Worth all of my research to find this strollerDec 14, 2009
I researched so many joggin strollers and was unhappy with their reviews until I found the BOB. The videos on the BOB website sold me on the stroller and all of their claims have proven true for me. I reccomend watching all of them. I'm in love with my BOB. I'm one of those moms that research EVERYTHING. I couldn't find a stroller I was satisfied with (price, features, quality) until my son was 6 months old. I'm so glad that I waited until I discovered BOB strollers.
I like this particular model b/c I liked the look of the real bycicle wheels over the plastic ones on other models. The sun canopy is huge and provides great coverage. The back of the stroller can be reclined in so many positions that it is great for baby as s/he learns to sit up. It also reclines all of the way (which i love being able to use when my son falls asleep on our walks). I also like the use of the handbrake on the fixed wheel models. The basket on the bottom has a lot of carying room. The wheels are super easy to attach and detach especially if you are used to taking of the front wheel on a bycicle. It is very easy to fold and unfold. I read a review on one of the models in which the individual complained aboujt how hard it is to open and close. I'm not sure what her problem was but it really is very simple. I also like that the safety strap is attached at the bottom of the stroller so if you were to fall you don't pull the stroller down too (the instep and other models have it attached up by the handle bars and it would pull the stroller down).
The people at BOB's service department are very friendly and helpful. I was having a problem with the handbrake working and they told me to take it to a bike shop and they would cover the cost of repair. It turned out the man at the bike shop only had to take 5 minutes to make an adjustment (that i was not charged for) so I did not have to deal anymore with BOB.
I'm not a jogger so I have never taken this running, but it has been tested in other ways. I took it for a 2 mile walk in 2 inches of snow and it definitely made it with a little extra effort on my part. I have taken it on trails and it is great for going through grass and over curbing. It does ok in sand when we go to the beach.
One compalint I have is that it is so long that it is a bit tricky to get in and out of doors, but I also know it is sturdier and safer b/c it is so long so it's not a major complaint. Another complaint is that the books says not to pull the stroller backwards up steps b/c it can damage the shocks.
Great strollerAug 14, 2009
When I first used this stroller, it shocked me with how smooth and easy it was to run with. With my previous jogging stroller, I had to constantly make course corrections and really push it. With this, I could run normally and just use one hand to keep it going, even with a 2-year old inside. It is very well constructed and durable (we really use and abuse our strollers). It's got lots of pockets and storage for both baby and mom. We absolutely love it.

Great fun for a family serious about runningJun 10, 2008
My wife and I are both fairly serious about running, but our training has been on the back burner for the past year. Now we have the BOB stroller, we both enjoy running with our son, and he loves the ride. We live downtown in a larger urban area, and the jogger is great on bumpy sidewalks. It folds easily and fits well in the trunks of our cars. The fixed front wheel is a must, and the strength of the frame, quality of the suspension, and stability of the traction keeps our passenger safe. We also bought the equipment sling for the handlebar, and its two cup holders and zippered compartment are great for storage of keys, wallet, and cell phone. Although we also have a nice umbrella stroller, we find that the BOB is great for leisurely walks and all our traveling needs.
The instructions are a bit confusing, and of course it is important to have everything assembled correctly. The instructions refer to having the vendor help, apparently assuming that the stroller is purchased at an actual store. With a little patience and time, however, everything is manageable without assistance.
Otherwise, we have no negatives about this excellent stroller. We look forward to many, many miles with our BOB.

 Great stroller on and off trail!Jan 16, 2008
This stroller is really light, very maneuverable and has excellent shocks. I trail run with my 5 month old son in it. Granted he can hold his head up very steadily, this stroller has an excellent ride that he hardly bounce around in it on unpaved roads and fire trails.
It folds pretty easily. The canopy is big enough and extends far enough to cover my son from light drizzle. The storage basket is large and easy to get to.
My only beef, it only comes in 2 colors!
