BOB or something else?

Here is what I'm looking for:

-Jogging stroller to be used for up to 10 miles on city streets (I can't run on trails due to past ankle injuries). Most runs will be 3-5 miles.

-Stroller to be used from infant w/ infant seat adapter, if necessary.

-It will be our only stroller until LO is old enough to be in a cheap umbrella stroller.

I had originally thought the BOB Revolution was the way to go, but now I'm reading that it's not great for running. Thoughts? Any other suggestions? We are most likely receiving this for a gift and they agreed to the cost of the BOB, so cost isn't a concern at this point.

    I love our BOB Revolution (double) for running.  I know some people like the BOB Ironman, but if it's going to be your only stroller for awhile, I'd get the Revolution because of the swivel wheel.  I can't imagine trying to go to the mall with a fixed wheel stroller.

    I run 3-5 miles regularly with the BOB Revolution and love it!  I use the fixed wheel for running and swivel for walking.  I had a different jogging stroller w/ a fixed wheel and the BOB is 100x's better

    Thanks! I'm glad to hear this, I like the look of the BOB better than most others!
