I have narrowed it down to 2 strollers, either the Baby Jogger Summit 360 or the Bob Revolution stroller. My husband will be taking light jogs with it, and I want a stroller that is easy to maneuver that I can take off road as well on pavement. I looked at the BOB and it seemed a bit big and was heavy when folded, it also seemed big when folded. I am going to look at the Baby Jogger as it seems easy to fold and smaller than the BOB. Any suggestions on which stroller is better? The prices are around the same for these strollers.
Thanks ladies for the responses, the BOB Revolution is what we decided on. We got the BOB Revolution and we love it!!!!!!
I have the Bob and we absolutely loved it. Turns on a dime. All of the things you read in the reviews are right on. I bought mine 2006 so I've been out of the market for a while. We just moved to Virginia from Germany and my husband and I just talked tonight about listing it on e-bay. I have no idea for what price b/c I haven't done any comparative pricing yet but let me know if you are interested. It's a DOUBLE, not a single.
Definately Bob! I have it and love it.
I went with the Bob stroller and have been VERY happy with mine...I didn't find that it's been too big or heavy and I have had some great runs with it...I hope you enjoy yours and if you do decide to buy one I got a great deal on mine at East Coast Bikes...
I have the Bob too. I agree with all the other responses. All the reviews and research we did before we bought it was spot on. It is heavier and bulkier then most others, but we LOVE it. It has been great to take to camp (with rocky unpaved roads), on hikes and even to the beach. We use it everyday to take walks and it handles far better then standard strollers on sidewalks even. It's also easy to get over curbs. It is bulky for store shopping, although I have done it, but I am probably going to move towards a small stroller for that need.
I tried an umbrella stroller on a walk just last week and I hated it compared to using Bob.
Either way you go, the jogging type of strollers with the huge rubber wheels are worth it!
I have a Summit and love it. The fold is phenomenal.
I don't think you can go wrong with either.
I have a Baby Jogger and absolutely love it! It folds easily, isn't super heavy (obviously all joggers are heavier than regular strollers by nature) and it maneuvers awesome on an off road.
I'm sure the BOB is great too, I just don't have any experience with it!
I love my Bob! It's definitely heavy and bulky -- I use it only for outside jogging/walks/off-road etc. I don't use it as my day-to-day stroller b/c I can't haul it in and out of my minivan without a lot of problems. I actually have the double, so it's doubly heavy, LOL. But that said, I still wouldn't trade it for the world - the maneuverability is pheonomenal and I can steer it -- with two toddlers on board -- with a couple of fingers. Additionally, it works really well with only child on board, too, which is important.
Either way, I'm sure you won't go wrong, though! Have fun!
