Our Review of the BOB Revolution stroller
The BOB Revolution is the reigning champion of swivel wheel strollers. Able to suit every purpose, from walking to jogging, The Revolution uses an adjustable front swivel wheel and 16" rear wheels to make it most multi-functional jogging stroller every produced.
The Revolution's smooth swivel wheel lets you turn on a dime when walking. When you're ready for a workout you can lock the front wheel forward for jogging or sprints. Best yet, you can maintain straight tracking while jogging with BOB strollers exclusive adjustable tracking system. Only the BOB Revolution and the special edition Bob Stroller Strides offer this feature.
When your tracking is adjusted correctly, the front swivel wheel will have no 'play' that creates resistance while you push. Couple this fantastic feature with the Revolution's one-step folding mechanics and you have a stroller that is as convenient as it is versatile.
With the BOB Single Car Seat Adapter you can use your Revolution as a travel system with these infant car seats:
For your baby or toddler, the Revolution comes with a 5-point safety harness, and a seat recline that drops to a 70 degrees off vertical position. Extra cushioning keeps little ones comfy on long rides.
The suspension system with 3" of give and large rear wheels ensure a smooth ride over even and rugged terrains alike. 1-step compactable frame, parking brake, fine-tune adjustable suspension, safety wrist strap, and - as with all BOB jogging strollers - plenty of storage for any parent on the run gives families everything needed for a day out and about.
The BOB Revolution comes with the special Low Boy cargo pouch and dual seat pockets, and the seatback storage unit can hold up to two additional pounds (1 kg.), perfect for a quick snack, a few toys or whatever else comes up.
Bottom Line: The BOB Revolution strikes the ideal balance between a walking stroller and a jogging stroller. It weighs a bit more and has less storage than most travel system strollers, but good luck taking one of them out for a jog - or even over some dirt trails. With the Revolution, you can manage any terrain with total ease, and it has a one-of-a-kind adjustable tracking system for jogging. Altogether, you have one of the best all-purpose strollers ever produced.
We cannot recommend this stroller enough; it is truly Revolutionary.
Parents looking for a slightly lighter Revolution with a more compact fold (but less jogging potential) should check out the BOB Revolution 12" AW, with three 12" aluminum wheels instead of 16" rear wheels. If you have two kids, or like having plenty of extra room, take a peek at the two seater BOB Revolution Duallie double stroller, which is also car seat compatible.
Another great all-around walking and jogging stroller is the Baby Jogger Summit 360. The Summit 360 features automatic tracking instead of the BOB's adjustable tracking. The Summit 360 also features two rear 12" wheels instead of 16" rear wheels. Finally, the Summit 360 uses Baby Jogger's patented one-step fast fold for easy storage on the go.
For a great value, check out the Tike Tech Trax 360. In contrast to the BOB Revolution, the Trax 360 features an adjustable handlebar, something caretakers of different heights can appreciate. Unlike the Revolution, the Trax 360 does not have a suspension system. While the Trax 360 handles off-road adventure with ease, it is not suitable for jogging.

No slouching here!!!!!!!!!!!!
Slouching solution
We just got our BOB and I really love the suspension and ease of maneuverability, true to the reviews. And also true to what everyone says, my son slouches once seated.
I adjusted the shoulder strap one level higher from where it was out -of-the-box. I realized it was lower that his shoulder and maybe it was pushing him down.
Also I placed this small round pillow on his back over the warm fuzzy. I've been using that pillow even from when we were using the Chicco Cortina stroller. That made him slouch/slide too! But the pillow solved it. Hopefully it will in the BOB.
Otherwise, its all good. The basket is big enough to hold my JJ Cole big square diaper bag, Baby Bjorn and blanket.
One suggestion, I wish the tray would be adjustable/removable so its easier to take him out if he's sleeping. And also he can't see his Cheerios cuz it's high.
