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.

Customer Reviews

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.

Very nice and warm!

Great alternative to a blanket! Fits our stroller and my baby's car seat. I got it when he was a few months old and I know it will last him for a few more years. Very easy to use and it keeps him warm and cozy. The only small downside to this product is that it gets a lot of lent on the cover, but nothing that a brush cant fix :)


This is Awesome!!

This is an awesome product. I love the Toddler size Bundle me. I have recieved so many comments on it from everyone. It keeps my 17 month old son so warm and cozy and he sleeps so soundly and comfy when it is zipped up. Even in the warm weather, it supplies him with cool comfort. I use it with the Maclaren Techno XLR easy fold up stroller and it works great. Its a bit bulky when folding, but I just make sure the Bundle me is zipped up and straight before folding. I am totally happy with the purchase and I am finding it a good size fit for him for quite awhile. And the zippers are working great. I read comments about the size being too small and this is not true. They must have been mistaken. The toddler size is perfect for a toddler up to three I would guess. You will enjoy this if you order it to protect your infant when he is in his stroller.


Perfect!

This is the perfect item to keep my toddler warm while on our walks in the winter/fall. I love how she's tucked in and cant squirm like with her blankets. I think its a great thickness, however, I live in Southern California, so not sure this would be the only thing you need if you lived anywhere that actually got cold. :)

Would highly recommend!

Customer Reviews


Lightweight, good looking, easy to fold, small when folded

This product is really good. Another reviewer complained that there is a lot of plastic. This is true, but in my opinion this does not make it look like a cheap product. I think it helps to keep it lightweight.

The folding/unfolding is very easy. Try looking on youtube or peg-perego's website for some videos and you can see how easy it is. There are even videos that help you to assemble it (since the manual can be vague in some points). But it's pretty obvious and easy to assemble too.

I can't tell if it is comfortable to ride, because I'm too big for it, and my daughter hasn't been born yet. But it looks comfortable.

Me and my wife really wanted the cream one (paloma), but we were afraid that it would stain easily. However, I had a nice surprise opening the box, since it turned out that the midnight blue is actually very nice too.

And of course, the main feature that lead us to buy this one is the small size when folded. Of course, it is not as small as a regular umbrella stroller, but is definitely much smaller than most strollers (meaning, you don't need to buy an SUV or an extra trunk).


Nice looking, good performance, but a lot of plastic for the money.

This is a very nice stroller, and the looks are great.

PROS: The fabric is much higher quality than what you would find on a cheaper stroller and the padding is much nicer.

Once you learn how to open and close it is very easy to do. It was pretty easy to put together, I did mine 9 months pregnant in less than 20 mins.

The sun shade is amazing. If the seat is upright, the shade covers almost the whole child.

The basket can accomodate a large diaper bag or a bag of groceries.

The wheels are very easy to use, it turns very well.

The ride is very cozy for children.

The recline is easy to do and it reclines fully.

The child tray is great and very easy to use.


CONS: an awful lot of this stroller is made of plastic.

The folded size is huge compared with umbrella strollers, but it will still fit in a normal trunk, it will just take up most of it, but is a lot smaller than other travel system strollers.

The adult cup holder is odd, I removed mine to avoid breaking it when folding it.

The first few times I opened and closed the stroller, it took two adults to do it because even with the directions we found it confusing.

The stroller is a bit big for aisles in stores and is sized a bit more for the suburbs than the city.

The harness attachment is odd.

When used with the car seat, it can be difficult to know when it is secure as both the stroller and the carseat make the same click noise.

The BOB Revolution Duallie is the most versatile BOB two-seated 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 33.2 pounds. The padded, stain-resistant seats are soft and cushy, recline up to 70 degrees from vertical, and have the standard five-point harness to provide maximum stability and comfort. The full, independent sun canopies provide ample shade and protection from the elements for your little passengers. The canopy windows allow you to keep a watchful eye 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 28.2 inches in swivel mode or 34.1 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 100 pounds and 50 pounds per seat. --Scott Teal

Best double stroller

I am not one to write reviews on products but I just can't say enough good things about this stroller. I have recommended this stroller to family and friends and all have purchased it and have not been let down! I love how the sun shades actually shade the child and they are separate. This is a big plus! The shocks make the ride smooth for my children. (2 1/2 and 1 year old I have had this since my second child was born) The recline is nice for sleeping babies! The parking brake is easy to use. The only thing that I would suggest to BOB for improvement would be to make the handle bar adjust to different heights. It fits through a standard door and is incredibly easy to maneuver. I had a really hard time spending this amount of money on a stroller but it was well worth it and this stroller should last through a lot of kids! Thanks BOB I will always recommend this stroller to everyone who asks. I get a TON of comments about how nice it looks. I don't ever fight with my children to get them in this stroller.


