Customer Reviews


Great alternative to Umbrellas!

I got this after hearing about it from a relative... I am so glad I did! This is a great stroller. Lightweight, sturdy, easy to use but the best part is that it has handles that you can use without stooping. I am not a tall person but with most umbrella strollers (which I used because of their compact size) you have to stoop slightly when pushing. Skip the cheap ones go for Volo!

My daughter looks so cozy in this, I want to climb in!

We received this as a shower gift, and it has become my 'give to every new mom' gift as it was one of our favorite items for our new daughter. It fit our car seat (Chicco) just fine without getting in the way of the straps. It is so fast to just put your baby in the seat, zip up, and go. Even though it is 'lite', it has a thin fleece lining that actually keeps baby quite warm. I do pull aside the cover when my daughter is in the car on warmer spring days to keep her from overheating. It is great for early morning daycare drop off when there is always a chill in the air! I plan on picking up the JJ Cole Big Bundle Me Original - Pink when my daughter gets older- they are great products!


Fantastic!

This is perfect for fall and spring! We have the fuzzy one for winter too....I LOVE THIS!

THIS IS A MUST HAVE!!!!!


Seatbelt lays fine!

I'm not sure what the other reviewer was talking about - we used this for my daughter all fall, winter and spring, and her seatbelt laid just fine - there was no difference at all. It velcros around the seatbelts, so I'm not sure what the nurses were talking about.

Other than that, this thing is wonderful! My daughter was a summer baby, so we usually just used receiving blankets. But we got this in the fall and were able to use it all winter and into the spring. It kept her warm enough, even on the cold days. I would probably suggest getting the heavier version for newborns in the winter, but this worked great for our older baby in the winter. There's no need to worry about blankets or extra layers of clothes or snowsuits. The Bundle Me Lite stays attached to the carseat, all you need to do is zip it up, and you're ready to go! It detaches very easily (because it's just velcro) and can be washed. It actually acted as a protective barrier for the carseat for those "accidents." We still washed the carseat for these situations, but it greatly minimized damage!

This is a fabulous "extra" for the carseat, we'll definitely be using it again with the next baby!

Customer Reviews


terrific

Every aspect of this is terrific for us. It was very easy to assemble. It's easy to run w/. I love the look and the room underneath.


Great... just one complaint (it's kind of a biggie)

This jogger is great for many reasons. It has excellent storage, including several different compartments. It holds up to 100lbs, and it's roomy enough for my almost five year old (she's only 35 pounds)to fit in it just fine. It is also extremely comfortable for my 6 month old son.

My one complaint is that the front wheel doesn't swivel. I didn't realize that when I bought it. If you jog in an area where you are turning corners, it's kind of a pain because you have to pivot it around on the back wheels.

So, if ease of movement around a city block is important to you, don't get this stroller! I have to say though, for $140 (on sale), it's a pretty good buy!

Customer Reviews


Great buy

Great value for money stroller which served it's purpose well. We wanted a stroller for travelling and to take on the plane. This stroller was very light weight, easy to fold and the two recline positions were put to good use when my daughter was sleeping.


great stroller for the price

I got this stroller because my 70 yr old mother in law who comes over to my house to watch our 5 month old daughter, wasn't able to maneuver the big travel system stroller we have. This stroller has been a total relief for her and my daughter loves it!! The only downside to it (as I am sure is with a lot of smaller umbrella type strollers) the shade canopy doesn't provide a lot of shade protection from the sun, so we have to be very careful to keep out of the sun. Also, this stroller is not meant for very tall people, such as my husband who is 6'2", as he has to lean over and often finds himself kicking the wheels. It is just perfect for my mother in law and myself who are 5ft and 5'1" though. Overall, this is a very sturdy stroller at a reasonable price!


In love with this stroller!

