Reviews for BOB Stroller Strides stroller

I love this stroller, it's the most awsome stroller that I've ever needed. It's good for jogging and lock it's front wheel for running or even for everyday use. It's easy function and light weight. The best thing is it's very comfortable for my son and he loves it. It's definitely worth it's money! Love it!

This stroller does it all. It's a smooth jogger, it functions great as a regular stroller when the front wheel is unlocked, and the carseat adapter is great if your child is still in an infant seat. Although, it does weigh a little more than some strollers and is not as compact, I've had no problems with it and I'm 5'3". I can easily lift it into the back of my SUV. Also, we recently took it to the Bahamas on a small plane and it is so easy to pop the back wheels off for a more compact fit. Even my husband loves it. I think sometimes only for the fact that it has suspension and he thinks it's cool that we can make it over rough terrain that most strollers can't. :)

I bought the BOB Revolution "Stroller Stride" for my granddaughter. The construction and smooth manuverability makes it one of the best strollers out there. Perfect for active lifestyles. The only complaint/suggestion I have is replace the tire inner-tubes with heavy duty, thorn resistant tubes if you live in the dessert Southwest. My daughter-in-law had two flat tires relating to catus thorns during the first week of use.

It took me about 2 months to decide if I wanted to spend this much money. But now that I have it I would do it all over again, except I would only purchase this stroller! I can push this in a circle only using ONE finger. I started looking at jogging strollers and so many of the reviews for other strollers were from parents that walk. I needed something that could hold up to my runs! The BOB Stroller Strides stroller does that and so much more. Plus it takes up less room in my trunk than my other stroller did! I cant say enough about it. I have fallen even more in love with running now that I have this. My son and I really enjoy our runs because the sun isnt in his eyes and I get such a smooth ride. Thanks for taking the time to make such a quality stoller for parents that are on the go!

It took me about 2 months to decide on the BOB Stroller Strides stroller. I've done plenty of research & compared all my options. I wanted to get the maximum use for this product considering the amount of money invested. In retrospect, I should have selected this as my initial travel system - oh well, live & learn! There are so many things that I like about this stroller. The sun canopy is awesome, it gives great sun protection. The ride is super smooth. Perfect for all types of activities. The only issue I have is w/ the child tray. The tray is screwed to the stroller so there's no easy way to remove it unless I was to unscrew it. Other than that, I highly recommend it.

This stroller is awesome. It is smooth and easy to push. My only complaint would be that the seats do not sit up all the way, so your child will always be at an incline. I have the duallie and with 2 kids weighing in at 24 and 40+ pounds I can still push it with ease!

I bought my stroller after selling my other jogging stroller. My other jogger the front wheel did not swivel and its only purpose was for jogging. This one can be used as an everyday stroller as well as a jogging stroller. It rolls nice and turns in tight places. I haven't got the opportunity to use it as a jogger yet due to it getting dark to early but if it does as well as it did in the mall during Christmas, I'm sure it will be great!!!

This is the greatest stroller ever! It glides. I have to give it hardly any momentum and it moves on its own! It turns on a dime! The shade covers my daughter and I no longer have to worry about the sun in her face no matter her position! Also, I ordered this and received it in 1 DAY!!! WOW!! Awesome customer service and if I had to do it all over again, I'd buy the same stroller through the same people! I can't emphasize how great it is. I researched for days before I finally picked it. GREAT stroller!

This is my 2nd jogger stroller and it's fantastic! So smooth and compact, even fit in the trunk of a PT Cruiser. I love that it's almost flat when you recline it, my daughter looks so comfortable when she's sleeping in it. I also do stroller strides and it really is the best stroller for the part. I highly recommend it!

This is the 2nd jogging stroller I bought. It definitely is - what you pay is what you get! I first thought I could get a cheaper jogger (Baby Trend Expedition LX) and it was horrible! The front wheel shook so violently my son was scared! I returned it and did some research and fell in love with the BOB stroller. It's really great for jogging and even everyday use. The basket underneath is a bit hard to reach compared to my Peg Perego, but it's livable. My only small gripe is that when you fold it up, there isn't a latch to hold everything together, but I can live with that. My son loves it and the pockets in the sides are great for little snacks/drinks for him! I find it very easy to manuveur with one hand and the oversized canopy is wonderful! I would definitely recomment this to anyone who was interested in a swivel wheel jogger. And I must say that their design is 300x better than Baby Trend's. Their swivel wheel has no resistance and is so smooth! You can tell it's a well thought out design.

I have the 2005 version of this stroller. I bought after joining Stroller Strides. I LOVE IT! It glides in comparison to other strollers. My daughter is very comfy. I do wish the seat reclined a bit more though. I use it as my daily stroller. The storage basket fits our coats in the winter. And the handlebar console fits all my other junk and a drink. It's great for jogging, you can easily manuever it with only one hand and even run on the side of it. The shade covers very well. I've been very happy with this stroller.

Comments from The Staff:

Hey there! Check out the 2007 BOB Stroller Strides. For 2007, BOB increased the recline on their strollers. All 07 strollers recline 70 degrees from verticle.

