    The HUMMER of all strollers!!

    Rating:*****
    I wish that my daughter and I had found out about this stroller while she was pregnant!! It would have saved us money overall by not buying a regular combination carseat/stroller!! This B*O*B Revolution stroller fits every possible need!! It is a HUMMER of a stroller!! My grandson was 9mo. old when we bought it and it was a HUGE improvement over the other stroller. We bought the 2006 model in "lime green", with the bottle cosole, so it doesn't recline all the way for him. Still he was SOOOO comfortable on bumpy roads, going shopping, or he'd fall asleep at restaurants. Yes, it is bulky in restaurants, but it does fold conveniently and most establishments are glad to store it aside for us. If he's asleep, then they just accommodate us. No problem. This stroller glides easily down narrow store aisles and turns on a dime!! I'm not a jogger; I'm a power walker, so this stroller is a dream in it's smoothness and handling. My grandson (who is now two and a half) often falls asleep during my workout. My husband and I were transferred to Calgary, Canada when my grandson was 17mos. old and we took him with us so our daughter could study full time. Thank goodness we had this stroller!! We live in a condo in downtown Calgary and didn't have a car for the first couple of months. We tucked my grandson in a snowsuit and flannel blanket with the B*O*B weathershield to protect him from the gusting wind and snow and tackled uneven city streets along with snow and ice. The big, rugged wheels are GREAT ice breakers!! The basket underneath even held small grocery purchases and my grandson held the milk in his seat. This stroller is good up to 70lbs. so we'll have A LOT of growing room. I also bought the matching lime green diaper bag that clips onto the handlebars for convenience in carrying. It's great for long walking trips (two hours). I wish that I could upload pictures of this stroller tackling snow on steep hills and high, snow covered mountain trails all while my grandson enjoys the smooth ride. By the way, my daughter has a Saturn Ion and the stroller folds nicely and still leaves room for grocieries. We now have a Cadillac SRX and the stroller still leaves room for luggage and/or groceries when folded in the cargo section. We also bought the travel case for traveling between Houston and Calgary. It has been a lifesaver during trips!!! We now have to buy another B*O*B Revolution because of airlines charging for extra bag check-in. We will buy the newer model in "orange" to leave in Houston. I can't recommend this stroller enough. Yes, it's pricey, but the sturdiness, reliability, manueverability,smoothness-of-ride, and convenience of having ONE stroller do it ALL makes up for the price.

    Still Going Great After a Year Plus

    Rating:*****
    I purchased my BOB in the orange/brown combo for my 3 yr old son a little over a year ago. I am a power walker plus I needed something for the mall since he is a slow poke walker.

    First, the ride is smooth. It takes dirt, gravel and sidewalks perfectly. It is easy to maneuver and folds up relatively easy. It does take some practice. My son calls it the "big boy stroller". I also purchased the handle bar console and the matching diaper bag. Perfect accessories and the diaper bag stays attached to the stroller. I use the diaper bag as a messenger bag for my personal use and to carry toys, snacks & baby wipes for my son.

    I also traveled from LA to Orlando in December 2008 with my BOB. Taking it through security was easy and I left my BOB at the door prior to boarding the plane. No dings or damage to BOB.

    BOB was great at Walt Disney World. The ride was great for my son. He would fall asleep when he tired. When we got on rides, I could leave the diaper bag attached to the stroller or take it with me as a messenger bag. I didn't need to carry a purse.

    Overall, this is a great stroller for an older toddler. My daily walks are very comfortable for my son. My son will probably ride in BOB until his feet drag the ground!!

    This is a great investment which can be used for 4-5 years. I too wish that I had discovered this stroller when my son was first born.

    4WD Stroller...great for all terrain

    Rating:****
    We live in South America, so the terrain isn't always friendly (even in the City)! This stroller is the best because it can take on coarse gravel, sand (beaches no problem), dirt, mud...you name it. My friend has the Ironman, and the Revolution has that one beat hands down because of the pivoting front wheel. Unlock it and this stroller can go to the mall no problem, lock it and you are off and running. We just recently returned from Torres Del Paine (the far south of Chile) and this stroller held up like a champ....especially when the boat tour operator failed to mention that there was a 20 minute hike back from the Lago Gray that involved crossing over beaches, dirt trails (in the rain mind you) and some small streams!!!

    I can't believe how this responsive this stroller is too, you can control it with one hand effortlessly. Since this is our only stroller it has to go the mall too and it maneuvers around the racks like any other regular stroller. I am constantly amazed at its tight turning radius.

    We have had the stroller since my daughter was born. She is six months now, so we have been using this thing extensively in all terrains for that long. If you can only have one stroller like us, this gets you the best of all worlds in my opinion.

    I give it four stars because I was annoyed I had to buy a cup holder...come on guys, this is an expensive piece of gear.....give us a cup holder included!

    Love this stroller!