Worth the Money

Solid Product - have twins.

- Only one that fits thru doorways (IMPORTANT ITEM)

- Kids comfortable and like it.

- Wife walks and goes Jogging with it.

- Has shocks for comfortable ride.

ONE FLAW - It does not have locking mechanism when folded up. This is needed when loading and unloading in vehicle. Comes with a velcro runaway strap that can be used to latch. Annoying enough to complain about,not enough to buy something else.

Fantastic multi purpose stroller

I received this as a gift when I was expecting my 2nd child. I started using it on walks immediately. What a difference using this stroller over my Peg Perego Pliko 3. The stroller just glides like you are on ice. I used it for about 3 months with one toddler in it and I never had any issues with it being off balance. Now that I have an infant and a toddler in it, I still have no issues with balance. I was very nervous taking this stroller to the mall, but it fit through doorways fine. I recently started jogging with it and I now love it even more. I do have three small complaints. First, for such an expensive stroller, you shouldn't have to buy the console with the drink holder. Second, the storage basket underneath is difficult to access. You really cant put shopping bags there. Third, there isnt anywhere you can hook bags on to. I am going to purchase some carabiner clips to use as hooks on the carriage.

Cant wait to try this out at the beach this summer!

Customer Reviews


Great for Older Toddlers and Big Kids

We started looking at strollers for our 3.5 year old because he outgrew his infant stroller. He is a tall and sturdy guy and the weight rating on this stroller was appealing at 55lbs maximum. The seat is also one of the widest I've seen so there's lots of room in that regard as well. What is also appealing is that older toddlers and children can remain in a stroller with a five point harness for a longer period of time with this choice. Very nice for busy and crowded places while toting around an active child. Heavy duty framing and yet lightweight. Canopy is a bit flimsy. The seat does not recline and I would urge Maclaren to add that feature to this model. The storage bin is a bit small but a good size for an older kid with a smaller diaper bag or for Mom's purse. Easy to clean on all surfaces. Handles are set higher than most so it's nice for men or taller women although perfectly fine for an average height person to push as well. There is a carrying strap on the back which is great. You can literally fold it up and go. Overall for the price (we bought ours at Target) it's a great buy.


Great Umbreall Stroller

We love the Maclaren Volo. It is very lightweight. Folds/unfolds very easily. If you want a stroller to run errands this is a great one.

A 20% smaller fold makes it easier to lift and fit in your car, and uniquely designed handles makes it simple to maneuver.

A large drop down basket lets you easily grab your gear while the rear seat is reclined. It even has one of Mom's favorite Quattro Tour features ? the one-hand gravity fold. Just push the button, and it effortlessly folds itself down to the ground. When your neighbors say they don?t know how you do it, just smile and squeeze your Quattro Tour Duo.

Life is busy and complicated enough when you have two small children: but with the Graco Quattro Tour Duo Double Stroller (Ionic) at least getting around is made a whole lot easier. This easy-to-use stroller is built to carry two children in comfortable style--and it includes plenty of great accessories and features to make mom and dad happy, too.


A Stroller Built for Two

This versatile stroller has two seats that can be configured for use with a toddler and an infant, or even with twins. The front, forward-facing seat, designed for toddlers up to 50 pounds, gives your child a front-seat view of the action; and it can be adapted to hold a Graco SafeSeat or Graco SnugRide car seat as well for smaller infants. Dual snack/beverage holders keep food and drink close at hand, and a storage cubby beneath the seat offers room for your little one to stash his treasures. The seat has a three-point harness; a canopy keeps the sun and rain away, and a multi-position reclining back makes for a morecomfortable ride.

The back seat is elevated to give your child a clear view and is designed to accept all Graco SafeSeat and Graco SnugRide Infant Car Seats. Snap your baby's car seat into the stroller for easy, parent-facing transportation until your little one can sit up by herself; use the stroller without the car seat--with your child facing forward--from the time she can sit up (around 6 months of age) until she is up to 40 pounds in weight--so even when your child outgrows the infant car seat, you'll still be using the stroller for a while to come. This back seat includes a three-point harness, a snack tray with two snack/beverage holders and an adjustable, flat-laying reclining seat for easy napping, as well as an adjustable canopy with a peek-a-boo window.


