spent the money. We have had it a few months now and are really enjoying it! I am not a serious jogger, but we do a lot of walking and some moderate jogging with it. I love the versatility of the shade, it really provides sun and wind coverage. It is very easy to use one handed and handles bumps and turns easily. The only complaint I have is that my daughter is 16 mo. old and we have been taking her on wagon rides as well, so she is starting to want to sit up more than the BOB allows at times! But, overall she seems very content in it! We bought the chocolate and pink and it is really pretty! Great product, worth the money and great company to purchase from. Good service and fast delivery!

My husband and I talked to several people who owned the Revolution who said if they had bought it before their baby was born it would've been the only stroller they bought. So, we decided to only buy the BOB and see if it could be our only stroller. My husband is a triathlete and runs a lot, and we had runners telling us that the BOB was the only way to go as far as jog strollers went. So, we bought the Revolution, the drink holder attachment and the carseat bar attachment all from joggingstrollers.com and love the whole setup. Our daughter is 2 months old, and it's still the only stroller we own. My husband has been trail running with her and says it's great. I love the swivel wheel and maneuverability for everyday use. It's pretty big when you fold it into the trunk, but all jogging strollers are. Joggingstrollers.com had the best price we could find, shipped quickly, and was easy.

I bougth this stroller in Nov. 2006 for our newborn, after having a small stroke over the price. Little did I know that this would be the best money I had spent on the baby thus far. This stroller is GREAT! It's light, easy to put up or down, a great ride, just a great, well-built piece of equipment. We tried it out on a hiking trail for the first time last month. The trail was not well-cared for since the fall, covered in a thick layer of leaves and limbs. The BOB rolled over it like glass! Look no further. Get a BOB.

We bought the BOB Revolution after much research. I think mine is a 2006. Anyhow, I am an avid runner and did not want a jogging stroller, travel system and umbrella stroller. So, I splurged (isn't you child worth it?) and bought the revolution. I also purchased the infant seat adapter so I could use it from day one, and the handle bar cup/holder accessory thingy. So far, so good! My son is three weeks old and we have gone on four walks. (it would be more if it weren't winter) My son LOVES this thing. How do I know? He falls asleep the second we take off. The shocks are great, my husband and I both love pushing it around. We get a ton of compliments on it. Sure, it's a little heavy and pricey, but I can't comprimise safety and ease of use. I definitely recommend a jogging stroller with a swivel front wheel. You will thank yourself later, especially if you plan on using this stoller often. Just remember to lock it in it's stationary position if you are running. We love this thing, so does the baby. Joggingstroller.com and elitecarseats.com are awesome. Have ordered from both and items come fast and customer service is great. Spend the money once and purchase this stroller! Can use until child is 60 or 70 pounds!

After doing ACRES of research on strollers, I decided the BOB Revolution was for me... fortunately the length of time my research took meant that I then found out about the 2007 model & it's improvements/changes. Although I was tempted by the pink & brown, I stuck to my original choice of Mesa Orange. IT'S GORGEOUS! It's a beautiful warm yet bright burnt orange (not a synthetic flourescent shade that your pc probably shows). I have every available accessory & they are all super easy to use. Now all I have to do is wait for baby to arrive so I can start showing it off - I know it will cause a stir - you can see it is a quality item at 50 paces! If I were allowed to have just one wish, it would be this: BOB does not make a "cozytoes"/"boot"/"bunting" & I feel this is a real missed opportunity & the only thing preventing me from giving it a full 5 stars rating. I hope that reading a real review helps... as an aside, our 8 year old son thinks it's cool too.

