BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Jogging Stroller, Graphite Black [Old Version]

I am a stroller aficionado, and I enjoy having the right stroller for the job. I purchased a Single BOB Revolution for my first child a few years ago, then the Duallie Pro when I had my second child, and now this Single Flex 3. My third child has received a score of 0 out of 10. We've also had a Baby Jogger, UppaBaby, and Maclaren stroller, but BOB is my favorite to use and prefer for any outdoor activity. br>br>Unboxing and setup are the first steps. Assembling this is a piece of cake. It took me about 10 minutes to unbox and put together. Simply open it up, remove the plastic, unfold the stroller, pop on the back wheels, slide the axle through the front wheel, and tighten the nut. br>br>How to fold: To fold the top half down, squeeze the two levers on the handle's underside. The stroller will fully collapse if you pull up on the red semicircle. If you want, you can use the red buckle to keep it in place. Pull up on the handle bar until it clicks into place to unfold it. br>br>This has a 75-pound weight capacity! However, it appears that you will reach your maximum height much sooner. My four-year-old, who stands 40 inches tall, was pushed up against the top of the stroller. It seemed more comfortable for her head to lean the seat back slightly than it did when she was fully upright. I believe she could use this stroller for a little longer, but the 44" height limit listed on BOB's website appears to be exaggerated. (Because her head isn't yet skimming the top of the stroller, the duallie must sit lower on the frame. ) ) My 2. This was perfect for a 5-year-old. br>br>Quality is excellent. It's easy to clean the material. I've never had a problem with the tires before. They're my go-to travel stroller because they're so sturdy, and they've passed gate checks with flying colors. The underneath storage basket isn't the biggest or most accessible of any stroller I've used, but it's adequate. br>br>This is the third of a three-part series. There is no hand brake on the 0 Flex. (The Revolution Pro is the same stroller as the Revolution, but it has a handbrake. ) —— I run with my BOBs. I go for a 4-hour walk with my duallie. My kids are relaxed and happy after 7 miles of running. I live in a moderately hilly area, and with a 2- and 4-year-old in the duallie (each weighing about 100 pounds), the hand brake is a must, which is why I chose the Pro Duallie. I use the hand brake on the duallie even for short walks around the neighborhood. Even when walking or running with my single BOB, I never wished for a hand brake, even when the hills were present. When deciding between models, take into account how hilly your area is and how much weight your stroller will carry. Differences among the three. br>br> Flexibility: 0 and Flexibility: Flexibility: Flexibility: Flexibility: Flexibility: They appeared insignificant at first, and I wasn't sure if the price difference was justified. After spending more time with the stroller, I can see how much it has improved. The canopy, for starters, now has a magnetic closure, which I have on another stroller and find to be fantastic and simple to use. The canopy is now ventilated as well. The ventilation in the top portion of the seat back appears to have improved as well, and air will flow in even when the seat is fully upright. The ventilation on our older single BOB was set up so that baby only got some air flow if the seat was fully reclined. It'll be much cooler in there now, thanks to improved back ventilation and added canopy ventilation, regardless of seat incline; second, there are three more pockets, two of which have zippers. On the seat back, there is a zippered pocket, and on the flap hanging down where the canopy and handle bar meet, there is another zippered pocket. If you don't have the console, this is a great place to keep your phone and keys if you don't have one. These are also useful for keeping things from falling out of the stroller if you plan on folding it frequently. For example, I now keep dog waste bags in the mesh pocket of my duallie and a key in the hook and loop section of the console, but these items frequently fall out when I fold the stroller. On this 3, the material is more reflective and water resistant. The seat padding is supposedly improved as well, but I haven't had the opportunity to sit in either. The third is the most important. The front wheel on the 0 is bolted, whereas the older model had a quick release. In terms of accessories, br>br> The BOB Handlebar Console with Tire Pump is a fantastic piece of equipment. (At the moment, the bundle option includes this for $20 more than the stroller alone, making it a good deal. ) I rotate my tires every two months or so, and the rest of the console is very roomy and well-made. My liter-sized Camelbak bottle fits in the large cup holders, and the middle section is secure enough to hold my phone or keys while running. I also bought an infant car seat adapter for my Chicco Keyfit and used it with my first child all the time. It also made outings easier because the car seat could be clicked into the stroller without having to worry about moving a sleeping baby into or out of the main stroller. I already had the snack tray for my single BOB, but I didn't buy it for the duallie. It was a nice touch, but there's so much space in the seat that I found it just as convenient to stow a water bottle in one of the side pockets and a snack cup in the other. So, simply because of the tray's price, I would probably not recommend it. Finally, I put my duallie through its paces with the weather shield. I wanted to run in cooler weather, but I was hesitant to do so below 55 degrees. For runs in temperatures ranging from 40 to 55 degrees, the weather shield kept my kids warm. All of the BOB accessories I've used have been well-made and straightforward to operate. br>br>Overall, I am a huge fan of these strollers. They're silky smooth, and pushing and maneuvering them is a breeze. They glide over sidewalk cracks, curbs, grass, and dirt with ease, making them ideal for any outdoor activity. Walking, running, and visits to the zoo or park are all great ways to get some exercise. They're my go-to stroller, and they're a lot of fun to use. They've also held up well in the face of travel and frequent use. I can't say enough about how much I like them.