Convenient, Easy Operation for Parents

Double strollers can be bulky, making them difficult to push and to load into your car. But the Graco Quattro Tour Duo folds 20-percent smaller than other Graco double strollers to make storage and transport more convenient. Its lightweight construction and unique, ergonomic handles make the stroller easier and safer to maneuver, as do the lockable swivel front wheels with suspension.

In addition, easy-to-use, one-touch foot brakes add to the stroller's ease-of-use. And when you're done with your walk, simply push a button to activate the one-handed gravity fold to easily collapse the stroller. The stroller includes a drop-down basket that offers easy access to your gear, even when the back seat is fully reclined; and the parent storage tray includes two convenient cup holders.





Stroller around two children without the bulk of most double strollers.

Graco Stroller

After a lot of shopping around, my husband and I decided to go with the Graco Duo Glider. We are very pleased with the product for a few reasons. My husband and I are both very tall people and this stroller is nice and tall... and not as long as the other double strollers we have seen. When we got the stroller in the mail, my husband figured it would be a hassle to put together, but it was really easy! Even with a toddler trying to "help" Daddy. The last reason I really like it is that our graco baby car seat fits right in. Sure, the stroller is heavy, but it is a double stroller! They are all heavy. This stroller glides nicely and easy to move around corners. My husband and I are very excited about this purchase and would recommend it to anyone in need of a double stroller.


Great Double Stroller

Graco knew what they were doing when designing this kid-friendly and parent-friendly stroller. For the price, I feel like we got an excellent 2nd stroller after the birth of our newborn. I can easily fit my Graco car seat in the back and 2 yr old in the front. He does sit up a little straighter than what looks comfortable to an adult, but he doesn't complain, especially since he has his drink holder and snack holder within easy reach. It handles great after getting used to how long the stroller is compared to my single-seat Graco. The weight is what I expected for double-stroller...a little heavy, but I'm 5'0 and can easily lift it in and out of my Honda CRV. It does take up most of the back of the car, but I can still pile plenty of things around it if I need to. I would recommend this to any parent needing a stroller for two kids. (Assembly was a snap!)

Customer Reviews


i use every feature on this stoller!

i am not the type of parent that buys tons of baby gear with all the bells and whistles - i knew most things would be used for less than 6 months so i contented myself with consignment shop finds. however, i was determined to find a stroller that i wanted since it was to last me 3 years or so.

i ended up with the Combi Torino and i love it!! i have a small frame and needed a lightweight stroller. the Torino is only 16 lbs but provides all the amenities of a full-sized stroller. it also has one of the biggest extendable sunshades - perfect for babies that won't wear hats. there is one a panel of clear plastic in the shade as well that lets you see baby while you push. the stroller i used for my older child didn't have one of those and i was constantly stopping to peek around and check if she was sleeping/in the sun/lost a toy/etc... i also love the harness system on this stroller. it has the full 5 point harness, but the arm straps are looser and adjustable to allow more freedom of movement without having baby's head dangling out the side. the arm straps can also be unclipped easily when baby is ready for just the crotch harness.

the other thing i looked for in a stroller was maneuverability - i like that there is just one handlebar that goes straight across as opposed to 2 curved handles. i have a dog to walk everyday and it is infinitely helpful that i can steer one-handedly while holding the leash with my other hand.

i had considered getting a cheaper model by the same brand, but decided that having a parent cup holder and adjustable handlebars was worth the extra $40. there is almost a foot difference b/w my husband and i in height so the adjustability was key. and although i haven't had to wash it yet, the seat comes off and is washable! besides that, it is well padded and is made of breathable fabric.

of course, there are cons, though very minor. i wish the wheels were made of rubber, not plastic. the brakes are easy to apply with your foot, not so easy to disengage with same foot. i have to bend down to disengage the brakes with my hand depending on what shoes i'm wearing. maybe it will loosen over time. folding the stroller is also a tad difficult (though not a deal breaker for me) b/c the front wheels have to aligned just so in order for it to fold properly. you also need two hands for folding...

in short, this is a great lightweight stroller with tons of features for the price. hope you enjoy yours as much as i do!


Wonderful Stroller..........very light

I researched stollers and car seats before committing to a purchase and am really pleased with my decision to purchase this stroller. I like the fact that it is very lightweight and not as bulky as other strollers. It folds down easily in oder to get it in & out of the car. The shuttle car seat is compatible with the stroller in order to make it a travel system. The car seat easily snaps into place on the stoller to make very lightweight and manageable travel system. I definitely recommend this product to anyone who is searching for a lightweight travel system at a reasonable price!