Although it seems like alot of money to spend, it is well worth it. After you try other joggers, you will see that the BOB revolution is the hummer of all sport utility strollers! It is so smooth, with amazing shocks, you wouldn't believe how easy it is to walk with, jog with, and we have gone everywhere with our BOB; the beach, pier, mall, grocery shopping, sidewalks, dirt paths, all types of terrain. Once you try the BOB, you will not ever need or want anything else! Since our baby was 4 mo. old, he has loved being in this jogger. The harness is safe, there's a locking safety brake, easy to fold up for storage in your car, it's comfortable for him, you can recline your baby in it, and there are lots of pockets for baby bottles, keys, wallets, and you can put stuff on the bottom as well. We have linked toys to the hoops in our BOB so the baby can play without losing his toy. We know that our baby is comfortable in it, because every time we go for a walk with our BOB, our baby falls asleep! Once again, GREAT shocks! There are practical accessories, too that you can color coordinate and be not only organized but stylish as well. You will get lots of use from your BOB as it holds your child safely until 70 lbs. The baby won't outgrow the BOB, like our baby has outgrown our other 2 car seats and strollers. We give 6 stars for this product!

i stopped by REI to exchange some hiking shoes and ended up buying the most expensive accessory for my daughter since her birth...the bob revolution stroller. i was vehemently apposed to spending $359 for an item i thought to be more a status symbol than a practical nessecity...however, after a 15 minute test run through the aisles of other pricey toys i realised this to be the most manueverable and dreamy cruise i've had since my first french kiss with hilary moser in seventh grade. really nice. after returning home with this little rascal i went for a test run in the hills of my recently gentrified neighborhood and highly recommend this stroller for ease of use and giggling bounces provided by my little passenger and...SHOCKS?! ...not to mention the added nod by other parental overspenders in the know. 4 out of 5 stars because the essential kryptonite lock is sold separately.

I absolutely love my BOB Revolution!! According to the BOB website, you can use their strollers for infants as young as 6-8 weeks w/ additional head and neck support. I bought a fleece snuzzler body support and my son has been riding in this stroller snugly since he was 10 weeks old. He loves his daily walks now because he can sit up and look around. We haven't started jogging w/ it yet because he's still too young, but we've navigated rough sidewalks, gravel, sand, and the mall without a problem. My husband teased me about being obsessed w/ this stroller and couldn't believe that I was going to pay so much for a jogger when I could get a much cheaper one at a local department store. When he pushed our son in it for the first time, he fell in love and hasn't teased me since. The only problem that I have with this stroller is that it doesn't lock once you fold it so it can be awkward to get in the trunk at times. It's such an awesome stroller that I don't mind so much. You get what you pay for!!!

I am an avid jogger, approxiamtely 500 miles a year and the revolution is perfect for it. My wife jogs with our dog and I push (with 2 fingers I might add) the BOB Revolution. The quality is excellent and attaching the car seat adapter for our 10 week old was easy. He sleeps in it all the time and we get a nice relaxing workout. I even use it without locking the front wheel when I jog (my pace is about 7-7:30 minute/ mile) and it is very smooth and not "all over the path" like some other joggers. Our Graco car seat fits it like a glove and the attachment to hold water bottles, cell phones, and keys is really handy. For the last 2 months my workouts were going down the hill with our new son being born, I needed a good jogger.

I am an Ranger with the Conservation Forest Ranger Police and I am expected to be in great shape, all of the time (having a baby is no excuse when you are doing Law Enforcement in very remote areas of the woods)

I highly recommend the BOB Revolution and I have researched all of the others(and I mean all of them)

Yes the Revolution and the attachments are pricey but isn't your kid and your quality of life worth it.

I am glad I bought this jogger and I will spread the word to others about the jogger. Thank you BOB!!!

I was all set to get the Mountain Buggy Urban Stroller until I noticed one detail that made me uncomfortable...the seat back was only 18" high. Other than that, the reviews were outstanding, but I found one or two parents who said that while they loved it, their child outgrew the stroller too quickly. Ultimately I couldn't sign up for a $400 stroller that my kid would outgrow in 18 months. So I went with the BOB that has a 21.5" seat back...a full 3.5" more for your kid to grow. And I'm glad I did because our little boy is now 8 months old and in the 95th percentile for height. The BOB isn't the lightest stroller, but it is great for long walks over any type of terrain. To be honest, I don't jog with it much, but I could. For somebody who isn't looking for a hard core jogging stroller and wants more of an all-around, very easy to push and fold, very durable...I'd say this is it.