For our newborn, we had a travel system from another company, but as time went on, I realized it wasn't the best stroller to have, especially if you enjoy being outside. I wanted a jogging stroller that wasn't just black or grey. The sedona orange one was a lot more expensive than the black one, but I wanted to love the stroller, so I went ahead and bought it. This makes me swoon. It glides so smoothly that you only need to touch it to move it. Walking and jogging are very simple. I was worried it wouldn't fit in the trunk of my 2008 Toyota Camry, but it actually fit better than the Graco stroller, which is much smaller! I couldn't contain my joy. The canopy that completely blocks the sun from shining into my baby's eyes was also a huge hit with her. I would strongly advise!.

The magnetic snap on the hood's top is SO WEAK that it blows the flap cover up into the air with every gust of wind. It takes off and flies all over! This is what they released as the "upgraded" Bob Flex, and it irritates me to no end. I'm coming back.

We love the stroller it's amazing it's so easy to maneuver and rides super smooth and super comfortable my baby falls asleep in it every time but the inner tubes in the tires stink they all popped within the first week we used it which was very upsetting especially since we paid for a quality stroller we ended up taking it to a bicycle shop and got thorn proof inner tubes and haven't had a problem with it since I would give it 5 stars if it weren't for the inner tubes I would.

It arrived in less than a week after I placed my order, which is almost unheard of on an island in Alaska. It went together very quickly. All that was left to do was attach the wheels. Folding and unfolding it is also very simple. It's so adaptable, which I like. While you're pushing, you can change the bar's night. The sun cover can be adjusted in several positions and has a peek-through window on top, and the seat for your child can be sat upright or reclined completely. Reclining the seat and sitting it up is a simple puppy system. When the stroller is in motion, it is very quiet. There are no creaky stroller noises. It can easily push through woods and grass as well as concrete. This stroller, on the other hand, is truly amazing. It was well worth the money. It would have been nice if it came with a cup holder, but you have to buy that separately. Make a purchase. This stroller is available for purchase.

For the past few weeks, I've been using my Bob. The stroller is fantastic! It has a great shock system, so I can take my six-month-old running and he won't have any trouble going over large bumps or crossing the street from the sidewalk. The extra-large canopy is a favorite feature of mine. The canopy extends far enough in the front to ensure that the sun never bothers you! The only design flaw I've discovered with the stroller is that, due to its magnetic nature, the clear plastic "window" on the top of the canopy will occasionally blow open on a particularly windy day. However - Only on a very windy day, if the wind catches it just right, does this happen. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase. My only complaint is that the handle was slightly damaged when it arrived. Every time I use the stroller, I can feel a hole in the foam that lines the handlebar - because it's right where your hands are supposed to be. I wasn't going to send it back because it wasn't a major issue, but it was disappointing given the stroller's high price.