After much struggling with finding a travel stroller for my well built 2 year old I finally found it. I had bought the britax stroller and it was wayyyyy to small for him, and very very heavy(and I feel Im pretty strong). Then I went to a department store and bought a 20 dollar stroller which had a reclining seat and a average size basket, again my boy didnt fit. I read the reviews of older children fitting in this one and since it had a slight recline, I thought this had to be it! As soon as I got it I took it out of the box to my surprise it was already assembled! And my child fits great in it. The only down side is that the basket could be a little bit bigger. Luckily my diaper bag has belt clips on the sides to snap on the handles. Overall a light , heavy duty stroller that does its job very well. Note: My main stroller use is taking it to the park and going to the mall.

Easy to maneuvre, wife loves it

This is great for streets and trails. We have not yet taken it to a mall, but it should work great there too. It is highly maneuverable and should get through the aisles with no problem. The back recline is adjustable so even an infant can be made to sit properly.


Love it!!!

I love this jogger, it's lightweight and easy to maneuver. It folds down neatly and my baby loves it! I wish he could sit more upright in it, I have found the tray obstructs his view since he can't sit straight up, but there isn't much space to put items in the tray anyway, and we are ok without it, so I removed it. We clip small toys to the frame (so he can't throw them out the side) and that does just fine. I like the larger canopy, though I wish the bottom storage compartment were a little bit larger. But we use it to work out and go to the park, and not for really long day trips, so it fits our needs perfectly. Well worth the money! I get a lot of compliments on this stroller too, you don't need to spend $400 for a BOB!

Customer Reviews


love my BOB duallie

Did a lot of research before purchasing this double stroller. I now have three daughters (5, 3 and 3 mos)and wanted something great for outside walks but also to use in malls. This stroller fits through our house doorways and makes moving around the mall a breeze. When walking around our neighborhood, one of my older girls will walk and I can hold her hand and steer the stoller easily with one hand. Just got this stroller a month ago and have not had any problems. Looking forward to cruising around parks, malls, neighborhood with ease.


110% worth the money

I hesitated spending the money for this stroller. After reading all of the reviews I decided it must be worth it. I was right! The stroller came 95% assembled---all I had to do was put the wheels on which took no time at all! I took my two year old and 3 month old daughters on a walk immediately. I knew it was a good stroller when they were both fast asleep within 15 minutes. The stoller pushes with ease and absorbes shocks great. The seats recline much further than any stroller I've ever seen so your little ones can take a nap without 'chicken neck'. The shades are independent so if one is taking a nap and one is awake, they can have the shades at different levels. The shades block out the sun greatly---even my 3 month old daughter could recline and not get the late afternoon sun in her eyes. I can't tell you how happy I am with this stroller. I wish I would have bought it a month ago! It is sooooo worth the money.


Great double stroller...however...

I LOVE this stroller-it's just what everyone else says it is, but I am not happy with a few things:

1) It's HEAVY

2) There is no "clip" mechanism to hold it in a folded position-I would NEVER attempt to travel with it (I know, it's a jogger-but this one claims to be a "city" jogger

3) It's EXPENSIVE-I am scared to take it anywhere like Disneyland or Sea World because it would get stolen

Other than that-it's great. You feel like you're pushing nothing-you can push and steer with one hand. The separate strap-on cup holder attachment is a must. Overall, the best jogger I could find.

Customer Reviews


Response to safety concerns...

...some have said that this unsafe, BUT these have met crash test safety standards (it even says that right on the packaging). Also, I see this one thin layer under the baby MUCH SAFER than a huge puffy jacket all around the baby (both under & over = 2 puffy layers included in straps)

We have this and the original. The urban doesn't breathe as well as the original due to its wind/rain resistance, however that wind/rain resistance is a life saver in spring & fall rainstorms (where the Original soaks rain in)!


