Editorial Review:
BOB Revolution 2007 Strollers have all the features you want all in one stroller. Unlock the swiveling front wheel to easily navigate around tight corners and shopping aisles, or lock the front wheel forward for jogging. Three inches of suspension and on/off-road tires give the child a smooth, nap-inducing ride.








My only criticism would be that the stroller is large and heavy for taking in and out of the car, so I bought a McClaren stroller for trips around town and traveling. The Bob though, is perfect for any walking/hiking I do from home.
Note that the tires can go flat like a bike tire if you run over something sharp. I put self-sealing tubes in and haven't had a problem since.




The BOB stroller also provides much better shade coverage than many of the more expensive & cheaper strollers.
Overall this is a FANTASIC stroller worth every penny.
Put it on your BABY REGISTRY. YOU AND YOUR CHILD WILL LOVE IT. OURS DOES!!!!








The cons: My big 1 year old son looks terribly uncomfortable in it. The fabric back lacks support and he hunches over, and it's a too deep and cuts into the back of his knees. It's also very hot - after our morning walks he's usually soaking wet. (I wish someone would make a mesh stroller!)
It's awkward to adjust the back, and when it's in the fully upright position the extra fabric that's used while reclining hits my son in the head. How's he supposed to fit when he's taller? He's only 1!
I HATE the canopy. I was worried when I bought it and should have trusted my instincts. The canopy looks big, but it can't be adjusted for the angle of the sun. If I walk in the evenings or mornings, the sun blinds my son because the canopy doesn't go low enough. My mall crawler stroller has an adjustable canopy that's a much better design at 1/4 the price.
It's big. It's too wide to roll into the closet I want to store it in, and it's still pretty big when folded (and won't stay folded without the velcro strap I promptly lost). The upside is that I never kick the tires when walking because they're so far apart.
Cupholders cost extra, ridiculous on a stroller this expensive. I wouldn't know, but don't joggers drink water? The storage basket is hard to access but a decent size - I carry a blanket and a loaf of bread to feed the fish in it.
I've had the stroller for 8 months now and I thought I would get used to the quirks; instead I find myself more and more frustrated with them.
Bottom Line: I like the stroller because it's obviously well made and is great to push, but it's hot, uncomfortable, the design is kind of clunky, and the canopy is useless, which is ridiculous at this price.

A MUST HAVE
It's very versatile and the strolling is effortless. My boy is a year old and I use this to jog with him every week. It's so comfortable for him. For all parents, this is a must have. 2008-08-23




Excellent!
This stroller is great! I've been using it since my daughter (now six months old) was born. I used it with our Britax car seat until she was five months, then I removed the car seat and sat her forward for our daily walks (I left the car seat adapter in place for now, she uses it as a footrest). The stroller has a smooth ride and handles rough sidewalks and dirt trails well. The canopy is also excellent for providing good shade for baby.
My only criticism would be that the stroller is large and heavy for taking in and out of the car, so I bought a McClaren stroller for trips around town and traveling. The Bob though, is perfect for any walking/hiking I do from home.

Best overall stroller out there and worth the price!!!
My wife was hessitant at first of buying the BOB, but once she got both her and our (1 year old) daughter were more than pleased with it. Its very well made, folds up very easily for storage and has an extremely smooth ride. Some people complain that it is too heavy or too difficult to store but the wheels all come off pretty easily if you need to store it in a tight place. Someone in a review I read complain that their child choked on the "red rings" used to tighten the shoulder straps. If the followed the directions and used a little common sense they would have easily seen that they could hide the red rings within the shoulder straps and their child would have never found them. That was one thing my wife was very scared of happening until she saw the stroller in person.
The BOB stroller also provides much better shade coverage than many of the more expensive & cheaper strollers.
Overall this is a FANTASIC stroller worth every penny.
Put it on your BABY REGISTRY. YOU AND YOUR CHILD WILL LOVE IT. OURS DOES!!!!

Very impressed
Just received my Revolution stroller and I love it! I'm a little bummed because I have to wait to use it because I'm not due until December. It is very easy to assemble and folds down easily. It is lightweight and glides like a dream. It was worth the price. We plan on using it for our main stroller. The accessories were easy to install just wish that at least the cup holders were included with the stroller. I recommend this stroller to anyone who wants to make a good investment. 2008-08-02




Doesn't live up to the hype
The pros: It rolls really well - very smooth. I do a lot of walking on sidewalks and it is much smoother than my other strollers over the expansion joints. It requires almost no effort to push. It rolls well off-pavement, too. The brake is awesome - if it's on, the stroller isn't going anywhere. I love the color; it's a bright happy deep orange.
The cons: My big 1 year old son looks terribly uncomfortable in it. The fabric back lacks support and he hunches over, and it's a too deep and cuts into the back of his knees. It's also very hot - after our morning walks he's usually soaking wet. (I wish someone would make a mesh stroller!)
