BOB saved my son's life. Really.
By
bens mom "Bensmom"
I was out the other day and my son was asleep in his BOB. I
have loved my BOB since I bought it but now I have even more reason to!
I was loading my son in the car. I had it pulled
up alongside my car and was turned slightly putting my purse down so I could
lift him out and put him into his carseat. I heard a weird noise and looked
behind me.. the car next to mine was backing out and was crushing my stroller
between my car and hers. My son was asleep in it. I started screaming and she
stopped. I motioned for her to pull forward.
She felt terrible when she realized what had happened. She did not see me or my son when she looked she said. (My son I felt was in a safe spot out of the way of traffic btw, I am very safety concious.)
She had a Chevy cavalier. The bumper on her car crumpled/formed AROUND the steel frame on the BOB. The steel frame on the BOB saved my sons life. If he had been in a cheaper, less sturdy stroller he might have been crushed.
BTW my stroller is fine and my son slept through the whole thing. I am so thankful for the sturdy construction of this stroller. I realize this is a freak accident, but again, THANK YOU BOB! And God of course : )
It happened SO FAST!
Also:
I love the way it takes up less room in my trunk than our old Chicco stroller. I love the large shade on it that allows my son to sleep for hours in it while I shop. I love the recline, it's fabulous! I've had it for well over a year now with my 2.5 year old and wish I had known about it when I was originally buying a stroller.. would have totally done this instead of the Chicco stroller to accompany my Chicco Keyfit 30 carseat!
I purchased the BOB Warm Fuzzy and love it year round. It's cozy. And I bought the cupholder and love it as well. Purchased the weather bubble too- like it but a little complicated to put on in the pouring rain when getting out of the car- I get drenched : )
I also purchased the "travel bag"- the suitcase specifically for this stroller and we flew our BOB to Las Vegas with us on vacation. I just checked the stroller in that bag as a piece of luggage- it was GREAT. It protected the stroller so well. I was able to put all our diapers and other baby/kid? supplies in around the stroller.
I love the black color, the easy steering that pushes like a DREAM, the easy brake, the easy fold/unfold, the shocks, the easy wash fabric, the durable everything on it; I love running with it or just taking it to the mall.
I've had to air up the tires once in a year. It has held up amazingly to some abuse!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for jogging and off road use, but not my choice for everyday use,
By
My
grandchild is one year old and I bought this stroller for jogging and hiking on
dirt trails in our local parks. It does a superb job for each. However this is
not a stroller that I would buy for everyday use, especially if you live in the
suburbs rather than a big city, where people walk most places and don't need to
constantly take a stroller in and out of a car trunk. Let me describe the
stroller, which I bought at my local REI store since it came fully assembled
and because they have a lifetime return policy in case I run into any problems.
1. The construction is first rate, the fabric used is high quality, and it takes literally seconds to open and close, which is very simple. Just pull a red handle to lift the stroller into the open position. To close, just push two levers on the top forward and the stroller collapses (I disagree with the leading negative review that this is at all difficult). There is a wrist strap on the handle to be used when jogging that can be buckled to keep the stroller closed when it is folded. I NEVER use the wrist strap while jogging. I know that its purpose is to prevent the stroller from getting away from you if you lose your grip, but I think it is dangerous to use. If I tripped while jogging and had the wrist strap on, not only could I break my wrist from the force of the stroller with a child in it, but the odds are that I would flip the stroller too. If I felt myself going down I would rather just hold onto the handlebar and try to slow the stroller down. Just my opinion.
2. The stroller has two modes--walk (the front wheel swivels) and jog (the front wheel is locked into position and stays straight). There is a simple red knob on the front wheel that allows you to easily switch between the two positions, and it literally takes just two seconds to switch.
Note: If you are ONLY going to jog, and don't mind having the front wheel permanently locked, then you can buy a less expensive BOB stroller known as the Sport Utility model, on which the front wheel does not swivel at all. Yes you can turn the stroller with a locked front wheel--but you have to lift the front of the stroller to do so. I did not want to be so limited, especially hiking on trails, which is why I bought the Revoution SE instead.
3. This rides very smooth for jogging, and handles off road surface well when walking. The reason is that this is a very heavy stroller (24 pounds--I weighed it on my luggage scale, which makes it heavier than any of the other strollers that my grandchild has, which I discuss below) and has very large wheels--again larger than on her other strollers. Unlike other strollers, these wheels are inflatable just like bicycle tires. They need to be kept at 30psi for best performance. Of course jogging with a seriously under inflated wheel could be dangerous; ordinary walking would just be more difficult. You don't have to check tire pressure all the time, but ask yourself if you want to bother having to check it at all if you are considering this as an everyday stroller. You might not want to have to deal with an unexpected flat tire just when you need to use the stroller.