Started with the Original Bundle Me-Like this better

I started with the Original Bundle Me because I was using a friend's but she was also pregnant and needed hers back so I purchased this one and I like the JJ Cole Urban Bundle Me better. Here is why: the faux sherling on the original, was prone to pilling of the fabric and caught lint, hair and other debris. The original was heavier and a bit bulkier. I like the fabric of the Urban Bundle Me better. It's lighter weight and the exterior material wipes clean easier. Overall the product is great and does what it says, which is keep your baby warm. Having tried both the original and this Urban version, I like this better.


AWESOME

I CAME ACCROSS THIS STEALTH DIDNT EVEN KNOW A PRODUCT LIKE THIS WAS OUT THERE. I'M A FIRST TIME PARENT AND HATE HOW PEOPLE LOOK WHEN THEY HAVE ALL KINDS OF BLANKETS HANGING OVER THEIR BABY IN THE CAR SEAT OR STROLLER. I BOUGHT THIS ITEM I'VE USED IT WITH MY CAR SEAT AND IT WORKS GREAT. I LIVE IN THE DESERT AND THE WEATHER IS CRAZY AT TIMES. SOMETIMES ITS REALLY HOT AND THEN IN A COUPLE OF HOURS THE WIND KICKS UP AND IT GETS COLD. YOU JUST NEVER KNOW ESPECIALLY DURING THE SEASON CHANGE LIKE RIGHT NOW. IT'S GREAT BECAUSE I CAN UNZIP THE TOP LAYER IF IT'S WARM AND COVER MY BABY IF THE WIND KICKS IN. AND I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT CARRYING BLANKETS JUST IN CASE. IT'S NOT ONLY WIND RESISTANT ITS WATER RESISTANT AS WELL. EVERYBODY WHO SEE'S IT LOVES IT. IT'S A GREAT PRODUCT. AND I HAVE HIGH EXPECTATIONS. IT'S WORTH THE MONEY.

Customer Reviews


Overall it works for us

This was the exact type of stroller that I was looking for, and here is why... My son will be 3 years old next month, weighs 35 pounds, and is 39" tall. He is a big boy for his age, and on top of hauling him around, I was strolling him around in this big "cadillac" graco travel system stroller that we've had since he was born. I wanted something more compact, lightweight, I wanted to downsize, and I wanted something more age appropriate for a toddler (something that was easy for him to get in and out of when he wanted to walk).

I wanted a stroller that had a drink holder by the handles for myself, and also one for my son like the graco, but we settled with this one which only has a cup holder for my son. Everything about this stroller for the most part is great, however I will state my dislikes: the cargo area at the bottom is fairly small, but it's big enough for an essential extra diaper bag. One thing I really have a problem with is that this stroller does not have a lot of leg room for toddlers...being that my son is 39" and around 35 pounds his legs are long, and if he falls asleep, sometimes his feet fall off of the leg rest and drag on the wheels. There is also not a lot of knee room when you bend his legs to put on the leg rest. I can't see my son getting to 55 pounds and being comfortable in this stroller though. This is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.

What I love about this stroller overall: it does what it says it does, it is lightweight, it does fold to a very compact size, and it rides smoothly, and is easy to push and maneuver with one hand. I also like the small diaper bag that comes with the stroller...nice to have extra storage for essentials.


Works great for us

I'm really impressed with this stroller, especially after having a very heavy Graco (as part of the travel system). I was in the market for a lightweight, functional stroller and I believe I have it! I do agree, the basket underneath is pretty much worthless - what's up with the bar right in the middle of it? Can't get much in or out. And I would liked to have had a cupholder for me, but again, overall I'm pleased. It's extremely lightweight, folds easily, steers well and the handle-bars are a good height for me (and I'm 5'11).

Looking foward to taking this one to Disney!

WOW! We have had this one for a little while now and we absolutely love it! The handles are just right for me (5'2") and mu husband who is slightly taller. It maneuvers well and handles our rocky driveway with ease. I am not sure about the staining as our daughter hasn't eaten in there yet but the milk she has dropped wiped off easily enough. So far...I like!


Great stroller for the $$!!

