So a little bit about Bob they really do pride themselves in creating high
quality strollers to help parents get out and explore the outdoors with their
children now the Bob strollers are excellent for
running, jogging even walking but they're also great to go over sand and snow so
really you're not going to be stopped by any conditions if you are using a BOB
now they do have a few different versions but today we're going to show
you the Revolution Flex
Now before we get into that I want to talk to a little bit about jogging with
your child it's never recommended to jog with your child under six months old and
that's even if you're using a car seat with that stroller now the reason for
that is because their neck and spine are not developed enough to take the impact
of jogging so do keep that in mind I honestly would probably be comfortable
at about a year but check with your physician to see if it's appropriate
OK so some key factors to look for to make sure that you do have a jogging
stroller so three main characteristics you want to make sure that it has
increased suspension you should be able to tell by pushing down on the frame of
the stroller and it should bounce back so it should be absorbing some of that
energy also you want to have air filled tires now again that's going to absorb
some of that energy so that your child isn't feeling so much of that impact and
then the third characteristic you're looking for is a locked wheel now you
want to make sure that it's gonna lock in the front position now the reason for
that locking position is so that it requires less effort on the driver to
keep it going straight so it's going to naturally go forward so you're not
having to control as much reducing the energy that you're having to expend so
you can focus on jogging. Now you do want it to be able to lock in the out
position some strollers are actually going to lock here which is fine but the
longer your may able to make your stroller the less effort it's going to
take for you to control it
Okay so now getting into the Bob Revolution Flex specifically so you can
start using this stroller when your child is eight weeks I would personally
feel more comfortable if they could hold their head up because the recline is not
super reclined as you can see so you want to make sure that they have a
little bit of head control before using it so the weight limit on these the
single is going to be 75 pounds and the double is gonna be 100 pounds
dispersed between the two seats so it has a very high weight capacity compared
to other strollers on the market. Now you can start using your stroller with an
infant with the use of additional adapters and your car seat so you can
put in those adapters right here click in your car seat and then you can use it
with an infant so it's not useless until the child is eight weeks old which is
awesome. Now one cool thing that Bob does on their strollers now they have awesome
suspension as you can see but what they did is they make and they made it
adjustable so when your child reaches 40 pounds what you want to do is adjust the
suspension here to accept that higher weight so that's awesome you're gonna
adjust that on both sides
just like that so that it can change the kind of the
center of gravity to support that extra weight now every time you fold it is it
is going to reset so you have to redo it every time when you're using your
stroller with a child that's 40 pounds or heavier
Now like I mentioned you can get adapters and use this with a car seat
now it's compatible with with quite a few brands so that's gonna include Bob
Britax, Peg Perego, Chicco, Graco and of course Baby Jogger and so those you will
have to buy additional adapters that will go in here then you can click it
and use it as a travel system now one thing to mention on this stroller is a
little bit on the heavy side so this single weighs in at about 25 pounds and
the double weighs in at about 33 pounds so that's something to consider when
purchasing your stroller
Now one of the biggest contributors to a
smooth ride in your stroller is actually the tires and this is something that a
lot of people don't consider so you do want to consider the tread what does
that look like but also the size and the material that it's made out of so on the
Bob the rear tires are gonna measure at 16 inches and then the front
tire is gonna be twelve and a half inches
now that large size just means it's gonna roll over rocks and different
terrains so much easier now some other things that make it really nice like I
showed you before you do have that locking mechanism and that you'll just
engage with this little red knob right here and that will lock it into place
you also can remove all the tires for easy travel and to do that you'll just
do this easy release right here and then a really cool thing that Bob has done is
they've actually integrated a tracking system for your front tire
now sometimes it'll get a little off or if you're on a hill it'll kind of track
one way and so you can adjust that with this knob right here and you're just
gonna turn that to the right or left and that's going to adjust your tracking
just a little bit to make it an easier ride. Now on the rear you can also move
remove those tires in this I probably wouldn't do unless you're traveling or
you really are restricted on a trunk space so to release those tires you'll
just lift up on this metal tab in the back and slip it right off
Okay I'm going to show you some of the awesome features of this stroller to
make it a little bit more convenient for you
now it does have an adjustable handlebar so this is actually one of the highest
handlebars that I've seen so it's gonna go pretty low for your short Mama's or
dads but it's gonna go really high as you can see I'm 5'5 this is way
too high for me this would accommodate like a six and a half foot man which is