This takes up a lot of space in a trunk, and is heavy to put in and take out. Yes, each of the wheels has a quick release lever (just like bicycle wheels), so you can take them all off to save trunk space. This might make sense on a long trip, but I can tell you from experience that this is not something you would want to do on a regular basis, especially with a cranky young child or in inclement weather. Plus, using quick release wheels takes some getting used to. As the directions point out, if the "quick release lever does not leave a visible imprint in the palm of your hand" after you put the wheel back on, then you have not done it right.
4. I do agree with the leading negative review that there is no soft padding on the seat, though I disagree that the crotch strap is too short (it is adjustable) or that buckling your child in is any more difficult than on any other stroller. When the canopy is fully extended, there is a "window" on top that lets you see your child. There is also ample storage underneath. You can adjust the seat to a reclining position using two straps, though for jogging you need to keep it fully upright (the further back it is, the less stability you have).
However I would not use this as an everyday stroller. My grandchild (who lives in Manhattan) started out with the Bubaboo Cameleon stroller for local neighborhood walking (which I have reviewed on Amazon), and then at about nine months also started using the Maclaren Quest Sport stroller (which I have reviewed on Amazon) for traveling in cabs and subways, as well as day trips out of the city (like visiting me and my wife) since it is more light weight, easier to fold and close, and easier to carry with a carrying strap. And at my house she sometimes used the Graco Infant Car Seat stroller frame (which I have reviewed on Amazon).
I mention these different strollers because all of these provide more comfortable seating, and are lighter and more compact (except maybe the heavier and bulkier Bugaboo) than the Revolution SE, which for me is a special purpose stroller for jogging and off road use. Yes, it can be used as an everyday stroller, but its strength lies not in lots of comfortable padding or a light weight compact size when folded, but rather in great stability while jogging or walking off road.
For walking only the recommended age range is 8 weeks-8months; for jogging/off-road use it is 8 months-5 years. The stroller can accommodate a child up to 70 pounds.
5. This stroller comes with a very clear and well illustrated manual that explains everything. Among the advanced features is a simple form of wheel alignment in case the stroller does not roll in a straight line (which could occur after off road use, the same as when a car goes over lots of bumps), and a shock absorber setting.
Bottom line: This is a special use stroller that works great for jogging and off road use. For everyday use I would get something else whether you live in the city or the suburbs.
UpdateFebruary
23, 2012 : This past weekend I went jogging with my 13 month old
granddaughter in Manhattan Central Park ), I easily just pulled back on the handlebars to
lift the front wheel up and move it into the new position. Very easy to do and
no big deal.
UpdateJune
10, 2012 : The instruction manual contains the following warning in
bold letters: " Never jog with the stroller in walk mode. Doing so could
result in loss of control and serious injury." Nevertheless my daughter
and son-in-law went running with my granddaughter in Central Park in Manhattan

3.0 out of 5 stars Great for the trail, but some features
could be improved., February 7, 2013
By
Romana Hudes
I
try to buy items that come highly recommended. I don't mind spending money on
something that is needed to make life easier, if the product is of good
quality. People love their Bob strollers, so I was excited to order this one
and get back to hiking and walking on a trail near my house.
The wheels are perfect for the trail and give the baby a smooth ride. The stroller has actually allowed us to go places that we couldn't otherwise go, since my little girl is getting heavier and mor difficult to carry and can sometimes refuse to walk herself.
Some things that I wish we're better: 1) the basket is pretty small, so if you are going on a day hike or long walk, your diaper bag won't fit. Once you have water for you, the baby and the dog in there along with a couple of sweatshirts, your basket is full.
2) my daughter likes to be pretty upright if it isn't nap time. Even in the highest position, she is too reclined. She starts to complain after about a mile. I wish there was a recline mechanism like on the Uppababy Vista. This stroller has straps and buckles (like you would find on a backpack to increase and decrease the size of it) to recline. I may have to rig it somehow, which I don't really want to do.
3) and finally, my daughter is 18 months old and is just about too tall for the stroller. When the sun shade/canopy is closed, it is either in her face or rubbing her head. My daughter is quite tall for her age (in the 99th percentile), but according to the description, this stroller can be used up to age 4. My daughter will probably be too tall for it by the time she is two.
If these 3 (specifically #2 and #3)major issues were resolved, the stroller would be worth the money. If I only get 6 months of use out of it, because my daughter is tall for her age, I would be bummed.
As usual, great and speedy delivery from Amazon!

There is also an accessory that gives you the
facility to attach the BOB Infant Car Seat Adapter (sold separately) so you can
use the stroller with popular infant car seats.
Make
sure you purchase the correct adapter.