We purchased this stroller for an upcoming trip and flight. We took advantage of the super saver shipping and received it the next day!! The stroller is so easy to push and maneuver and it is very lightweight! You can practically steer it with one hand while pulling your luggage behind. Our 15 month old is big (27pounds & 32inches) and he fits really well with room to grow. The five point harness gave me peace of mind, and the buckle being covered helped keep little hands from trying to unbuckle himself. The carry bag is very handy but not necessary if you use the strap hooked to the stroller itself. The only thing that I would change is the color-- it is lighter than I had imagined, but still very pretty-- I am just concerned about keeping it clean! The sun shade is great and big will work great in Arizona! The recline option is handy and easy to use even if the baby is in the stroller and you're trying not to wake him up!! Was a little concerned with height since I am 5'3" and my husband is 6'3", but it is very comfortable for me, husband has to lean a little-but had to lean over with big deluxe stroller also. Very happy with purchase and I would definately buy this stroller again!


Great Stroller!!

This is a great stroller. I have a small daycare and decided to buy three strollers, and buy some stroller connectors to connect them all together so that the three little ones I watch can all face forward and see what's going on. I bought 3 of the Chicco CG, one in this green, one in blue, and one in the orange. The colors are great and the kids love them. The five-point harness is excellent, as is the fact that they recline. These strollers turn on a dime. Even when I have all three connected together, just locking the inner sets of wheels so they don't turn, only having the outer wheels to turn the unit, I can turn the stroller with no problem, even with only one hand. These are great strollers, that I would and have recommended to many people!!

I liked this beautiful pattern stroller!

I bought this stroller for my second baby. I got it within a week. It was very easy to assemble. I did it by myself without assistant. I loved the pattern of this stroller and it was very stronger than the previous Graco model I had. It was very comfort to move around and one hand fold down. The lower storage is big and can store a lot of things. I loved it. Overall, I am very satisfied with this stroller.


Beautiful stroller, but a little big

I purchased this stroller a few weeks ago and have had a few opportunities to try it out. First, it does have some assembly required. It was not hard to figure out though and I put it together without needing any assistance. The stroller is beautiful and I love the new Marlowe pattern. I purchased this pattern hoping that it would work well for either a boy or girl. It is a very sophisticated pattern and is definitely gender neutral. Last week we took the stroller to the mall and had some time to get use to it. It rides extremely smooth. The only problem that I had with it was that the outer wheels in the front stick out quite a bit further than the actual stroller. I had trouble fitting it down most aisles. It would be perfect if the wheels were just an inch or two closer together. But that is my only complaint. I loved all of the storage compartments and the clock/thermometer. It is very easy to use(although it is pretty heavy and a little hard to pick up to put back in the vehicle) and London was very comfortable and loved riding in it. Overall I am very satisfied with this stroller.

Not for tall kids

I bought this not doing all my research and when we got it, my 2 going on 3yr old's head was passing the top of the seat. I did find out that all InStep strollers can fit kids 38in and below comfortably. I didn't have a chance to give a test run. It seemed nice other than my boy is too tall (and I don't think he's that tall anyway)for it. So it has been sent back.


Well worth the price!

I bought this stroller back in December 2007 and the price has gone up considerably. It arrived w/the wrong size front wheel, so I called the manufacturer and they sent me the correct size. I have two boys, 2 and 4, so only need a double for a year or so until we go over the wt. limit. For the price I think this one will be perfect. It's not fancy, but was fairly simple to put together and seems quite durable and easy to manuever.


happy so far

This is a great stroller for the money. The only problem with this stroller is that there is no padding for removing and washing in the seats. I used cushions from another jogging stroller. Also, the storage basket hangs low and drags on the ground if you put something in it. It is removable with buttons, so I just moved it a bit higher on the stroller and now it works great!! For the money spent, my kids love it and it fits through most doorways. I love the behindseat storage and the parent console. Good buy for parents wanting to use for fairs, carnivals, jogging or walks to the park.

