Bob Revolution or Baby Jogger Summit XC

I was leaning toward the Summit bc it looks like it folds really easily. But a lot of sites now have the Bob on sale. So, experience with either? What would you recommend and why?

Re: Bob Revolution or Baby Jogger Summit XC

  • I can't speak of the Baby Jogger, but I have a Bob Revolution and I love, love, love it! I had a single, and when baby #2 came along we got the Duallie too. It folds super easy, drives well with one hand, turns on a dime, is very easy to run with. The only thing I wish was possible was that the Revolution had a hand break, expecially since I run with 50 lbs of kid with my 2 and I'm fairly small so down hills can be tricky, but that was never an issue with my single.

    Also, something to think about is can you actually run with a Baby Jogger? I know that a lot of them are not made for running, despite the name. So make sure you do your research on that before you buy.

  • I have a Chariot, Bugaboo Chameleon and just bought a BOB revolution.  I can't say enough of the BOB rev - it is a fab jogging stroller!
  • We love our BOB Revolution.

    I was going to say the same thing.  I have BOB dualie utility sport, and I love it.

  • Thanks ladies! Sorry for the slow reply. The Summit XC is the Baby Jogger's running stroller, unlike some others in their line.

  • I looked at both the old and new BOB as well as the Baby Jogger Summit at BuyBuy Baby the other week.  I "tested" them out around the store.  Personally I chose the Baby Jogger over the BOB.  The Baby Jogger comes with the hand brake, and it is SOOO much easier to fold, especially compared to the newer BOB.  Also looked into which car seat I liked best, and decided on the Chicco carseat which is compatible with the new BOB as well as the Baby Jogger.  The Baby Jogger was much lighter and more compact than the new BOB.  Helped make my decision easy. 

    Baby Jogger it is!  Should be getting it at my shower in 3 weeks.  I can let you know then, because I may just have to take it out for a test run!
