BOB Trailer Revolution Jogger Stroller

Our toddler is 19 months old. In that time, we've purchased 4 strollers trying to find one that we like. Our 2007 BOB Revolution is the best built and most comfortable.

Nice Features:

Large pneumatic wheels. Provide a very smooth ride and make it very easy to push, even over curbs, roots and fist-sized rocks. Despite another review, I found the tires very easy to inflate, once I used the right pump. Initially I tried inflating the tires with an air compressor. The standard auto-tire inflator would not make a proper seal and didn't work at all. Once I switched to my DC powered emergency tire inflator (the type you run off of your car's lighter to fill up car tires), which clamps directly to the stem, they inflated without any effort. I definitely don't see any need to take the wheels to a bike shop.

Large canopy. The built in weather/sun canopy is generous in size and includes a nice transparent section allowing you to see your little one. It expands and retracts easily with a slip cord to keep it to the desire position.

Assembly ease. Very easy. Inflate the tires and assemble using the quick release levers. There are a few important considerations that the manual explains well.

Folding ease. Very easy, very slick. Squeeze the two side handles to fold the top. Pull the release cord to fold the bottom. Takes about 6 seconds.

Overall Build Quality - excellent.

Single handlebar - The single, continuous handle bar is much easier to use than individual handles.

Rear wheel brake - very easy to apply and release to both wheels at once.

Reflective panels - numerous and generous reflective portions to make the stroller visible in low light.

WISH IT HAD:

For the price, it would be nice to include a few more accessories, especially the console. With the console included, I'd give it an A+.

THINGS TO CONSIDER: This is a big stroller. It folds nicely and with little effort, but its still far from compact. If your primary use is in shopping malls or other areas with smooth pavement, you should consider a smaller stroller, especially if you are often putting it in and out of a small trunk. We continue to use our McClarren when size or weight is important and we expect to encounter little or no rough surfaces.

The stroller is much harder to steer with the front wheel locked. Generally, if you don't expect to jog, the ability to lock the front wheel is of little value. If you expect to jog, this is a must-have feature. You definitely don't want a permanent fixed front wheel design for parks, malls, and casual strolls.

If the price is more than you can afford, there are other brands that offer many of the important features at a lower price. We received a Jeep brand three wheel stroller as a gift. I had a smooth ride and was easy to steer. However, the overall quality was not as nice and IIRC, the wheels required tools for removal and assembly. If budget allows, the best option for many is probably a combination of a BOB Revolution and a quality, light-weight, compact hammock stroller like a McClarren. That combination will give you the range of a quality builty, small & compact easy to transport hammock to a very high quality three-wheel general purpose/jogger with many features.

Another reviewer mentioned that the stroller pulls in one direction. The instruction manual clearly explains how to fix this problem and that it is generally only an issue when using the front wheel in the fixed position.

This is the BEST stroller on the planet. I am not kidding. I researched these strollers throughout my whole pregnancy and I did register for one. I later removed it from my registry because these strollers are rather pricey and I didn't want my family to spend that much on a stroller since they were basically buying everything else for the baby! My husband and I wanted to wait since we got the Chicco travel system and also the Kate Spade McClaren stroller. I finally broke down and placed a bid for a brand new one on ebay and not only did I have a fantastic transaction with a wonderful seller, I got the stroller I really wanted!!! My son is now 8 months old and more fun to go out and baout with, and I put the BOB stroller in my vehicle and take it EVERYWHERE we go! It is SO easy to fold and unfold and it is just a gorgeous yet completely functional stroller. It is worth the money. I would 100% recommend this stroller and I would 100% recommend the seller! PERFECT!

We were searching for a stroller that could do double duty as a walker and jogger. The Bob Revolution met both needs quite aptly. The stroller itself is light and folds down to an appreciable size when stowing. If you need it to take up less room, the wheels are all easily removable. As of yet we have only used the stroller with the infant car seat adapter and the built-in shocks absorb many of the bumps we encounter. We also purchased the handlebar console as it seemed like an easier place to store items while using the stroller. Yes, this stroller is expensive, but as it takes the place of two strollers (a walker and jogger) I'd say the expense is mitigated. Plus, we plan on using our stroller on multiple kids so a sturdy stroller that will last a long time is important to us.

The Bob stroller has the smoothest ride, it's so easy I can push it easily with one hand while I jog. My baby fits in it so comfortably. I have tried several joggers and this one is the best for the price. It is a bit spendy however you have the option to use it as a travel system as well which makes it quite versitile. My only complaint would be that the bottom basket is a little hard to get stuff into and out of however the benefits of the stroller far outweigh. It's also really nice looking stroller, very stylish!!

We absolutley love our Bob stroller. We use it all the time. It is great for jogging and walking. Our two year old daughter loves to sit in it and watch movies-it is that comfortable. We investigated to see which jogging stroller we should buy, and this one came out on top. This stroller has really surpassed our expectations and we feel like it was a wise buy on our part.

We bought the BOB because we heard it was worth the high price tag. My sister has a Dualie and it was so easy to push with my small daughter and larger nephew strapped in. The shocks are amazing! Our little daughter no longer fusses when we go over large sidewalk cracks or on uneven trails. It's a very smooth and enjoyable ride for her, regardless if we are just going for a leisurely walk or an hour long jog. The only complaint we have, besides the high price tag, is that the air valves for the tires are very difficult to access. We were not able to fit our standard air pump in to pump the tires. We had to take the stroller to a local bike shop, which is a big pain to deal with on a regular basis. When the tires are not pumped up evenly the stroller pulls in the direction of the lower tire so proper tire pressure is important especially when running. While talking with some of my mom friends who own various jogging strollers, I guess that this sort of problem comes standard with most of them. The stroller also takes up the entire trunk of our car when folded up in there, but it does fold and unfold very easily. Overall we are very happy with our purchase and would recommend the BOB Revolution stroller to anyone looking to purchase a jogging stroller. I am pretty confident our baby would agree!

definately recommend lightweight easy to push to kids, wish there was bigger storage but it does the trick. also wish there was a tray for kids juice but that mighyt make it too bulky. 100% satisfied with quality
