bob utility stroller

1. Posted: Aug 31 2008

   I love my Bob stroller. Everyone loves Bob. Sure, I wish I could have afforded the Revolution, but after a couple of uses you get the hang of how to turn the Sport Utility version. We've taken it on the beach, in the woods, and on streets, and it's been great. I think the big nubby tires are actually better than the ones on the Revolution. Baby is super comfy in it. Opening and closing is easy, and the sunshade works great. It fits in my Accord's trunk with room to spare (though you have to wedge it in there just so).

   You actually have to do a wheely to turn it. As in lift the front wheel up and manually turn it! I gave it a 3 because it went over trails and sand no problem, is well built, and has a hand-break. But I'm getting sick of the front wheel not turning!

   Love it love it love it. We're an outdoorsy family - and I was torn between the SUS or the Revolution. The pivoting wheel is awesome on the Revolution, but we do a lot of hiking on Mt. Rainier and also alot of beach walking - and the SUS is PERFECT for us. I've already taken it out on the beach and it's really just fabulous. My 6 month old son is happy as a clam in it, my 3 year old daughter even looks forward to her own special times in it LOL. Love it. What more can I say?!? BOB - y'all need to come up with an interchangeable pivotal front wheel. I'd buy it :)

   My wife and I are both fairly serious about running, but our training has been on the back burner for the past year. Now we have the BOB stroller, we both enjoy running with our son, and he loves the ride. We live downtown in a larger urban area, and the jogger is great on bumpy sidewalks. It folds easily and fits well in the trunks of our cars. The fixed front wheel is a must, and the strength of the frame, quality of the suspension, and stability of the traction keeps our passenger safe. We also bought the equipment sling for the handlebar, and its two cup holders and zippered compartment are great for storage of keys, wallet, and cell phone. Although we also have a nice umbrella stroller, we find that the BOB is great for leisurely walks and all our traveling needs. The instructions are a bit confusing, and of course it is important to have everything assembled correctly. The instructions refer to having the vendor help, apparently assuming that the stroller is purchased at an actual store. With a little patience and time, however, everything is manageable without assistance. Otherwise, we have no negatives about this excellent stroller. We look forward to many, many miles with our BOB.

   This stroller is really light, very maneuverable and has excellent shocks. I trail run with my 5 month old son in it. Granted he can hold his head up very steadily, this stroller has an excellent ride that he hardly bounce around in it on unpaved roads and fire trails. It folds pretty easily. The canopy is big enough and extends far enough to cover my son from light drizzle. The storage basket is large and easy to get to. My only beef, it only comes in 2 colors!

   I started using my BOB Ironman this April when my son was 9 months old. We both love it. I've always been an avid runner and now my son can join me. We use our BOB about four times per week, anywhere from 2 milers to 8 milers. My son gets excited when I put him in it and kicks and sings while we're on the move. Best stroller ever!