Great product but sun-shade should be re-designed.

Love this item!

we liked the first one so much we got a second as a back up for whenever the other is in the wash. perfect for temperature changes when taking baby to overly air-conditioned restaurants on hot days.


not for keyfit30

It does not fit the keyfit30 car seat and i was surprised at how loose it was on the product. the picture makes it look like the material is taut. it may work for some ppl, but i returned mine.


She lives in this!

Our baby girl practically lives in this. You can leave it open when it is hot, or pull and zip it up when it is cold. It is so soft inside. She loves it.

1st time jogger owner, 2 thumbs up

Asides from getting a great price on this jogger, I bought it because of all the features. It is lightweight aluminum which is important for me since I am marathon training, not resistance training. It is also equipped with a weather shield and cupholder standard which I though were excellent features. One consideration I was skeptical on was straight v.s. unlockable front wheel.

Now that I have used the jogger for a few weeks....

I am happy with the quality, my baby girl (9 months today) is happy with the comfort and loves going out with me and my wife for running / roller blading. The stroller handles bumps well and generally handles well. I am happy with the speed and ease of use. I have not run further than 10 miles with it yet, but only because my training has not yet called for it. The cupholder is useful on the long runs were hydration is important. The tray is helpful for keys and snacks for the baby. The undercarriage storage is a little weak, but then again I don't plan on using this for jogger for going to the mall so it is not a negative for me (although it may be for someone else). The fold up mechanism works well. I don't have space contraints due to large vehicle but the 20" rear wheels would eatup alot of trunk space. The stationary front wheel is great for control during runs, and since I am not using it for errands I have no need for the front wheel to turn on a dime.

All in all a great value and a good quality item. Would recommend to any of my friends in the market for a jogger.


Great Solution

This stroller is everything I had hoped it would be. I live on gravel roads and also use the stroller over rough areas in my yard and it works wonderfully. The baby is comfortable and the stroller rolls almost without effort.

A lot bigger than you would think!

Very large but great for jogging and fast walking .Does not yield ,you will have to lift it up to be able to turn left or right '

THIS ONE RIDES STRAIGHT ONLY!


Great jogging stroller for the price

Bought this jogging stroller after borrowing an old Babyjogger from a friend. I did a good deal of shopping around and even talked to a service rep. from another company about some of their options. This stroller was priced right and had most of the featutres I wanted (no clock, but few jogging strollers have them).

PROS: As a bonus, it has a rain shield is permanently zipped into the sunshade so it is fast to deploy and you don't have to spend extra to buy one. It was easy to assemble even for my non-direction-reading husband. The wheels are smooth running and the adjustable height handle is great. I had a brief problem with it pulling right but adjusting it was super easy (even on the road without my manual). The big wheels and shocks make sidewalk bumps a breeze -- SO much better than a conventional stroller. It is a bit difficult to steer at low speeds (walking) but all you really have to do is push down on the handle to lift the front wheel and it turns easily. It's not made for the mall, so don't expect it to be suited for that application! I didnt' want a swivel wheel, because they can sometimes jam on bumps. The 2 break options are great as is the leash. I can let go of the stroller when jogging and have no problem reeling it back in. The rear wheel break system is very easy to use and quite firm. Much better than the front only break on my friend's jogger and better than the break on my full sized Graco as well. When it's on it's on and you can't push the stroller at all. Finally, I think that when it's all folded up it may be almost exactly the same size as my full sized stroller making it just as easy (or not easy) to take on trips. My 14 month old likes the padded seat -- she rests her head on the side comfortably while we walk or jog. I like the zip pocket in the back for wallet and cell phone. The parent tray is a nice bonus as well that is not available on all strollers. I like the mesh back. I think it will allow more air through in the hot and humid days of summer.

