Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

There is a bit of a gap between our first two kids and our most recent addition so our BOB experiences have ranged from VERY early models via hand me downs to the 2012 BOB duallie (which I have fond memories of). More recently, I've been using a different model jogging stroller and while I won't name that one, just know that the BOB is winning hands down and... it's a pretty sweet ride (seriously, we just updated our car to a third row mom-mobile and I'm more excited about this stroller than I am about the car). I'm going to talk about the improvements to the BOB but just know that my first two kids are 8 and 10 so we're talking a fairly size-able time difference between the BOB models I've used so I'm mostly comparing it to those as well as my most recent jogging stroller (anyone else not a fan of the word "jog" just me? Ok then). Here we go. Seating First of all, I LOVE that this stroller can sit all the way up. My 9 month son loves it too. To be honest, I didn't even realize how far back he was in our old stroller until we had a few comments about happy he looked to be sitting up and when I parked them side by side, I could see the huge difference in seat angles. The seat adjustment is SO much easier on this model. You just squeeze the back piece and use the straps to get the angle you are looking for. Just make sure to be aware to not bunch the seat material in front of the seat versus near the top. My first go, it looked like my 9 month old had not much head room and since he's a whopping 14% on the growth charts at the moment (ok probably for life, we're not a tall family), I knew I had to have done something wrong. The seatbelt is super easy to use. The seatbelt is a a vast improvement over all the other models I've used...so many pinched fingers (my fingers, not the baby's). There are two little pockets for snacks on the inside. I love pockets, my son loves pockets, everyone loves pockets. Canopy This is HUGE, when the canopy is fully down, only teeny tiny toes stick out and that is going to be great when it is actually sunny and I can take my son for longer runs. It has UP 50 fabric and there is a vented opening up top as well as a clear vinyl window that you can see your little passenger. Excellent for playing peekaboo. Handlebar The handlebar is adjustable! I know that is the whole deal with the flex and with this being the 3.0, I'm late to the game, but the handle is adjustable! 10. That is the amount of times, I adjusted it because I had to show everyone. My daughters, my husband, myself...sorry I was amused! I'm not tall, I have T-Rex proportioned arms and I'm a happy girl that I can drop the grip nice and low when I run. My poor shoulders were not having it with a taller bar. Pockets! Have I mentioned my love of pockets? I know I have but there are even more pockets for me to love. There is a little pocket on the back of the canopy with a zip that fit my phone (iPhone 11Pro in case you are trying to guess sizes). There are little stretch pockets in the back, there is a very generously sized basket. There is another zip pocket on the back as well. Would I still add a handlebar addition? Maybe? I run with a hydration vest so honestly, the pockets on the stroller may be enough to stock the kiddo with snacks and toys and diapers to do a long excursion. If you prefer a bottle, you may want to get one to put your drink within reach. Otherwise, it is very nicely equipped on the pocket situation. Maneuverability It is SO easy to steer. I don't think I realized how heavy my older stroller was until I took BOB for a spin and realized how much easier it was on my shoulders (carrying an almost 20 lb person around all day can leave a bit of a strain). I could actually use just one hand to guide it around and it felt so light. I had been avoiding taking the kiddo out on my longer runs because it was almost a chore and now....I cannot wait to hit the road with him. The rest of the details The brake is so much easier to use now, the front wheel is different so it no longer has that weird lever thing that you can use to pop it off (now you use an allen wrench to tighten it, which is provided). The little pin in the front to lock the front wheel to run is the same though. So final thoughts? Love it. 5/5 Would definitely recommend. Swipe Right .
