PSA: ladies who want a BOB Revolution

Gummybear · June 2011

I know there were a couple of you who were looking at it. It's a Lightening Deal for the orange 2010 today on Amazon. The price/deal will be live in about 2 hours. I got mine last month for $290 which is a huge savings. Not sure if the price will be the same/lower/higher but keep your eye out. Free shipping too!

What is a BOB revolution? I clicked the link, but it doesn't direct me to one specific item or brand.

ETA: Nevermind, I found it! I was not aware of these lightening deals, so thank you for bringing this to light for me.

It's a jogging stroller.

Does my link show the Lightening Deal box? There should be an arrow to scroll through all the deals for today.

Thank you for sharing this. I am actually thinking to get this also, but it looks like it is $379. The free shipping is awesome deal. I also got a 20% off BRU coupon that I was thinking to use towards this. 20% down from $449 will put me around $360. If I can find this on Amazon for $290, that would be awesome though.

Thanks, GB. We were waiting for the fall sale at REI to purchase this stroller. I'm a walker, not a jogger, but figure with living in CO that we need this type of stroller. I'm afraid though that we'll need a separate one for the car since it seems to be heavy. So many decisions!

Technically the 20% off coupons at BRU don't work on the BOB or Baby Jogger strollers (the 10% off strollers coupon that was in the little booklet they handed out) doesn't work either. Its all up to the cashier if they decide to take it or not.

Boooooooo, that really stinks. thank you so much for letting me know

It is pretty heavy. Of course, I am not in the best of shape right now, but I had a Snap and Go last time which weighs nothing. I have to say, pushing it is a dream, so light and easy to turn. But hauling it in and out of the car is def. more taxing than the sng!

Too bad it's the 2010. I just got the 2011 with the REI sale because I have a chicco infant seat and wanted the adaptor to go with it. The chicco adaptor bar is new and only fits the new 2011 models.

At 22w pg, it's on the heavy side but considering the size of it it's not too bad IMO.

I got the old adapter during the REI sale! It was a little over $30! but I have the old Snugride

Gummy, I PPH you. Thank you for helping me save almost $200 on a stroller (compared to the new 2011 version) that I thought was out of reach of my budget! I don't care if its a 2010. It is even the color I wanted. All I need to do now is figure out my car seat situation and get the snap bar thingy to attach it to the BOB. Total score.

You are awesome for letting us know about this deal!

Yeah, I never knew the trickle down effect my car seat choice would have 5 years ago!

My pleasure! I scored it during the Lightning Deal last month thanks to a kind Bumpie who posted it on my BMB board. I thought I would pay it forward I would never be able to justify paying the full price either. I have had my eye on the stroller for months and this is the best deal I have seen, from the most reputable dealer.

It's funny -- given all the choices I would pick orange first too. My MacClaren is orange, I like the bright colors!

EAT: Here is the carseat adapter for the 2010, also a steal
