The Best By Far
Reviewer: Anonymous , Leicestershire, england

This is Amazing - Im in the Uk and got this by chance from someone who went to the states and bought it back for me. WOW!!! Whilst i dont run/jog As a family ( 5 children) we do alot of terrain walking when the English weather allows. I had an Instep twin for my toddler and baby but now the toddler is a "big boy" - almost 4 he prefers to walk/run with his older siblings and this is amazing for my daughter shes now 22 months old & she has bags of room also if needed my 3.5 yr old could use and still have space - I cant praise it emough it even fits in the back of our MPV with all 7 of us in the car. Also from a Style point of veiw i know if i go out with my B.O.B im very unlikly to see another Mummy with one and im forever being asked by other people were they can get one
I love it and will use it till my daughter refuses to go in it
The only downside - i wish the seat had a little more padding, and although it says its suitable from approx 8 weeks im my honest opinion i wouldnt put a child under 12 months in it unless they were in an infant seat using the infant seat adaptor and of course being in the uk i find it hard getting accesories

My son LOVES this stroller! After buying a travel system before he was born that I ended up hating, I now REALLY research all of his purchases and rely on feedback like this (which is why I came back to write!). My son used to HATE taking walks, until we got this stroller. The first time we put him in it he fell asleep! I would definitely suggest the fleece insert for smaller babies...I feel like that really adds to his comfort, especially when he was really little (we got it when he was 4 months, and he is almost 8 months now). This is a quality stroller in every way and it looks great too...we always get compliments on it when we are walking/running. 5 stars...my husband, son and I all LOVE BOB!!!!!

Recalled item 11/98-3/00

If you have an older BOB or are given one please go to the CPSC for more information as to why these strollers made from 11/98- 3/00 were recalled. Has to do with the front wheel connector, can crack.
Comments from JoggingStroller.com:
It is true they had a voluntary recall on strollers iin 2000. It only affected a few thousand strollers, and a very large percentage have been retro-fitted. There may still be some floating around, for sale as used, or hand-me-downs. Here is our link on the BOB website that will explain exactly which strollers are concerned:

or

There were no injuries or accidents, and incidents were very rare, however being a new company to this market, and observing that this cracking could indeed ocurr in specfic conditions, it was not a forced recall. only voluntary on the part of BOB.

My husband and I run 5-7 miles a day and we go to at least one Cross Country meet a week and our BOB is perfect! We LOVE it! We actually had another stroller before this one and in comparison to the one we used to have this one pulls itself! It is awesome! We can run over grass or on the roads and either way our little girl (currently six months old) is so comfortable that she is able to sleep regardless of what we are doing! It is great! We love it!

Worth Every Penny!!
Reviewer: Patty , Newmarket, NH

I purchased the BOB Sport Utility stroller when my daugter was 4 months old (just turned 1yr!). I never write reviews of products bought on-line but I could not be happier with this stroller. I run about 4-5 times a week on average 5 miles each time. I have never had a problem with this stroller! I run on the beach, on the roads, on trails and I have never once had a problem. I run with other moms with all different types of jogging strollers and they will tell you that the BOB is the best! The frame is light weight but STURDY! There is back support for the baby, pockets on the inside to stash toys and sippies, there is plenty of room even for big kids (I once ran with a 40 lb. child with no problem), it is leight weight and doesn't pull. My daughter LOVES this stroller, whenever she is cranky or upset I know if all else fails I can put her in the stroller and go for a jog and she will be happy. I couldn't be happier with this stroller and highly recommend it to anyone who jogs and wants some freedom to exercise without compromising the comfort of their child.

BOB vs. Dreamer Design GST
Reviewer: Anonymous , Dallas, TX
Date: September 30, 2005
Isnt this website great! I researched quite a bit and read lots of reviews on this site before purchasing. It came down to two: the BOB SUS and the Dreamer Design Rebound GST. I tried to go to a retail store and compare them side-by-side, but no luck - nobody stocked the DD GST (and I live in a relatively big city Dallas). So I did what any over-thinking person would do. I bought one of each! When I compared the two side-by-side, the winner for me was the BOB. I must say that the DD is probably a great stroller. Almost everything I did not like about the DD GST was related to its size - the thing is HUGE!! If you need/want a big stroller, the DD might work perfectly for you, but here is my situation: small baby (3 months old), I run from home on concrete, but also load up and hit my favorite running destination, which is asphalt (some new, some old and bumpy), and the wife will also be using it on her own. So, if your situation is different, you might have to re-assess based on my comments below.
Here are the details:
Canopy - the DD does have more versatile/functional canopy; however, it does not have much reinforcement and it does not hold its shape very well. It looks all wrinkled up. It is also not very smooth and clicks pretty loud when you are adjusting it. However, it does rotate all the way forward, which is awesome. Now, both of these complaints of mine may have solved themselves after some use, but not sure. The BOB canopys is 2nd in functionality only to the DD, but is better engineered. It is very smooth and just looks cleaner and neater. Even as good as the BOB canopy is, if your route and time of day have you running into a setting or rising sun on the horizon, the DD canopy is going to be the only one that works for you, wrinkled up and all.
Suspension - the BOB suspension is super-plush and handles the normal bumps in the road great. The design of the DD suspension is quite a bit different which causes it to be much stiffer. Its designed to allow the wheels to give backwards more than up and down. Perhaps this is for bigger kids and bigger potholes and bumps (that you should probably avoid anyway). I agree with another reviwer - if you end up going with the DD, you could save the money and go with the model below (no 20

Part of the fun of being a mom!

I LOVE this stroller. We ordered the infant seat adaptor so that we could use it right away (I had the baby out in it in the first week) and it is so great. He loves to go for walks and it gets me out of the house when I'm feeling cooped up without having to take the baby too far from home (he's only three weeks). It rides so smoothly that I can use my CD player without it skipping. I would highly recomend this stroller to anyone who loves to be outdoors. Just remember that unless you have an SUV to load it into, it is a bit large but its relatively light and easy enough to load into the back of an SUV.

The envy of every baby

The BOB Sport Utility Stroller is one of the best baby purchases we've made to date. Not only is it totally cool to look at but it rolls like a dream. Give it a little push and I swear it'll just keep rolling forever. Our 7-month old just loves going for walks in her BOB and fits wonderfully in the harness. We got the extra drink holder/utility bar and that is also worth the price. Okay, the gist of the stroller: cool looking, very easy to assemble, folds with ease, great 5-point harness with nice cushioning for baby's neck and shoulders, and the shocks give an unbelievably smooth ride even on the dirt trails we've hiked. If you're planning on doing more than just walking on your neighborhood sidewalks (although it's great for that too), then this BOB is well worth the price.
