BOB Revolution SE Stroller - Orange

Comments about BOB Trailers BOB Revolution SE Stroller - Orange:

My hubby and I went to Babies R Us to test drive this stroller (expecting #5 in Sept.) during it's $100 off promo fully prepared to buy it. We ended up with the Graco jogger and I'll tell you why:
1. When placed in the seat, Our 25 month old's head was caught in the fabric of the hood even with the hood fully upright. Not comfy! He is average height. This is something first time parents may not think of. You will still use your stroller when your child is two, especially for long days at the Zoo or Disney or ? Before buying, grab a toddler and see if you are happy with how they fit in the seat. Hood would require tools and patience in order to be removed.
2. I'm 5'4 and was happy with the Bob's handle height. Hubby is 6'2 and much prefered the higher Graco handle. I actually prefer it too now, when jogging, i hold my arms higher.
3. The manual adjust seat back sounds great "you can adjust to whatever recline you want" in practice, manual adjusting stinks because it's a hassle when your baby falls asleep in the middle of a jog. We owned a manual adjust Valco double stroller...trust me on this.
4. No cup holder! Yeah, you can buy an add on, but most likely it will drive you nuts when you have to constantly tighten the screw that holds it onto the stroller. This is because you have to spin the add on out of the way everytime you fold it to put the stroller in your trunk.
5. The basket is difficult to get stuff in and out of. Granted, this makes for a more cmpact fold, but when I need to grab a sippy cup or nookie or snack or ? I want it as fast as I can get it.
The two great things about this stroller are 1. The shocks. If you live in a city and are constantly on uneven sidewalks, or if you are a trail runner and are brave enough to try it with a stroller, the shocks would be worth putting up with all the aforementioned inconviences. I am on nicely paved roads and trails, so it isnt worth it to me. 2. The hood does give very full coverage when pulled down. This is nice, but you have a time limit on it...I give you two years maxs with the stroller before your toddler is too big to fit under the hood comfortably.
I was disappointed, really thought the Bob would be the better choice, and i think it looks a little neater than most other joggers out there...oh well.

Amazing!!

I, being a first time mom, didn't do my research and bought another cheaper jogger thinking it would be okay. But, boy was I wrong.

This jogger is easy to set up, easy to fold, and basic glides on surfaces.

There is only one complaint and that is that you have to purchase the tray and adult cup holders separately where most strollers these items are standard.

Don't waste your money on something else if you are runner. This is the one for you and the only one you will need. It is a bit more, but it's even more when buy something else and then have to replace it with BOB that you could have gotten from the get go.

As a runner, I can't recommend this stroller enough. When I was pregnant with my first, I did a lot or research on joggers, but it didn't take me long to discover the BOB is what I will be purchasing. We did and love it. I really can't say enough good about it and I really have no complaints! It's lightweight, super easy to push, and we've had absolutely no issues! I'm now pregnant with my 2nd baby and will be purchasing the BOB Revolution SE Duallie. I can't wait!!

Ah, I guess if I had one complaint it would be that I use a Nalgene sized water bottle and the cup holders (in the seperate console that you have to purchase) are pretty small! This is obviously a minimal complaint though!

I did a great deal of research including speaking with other before making a decision to purchase this stroller. While I am happy with the stroller, I am very unhappy with Toys R Us. A bonus tray was offered as part of a special promotion however, I did not receive the tray advertised. When I contacted Toys R Us they said the tray was based on availability and they would NOT be sending one to me. Despite their claim that it is not available, the tray is still available for purchase yet they do not plan to honor the promotion. Very unhappy customer. Not planning to make another Toys R Us purchase!

This stroller has really good shocks which makes for a smooth ride. On the downside I found this stroller too heavy, especially getting in and out of our SUV. I wish it had an infant support for my three month old.

I wanted a BOB since my son was born and finally after him being a year and a half, my partner finally caved in and bought me one. Since then, we have sold our schwinn jogger and our chicco travel system. This has become the all around stroller. Great for trips to the zoo, park, Kings Island, festivals, walks around the neighborhood, and jogging. Actually can't wait to have another baby so we can get the double BOB. My only negative is that when he is sitting in it, his head hits the sunshield so we have to tuck it. I also wish it would sit up just a little more straighter. Nothing a blanket behind him won't solve. We have also used this on our 9 year old when she was tired.

I put a lot of research into strollers before I bought this, and tied out many floor models! This stroller handles like a dream! Corners like a racecar for smaller areas or weaving paths, or lock out the from wheel for stability on rougher terrain. My son didn't like his bucket car seat, so I didn't get much use until he was 4 mos and able to hold his head up. We have steadily used this stroller since! While it does take 2 hands to collapse easily (although I am sure with a bit more practice I could do it with my son propped on my hip), I can lift it in and out of my trunk with one hand with no problem. It is also fairly easy to open and pop upright with one hand. The orange colour is awesome & helps to stand out in a crowd of bland navy & grey! The canopy is ample and comes down well past my son's head, by the peek a boo window makes it easy to check on him. The 5 point straps hold secure even

I bought this primarily for running of course. It handles like a dream compared to my Baby trend Fixed Wheel jogger that it replaced. The stroller is so effortless to push, I find I have more energy during and after a run.This is the first swivel wheel I tested that didn't shake violently when walking fast or jogging with the wheel unlocked. We have about 50 miles of bike paths where I live, and it is so nice not having to lift the front to turn. Major plus.Narrowed my purchase down to the Joovy 360, Baby Jogger Summit, and the Revolution. The Joovy is a great value, but my two year old didn't like sitting that high.The Summit has front wheel issues. It wobbles just walking. Tested out two different ones on the showroom floor. It's a tad wider than the BoB too.I am extremely happy with my BoB after two months of daily use. Handling, durability, comfort for baby, and effective sun canopy are hard to beat in the jogger category.We don't load it much for shopping, but the few times we did it was no big deal. All joggers are heavy and take up more space compared to lightweight strollers. My wife really loves the thing for shopping though. I think we will be taking it a long more. She likes it over our McLaren Volo now.For a real jogger that can make the transition from smooth to trail surfaces, I think the BoB is a great product. I don't know if there is such a thing as THE best stroller. This is definitely one of the best though, and the best for my family's needs.PROS:Excellent handling and stability on or off road.Good Sun protectionComfortable and good support for childEasy to pushFront wheel adjustment requires no tools.Adequate storage underneath.CONS:Seat back adjustment kind of annoying with 2 straps.No accessories included like the Joovy has.[$] is overpriced imo. Got mine on sale for [$] + 20% competitor coupon which made it a fair price.Strap safety latch works, but a plastic side lock would have been better for when it is folded.Doesn't stand up on its own when folded.Solid purchase overall, don't be afraid. If you are in a position to be patient, maybe wait for the fall/spring sales. That's when BoB's typically are discounted from what I am told.

I use this stroller for running workouts, walking around town and taking it just about everywhere. It is phenomenal for running and great for walking in with the wheel unlocked. It is incredibly easy to maneuver and provides good support. I use the water bottle/wallet Caddie. It's great to run to the farmers' market. The only negative is it's width. It's wide which makes it difficult in stores and sharing a sidewalk, however it is also what increases it's stability for running. All in all, it's a better stroller than I ever imagined.

This stroller is very easy to maneuver and assemble. Materials used are excellent quality. I wish it's a little lighter. We have a small car, so we have to remove two tires so it fits in the trunk. The tires are easy to remove and put back on. Despite its weight, I still love it!
