Bob Strollers: Why Parents Love Them

BOB strollers are another popular brand that many parents who love running with their kids have come to love and enjoy. Many parents love their BOB jogging strollers and it is considered to be one of the top brands to consider when choosing a model that is right for your needs.

When buying your first one for the first time, there are a lot of different things to consider and different brands to choose from. This is why we offer independent overviews of each company and their products. What we love might not be what you love, especially if you are using yours in a way different than is how we use ours. While we’d love to try out every single different stroller available out there to test and tell you about, that’s also something that is probably unfeasable at this time. However, we are familiar with all of the brands that we have researched on our own, and it’s sure to likely help other parents out there who are looking at what type they should buy and what they might need.

BOB offers a wide variety of different types of strollers, including both fixed wheel and swivel wheel models. As we’ve mentioned in previous articles, the difference between getting a swiveled wheel and a fixed wheel should depend on your primary use for the product. If you plan on using it exclusively for training, then having a fixed wheel that stays straight will give you increased performance ability. However, if you’re like a lot of many parents who like baby items that have dual functions and double purposes, then you’ll likely want a swivel wheel model, as they can be used easily for any type of event – whether taking a leisurely walk through a busy park or running on a track.

Here’s a brief overview of some of the popular types they currently offer:

BOB Revolution: The Revolution offers the qualities you would expect, such as a 5 point harness to keep children safely strapped in as well as storage and a tether system as well. It offers a swivel wheel which makes it ideal for parents on the go as well as though who want to get a good workout as well.  It is available in both single models and the Bob double jogging stroller, also known as as “Duallie”. The 12″ AW Model features 12 inch wheels for best performance in tight corner settings, such as shopping.

Stroller Strides: The BOB Stroller Strides is a model based on the Revolution series that incorporates not only a great product to help you get in shape but also an exercise program to help you with your fitness needs and goals.  If you have never used a stroller for joggers before, then you might want to consider this one, as it features a manual for exercising with it. Also available in single and twin models.

BOB Sport Utility Stroller: The Sport Utility Stroller is ideal for parents who enjoy cross country training. With a fixed wheel, it offers added stability for rocky terrain. 16″ tires provide for good traction. The SUS-Deluxe is another version of this model which offers some additional benefits.

BOB Ironman Stroller: The BOB Ironman stroller is their sleekest and most lightweight product. With a fixed wheel, it is ideal for parents who are training for marathons and other running events. It is also available in both single models as well as double models.
