I have a 3 year old and baby on the way and would like to have a jogger for walks/running 5 days/week..Any suggestions? and is the BOB worth the money?
I've had the BOB running double stroller since my twins were 3 months old over 3 years ago. I love it and still use it with them even though one of them is about 45 pounds and the other is about 35 pounds. They both like the stroller and are happy in it for quite a while. Good luck with your search!
Hi A.,
I have a the single BOB Revolution and love it! It is the easiest Stroller I have ever used. They do have the duallie in the revolution and I can't say enough about the pivot wheel option. I would get this in a heart beat, but it is not in the cards to purchase another BOB at this moment. I intend to purchase the double in the future though!
I like the Tike Tech Trax 360 that I received as a gift last month. It has ample headroom for an older child (my 3 yo is 37 inches tall) and fits a newborn too. I like the swivel front wheels that can be locked stationary for serious jogging. It's pretty rugged too and seems to have enough under carriage storage. It's about half the price of a BOB. Check it out online. Only con I see is that it needs a sunshade because the canopy doesn't supply full coverage. There's an aftermarket sunshade on the website that I plan to purchase. Best wishes!

I found a Burley baby jogger on-line at amazon for under 200 dollars and love it. Its light weight, easy to jog with and the handlebar adjusts. I found a baby jogger too high and the Bob strollers do not adjust to height so unless you are taller it won't work. I am 5'1'' so I found the handles on my first jogger way to high so it was important for me to find one that adjusts. The Burley has lots of pockets too. You can't find it in a store but you can find it on-line. Burley does mostly bike trailers that can be used a joggers as well but just note that is not what I have, they do make a jogger. I do highly recommend it.
I would like to know of a good double jogging stroller too! I hope someone has some good advice :o)
Go directly to onestepahead.com That is where I got mine. I guess it is exclusive to them and there is no "brand name". Who knows how many miles is on it now, but I got it 4 years ago and started pushing my then 2 year- old and new born. It has a reclining feature, and a hidden rain bonnet, and the new one has swivel front wheels! I would recommend getting a couple of clothespins and a beach towel to keep sun from getting on new baby (I ran in AM withthe sun low in the sky) I have done lots of racing and this was one of the BEST things a runner with 2 kids can have! When I bought it, it was priced at 220 or so, but totally worth it! I have the handgrips now wrapped with tennis racket grips, and STILL use it with each boy weighing in at about 45 lbs! Add water and snack and it easily adds up to 100 lbs of pushing. I tell myself it's like a hill workout! Any way. good luck with the search, and I hope you end up with the ONE that fits your needs best.
I love my BOB double stroller, and didn't even look at other options out there before buying this one. The car seat adapter is my only complaint. My baby's car seat fell down into the seat often- I had to keep a blanket underneath the bottom of the car seat in order to keep it level. Once I figured that out, it was fine (but for $600, I expected more). Now that he's 10 months and my toddler is almost 3 we all love it. If I could do it over again, I would check out the less expensive joggers first and then make my decision.
