BOB Revolution Flex Stroller Review

The BOB Revolution Flex Stroller is the perfect stroller for the active family. If you are in the market for a jogging stroller that can comfortably accommodate parents of all heights, then this is the stroller for you.

With a height adjustable, 9 position, padded handlebar, this stroller creates a perfect fit for any parent. The latest model also rises the handlebar by a couple of inches making this an even more perfect option for taller parents.

The revolutionary swiveling front wheel allows for superior maneuverability. Lock the wheel in place, and now you have added stability while walking or jogging on rough terrain. With state-of-the-art suspension your little ones will have a smooth ride on every adventure. Featuring an adjustable suspension system, the BOB Revolution Flex provides an exceptionally smooth ride. Babies under 8 weeks old can travel in the stroller using the BOB Infant Car Seat Adapter and compatible infant car seat. BOB recommends babies be at least 8 months old before jogging or off road use.

The adjustable canopy protects your little one from the elements while allowing you to keep a close eye on them through the large viewing windows. The latest model also has a more compact canopy which works even better for taller kids so you will be able to use your stroller for longer. The easy, two-step folding, lightweight frame makes for convenient transport and storage.

For added safety, you can engage a rear-wheel brake system with your foot. Busy families require lots of storage when they are out and about. The Revolution is designed with two seat-back pockets, four interior pockets and a hanging basket underneath for storing everything from bottles and diapers to purchases at the store – which is even larger in the latest model.

This stroller is best suited for families who enjoy being active and bringing baby along for the ride.

Pros

The BOB Revolution Flex Stroller has super easy maneuverability, even when loaded up with the baby and all his gear. I was amazed at how easy it is to turn. The ride is exceptionally smooth.

My son sleeps comfortably thanks to the reclining seat and the suspension system that absorbs all the shock. The front lockable/swivel wheel is conducive for jogging as well as rough terrain. The canopy keeps the sun out of my little ones eyes, and I love that I can check on him through the peekaboo window.

The stroller offers plenty of storage. I was able to take along a diaper bag, water bottle, and snacks. The storage basket is a decent size, especially on the new model, and the pouch on the back of the seat is great for diapers and receiving blankets.

Cons

The stroller is bulky when folded.  Also, I wish there were more accessories included. A cup holder can be purchased separately.