CONS: I do agree with others that the basket underneath is hangs too low and am trying to think of a way to rig it so it might carry heavier stuff. The design problem is that it is hung on a wire loop that is only secured at the front of the stroller and has no support by the back wheels. I have not had any problems with it, but am concerned that if I put a few water bottles in it it pr something heavy it would bottom out on bumps. The hip belt seems snug even on my 14 month old -- I'll look into adjusting that better but I'm not sure it does. The sun shade tends to not look as crisp on mine as it does in the picture. Maybe it will settle in over time. I have run with this a few times and it is quite comfortable.

Summary: This is a great jogging stroller for the money. It has almost replaced our full-sized Graco stroller for walks around the neighborhood, the park, and camping. Well worth the money if you are trying to get back in shape or want a smoother ride for baby.


Hope Jogging Stroller

This stroller is a great buy. I am 5'2" so it may not be great for someone that is really tall but the handle does adjust for different heights. It is a great stroller for running.

Shopping for a Stroller,

My kids are having their first baby and needed a stoller. They had told me what they kind of wanted, Being that I run a home business and can't go shopping I turned to the computor and went on line. I was amazed at the choices and all different kinds, but when I came across Graco travel systems I was impressed. Not only with the price but my daughter-in-law is a nurse and the talk at the hospital is Graco's are best with saftey and structure. Since I live 30 miles from a store having it shipped for free was hands down the winner! I love shopping Amazon.com and have been impressed with their service and speedy delivery. And oh yes! my kids are very excited and have shown it off and can't believe they got such a nice one. Thanks

The boatlady


Second time mom

We wanted to a buy a nice and easy use travel system. We liked this one. It came almost completely assembled. My husband was able to complete the assembly with no problems and in no time. I have found it very easy to use so far. The only problem is, it is little bulky and heavy. But we still like it. It is easy to manuever around and looks sturdy. We are enjoying it so far. Would recommend it strongly.

happy traveler

We purchased this for traveling to disney world and think the lightweight compact style will come in handy. It is roomy and comfortable for my 2 and a half year old. I would have liked a better basket though.


great!

It's light, very easy to maneuver and to fold. It was a lifesaver on trips to Europe and New York.

Great Light Stroller!

We got the stroller for an upcoming vacation. I've used it a few times already and love how light it is! The weather guard works so well even in windy conditions (try taking a stroll in the Windy City with a 13 month old!) Folding it up for the first couple of times was a little confusing, but once you get the hang of it, it's a snap. The pocket in the back works great to hold keys, cell phone and even a sippy cup and crackers. My daughther likes the front bar to hold on to. I'm glad we went with the this stroller instead of the average umbrella stroller.

great stroller

This is the second one of these we have bought in the last year. It is a great stroller and we travelled with it all around Europe, but then lost it somewhere between the park and the mall. I didn't even think of buying a different one, when we lost it. It is sturdy, compact, and very easy to travel with. Also, you can't beat the price.


Excellent for vacation

We recently went on a 7 day cruise with our 8 month old baby girl and we loved using this umbrella stroller! We strolled her all around the ship and she seemed very comfortable. It was extremely easy to fold and very light weight. I will definately be using this stroller a lot more in the future.

Great stroller! Model Number makes a difference with canopy!!

We love this stroller because it has the right combination of features that we wanted in one stroller, which was hard to find. I definitely wanted an adjustable seat that can go from completely upright to fully recline a with a metal adjuster, not just some pull string. The second most important feature for us was being able to fold the stroller without it collapsing to the ground. Also wanted a good sized basket and canopy. Regarding the folding/unfolding of the stroller, we don't feel that it is necessarily intuitive at first, but once you get the hang of it, it works fine.

