So for better or for worse, I have another stroller. It's not that any of my other ones weren't adequate... it's not that my child uses one more than any other time in her life, probably less as she's 3 now. However, I just couldn't bring myself to say no to the pink and chocolate BOB Revolution... and you know how I love pink and chocolate...
We actually use it a ton because it's super easy for her to get in and out of, and it's amazing on any terrain. Unlike my Bugaboo, it is fantastic on the sand, on cobbles, on a hill, on gravel... and of course, it's a JOGGING stroller. No, I don't run on pavement. I feel like an idiot if I'm actually running publicly, and actually fear for my own incarceration from the insult it would cause to those exposed.
I love the cup holders, I love the fact that the foot 'hump' is strategically set so that when Lillian has one of her little buddies along, she can sit on the hump and it's practically a double stroller that is still easy to navigate - and we're talking two 35 pound kids. It is way more stable on its wheels than any of my other strollers, which of course I love now that my kid is in and out of it constantly and I still shop as much as I did 3 years ago....
These things being said, I'm pretty disappointed by the storage basket now that it's winter and her coat hardly fits down there, let alone hers and mine. While it is easy to swing open and fold up, it doesn't lock closed, which means you are forced to take an awkward stance to pick it up and hoist its 27 pound frame into the car to keep it from flying open and killing you. If I had two, I thought that the double BOB would be awesome, until I read that one was 48 pounds.... I'm a strong chick but that just sounds exhausting and excessive to me...
Either way, love this one, and it's all we've touched in the 5 months we've had it -don't think it's going to convince me to start running, though...
