BOB Stroller Revolution 2009 - What and Where to Buy

BOB Stroller Revolution Duallie
The BOB Stroller - Revolution is the best-seller in the entire BOB stroller collection. This stroller is versatile, sooooo easy to use and is also quite stylish! But - the most important feature of this stroller (other than it's safety) is the comfort provided for little ones going along for the ride.

If you're wondering what to buy in the Revolution collection, here is some info for you that might help to sort out the options available...

Single or Duallie? This would be of course the first choice to make - and the easiest, most obvious one. The revolution is available in both single and double seaters ("single" or "duallie").

Aluminum or Polymer Wheels? Here is the next choice to make, and is perhaps the one to take the closest look at. The polymer wheels have deeper treads and are best if you will be using the stroller mostly off-road. The aluminum wheels have slick, high quality tires that are excellent for on-road use.

Everyday use or jogging? I can't imagine any parent not expecting to use a single stroller for multiple types of occasions. The BOB Revolution Stroller has a front revolving wheel for everyday use (it works great even around tight corners) - the front wheel locks into place for jogging purposes.

This stroller is an excellent choice for joggers, and I also know of moms who own one that rave about it's practicality and ease of use for everyday strolls in the park, to the zoo, mall, etc.

Where to buy the BOB Stroller Revolution Model: There are a number of online websites that offer this stroller - only two websites truly impressed me with their shipping policies, selection and competitive pricing:
On a tight budget? OK, there is an option that you should check if you're needing to do some penny pinching (a concept I'm familiar with) - BOB Revolution on eBay auctions.

Some words about this - eBay is a good place to find this stroller for a discounted price - you can actually find a "gently used" or a previous year's model for quite a bit less than other resources if you monitor the auctions. Sometimes there are what I would call "slim pickins" in the colors and models available.

All for today!

BOB Strollers 2009 - What's the Best Choice?

BOB Stroller Revolution Mesa OrangeWhen first shopping for a BOB stroller, parents or baby shoppers might wonder - which stroller is the best choice? Each BOB stroller has some different features that makes it unique in use - so looking at the choices before buying is definitely a good idea!

Here is a brief breakdown of BOB Strollers 2009 - with a bit of info on each, what makes it unique from the rest, as well as some helpful "where to buy" info...

First, the BOB Revolution Stroller ("Duallie" shown left in Mesa Orange) - This stroller is the most popular of all in the BOB lineup - it's great for everyday use, as well as a jogging stroller. What makes this stroller more unique is it's rotating wheel in the front, making maneuvering the stroller an absolute breeze. For jogging, the front wheel locks into place, it comes with either aluminum or polymer wheels, with slick tires (for onroad) or bumpy, higher traction tires (for offroad). (Even for parents who don't use the stroller for jogging purposes, they rave about the handling and convenience it adds to their lives.)

Next up - the BOB Stroller Sport Utility - The most popular stroller in the sport utility category is the Ironman BOB Stroller. This is the lightest of all BOB strollers, and is the choice for serious athletic parents. It might just be the perfect jogging stroller for onroad running, with slick high quality tires and suspension, keeping the ride smooth for baby and much easier for mom or dad.

Next - the Stroller Strides BOB Stroller - This is the model that is used for the "Stroller Strides" exercise program, used by many women (men too) to get a total body workout - all while taking baby (or babies) for a ride! It comes with the Stroller Strides kit including a full guide on how to use the equipment and get the most from your workout. (As a note, the kit can be purchased separately and used with another model BOB stroller.)

You can find any of these models in the single or Duallie BOB Stroller. Both the single and the Double BOB jogging stroller lineup have received consistently rave reviews from the parents who own them.

Where to Buy BOB Strollers 2009:

Here are the best places I've found online to buy any of the strollers from the 2009 BOB lineup - it's worth checking each resource for price and selection.
  • MyStrollers.com (great overall selection of BOB strollers, competitively low prices - this company says that they will beat any advertised price - also, free shipping.)
  • BabyEarth.com (nice selection, also competitive low prices and free shipping for the BOB Strollers.)
  • Amazon Baby - Everyone knows about Amazon, but many aren't aware of their great selection of baby travel items - and baby items of all kinds! This is an excellent place to check.
  • eBay.com - Sometimes there are good auctions for the BOB strollers - sometimes not, but it's definitely worth your while to check. If you're on a budget you can even sometimes find a "gently used" stroller for a much lower price than anywhere else.
There are the basic choices for the best of BOB Strollers 2009, best shopping too - hopefully this gives you some guidance on which model to buy! I will be writing more in depth about the different strollers available in the days to come.

All for today! =)
