Question for those with Jogging Strollers

Hi!

I am considering buying a BOB and before I fork out all that moola for a stroller I want to make sure the babies are really going to enjoy it.

Right now, I have a tandem stroller. They are able and really enjoy sitting upright. They hold on to the little handle bar and really love the view - except of course for my DS who sits in back.

BTW, I am buying this stroller without test driving it - so I can really use your opinions. Are your little ones OK with leaning back? Do you use your jogging stroller for more than just jogs or walks - do you go shopping with yours?

TIA for your help!

 

I have a mountain buggy urban double that I love. I still use it. In fact that is the stroller that is in my mini-van. Once you get the hang of folding a big bulky jogging stroller in to your car you will love it.

 

We have the bob revolution and I love it. I use it for walks but my girlfriend runs with hers. The front wheel can swivel or lock in for running. We have 3 other strollers a graco douglide an umbrella stroller and the snap n' go. Thank goodness they were all given to us. The bob hands down is the easiest to push the most comfortable for the babes and is very much in need on craigslist not a lot of used on the market so you are going to get some of your money back when you sell it. The place we bought it from will give us 40% back on it when we go to sell. The bob has great accessories as well we just bought the suncover and the babies are not bothered by it at all. Go on their website for more info. As you can tell I am a huge fan. It is a little big when putting in the car and there isn't much storage underneath the seats but these are the only 2 negatives I have found.

 

I have been using the BOB Revolution Duallie since the girls were one. I love and they love sitting in it and the slight recline has never been an issue. It rolls great and we have taken many many walks with it (I don't run). It has also done great on grass fields when I goto craft fairs and stuff. And it has been great in the mall and the supermarket also. I pretty much use it everywhere. The only place I haven't taken it is on vacation becasue I just don't want anything to happen to it on the plane.

I usually have the jogger and the Combi SBS in my minivan at the same time.

 

Mine love it. they can't really sit all the way up in the regular stroller yet, but like the jogger a lot. The ride is a lot smoother I think. I really like it. Shopping with it is a little difficult because its pretty wide.

 

I do not go shopping with my jogger, b/c a lot of times the aisles are too narrow for a side by side. In addition to walks/jogs I use my jogger for outings like the zoo, museums, and other kid friendly places. But for every day outings I use the tandem.

 

I have the Valco tri mode (w/ toddler seat) and I love it. I only use it around the neighborhood right now b/c I'm still using the snap n go for anywhere we have to drive. The Valco is an excellent stroller - super easy to push w/ one hand (even w/ a big boy + twins).

Here's a link for a lighter version (more portable) but it does not have a toddler seat attachment (not sure if you'd need it anyway).

Good luck!

 

I LOVE my BOB! I don't go into stores with it after trying to go to an open house at my daughter's school and having to take a wheel off in order to get in the door! Other than that though I have not been disappointed. I take it on walks, fairs, hikes, and any outside type event! As soon as I put my babies in it they settle and they love riding in it! I would never hesitate. Plus, once you are ready to sell the resale value on them seems to be pretty good!
