We want to get a BOB jogging stroller, and can't decide between the BOB Ironman or Sport Utility. DH wants it to be easy to push and run with, but also wants to use it on the boardwalk.
I'm still trying to find the right BOB for us, but both the Ironman and Sports Utility are rated pretty poorly on Consumer Reports. The Ironman is rated slightly better (especially for performance), but not by much.
I'm sure this is being heavily driven by the February (2011) recall on the BOB (including the Ironman and Sports Utility), so as long as you're cafeful about not purchasing an old model that hasn't been corrected, then you should be fine.
We're debating between the Ironman and Revolution right now.

I was really torn until this weekend when we went to a bike/running shop and talked to someone. Everyone here is all about the Revolution, but DH read on running forums about the Ironman. Anyway, we are going with the Revolution. There is no reason why we can't run with the wheel fixed. Now the problem is decided on which color to get.....I kinda like the orange.
We have the Ironman and I love it. It's great for running but also for walking around. It pushes really easily and smoothly. We don't go to malls so I can't say how it would handle there, but it is great anywhere outside, and even inside shops.
