When I first used this stroller, it shocked me with how smooth and easy it was to run with. With my previous jogging stroller, I had to constantly make course corrections and really push it. With this, I could run normally and just use one hand to keep it going, even with a 2-year old inside. It is very well constructed and durable (we really use and abuse our strollers). It's got lots of pockets and storage for both baby and mom. We absolutely love 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!
