I'd rather be strolling with BOB

After buying and selling more than 21 strollers over the past several years I have finally found what I was looking for. I have found contentment and peace. I have found the Bob Revolution stroller.

My husband says that I am a stroller addict and he may be right. Since purchasing this stroller I haven't felt any urge whatsoever to search for the latest and greatest. The grass on the other side of Bob is not greener.

1. The colors are fantastic! I purchased a citrus green stroller and the color is refreshing. It gets many compliments and looks of envy from Dads.

2. The stroller turns on a dime. It is a three wheel stroller and can navigate the narrowest of aisles in upscale boutiques. For jogging it has a simple, red, lock knob to lock the front wheel in place. It did wonderfully on vacation in hotel elevators. No more having to lift up the end of the stroller to get by or to get on a curb.

3. The stroller is lightweight; especially for a stroller. It only weighs 22 pounds. When folded it is super easy to carry up stairs, on a tram at Disney, or on an airplane.

4. The seats are slingback style and can easily be adjusted. It is a very comfortable stroller. My 2 yr old falls asleep in it often. If she falls asleep when the seat is in the full sitting up mode it is possible and easy to adjust to the reclining mode without waking her up.

5. The sun canopy is the best. I searched high and low for a sun canopy that provided sufficient shade. We used this in the summer at full day excursions to Disney and to Sea World and the toddler riding never once received too much sun. I like the peek-a-boo window on the top so I can check on her.

6. The basket underneath is great. Again we took this on all day excursions and I was able to pack enough juice boxes and snacks under there for 3 kids. It has a large pocket behind the seat that is great for books, diapers, wipes, whatever you need readily accessible.

7. The optional drink caddy/small zippered area known as the handlebar console is well worth $20. In fact, you could fit two of these caddies on the handlebars. That would give you 4 cup holders and 2 zippered pockets. The pockets are wonderful for spare change, cameras, film, sunscreen, cell phone, ipod, sunglasses for 3 kids, etc...

8. The fold on the stroller couldn't be any easier. It is so well engineered. The motions for folding are fluid and easy. It doesn't kill your back. Once folded I carried this stroller and a toddler onto a tram at Disney. It's that easy. It has to be the only jogging stroller that you could put in an overhead bin on an airplane. There is even a small suitcase that you can purchase to put it in for situations like this.

9. Shock absorbers offer a smooth ride.

10. Easy seatbelt to put on and off. It's not too hard to fasten and it is easy to get just right on the child.

11. Stroller works well with diaper bags that clip to the handle bar. I haven't tried the BOB diaper bag but there are several like it that I have and they work well and it offers yet even more storage capacity. The stroller can carry so much stuff I could move into the zoo with the kids for a week.

My only complaint is actually not a complaint but a worry. I love Bob so much that I can't stand the thought of him getting dirty. The canvas at the toddlers feet can get quite dirty and it is not removeable. I wish it were so I could wash it. Since it isn't I wipe it clean and it looks great still. I am just in love with Bob.
