lbuffo's Full Review: BOB Trailer Revolution Jogger Stroller
I purchased the BOB Revolution jogger in Mesa Orange (Great Color) this week. I couldn't wait to use it so that evening me and my little man set out on an adventure. I live in a very busy and hilly area of San Diego so I really needed something that is easy to maneuver with all of the traffic lights and cross walks.
12 inch Front swivel wheel
Which can also be set to a fixed setting, maneuvers so easily, it's so easy to push. I have noticed that it pulls to the right if you let go while it's in motion, I'm not recommending this I was just testing the safety strap it comes with that you wrap around your wrist while in use.
Harness System
5 point harness is padded and easy-to-adjust the harness straps. This stroller is not designed to seat infants that are unable to support their heads, at least not until you buy BOB's infant carrier adaptor bar($39.00).
Jogger Weight and Size when Folded
This is a hot point with me. I researched 5-7 different strollers and found 2 that weighed under 25 lbs. The BOB Revolution only weighs 23 lbs and it's so easy to fold.
It folds in 2 different places and you don't have to take the front wheel off it get it into your trunk. I have a sedan and I can easily fit it into the trunk and still have room for the groceries.
Comfort and convenience
Fully padded seat back reclines for comfortable naps on the go. It has two internal seat pockets to carry toys, snacks and sippy cups. The multi-position shade is great and it truly protects baby from the sun. I purchased the handlebar console ($19.99) for my drinks and it has a large zippered pocket that fits my keys, cell phone and wallet. I also, decided to purchase the matching diaper bag ($65.00)with clips that attach directly to the strollers handlebars. The Low Boy basket is large enough to put bags in while shopping.
Safety and Performance
The inflatable off road rear tires/wheels are 16 in. polymer that have a quick-release, the suspension system uses adjustable, two-position shock absorbers (3'' of travel) to provide comfort, safety and performance. The rear wheel brake system ensures stroller stays put until you're ready to roll again. Then as mentioned before it has a safety wrist strap that should be used at all times.
Update on July 25, 2006
I emailed BOB about my diaper bag, when I went to clip it to the handlebars a piece of plastic broke off. I contacted them because I thought they'd be able to help me replace it and they told me to contact the store I purchased it at, directly with the customer. Also, all of their parts are made in China or Taiwan, I thought they would be supporting American made products. I'm a little disappointed in BOB.