    Rating:*****
    I love this stroller! I bought it when my son was not quite a year old after I got tired of trying to walk for exercise with my Graco stroller. My son is super comfortable in it and he loves the mesh pockets on each side of the seat. The sun canopy comes down far enough to protect his upper body fully, but still allows him to see where we are going. He even naps in it sometimes. We have the warm and fuzzy for cooler weather and it keeps him warm and cozy. I bought the parent handlebar console for the stroller and it easily holds my water, keys and cellphone when we are out. This stroller handles like a dream. We stopped using our other strollers shortly after buying this one. I even take it to the mall. It is great for bumpy trails as well as just strolling around the neigborhood. I am pregnant with our second son and am planning to buy the duallie version soon. The only downside to this stroller is that it is difficult to take on a plane. We took it with us to Alaska recently and it was worth the hassle, but definately took some creativity to get it there safely.

    SUV of strollers

    Rating:****
    What a stroller. We have a Bugaboo Cameleon (for my wife) and I wanted another stroller for myself. WOW! This stroller feels so much sturdier compared to the Bugaboo. The Bugaboo might be stylish & hip, it's great for the Mall but for being out and about the BOB is it. Rolls effortlessly as if on ball bearings. With the sturdy construction and big tires it's perfect for strolling on grass.

    So much simpler to fold but can be difficult to pick up and stow if you don't use the brake strap and wrap around the handle bar. True it's a bit bulky compared to the Bugaboo. Foot activated brake lock so convienent to use. Think the seat cushion could be a tad bit more thick/padded. Good size bottom seat storage and pocket mesh on back rest not to mention 2 pockets in the side of seat. I got the console for the handle bar makes a good addition for my drinks.

    Fabric appears durable and wipes clean easily. But notice top viewing plastic window starting to get cloudy. Come winter I will opt for the fuzzy seat insert.

    Can't go wrong with this purchase.

    Short of Perfection

    Rating:****
    We had a jogging stroller and a lightweight stroller. When we were planning a trip to New York City, I knew I needed something more sturdy (with a taller handle).

    The Bob Revolution was a dream. My husband and I commented EVERY DAY of our trip what a great investment it was. We pushed it over snow, slush, ice, over city curbs, through crowds, with no problems. At one point I was holding coffee and a shopping bag and pushing with one hand. It is such a smooth ride, my son fell asleep in Rockerfeller Center!!

    Some Cons: The cupholder should definatley be included for such a high price. Folding takes some practice. (two steps) Once folded, it doesn't lock into place and is a bit cumbersome and bulky.

    I'd still take the cons with this awesome stroller. We sold both of our others and our son gets so excited when its time to go for a ride. He loves it. We love how easy it is to push, running or walking.

    Lives Up to The Hype

    Rating:*****
    The BOB Revolution is the ultimate stroller for the active parent. This is the only stroller of which I am aware which has a feature allowing you to easily switch the front wheel from a fixed to a revolving orientation. That, simply, is ingenious, and makes this stroller a great running stroller and great for trips to the beach, the park, out and about generally, etc. I doubted whether this stroller would be a real performance running stroller. It is, in fact better than my Baby Jogger Performance 16. This is the real deal. It is superb in both design and build, very solid and very high quality. I recommend it without hesitation. I could offer a niggle here and there, but I won't. There are always improvements which could be suggested, but it is a fantastic product right out of the box - there is no other stroller which rivals it. You will not be disappointed.

    It really doesn't get any better!!!!!

    Rating:*****
    I have never written a review for anything before but this product is so good it compelled me write one. If you have gotten as far as reading this, buy it now!!! This really is the best stroller!!! My friends laugh at me because I obsess over always making the perfect choice for anything having to do with my baby. They all ask me what to buy because they know I have done CRAZY research and testing. This really is the best stroller - jogging, walking or just 'like to go to the mall' Mom. I can turn and push this with one hand and though it isn't light, it is sooooo easy to fold up that I don't mind the weight. I swear it makes me want to run - and I DON'T run unless someone is chasing me!!!!

    Awesome Stroller! A must have!!

    Rating:*****
    Awesome stroller! Highly recommended stroller. Use at the mall or in the mountains. Good for jogging. Only complaint is I've had MANY flat tires. I wish they would put better tubes in the tires. A bottle of green slime seems to have done the trick. However, very pleased and would buy again. Also, I highly recommend getting the infant seat adapter, wonderful for 0-6months.

    I love! Toddler hates!!!!

    Rating:**
    I love the stroller but my toddler hates it. The seat in the most upright position is still too reclined. The seat seems too deep and there is a big gap between his lower back and the seat. It doesn't seem to be supporting his lower back. He cries after about 5 mins in it. I keep trying thinking maybe he will like it but he prefers his regular graco stroller which I can't use for jogging. So frustrating. not sure what to do. I have been trying since he was 12 months and he is now 18 months and still hates it.