REGARDING THE FULL SIZED CANOPY AND MODEL NUMBER: The full-sized canopy, which is probably one of the biggest selling features of the EuroTrek does NOT come with ALL EuroTrek Travel Systems! This was stated by a previous amazon reviewer who has purchased a EuroTrek in Pinebrook and I contacted Evenflo via email to verify this before we made our purchase. They responded promptly and told me that all Eurotrek Travel Systems that have a model number starting with 539 have the full coverage canopy. These patterns are the Leopard, Desert Palm, McAllister, and Hudson Bay. EuroTrek travel systems currently available that have a model number starting with 580 will not have the full coverage canopy. There patters are the Pinebrook and also Hudson Bay. So be sure to pay attention to the first three numbers of the model number, especially if you want the Hudson Bay print which can have either!

BOB Revolution Stroller in Mesa Orange


BOB Revolution Stroller in Mesa Orange

BOB Revolution Stroller in Mesa Orange

From BOB Jogger Stroller | BOB Revolution Stroller

The new BOB Revolution does just that, revolutionizes the BOB Sport Utility Stroller by providing a rotating 12 inch front wheel that casters for improved maneuverability and handling, or can be locked out for safer running or off-road use. This stroller features suspension, quick and compact folding, and roomy seat and storage space. Also features rear wheel brakes for easy locking and reliability. Dimensions: WHEEL BASE: [Swivel Mode 25.8] / [Jogging Mode 30.5] OVERALL LENGTH: [Swivel Mode 45.8] / [Jogging Mode 50.2 HANDLEBAR HEIGHT: 41 WIDTH: 23 INTERIOR SEAT WIDTH: 15 FOLDED LENGTH, WHEELS ON: [Swivel Mode 38] / [Jogging Mode 42.2] FOLDED HEIGHT, WHEELS ON: Swivel Mode 16 FOLDED LENGTH, WHEELS OFF: [Swivel Mode 32.3] / [Jogging Mode 35.3 FOLDED HEIGHT, WHEELS OFF: [Swivel Mode 11.2] / [Jogging Mode 9.6] BOB Strollers offers a wide variety of Jogging Strollers - Single Joggers


Features:


  • Suspension system capable of 3 inches of travel, provides for an exceptionally smooth the ride,23.6lbs

  • Tough welded frame. 12" front wheel swivels for increased maneuverability and locks forward for jogging.

  • Swivel front wheel is a ball bearing headset, proven technology that ensures durability, reliability, and solid performance. Eliminates "shopping-cart shimmy."

  • Fast two-step folding for compact storage and easy travel.Hand activated front wheel brake acts as a slowing mechanism.Rear wheel foot activated parking brake locks both wheels.

  • Adjustable 5 point harness; complies with ASTM safety standards, padded for comfort, sewn into the seat fabric and connected to the frame for added safety

The BOB Revolution is the most versatile BOB stroller on the market. What is truly "revolutionary" about the stroller is the pivoting front wheel that swivels for nimble and agile movement. The Revolution turns on a dime, but the innovation does not stop there. The front wheel can lock into a fixed position for jogging or off-road use.

The strong, welded frame is made of aircraft-grade aluminum alloy that is lightweight and durable—weighing 23.6 pounds. The padded, stain-resistant seat is soft and cushy, reclines up to 70 degrees from vertical, and has the standard five-point harness to provide maximum stability and comfort. The full sun canopy provides ample shade and protection from the elements for your little passenger. The canopy window allows you to keep an eye on baby as well. The suspension system sports three-inch coil springs with an elastomer core and two settings for bigger and smaller children, and it has 16-inch semi-slick, all-purpose rear tires and a 12.5-inch front tire. The wheel rims are constructed of high-impact composite polymer, and the hubs feature a quick release axle and cartridge bearings. The caliper handbrake slows the stroller with ease, while the foot-activated "parking brake" is simple and handy. Storage is not a problem with twin interior seat pockets, a large below-seat storage basket, and a deep seatback pocket. The two-step fold can be done in one motion, and the lightweight frame makes it portable and stowable. Removing the wheels decreases the height and length when storing in tight spaces. The handlebar height is 41 inches, and the wheel base is 25.4 inches in swivel mode or 30.9 inches in jogging mode.