Great Stroller, looks good, can go just about anywhere, folds very well. Not worth paying more for the "spoked" wheel option particularly if you plan on taking it off road on trails, etc. Only gripe is the stroller has a tendency to "lean" either right or left and the adjustments to counter this are difficult and don't always work well.

Comments from The Staff:

This is strange. It's pretty rare to hear someone say it 'leans', and I think you mean pulls left or right. There are some steps you can take, as it almost always has to do with the front wheel. Be sure to take it off, and put it back on again, or even try flipping it around. And the fine tuning is pretty dialed in with a engineer's mind behind it. If you are still having issue, don't hesitate to give us or BOB a call.

Great, quality merchandise. I love that the front wheel unlocks for walking (swivels). I love that the seat reclines. And the sun visor is one of the biggest around. It also has a great cup holder attachment up front.

My husband and I were lucky enough to receive tons of hand me downs with our first child. But when it came to strollers I knew exactly what I wanted and I wasn't going to settle for just any stroller. I was in search of a stroller that could adapt to an infant carrier. I wanted (and needed) a stroller that could handle city and suburb sidewalks in all kinds of conditions. I needed a stroller that was going to plow through any kind of weather and not get bound up by snow clumps. I was head strong in my desire to find a stroller that was easy to fold and store and didn't weigh a ton. And while a stroller with a suspension system sounded like an unnecessary luxury at the time of purchase it came in so handy when our newborn fussy son needed to be bounced as he slept in his stroller.

I love my Bob stroller. I get compliments on it daily and I can't help but recommend it to everyone who asks about it. Personally, it was a big expense to spend almost $400 on a stroller, but in the end it was worth every penny.

I did a lot of research prior to purchasing this stroller. I found these reviews helpful in my decision. I have used this stroller just about everyday for the past four months. We walk daily 2-3 miles daily outside and needed a stroller that would standup to this type of use. It pays to do your research. I did find this stroller for a lower price and joggingstrollers.com no only matched, but beat the competitor price substantially. The stroller was shipped FedEx and received the day after my order was placed. The packaging was excellent and arrived in perfect condition. The first thing I notice when I unpacked the stroller was the quality which was better than expected. Assembly was minimum, easy and had great step-by-step instructions with photos. Be sure to check the air pressure in the tires, mine arrived with just a couple of pounds. Well, I'll start with the tirez. If you walk on pavement, rubber tires are a must which are much quieter than plastic. With the swivel front wheel the stroller turns on a dime. The stroller is easy to push and turn with one hand. The brake lever is easy to operate with your foot. The folding system requires two steps which prevents accidental folding while junior is onboard. We equipped the stroller with the optional child seat adapter. It works great and holds a Gracco Snugride infant seat perfectly. It is held securely with a quick release strap. The only downside to the adapter is the stroller does not fold as compactly when installed. The wheels are quick release and a nice feature if you plan to transport the stroller in a car. We have a Volkswagon Passat. With the child seat adapter it will not fit in the trunk, but will fit in the front seat with the rear wheels removed. We use the stroller primarily for walks in the neighorhood, but it has been taken to the mall and grocery store without problems. The fabric is a nice color red and appears to be waterproof. We got caught out in the rain and junior remained dry. The water repelled well and dried quickly. In closing, I am very please with this purchase and worth the higher cost. The stroller has a great design and exceptional quality. I would not hesitate to recommend it. Great stroller for the guys!

I love, love, love this stroller! I wish we hadn't bought a full size one as well, (we have a full size Graco) . This does everything we need it to. Easy to fold and store and also easy to navigate. The stroller has definitely helped to lose the baby weight. :-)

Got this stroller based on recommendations from friends/other users. I love it! I haven't used it for jogging yet but I can say that it is so much easier to navigate bumpy, uneven city streets when we go on long walks. It's sturdy, provides a smooth ride for baby, has a great canopy that provides lots of shade, and has several convenient compartments for storing small items like sunscreen, water, blankets, etc. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of five is that I would like to see it in other colors besides red (the logo is a bit loud as well); it can be hard to get things in and out of the bottom basket once baby is sitting in the stroller, and if it were a bit more compact--I'd give it five stars. Overall, the positives FAR outweigh the negative.

The choice of a BOB over any other brand was an easy decision. The choice of fixed wheel verses revolution was one which no one discussed. With the revolution in the fixed wheel position it offers the same performance as the traditional jogging models. You do not notice that the front wheel is slightly smaller and the parking brake is much more appealing on the revolution. However, with the front wheel in revolution mode the stroller is more maneuveralble than any other stroller. Some unexpected suprises from owning such a unique stroller are the number of people that engage in conversation with us as well as people remembering us upon returning to a location. The stroller doubles as a fantastic grocery caddie. It also maneuvers perfectly when an additional small child sits above the front wheel to tag along. We have also purchased a small umbrella stroller for use around airports and small bistros, but preffer using our BOB revolution on a day to day basis. Thank you very much BOB Trailers!

