The best so far
Reviewer: Gail B. Shrive , San Leandro, CA

This is my 2nd jogger stroller and it's fantastic! So smooth and compact, even fit in the trunk of a PT Cruiser. I love that it's almost flat when you recline it, my daughter looks so comfortable when she's sleeping in it. I also do stroller strides and it really is the best stroller for the part. I highly recommend it!

Couldn't Ask for Anything More!

This is the 2nd jogging stroller I bought. It definitely is - what you pay is what you get! I first thought I could get a cheaper jogger (Baby Trend Expedition LX) and it was horrible! The front wheel shook so violently my son was scared! I returned it and did some research and fell in love with the BOB stroller. It's really great for jogging and even everyday use. The basket underneath is a bit hard to reach compared to my Peg Perego, but it's livable. My only small gripe is that when you fold it up, there isn't a latch to hold everything together, but I can live with that. My son loves it and the pockets in the sides are great for little snacks/drinks for him! I find it very easy to manuveur with one hand and the oversized canopy is wonderful! I would definitely recomment this to anyone who was interested in a swivel wheel jogger. And I must say that their design is 300x better than Baby Trend's. Their swivel wheel has no resistance and is so smooth! You can tell it's a well thought out design.

LOVE IT

I have the 2005 version of this stroller. I bought after joining Stroller Strides. I LOVE IT! It glides in comparison to other strollers. My daughter is very comfy. I do wish the seat reclined a bit more though. I use it as my daily stroller. The storage basket fits our coats in the winter. And the handlebar console fits all my other junk and a drink. It's great for jogging, you can easily manuever it with only one hand and even run on the side of it. The shade covers very well. I've been very happy with this stroller.

Hey there! Check out the 2007 BOB Stroller Strides. For 2007, BOB increased the recline on their strollers. All 07 strollers recline 70 degrees from verticle.

Bob Stroller Fitness
Reviewer: Tim Torrington , Los Angeles, CA

Great Stroller, looks good, can go just about anywhere, folds very well. Not worth paying more for the "spoked" wheel option particularly if you plan on taking it off road on trails, etc. Only gripe is the stroller has a tendency to "lean" either right or left and the adjustments to counter this are difficult and don't always work well.
Comments from The Staff:
This is strange. It's pretty rare to hear someone say it 'leans', and I think you mean pulls left or right. There are some steps you can take, as it almost always has to do with the front wheel. Be sure to take it off, and put it back on again, or even try flipping it around. And the fine tuning is pretty dialed in with a engineer's mind behind it. If you are still having issue, don't hesitate to give us or BOB a call.

Excellent jogging stroller!!

Great, quality merchandise. I love that the front wheel unlocks for walking (swivels). I love that the seat reclines. And the sun visor is one of the biggest around. It also has a great cup holder attachment up front.

City Streets
Reviewer: Jen , Boston, MA

My husband and I were lucky enough to receive tons of hand me downs with our first child. But when it came to strollers I knew exactly what I wanted and I wasn't going to settle for just any stroller. I was in search of a stroller that could adapt to an infant carrier. I wanted (and needed) a stroller that could handle city and suburb sidewalks in all kinds of conditions. I needed a stroller that was going to plow through any kind of weather and not get bound up by snow clumps. I was head strong in my desire to find a stroller that was easy to fold and store and didn't weigh a ton. And while a stroller with a suspension system sounded like an unnecessary luxury at the time of purchase it came in so handy when our newborn fussy son needed to be bounced as he slept in his stroller.
I love my Bob stroller. I get compliments on it daily and I can't help but recommend it to everyone who asks about it.
Personally, it was a big expense to spend almost $400 on a stroller, but in the end it was worth every penny.

Great Walking Stroller
Reviewer: Anonymous , Richland, MI
Date: June 29, 2006
I did a lot of research prior to purchasing this stroller. I found these reviews helpful in my decision. I have used this stroller just about everyday for the past four months. We walk daily 2-3 miles daily outside and needed a stroller that would standup to this type of use. It pays to do your research. I did find this stroller for a lower price and joggingstrollers.com
no only matched, but beat the competitor price substantially. The stroller was shipped FedEx and received the day after my order was placed. The packaging was excellent and arrived in perfect condition. The first thing I notice when I unpacked the stroller was the quality which was better than expected. Assembly was minimum, easy and had great step-by-step instructions with photos. Be sure to check the air pressure in the tires, mine arrived with just a couple of pounds. Well, I'll start with the tirez. If you walk on pavement, rubber tires are a must which are much quieter than plastic. With the swivel front wheel the stroller turns on a dime. The stroller is easy to push and turn with one hand. The brake lever is easy to operate with your foot. The folding system requires two steps which prevents accidental folding while junior is onboard. We equipped the stroller with the optional child seat adapter. It works great and holds a Gracco Snugride infant seat perfectly. It is held securely with a quick release strap. The only downside to the adapter is the stroller does not fold as compactly when installed. The wheels are quick release and a nice feature if you plan to transport the stroller in a car. We have a Volkswagon Passat. With the child seat adapter it will not fit in the trunk, but will fit in the front seat with the rear wheels removed. We use the stroller primarily for walks in the neighorhood, but it has been taken to the mall and grocery store without problems. The fabric is a nice color red and appears to be waterproof. We got caught out in the rain and junior remained dry. The water repelled well and dried quickly. In closing, I am very please with this purchase and worth the higher cost. The stroller has a great design and exceptional quality. I would not hesitate to recommend it. Great stroller for the guys!

BOB Stroller Strides
Reviewer: Janet , California

I love, love, love this stroller! I wish we hadn't bought a full size one as well, (we have a full size Graco)
. This does everything we need it to. Easy to fold and store and also easy to navigate. The stroller has definitely helped to lose the baby weight. :-)

Fantastic stroller! Recommended
Reviewer: Anonymous , Chicago, IL
Date: June 26, 2006
Got this stroller based on recommendations from friends/other users. I love it! I haven't used it for jogging yet but I can say that it is so much easier to navigate bumpy, uneven city streets when we go on long walks. It's sturdy, provides a smooth ride for baby, has a great canopy that provides lots of shade, and has several convenient compartments for storing small items like sunscreen, water, blankets, etc. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of five is that I would like to see it in other colors besides red (the logo is a bit loud as well); it can be hard to get things in and out of the bottom basket once baby is sitting in the stroller, and if it were a bit more compact--I'd give it five stars. Overall, the positives FAR outweigh the negative.
