Which BOB do you have?

Kelly1109

I am trying to decide which BOB stroller to buy.  I am a runner and want one that will last and be good for some longer runs and since its almost $400 I want one that can also be used as a regular stroller (with the car seat adaptor) . 

Seems to me like the BOB Revolution is more for walking.  Am I right?  Or would it last for running 3-4 times a week?

I use mine for running 5 miles 3-4 times a week and have no problems. I love it so much infact I just bought the dualie. My Ds is still too small to take running but I'm hoping to like it just as much as the single.

You can lock the wheels on the Revolution and it runs great.....in fact, at my last 5K in November, I saw tons of BOB Revolutions being pushed by fast runners.    The Ironman is the one that's strictly for running.....it's a little cheaper and you can always find them on Craigslist.

I have the BOB Revolution with the smaller wheels. I have heard the the larger wheels are better if you are running. We mostly use ours for walks.

FYI, if you are an REI member (and it cost only $20 to join lifelong), BOB strollers are 20% off now.

If it's going to be your only / primary stroller I'd suggest the Revolution w/the larger wheels. Lock the front wheel and viola - you're fine for running, even longer distances.

I have the Bob Sport Utility D'Lux and the front wheel does not swivel.  https://www.amazon.com/BOB-Sport-Utility-Stroller-Pacific/dp/B000N262MK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=baby-products&qid=1269953877&sr=8-3

This is not my primary stroller, so for shorter runs and walks around the neighborhood the full time locked front wheel is kind of a pain, but we make do. We do have the infant adaptor so we were able to use this around the neighborhood from the very beginning w/our DS for extended walks.  We love our BOB!
