Revolutionary Swiveling Front Wheel
The Revolution is designed to strike a balance between a walking and jogging stroller. The Revolution lets you get around the house, the neighborhood, or the market with ease thanks to the innovative wheel design that expertly handles corners, making pushing the stroller as quick and straightforward as steering a bike. The 12-inch swiveling front wheel features a ball-bearing headset, proven technology that ensures durability, reliability, and solid performance. It allows you to handle a city's tight corners, and make your way through crowded aisles, and into cramped elevators with ease. Additionally, the shock absorbers minimize the impact of uneven pavement or bumps on both urban streets and woodsy trails, which means you can introduce baby to the "off-road" world without sacrificing his comfort or safety. You can also lock the forward wheel for maximum stability for running and straight-ahead walking. Finally, the state-of-the-art suspension system provides for an exceptionally smooth ride. Safe, Durable Construction
The Revolution has a tough, welded frame made of high strength aluminum alloy and durable, stain-resistant fabric that wipes clean. The ultra-padded seat reclines up to 70 degrees (from vertical) and offer two seat pockets and a large seat back pocket for additional storage of toys and snacks. For added convenience and comfort, you can adjust the shock absorbers for big or small kids. User-Friendly Design
The Revolution boasts a fast, two-step fold-up design for true stow-and-go portability. A foot-activated parking brake keeps things simple, while the five point safety harness with sternum strap ensures a secure, but not overly restrictive, strapped-in fit. This harness also meets ASTM safety standards, is padded for comfort, and is sewn into the seat fabric and connected to the frame for added safety. The padded shoulder harness offers additional comfort, and adjusts easily thanks to the red plastic pull rings. The Revolution weighs 23 pounds and measures 38 x 16 x 23 inches (WxHxD) when folded with the wheels on. It is recommended for children who are at least eight weeks old. Please note that babies incapable of holding their head up must have additional head and neck support to ride safely and comfortably. For jogging or off-road stroller use, children should be at least eight months old. | View Color: |

 Lovin' my Revolution January 19, 2007
Michelle Arellano (Oviedo, FL)
55 out of 55 found this review helpful
I just got my 2007 Revolution and I absolutely love it. My 19 month old gave it his seal of approval when he refused to get out of it the first time he went for a ride. If he even sees it, he wants in it!
The main differences between the 2007 and the 2006 are:
1. Increased seat recline of up to 70 degrees (earlier versions only recline to 45 degrees)
2. Increased back support on the seat back
3. Additional padding added to the seat
Quite frankly, these improvements weren't a huge selling point for me. If my son was an infant, the increased seat recline might matter, but at his age he doesn't want to recline at all.
The sun canopy is the biggest I've ever seen on a stroller. In the past I've had to put a blanket over the canopy to try and shield the sun from my son's eyes, but this canopy solves that problem. It is huge!
As for maneuverability, the Revolution far surpasses any other stroller I've tried. It is a smooth, steady ride. I typically use the swivel feature, but the stroller is still great with the front wheel in the locked position.
The storage basket is fairly large for a jogger and is sufficient for the typical walk or jog. I did take this stroller to the mall today and, while it was incredibly easy to maneuver through the mall, the storage basket was not large enough for shopping and storing packages along the way.
It is very easy to fold and is fairly compact when it is folded, but it does not have a latching feature which makes picking it up a bit awkward. It's not a huge deal to me, though, since I usually leave it open and ready to go in our garage (thank God for 3-car garages!).
I really like the 5 point harness and my son doesn't mind being buckled into the seat. He seems very comfortable and snuggles right in as soon as I put him in. The "cup holders" inside the seat are nice, but he has a hard time getting his cups into them which tends to frustrate him. An older child may not have an issue with this, though.
The shock absorbers are really nice and work very well. We can "off road" in it and still have a nice smooth ride. If I hit an uneven area of pavement or branches/roots on the trail, it is barely noticeable.
Overall I am very happy with this stroller. And, more importantly, it got my son's seal of approval.
The best jogging, mall, travelling etc stroller! December 22, 2007