awesome but one thing to consider is it as a pivot handlebar. Now I actually
prefer a telescoping the reason for that is the furthest it's going to be from
the wheel is about here not at its highest point once you get to its
highest point it's actually closer to the axle and if you're tall you
typically have long legs which means you may actually kick the stroller I don't
know that it's a huge concern with most people but that's something that I
always consider is that there is a point where it starts to get closer to the
stroller as it gets higher or lower so just something to consider. Now it does
have a nice generous canopy UPF 50 plus so it's going to protect your child and
keep them shaded as well as a nice peekaboo window so you can keep keep an
eye on your little one. Now some people don't like the fact that
this is a clear plastic I personally don't prefer it either but
they did that because typically if you're jogging or have a jogging
stroller you're kind of hardcore and you may go out in the rain and you don't
want your little one to get wet now on the recline as I showed you before it's
just a one-hand recline which is nice you're just gonna pinch this little
adjuster pull it down and then to lift it up pull out on those two rings
Now it does have a parking brake this isn't what we would call like flip-flop
friendly just because you do have to use your feet but if you're using a jogger
most likely you're wearing tennis shoes it's gonna fall into place just like
that and then to lift it up just like that so that's just gonna park it into
place so it doesn't roll away while you're not attending it now it does have
an adjustable harness as well to adjust that you're actually going to undo this
velcro here and then move up this clip just like that if you need it above that
position move it all the way up and then velcro it again just below it so it does
only have like really two major that's going to hold it into place but you can
move that clip up and down as you need. Now there is pretty ample storage in
here so there's two side pockets this is great for like sippy cups and your
little little ones snacks you do also have an elastic mesh pocket in the back
and this is more for parents little things and then you also have a pretty
generous storage basket underneath it's not gonna be super easy to get a large
diaper bag down there but it's a lot of space. Ok now how does it fold it's
actually not too bad um so you're gonna do first lift up on these triggers right
here flip it forward and then you're gonna pull up here just like that this
is a two step and you do have to use both hands. Now if you want to lock it
into place you're gonna use this safety strap this you always want to use while
jogging so your stroller doesn't get away from you but then also it has this
red buckle and that you're gonna click down here on the rear axle just to keep
it locked into place so it's easy to lift up and put in your car now as you
can see it is quite big when folding so that's something to consider you will
want to try it out in your car to make sure it fits in your trunk before
purchasing it now to open the stroller just lift up on the handlebar and give
it a gentle shake you don't want to completely shake it out over time that
will wear down your frame so you do want to be gentle when you're opening your
stroller
Now Bob does offer some accessories to make it a little bit more convenient for
you so you can get a parent console to attach to the handlebar and that's just
gonna hold your cup your keys your wallet that sort of thing you can also
get a Sun shield or weather shield if you're gonna be out and about in
inclement weather you can get a snack tray that it will attach here for your
little one and then there's also an awesome fitness kit that you can add to
your workout routine now on this single you can also get a travel bag and those
car seat adapters that I mentioned before unfortunately you cannot get car
seat adapters for the double so that when you're just going to be able to use
with older kids
Okay here are some things to consider when deciding on a jogging stroller so
the Bob is a bit on the large side especially when folded so you do have to
consider your trunk space you also just have to consider convenience it's gonna
be a little bit larger it's also a little bit heavier than your average
stroller and that's just because they had to add in some of those great
features to divert that energy impact from your child so there is a reason for
it now it doesn't have a ton of convenience features for parents in
everyday use so it's not ideal for like a city stroller just taking around town
throwing in your car it but it is an amazing jogging stroller and that's what
we love about it the maneuverability on it is amazing even over sand and rocks
it's just gonna glide right over taking a lot less effort to push which is
awesome we also love that you can add adaptors to use that as a travel system
and use an infant car seat so that you really can use it from birth and one of
the great things about the Bob is that it has such a high weight capacity but
also it has a very generous seat as you can see it's gonna have a large seated
position it's very tall it has ample space for their feet so you really can
use this with a larger child so overall we love this stroller if you're a really
active outdoorsy family this is really going to be an awesome stroller for you
to consider
The BOB Revolution Flex does come in a plethora of colors I also did mention
some other styles so you can get the pro and with that you're gonna get a
handbrake and you can get their basic model which isn't going to have the
adjustable handle or the handbrake so those are some features to consider if
you want to save some money. Now to purchase you can come into our store or