I purchased the BOB Revolution stroller several months ago and although it was what i would consider and "investment" i have to admit that it was a great one. BOB is an SUV! I live out in the country and this stroller can handle well in the rough terrain outdoors yet glide smoothly through the mall!!! (Use slimy gel in the wheels to help prevent flats). It's swivel wheel locks great during a run (which was something I was worried about it not doing well) and easily unlocks to get around tight areas. Another thing that I liked about it is it's weight capacity (my daugher at 114 lbs could sit in it and it would handle just as well)! The only reason i gave it 4 of 5 stars is that is doesn't have a locking mechanism the holds the stroller together during storage so getting it into my pick-up can sometimes be a little tough. Great product!

We are enjoying our BOB. It was everything I had hoped it would be (after a ton of research). My only complaint about our jogger is that it has the shopping cart wheel effect sometimes. We have changed out our wheels, but it still does it when we run on uneven surfaces. My daughter has been in it since she was 4 months and never fusses. I wish I would have gotten it from the get go because now I have 3 strollers.... We are happy with our purchase!

We live on 10 wooded acres and our BOB Stroller has been a real blessing. I am a mother of 8 and have tried MANY strollers. None compares to BOB. It is exceptionally easy to control even on our hiking trails. My young daughters can fold and load it into our van by themselves. A special thanks to my wonderful husband who surprised me with this stroller when our son was born!

Great stroller! Not only was I looking for a 2nd stroller that would handle well for walks on the bumpy pavement in my neighborhood, but one that would be easy to maneuver while out shopping. I found that with the BOB Revolution. It handles great and the front wheel swivels and is easily locked out for jogging. The stroller folds easily and is reasonably compact. There are two things I would change and that is to have an adjustable height handle and to cushion the edge of the seat where the back of my child's legs rest. I shopped for the stroller online and compared it with many other strollers. The BOB seemed to meet my needs the best. I bought the BOB sight unseen and I love it!!

I recently purchased your stroller from Niche Retail.Com. Your product is the Mercedes Benz of strollers. My wife, child and I are thrilled with it. Also, the service we received from Niche Retail. Com was very good along with their expertise on the product. Thank you.

I love my BOB Revolution. I needed something to walk on several terrains and this even cruised over all the leftovers of Mardi Gras day in the streets of New Orleans without waking the baby. I'm barely 5' and hubby is 6'2" and we both use it comfortably. Hubby said to me one time why didn't we already have one of these (b/c my son was two when we got it). I told him, "you didn't think it was worth all that money." He replied, "Well...I've decided I would have paid twice that for it." Oh, and now when we go out he says you're taking the good stroller right? I gave it 4 stars because I thought the cup holder should come with it, but if you buy that too then it is perfect.

Very easy to use and store. Very light weight. My 8 week old sits just fine in it. The adjustment straps have a lot of movement to adjust from a small baby to a large child. Looks good too, although women might have trouble finding a purse and shoes to match the color.

Comments from The Staff:

Just for the record, BOB is not a man, but an acronym for Beasts of Burden, they started as a bike trailer company. But thanks for the review and you're not the only one making that mistake.

With my son we had a stroller from Target. When we pulled the BOB out of the box you could see that the quality of this stroller exceeded any that we had ever seen. I love it, it is extreemly easy to fold down, and folds down so flat, with or without the wheels. I can even walk my dog with one had and stear the stroller with the other and am in complete control. I love it, I picked the loud Green so everone can spot me, I just wish it came with an parent drink holder organizer. This has to be purchased sperate.

This stroller is great! I have been very pleased with the smooth ride and I love the fact it works well when running and walking. However, I do recommend getting the handlebar console for additional storage.

I couldn't be happier with the BOB Revolution. I started seriously researching jogging strollers after buying a cheaper one from another manufacturer and shipping it back for a number of reasons. I decided to splurge a little on the BOB in hopes of getting a better quality stroller. I have never regretted spending the extra money. Pushing this stroller is like therapy every day. My son loves it too. It's the only time during the day that he sits perfectly still. He is always happy when he's in the Revolution. After pushing it for the first time, my sister was tempted to go out and buy one, and she doesn't even have kids yet! It's the best. I recommend it to any active parent.

I spent a lot of time reading stroller reviews and "test driving" different strollers. I knew a good stroller was worth the investment. My search was over once I tried The Bob. There is nothing like it.