The stroller is able to go almost anywhere, and the ride and styling can only be described as luxurious. The smartest feature by far is the ability to switch from a pivoting to a locked front wheel that allows the BOB Revolution stroller to be one of the most versatile and maneuverable strollers available. BOB recommends that children be at least eight weeks old before riding in the stroller and at least eight months old before jogging or off-road use. The Sport Utility stroller has a weight capacity of 70 pounds. --Scott Teal

Great stroller

Our child enjoys the suspension and the large sun canopy. We like how easy it is to push and maneuver around obstacles. We added the BOB Handlebar Console With Water Bottle Holders Black which is a must have. We previously had a Bugaboo Cameleon which was terrible to get in and out of the car and felt tippy when the kid leaned forward (in it's most upright position). This BOB is rock solid and folds simply. You will love this stroller!


We LOVE LOVE LOVE Our BOB!

We love the BOB. We take it everywhere. It is a little big, but it is a jogging stroller (though I consider it more of a all-terrain stroller.) We drive a little honda civic and it fits perfectly in our trunk. And if we need to fit more with it the wheels pop off and on VERY easily. We live downtown Savannah and the sidewalks are very uneven and rocky. The BOB is perfect. You can literally push and turn this stroller with one finger. I will never buy another stroller. The BOB got higher ratings than even the strollers that cost $300 more. The BOB is worth every penny. We endorse it whole-heartedly.


great wheels...cheap seat

The BOB is so smooth to push while jogging or on long walks...however my daughter (1 year) is always slouched and uncomfortable in it because the backing of the seat is slightly bowed out. It seems to be nothing more than cardboard and fabric. She is much more comfortable in our Maclaren. Also, it is big and heavy I would not recommend it for taking in and out of a car. Excellent wheels and canopy....why did they make the seat so cheap?

About Graco

In 1942, Russell Gray and Robert Cone formed Graco Metal Products, in Philadelphia, PA. For 11 years, the firm fabricated machine and car parts for local manufacturers. In 1953, Gray left the firm, leaving Cone as sole owner. Cone decided to manufacture his own line of products, but had trouble coming up with ideas. Enter David Saint, an engineer, tinkerer, and stained glass artisan who worked for Graco. Saint, himself a father of nine, was intrigued when an associate told him how his wife would soothe their tired and cranky baby while swinging in a backyard glider swing. Acting on this inspiration, he went to the drawing board and 18 months of hard work later, the world's first wind-up infant swing, the Graco Swyngomatic, was born. Graco sold millions of Swyngomatics in the coming years, becoming one of the world's leading manufacturers of juvenile products in the process. Today, Graco is a Newell Rubbermaid company, with 1500 associates worldwide. While a half-century has brought many changes to Graco, their dedication and commitment to designing and manufacturing top-quality products remains, and continues on.

4 years later, still works great

We got a Graco stroller/infant car seat/base system 4 years ago. And we have used it for 2 kids. We still use the stroller, my kids now are too big for the infant carrier....but its in perfect shape. And very convenient to have an infant carrier snap into the stroller. The stroller has been on 12 plane flights and still works perfectly well. Its bulkier than an umbrella stroller but your child will sleep comfortably in it. Also the basket underneath is the best thing you can have on a stroller...because there is alot to carry with kids. GREAT PRODUCT, LASTING QUALITY. A definite BUY IT.


Great!

I found this to be a great product, the only thing that I had a hard time with was the clip to hold the wheels, but haven't had a problem with anything else.

I love having the versatility of the car seat because I have the swing that the car seat attaches to, which saves me space, and it's extremely convenient to take my baby from the car to the stroller where I don't have to un-strap him from the car seat and re-strap him into the stroller.

The car seat was extremely easy for me to install, but my husband had a hard time. Also the car seat itself is a little on the heavy side.

Overall, I'm extremely pleased with this product.