Here is the summary of the reviews that I read on many websites and everyone seems to agree:
-"It looks great and I get tons of compliments."
- "it is as close as you can get to an all in one stroller!"
- it's a great jogging, mall, walking etc stroller
- it is not too big.
- but it is not too small (like a mall stroller that is usually is too light and good for a baby, but not very good and stable for a toddler).
- it folds up easy, but it doesn't stand up while folded which is ok if you have enough space in your garage or house to store it.
- it takes 2 steps to fold it and a little strength to unfold (you kind of have to throw it).
- The suspension makes the roughest terrain smooth.
- "We take it everywhere from outdoors to the mall. It's so smooth and turns on a dime. I recommend the beverage holder as well...it's really handy."
"Parents looking for a slightly lighter Revolution with a more compact fold (but less jogging potential) should check out the BOB Revolution 12" AW, with three 12" aluminum wheels instead of 16" rear wheels. If you have two kids, or like having plenty of extra room, take a peek at the two seater BOB Revolution Duallie double stroller, which is also car seat compatible."
Infant Car Seat Compatibility
# Fits Britax Companion
# Fits Graco Infant Safe Seat (Step 1)
# Fits Graco Snugride
# Fits Peg Perego Primo Viaggio
Car seat recommendations: Graco because it fits in almost every stroller/car seat adapter (Combi for example doesn't fit in BOB stroller). Graco SnugRide is the most recommended because it's light (usually about 7 lbs off the base) and it's not big and will fit into the shopping cart also. Graco SafeSeat is good too but it's heavier and much bigger (longer). Yes, SafeSeat model fits larger babies and you probably can use it for longer than SnugRide, but would you want to carry a 30 pound baby (+ 9 lbs car seat) around? Probably not. So I suggest use SnugRide till baby is 22 lbs (your baby should be about 7-12 months old, each baby is different) and then switch to a convertible or toddler seat which hold a baby from 22 lbs up to about 60 lbs. You can put your 6 months old baby directly into the stroller without the car seat. Snuzzler will make your baby very comfortable and happy too :)
Changes to the BOB Revolution for 2007:
*New colors
*Increased seat recline to 70 degrees off vertical
*More seat padding
Recommended extras (all have no less than 4.5 star reviews):
* infant car seat adapter (look for one with tray)
* Snuzzler (Kiddopotamus & Co Snuzzler Complete Head And Body Support For Any Seat)
* handlebar console
* weather shield revolution (if it rains or snows often when you have your baby).
* If you plan to travel often also get the "BOB Stroller Travel Bag Black"
"Bottom Line: The BOB Revolution strikes the ideal balance between a walking stroller and a jogging stroller. It weighs a bit more and has less storage than most travel system strollers, but good luck taking one of them out for a jog - or even over some dirt trails. With the Revolution, you can manage any terrain with total ease, and it has a one-of-a-kind adjustable tracking system for jogging. Altogether, you have one of the best all-purpose strollers ever produced."
I LOVE this stroller! January 20, 2007

I used this stroller for the first time yesterday, and I can't say enough good things about it. I also have a Graco Quattro and a Macleran Volo, and the BOB is definitely the most versatile stroller of the three. I can steer it with one hand while handling my dog with the other hand. Jogging with the stroller is a breeze, as are the basic functions of the stroller. I assembled it with no problem, and it's very easy to fold and unfold. It weighs about the same as the Graco and stores similarly to the Graco. My son loved the Graco, but I found it hard to handle and I couldn't run with it. He hates the Volo b/c he can't sit up in it. Although the BOB is more similar to the Volo than the Graco as far as the seating position goes, my son doesn't seem to mind it. I think it supports him well. It has plenty of storage, and I also purchased the handle bar console. The orange color is nice, with a brown contrast. I live in Minnesota, and this thing plows through the snow without any problem. I'm very happy with this purchase.
BOB RULES! June 25, 2007

My daughter is now 10 months old and we have been using the BOB, and only the BOB, since day 1. I didn't want to have a garage full of different kinds of strollers and wanted one that would work from birth to whenever she is too big to be in a stroller and after A LOT of research I ultimately came to purchase the BOB Revolution (in orange which we love!!). It is a little on the expensive side, but considering I am not buying a jogging stroller AND a travel system stroller AND a light weight easy to tote around everywhere stroller, I figured it was worth it. This stoller is awesome on all different types of terrain (hiking trails, beach and of course the streets). The shock system is great and my daughter can snooze comfortably no matter where we are. I have the car seat adapter and have the Graco SafeSeat which works great and has been very convenient to just pop her car seat out and put it on the stroller. The fully rotating wheel makes me able to manuver through stores without taking out other customers or display racks. There is plenty of storage on the BOB, I often walk to the grocery store and load it up and walk home (combining my exercise with running errands- a must do now with the little one!). The BOB folds up quite flat (considering that it is a stoller on the bigger side) and is a bit heavy, but I even had a C-Section and was getting this thing in and out of the car since a week after surgery - I just think of it as some additional exercise! We have also been on several airplane trips with the BOB and use it to hold our carry on bags and then just check it and the car seat when we get to the gate, but the last time we flew they said that it was too big to check at the gate and that we shouldn't have it (supposedly they don't do any big jogging type strollers at the gate, but again I had never had a problem until this last time).
So, to sum this up, I highly recommend the BOB Revolution and after 10 months of heavy use it is still in almost perfect condition (some dings from the baggage handlers at the airport). We also later purchased the cupholder thing and I like it - it has a zippered pocket great for keys/phone, etc.

All about the wait... (Silverdale, WA)

We bought this stroller today in Honolulu at The Bike Factory. Our son is 18 months old, 48 pounds and 40 inches tall (Yes, we know we got a linebacker on our hands) so we had to find something that might last him for the next year or so. We love that the max weight is 70 pounds, but wonder if the harness system will grow with him being that we have already let out all the slack that is there, I think??!!. I am going to read the instructions again to see if I might have missed something. But other than that, the stroller is very sturdy, well-made, and light weight. It handles like a dream and I wouldn't be afraid to take it to the mall shopping because it is not any wider or more cumbersome than our old Graco. It folds up to a nice tiny package and fits perfectly in the back our Explorer, where the Graco did not. I can't wait to take it running down along the beach in the morning. Oh, and our son loves it too by the way... he watched Elmo in the living room and wouldn't get out until we bribed him with a bath, so it must be pretty comfortable. Definitely worth every dime, we love it. I can't say enough good things about BOB either, they are very helpful and their website is pretty informative too, [...]