The description of the Bob Revolution is true. The stroller is comfortable for my daughter to ride in, flexibile to move in the smallest of aisles and great control both jogging and walking (the shocks are great!)

This stroller is awesome. I use it jogging, walking, shopping, etc. Its the only stroller I use because its compactable and easy to use with tons of storage.

My complaints would be one the price, but I use it so much it was worth it; and although sufficent, I wish the stroller reclined more.

The Bob cup accessory is a must.

Although expensive, the BOB revolution is a great purchase. The option of having a fixed or swivel front wheel is such a necessity when you jog in a variety of settings (sidewalks, trail, street, etc.). I wish that a console for a cup/bottle of water came standard, but other than that it is a winner!

The Revolution is a great walking stroller and moves very smoothly. It makes great turns and is very easy to push. I haven't tried locking the front wheel to jog yet, so no comment on that feature. I have two complaints with this model: (1) it does NOT LOCK in the closed/folded position so it is very wieldy to place into/remove from the car's trunk. (2) the area where my baby's knees fold over is a hard piece of fabric (similar to the wrist safety strap material) so I pad it with a small blanket. For such an expensive stroller, one would think it could lock in the closed position (the instructions indicate you can use the wrist strap to wrap around it...but you have to dangle it in front and then grab it underneath before lifting and then holding the entire mass together while placing into/out of the trunk). Also, I would have liked the handle bars to be adjustable in height (rotate).

Comments from The Staff:

I have brought up the adjustable handlebar to BOB a few times, and they have shown concearn of durability and safety. This is with good reason, there have been many issues with Jogging Strollers in the past having issues, even recalls. They have attempted to find the 'perfect' height until they engineer this feature to perfection. Great comments, thanks.

I love love love this stroller. I live in a small busy beach town and am constantly running around town in and out of stores etc - its manuevers well. As a matter of fact, if I had to do it all over again I would just buy this stroller with the infant seat adaptor. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars, is because the shocks are squeaky and although I haven't given it much of a chance, I can't seem to get the front wheel to be stationary. Great great stroller

I've been really happy with my BOB so far. I don't jog with it, but I have a very hilly neighborhood, and it handles the and uneven pavement well. It's very easy to push, and my son is very comfortable in it. The big sunshade is a big plus, as is the swivel wheel with the option to lock. The only downside, and it's not really a downside as long as you know what you're getting into, is the weight and size. This is a great stroller for walking or jogging around the neighborhood, but don't even try to get it in the car. It's huge and very heavy.

I have had the Bob Revolution for 6 months and its wonderful. My daughter was 9 months when we got it. Bob reclines enough, provides great shade, no issues with the restraint system, very smooth (haven't tried on dirt). Swivel wheel is great. Only problem I've had is when I unfold it, the mesh on the storage compartment snags (and rips) on the spring hooks attached to the wheels. They also charge extra for the cup holder. Otherwise I would highly recommend it.

I'm a jogger and this stroller is wonderful!! I got the revolution so that I could make turns easily and it has been great. I hardly ever put the front wheel in the lock position. The stroller goes great over gravel, grass and dirt. I got it when my son was 9months and plan on using it to the weight limit. The only thing that is a negative is that the canopy is fixed and you really need it to be able to come down more in the front when the sun is low in the sky. I highly recommend this stroller.

We researched every jogging stroller on the site and narrowed it down to three-with the 3 criteria being swivel wheel-capable, stroller weight and maximum child weight. (I wanted to stay with a stroller about 22-23 pounds as the last jogger I had was 29 pounds and was very heavy to push with a 22-pound baby.) The B.O.B gets rave reviews in all three categories! We bought the orange color which is MUCH prettier than the dayglow hue it appears on the website, but I went off a review from another mom who I.D.'d it as more of a burnt orange color-which it is and is GORGEOUS. The stroller is super light, the maneuverability is excellent and my baby is very tall (32" at 10 months) so I was concerned about him outgrowing it in the leg room department but I don't think that will be a concern-it's quite roomy. I also love the giant wheels in the back-between those and the top-notch shock absorbers the ride is super smooth-even over the gravel and bark-mulch trails all around our home. The only thing that B.O.B overlooks is the fact there is no hand brake or way to slow the stroller down, say if you want to rollerblade behind it on small hills. The only brake is a parking brake.(That's why I only gave it four stars, not five).But overall-that's not really that big of a deal. We decided B.O.B also needs to come out with a cup holder and rear view mirror (so you can see your baby's face) as an accessory package. At any rate, we're buying another one for our office where the baby spends a lot of time. Thanks BOB!

