You’d think that with its price, this stroller would be left behind in sales and in positive reviews. That’s not the case with the BOB Revolution Single Stroller.

The three-wheeled stroller comes with a 5 point harness system and state of the art suspension mechanism.

The Good
All-Terrain Three Wheel Stroller
Active parents will surely appreciate the superior maneuverability that the BOB Revolution SE stroller provides. This is after all the main feature that separates it from the lower-priced alternatives on its class. Built like a tank, the stroller can handle bumps, rough terrains, grass, sand, and uneven sidewalks well. The front wheel is capable of rotating fully so the stroller can turn 360 degrees without a sweat. The three wheeled design is unconventional but it works diligently in making sure that you steer the stroller effortlessly. Another factor that helps is its large wheels which make it less susceptible to uneven surfaces.
Safety Features: 5 point harness & secure front and rear wheels
Safety is a priority with the BOB Revolution stroller. It comes with a 5 point harness system with easy to adjust and well-padded straps. The front wheel and rear wheels can also be locked for safety. The stroller is made of aluminum alloy which is a far cry from some strollers which are made of plastic. This stroller is built to last and it even has a 5 year warranty on the frame and 1 year warranty on the fabric and small parts.
BOB Revolution SE Stroller’s State of the Art Suspension System
Jogging strollers provide you with the means of staying fit while being able to take care of your baby. The thing is that most jogging strollers have horrible suspension system which makes it uncomfortable for your baby. The BOB Revolution SE stroller makes use of a state of the art suspension system with shock absorbers. This makes it less shaky and perfect for babies who often sleep at their stroller.
Multiple Recline Options
This jogging stroller also has multiple options for recline. Several parents have reported that its recline system is flexible allowing up to 30 degrees angle. This will prevent the baby’s head from falling over in case he or she sleeps while you’re out on a run.
Stylish
Another good point of this jogging stroller is that it looks good! Let’s just be honest and admit that we bought that cute and quirky diaper bag, car seat and feeding bottles just because it looks good. It also is a favorite of some celebrity moms like Jennifer Garner, Gisele Bundchen, and Alyson Hannigan. Check out the pictures below.
Breathable Fabric
The fabric of the stroller is also comfortable and breathable for babies. It is also easy to wash up and clean. The BOB Revolution stroller’s canopy is huge and so it can protect the baby against the sunlight better. This jogging stroller also has a quick two step folding system. The comprehensive instruction manual will guide you on this and on your other concerns.
The Bad
The BOB Revolution stroller’s wheels need to maintain a 30 psi pressure all the time. This is not too much of a hassle if you have an inflator and gauge so remember to buy these if you decide to buy this stroller.
This stroller is also bulky but it still manages to fit most trunks. It’s just that you probably can’t add any other equipment in that trunk if you have it there. The last criticism about this stroller is that most parents expected the cup holder and adapter to be already included on every purchase. Those and some other accessories require additional payment.
Verdict
For parents with active lifestyle, you’ll love the comfort, safety and technology that the BOB Revolution SE Single Stroller have. It beats gym membership because you get to workout and be with your baby at the same time. If you have reservations about the price, take note that this is a jogging stroller which has special features to optimize your workout routine. It has a 5 point harness, state of the art suspension mechanism and is very light to push. You’ll definitely tire out from running and not from pushing your baby. If you won’t be exercising much though, get something cheaper. Else, get the BMW or Mercedes Benz of jogging strollers- the BOB Revolution SE Single Stroller.