This is our second Bob Stroller. The first was a fixed front wheel jogger, now several years old but still used. My wife liked the ride the fixed wheel Bob provided to our son but wanted something more manueverable for our second. We looked at many models but came back to the Bob due to excellent experience with our first. There's many great features, like the quick and easy brake, flip it on or off with your toe; the simple fold-up design is great, wheels lock on with a cam action like a bicycle wheel, which is super easy; the sun shade/rain cover provides great coverage; and the storage behind the seat and compartment below allow you to carry a lot. I was confused by Bob's marketing of the Fitness stroller and the Revolution, they seem to be very similar, except the Stride Fitness offers the Strdes membership, fitness exercise bands, but most important is the storage tray with zippered pocket and cup holder. The warning label on the zippered pocket is bum as it catchs in the zipper's path. I was able to find the Stride and Revolution for equal price, so we went with the Strides Fitness Stroller. The design of the front (gooseneck between front wheel and seat) allows our three year old someplace to sit down when he gets tired of walking too. The larger tires, as compared to a traditional stroller, provides a better ride and it allow for better "off-road"/sidewalk manuevering. I have not tried to jog with this one like our fix wheel stroller and question how the king pin on the steering wheel would hold up if used for extensive jogging but occassional use would probably be ok. This is a classic example of you get what you pay for, its more expensive but worth it.

The BOB Stroller Strides stroller is great. I have had people stop me and ask about it, I let them take it for a try on the spot. A great investment.

Fantastic stroller-I did lots of research and am thrilled with the BOB. It's light, easy to open and close, and the adaptor for an infant car seat works well. Only complaint is the bottom storage area-it is difficult to get things in and out.

This is my second child and fifth stroller. I wish I had bought this one the first time out. The others have been gathering dust since we got this. It is the smoothest, easiest to push stroller ever. The swivelling front wheel really helps with maneuverability in stores. The only thing that needs improvement is the folding process. It is still big and cumbersome when folded, even for a station wagon trunk, and hard to keep folded -- there is no mechanism to keep it folded, so unless you pick it up just right every time, you will get your fingers pinched and it is likely to come open as you take it out of the trunk. Once up, though, it is a great stroller, fast, light to push and still solid enough to bump down stairs or take a deep pothole in stride. I got the stroller strides version because it was red and I wanted a bright color (most Bobs then were dark colors), but I am not sure that I would get the Stroller Strides version again. The rainbow colored logo is a bit tacky and the stroller strides "exercise equipment" -- some rubber cables -- that came with it is still in the plastic bag months later. More recent models in orange and green will get you the cool colors without the tacky logo.

We live in a city that gets both heat and snow. The sidewalks are bumpy. The stores are small. And we do some heavy duty walking around so we had a pretty tall order to fill in a stroller. This is really a great stroller. It handles the bumps and the dirt really well. I love that you can lock the wheel or let it swivel. It's small enough to get through our tiny super market lines and big enough that it will work for years to come. I'm sure that this stroller will remain our favorite when the ice and snow come. And looking at other people's rusty wheels, I keep thinking that the Bob's plastic (?) wheels were a good choice. Plus, I live on the second floor and it's light enough that I'm able to carry it up our spiral staircase folded! It's really easy to fold, though I wish there were some sort of locking mechanism. There's plenty of room for stuff under the seat and my baby seems very comfy. This stroller seems to push itself. The only time I use our other (umbrella) stroller is when I'm taking the subway or bus.

I have a Stroller Strides BOB Stroller and I absolutely love it! The caddie compartment that comes with it is great and perfect for water bottles or lattes. It is made of fabric, rather than a hard plastic, so it absorbs any shocks. I always spilled any drinks I had with my old jogging stroller....

I cannot say enough about this stroller or about the staff at joggingstroller.com. I originally had a BOB Ironman, which is also a great stroller, but I realized that I was not actually running as much as I thought I would. So, when my Ironman was stolen, I decided to rethink my stroller purchase. I wanted a stroller with a swivel wheel so that I could use it around town, but also lock it out for jogging. I also walk a lot of gravelly paths by the water and live in the city. I loved the quality of our previous BOB, so I knew I wanted something comprable and I also loved all the storage compartments, especially the little pockets for toys in the seat area. I already had two other strollers that I wasn't crazy about and I really wanted one stroller that could do it all: jogging, hiking, walking. Well, this stoller delivers. Despite being heavier than the Ironman, it just glides; you barely have to push it. My husband and I actually argue over who is going to push. The suspension is awesome and combined with the large air filled tires, it handles rough terrain so easily. I still think that if you are a marathoner the Ironman is the way to go, but if you want a stroller that can do everything including jogging a few times a week, I don't think this stroller can be beat. And I just love the red color; not to mention how easily it folds up. I had actually ordered this stroller from another site, but after a week the stroller still hadn't even shipped yet (although the website said same day shipping guaranteed). When I called they told me it was backordered for another several weeks (and when were they going to tell me that?). I called Joggingstroller.com. They had it in stock and even matched the other companies sale price. I had the stroller in two days. The staff was also great at helping me figure out if this was the right stroller for me. It was a great expereince that makes me love the stroller even more.

I am so glad I bought this stroller! I have always loved the BOB brand and this stroller came with exercise ideas and free Stroller Strides classes!