As grandparents, we wanted to get our first baby a really great stroller. The new parents already had a Graco for shopping, etc, but since they live by a park with a decomposed granite path, they wanted a jogging stroller. My husband did some research and we decided on Bob. The kids and grandbaby love it and we've even been allowed to try it out on a neighborhood walk. It glides smoothly and makes turns effortlessly. Beware, though, Bob sometimes has a mind of his own--there have been reported instances right here in our town where Bob has simply rolled away with baby in tow when somebody forgot to use the parking brake. Our daughter purchased an adaptor for the infant car seat and has had many good runs in the park with the 3 month old baby. She was wondering if she could just prop baby up in the stroller and do away with the carseat, but a newsletter (not connected in any way to baby strollers) cautioned about jogging with babies younger than 6 mos because evidently, their heads aren't strong enough to be jostled.

This jogger is a dream. It's light, easy to set-up, easy to fold, folds compactly, manuevers like a dream, sun canopy actuals serves its purpose. I cannot say enough great things about this product- I tell everyone to get it- I have the double too- and love it just as much.

This is a fantastic stroller for our life in suburban Minneapolis. We take it on trails, docks, streets and the Rev can handle them all with ease. It's rugged, lightweight for this type of stroller, easy to use/fold, and effortless to push. It's so effortless, in fact, that using the safety strap is a must - this stroller could really get away from you! It's also easy to steer one-handed. It is very sturdy and high quality. It's very easy to convert the front-tire from swivel to locked, although we rarely lock it. All of the accessories are also high-quality and easy to use (the cup-holder is a must). Only possible downside is that with the seat reclined it's a bit tough to get to the basket, but that's minor. The basket itself is a good size. We have the Citrus Green which is very fresh and distinctive - our friends can see us coming! Perfect for outdoor walks on any terrain!

We bought this stroller because I wanted a stroller that could handle the hilly and broken sidewalks in our neighborhood, and allow us to go on hiking trails. The Combi stroller we had was just not good for tough road conditions. After some research and reading reviews on joggingstrollers.com I decided to get the BOB Revolution. I am really glad with this purchase. (This is the best baby product we have bought!) It's super easy to handle and my 21 month old is very comfortable in it. The only complain I have about this stroller is that one of the shock absorbers started to squeak a couple of months ago. I haven't fixed it yet (thinking of using some WD40 on it), but for the price we paid for this stroller, I was expecting it to be more squeak-free. But all in all I don't regret this purchase at all!

This has been the best stroller I've ever had. And believe me I have had a few. Between joggers and regular strollers this is absolutely the best stroller purchase ever. I am a light jogger and run through my neighborhood mostly so going around corners and up & down curbs is hardly noticeable. Which wasn't the case with my previous strollers. So by all means make this purchase your next.

Great stroller. Rolls very smoothly.

The BOB Revolution is an excellent jogging stroller and overall stroller. It is easy to maneuver, reasonably lightweight, and very comfortable. My son falls asleep in it quite often!

We had worn-out two other strollers before we ordered the bob ....Our son is over 55 lbs and when we go shopping and he doesn't want to walk anymore we can move him effortlessly through a mall or amusement park...We recently went to las vegas and walked the strip with ease....The BOB is very Agile....Well worth the money.....It also is very easy to break down to fit a small car trunk....My wife and I run and the BOB handles well in that arena also....It also looks great as well....

Pros: The swivel front wheel makes for easy manuevering (I haven't used it for jogging yet), handles bumps smoothly, the straps adjust quick and easy especially with a squirmy 8-mo old, unfolds in a snap.

Cons: When folded I wish it would lock together. I always have difficulty loading and unloading it from my SUV. It's pricey but worth the $$.

