I'm torn :)

And its a really stupid reason.  I had a jogging stroller, but it wasn't working well for actually JOGGING (hmm...) so we took it back to BRU (and they were GREAT about refunding our $$, I do have to say). 

So now, I'm on the hunt for a new stroller ... we don't have one at all, so I haven't been to stroller strides all week - KILLING me!  

I don't want to spend more then $200 because I'm frugal, and even though I'll use it tons I still feel like its a lot of money for a baby pusher.  

But I REALLY want a BOB.  And DH seriously told me tonight I should just get it (after he asked me what strollers the other moms have, LOL!).  I about died.  He would NEVER say such a thing!  LOL 

Re: I'm torn :)

  • GET IT!!  They are such great strollers.  We have a Bob Ironman so that we can run with it and love it.  If you aren't planning on a ton of running though and think you will do more walking, go for the BOB Revolution.  One thing you could do is check your local Craigslist first.  I see them on ours every now and then for a good price and they hold up very well.  That being said, if  you do have to buy new, remind yourself that they have great re-sale value!

     

    Now hurry... go get one first thing tomorrow before he changes his mind!

  • Get the BOB.  You work hard, and deserve to treat yourself. 
  • Dude.  Get the Bob.  Seriously.  You will love it!  It's on my Wish List and I will make it happen by next summer.  You have to get one to try it out and tell me which one to buy and what I'll need to go with it.

     

     

  • LOL thanks ladies!  Great encouragement!!  ;)

     I think I may get one tomorrow ... GAH.  SO $$$!

     I think I'm going to get the revolution, Mrs.Donkey - the wheel locks so we can use it for running or for normal use ... WDYT?

  • I used to work at Right Start so I was schooled on the strollers and the rule we used was if you planned on running more than three miles a week total on a regular basis, then you would be better off with the fixed wheel Ironman.  However, you can lock the wheel on the Revolution and it's much easier to take on trails and streets.  We have the IM because we train for marathons and stuff.
  • Get it! IMO it's better to get one that you know is nice and that you really want rather than settling for one that might end up being not so nice and returning it again
  • Not sure if it still works, but there's a BRU coupon code floating aroubd for 20% off!

    coupon code: 922600 

  • If you are going to use it a lot, get one that will last and works well. ?Check retailmenot.com for various website coupons.

  • Get the BOB- it has nothing but rave reviews!!!!! I haven't read about a single person who wished they would have gotten a different (cheaper) stroller.?
