Our Stroller Review

We give this stroller a full rating of 5 / 5 stars based on our 7 critierias of what makes a great stroller.  Read on to see why this stroller will suit your lifestyle and see 
what's included.

• Travel Convenience
• Safety
• Mobility
• Durability
• What parents will love
• What your baby will love
• What we don't love so much  

Travel convenience:  Unlike the BOB Revolution SE Jogging Stroller, the BOB Revolution CE Jogging Stroller is lighter and smaller with three 12" wheels rather than two 16" rear wheels and one 12" front wheel.  It was made for parents who would like to walk more than they run.  Smaller wheels mean easier storage and better mobility around smaller spaces, but there is the sacrifice for less shock absorption.  If you plan to use your jogging stroller around parks, the neighborhood and to run errands it'd be a perfect stroller for you.  If you would like to bring your jogging stroller to some dirt trails and do some heavy duty excercise then the original BOB Revolution SE Jogging Stroller is a better fit for you.

No more fixed wheel means more maneuverability and more access to anywhere you bring your baby to.  Whether it is the rough terrain in a park or a jogging trail, or smoother surfaces like the mall or sight seeing - you can maneuver your stroller with total ease.  A fixed wheel is too cumbersome whereas a swivel front wheel would help you take your baby to run errands in a mall or a grocery store and at the same time have the capability to go jogging for you and your baby's much needed excercise.  Just lock the 12" front wheel forward to make it safe to jog with your stroller and with the Revolution's exclusive adjustable tracking system you would never have to worry your jogging stroller swirving to the side.

When you take your BOB to travel, you'd be amazed there are only 2 steps to folding it.  It's easy and fast and does not require you to remove any wheels to store it away, check out the video above to see how easy it really is.  However, when you compare it to Baby Jogger Summit 360 Single Stroller - it only needs 1 step to fold with only 1 hand!

Safety:  We like to think of BOB as (Best Of the Best) because BOB strollers are really a superb product so none the less they would include the best harness, which is an adjustable 5-point harness with a sternum strap. Another great feature of the  BOB Revolution CE Jogging Stroller is the BOB safety strap that ties a strap to your hand to the rear axle (bottom) of the stroller. While most other jogging strollers attaches it to the handle (top) of the stroller, if you fall you will tip over the stroller causing harm to your baby (see demo at top). Whereas the  BOB Revolution CE Jogging Stroller will not tip the stroller over since the safety strap is attached to the bottom bar (between the two back wheels) of the stroller. So not only will the jogging stroller be safely attached to you, your baby will not be at any risk if you do happen to fall.

When the times come to park your jogging stroller use the rearwheel foot-activated parking brake to lock down both rear wheels.

We also recommend parents to install a front and rear lighting system (available at your local bike shop) if you intend to use this stroller at night time.

Mobility:  For a smooth ride (especially when your jogging) a stroller with a suspension system is a must. The  BOB Revolution CE Jogging Stroller has a 3" suspension and large rear wheels to go over heavy duty terrain. Whether you use the stroller for fast paced walking or a little jog you will find the stroller has a remarkable adjustable tracking system for your stroller to go straight rather than swirving to side. It is like a car that has a perfect allignment versus a car that has a damaged allignment - I think we all know how annoying that can be for drivers, it's the same for strollers!

Storage: 2 interior seat pockets, 1 large pocket on seat back and large Low Bay Cargo Basket underneath

Underseat bag for storing you and your baby's gear (upto 1 kg)

Tough, welded aluminum frame is durable yet lightweight

2-step quick folding for easy storage and travel

Durability:   The frame of the  BOB Revolution CE Jogging Stroller is made from aircraft grade welded aluminum.  It's tough and lightweight at the same time, it can last through a life time for generations to come.  As for the fabric it is water and stain resistant and the padded seat composes of closed cell foam which does not absorb liquid and odors like the open cell foam that most other strollers uses.  So not only will there be no stains on your jogging stroller, it will block out mold and smell from the materials as well.

What parents will love:  Parents who do less jogging and take more fast-paced walks will find that the  BOB Revolution CE Jogging Stroller is much more suitable for their lifestyle having to deal with smaller rear wheels.  It is quite a difference with three 12" wheels compared to the BOB Revolution SE Jogging Stroller's two 16" rear wheels and one 12" front wheel.  To store it in your car or your home closet a 4" difference in wheels can really make or break your day.  There is the sacrifice of not being able to have as smooth as a ride when jogging, but if your lifestyle composes of mostly going on paved roads and not a lot of rugged terrain and you like to save space - then this is the better stroller for you.  On paved roads you will find either stroller will give you the exact smoothness in it's mobility, but take it on a dirt trail and you will really notice a difference.  So pick this jogging stroller and really it's the only stroller you need.  There is a big level of shock suspension you will not get from a 4-wheeled stroller compared to the  BOB Revolution CE Jogging Stroller, afterall some parents still like to get some excercise even if their not jogging with their stroller - some just prefer to walk through their excercise!

What your baby will love:  Every parent that have used the BOB Revolution CE Jogging Stroller would agree that the sun canopy is the largest they have ever seen. When the hot sun is out, protection from harmful UV rays is essential to keeping your baby happy. Even when there is light rain the large canopy really does it's job keeping your baby well covered. As for the comfortable level for your baby, the seat and harness are both well padded and the seat reclines upto 70 degrees from vertical position. And what baby wouldn't love to see the great outdoors with their parent! Enjoy the fresh air and the excercise - all life's essentials to living healthy and happy.

Extra padding added to 5-point harness for comfort

Durable fabric stands up to wear and tear

Near flat reclining seat 

Three stylish colors

What we don't love so much:  Although the  BOB Revolution CE Jogging Stroller has lots of safety features some parents still would prefer a hand brake but most find that the safety strap to the hand is good enough.  Whereas the BOB Ironman Sport Utility Jogging Stroller and the BOB Sport Utility Jogging Stroller both come with a hand brake because the two jogging stroller's front wheel are fixed - made for mainly jogging, while the BOB Revolution SE Jogging Stroller has both a fixed and a swivel front wheel for going indoors and outdoors.

As for the price of the stroller many parents would expect to have an adjustable handlebar to suit most parent's height.  In fact BOB is aware of this complaint and they justify that the non-adjustable handlebar is safer for the usage of this jogging stroller.  If you still prefer a jogging stroller with an adjustable handlebar, see Bumbleride Strollers or Baby Jogger City Series Strollers.