This stroller was recommended to us by a fellow jogger and we bought it on his advice alone. And, we are so glad we did. Our 25 lbs one year old loves it and her dad can really job with her in it. It moves smoothly, has lots of room, fits into the car easily and has a great canopy. I use it for daily walks in the neighborhood. I have only good things to say about this stroller.

We love this stroller - it has been awesome. It rides smoothly, folds easily, has a great sunshade, and is not too heavy. My only complaint (hence the 4 stars instead of 5) is that my 19mo was already too tall for the shoulder straps and the plastic buckle part ended up behind his back which to me doesn't seem so comfortable, but if you have a snuggly seat insert it would be fine. I would highly recommend this stroller.

We bought the Bob Revolution because it seemed to be a good combination of a jogger style, but portable by way of collapsing. We love it. It works great with the Britax Companion Car Seat. It's smooth and easy to steer, and very easy to fold. It also has a large canopy with great coverage. Our daughter just started facing forward and she loves it! It can be a bit awkward to get in and out of the trunk as I'm small, but it's not hard to do so. The down sides are not a lot of storage, and it can be a bit large for shopping in tight stores. I keep looking for a smaller umbrella type stroller but haven't found anything better. If it has storage, it's too big, and the small ones have even less storage. We are very happy with the Bob and several of our neighbors have bought them since seeing ours. We all love them!

WE TRIED SO MANY JOGGING STROLLERS, AND THE REVOLUTION WON! THIS IS A WONDERFUL STROLLER, LITE WEIGHT, BUT NOT FLIMSY. YOU CAN GO ANYWHERE WITH THIS STROLLER AND KNOW THAT IT WILL LAST. BEST MONEY SPENT ON A STROLLER! I GIVE IT FIVE STARS. (ONLY DOWNSIDE, WE NEEDED TO PUT IN A SNUZZLER FOR OUR DAUGHTER. OUR DAUGHTER IS NOW 14 MONTHS OLD AND WE STILL USE IT OR SHE TENDS TO LEAN TO ONE SIDE.)

Absolutely love my Bob - so glad I got the swivel wheel for around the neighborhood. Love, Love, Love it.

I thought the transaction with JoggingStroller.com was outstanding, too. Got the stroller in about 2-3 days and easy to assemble. Pleasurable exprience.

One thing - wish there was a "red" color in the revolution. Got the dark blue and happy with it but would have liked to get red.

My wife and I like the stroller for jogging slowly 2-3 miles on the paved trails at the park. Our baby rides comfortably and happy in the carseat with the car-seat-adapter that we bought extra. We plan to buy the sun-wind-bug shield as an extra also. The stroller pushes very easily and is great handling on the paved trails or in stores with the front wheel pivoting. However, on the dirt/stone back trails, the stroller rides too bumpy for the baby while she is only 9 weeks old and 11 pounds or so. We tried locking the front wheel while jogging, but it is jerky on the baby and is inconvenient for the jogger to have to re-position the aim of the stroller around gentle turns verses allowing the front wheel to pivot freely where the stroller tracks along like a dream. In case you would like to keep the front wheel locked, the stroller pulled lightly to one side with the front wheel locked when we first used it, but was very easy to adjust and steered very straight afterward. We are very happy with the construction quality of the stroller and the looks. We wish that the extra's like a padded seat and rain protector and driver's console were included, and that the lower storage sling were easier to access, but we bought the stroller knowing these in advance. It is smooth and absolutely silent; no squeaks or rattles. My wife and I agree that this stroller IS worth the money.

OK, just got Mesa Orange. Gorgeous luscious deep orange shade. Navy is beautiful too. We bought this for our 2 year old who is tall & thin. (OK, it's mine masked as a Fathers Day present) I'm 5'5" & DH is 6' 2" - we both like this! Super smooth, turns on a dime, more than just fine for light running with fixed wheel. I know my limitations & I knew I didn't run enough to warrant a full-on running stroller. I love how it folds: easy & quite compact for me, thank you very much. Sure if I wanted to pop those wheels off, it'd be super flat. I LOVE giant canopy & storage pockets. I know our son is safe & comfy in this top quality stroller. This will last us a long time. I wish rain cover & warm fuzzy weren't so pricey. LOVE the diaper bag but trying not to go there as I already own a huge collection...but it's tempting!
