Competetor Magazine shares how jogging strollers are helping runners gain speed and strength by training with a stroller.  In fact, fitness experts are quoted saying,  ”running with a jogging stroller burns up to 20 percent more calories than running alone”.  These added benefits coupled with the fact that you’re able to get your kids outside in the fresh air - it’s a win, win! 

“It’s resistance training, which helps propel me when I’m not running with a stroller,”  one Mom says.  

“BOB – my jogging stroller, that is – turned out to be quite the running buddy.  Within months of logging miles while toting my son, I had snapped into pre-baby shape and was runing faster than I had before I’d been pregnant.”

“The true test of the Revolution Duallie came when I strapped in my super-active toddler and received an enthusiastic “yes!” when I asked if he was comfortable. Then he sat happily in the stroller for my entire run, which is very unusual. “  Excerpt from Pregnancy and Newborn’s Good Gear section.

Shortly after purchasing our stroller we purchased a second, lighter everyday stroller. Then we found out we would be moving overseas to Spain. The dilemma was, what stroller do we take? We decided on the BOB since I wanted to have the option of going running while there. We were hesitant because of how much larger the Ironman was. Also, it did not have a swiveling front wheel. But our choice was made. Over the last two years while in Europe the BOB has gone with us everywhere. It has weathered the cobblestone sidewalks in London, Paris, Venice, Florence, Rome, Sienna, Madrid, Marbella, San Sebastian, and Barcelona (where we lived). Nothing was too difficult for it to handle and it handled everything smoothly. Of course, you are all thinking that this is natural; you have created a strong sturdy stroller that you intended to hold up for serious runners (which I also did while in Spain), but what about the fact that I had to haul it up a flight of stairs at least 2 times a day for many months with a child in it. Amazing! you might think. But, what if I told you that often I would have around 50lbs of groceries in it too! This was the case.

Our stroller did suffer some stains by the time we returned back home to America. However, after a good soak in detergent and a gentle wash, the seat looks like new. Even the torrential rains in England couldn’t ruin the fabric.

This all makes for a strong reliable stroller, the envy of all our friends in Europe- who had to purchase stroller after stroller when they would wear out from the cobblestone sidewalks. But there is more, it also went on 14 flights with us and not even the baggage carriers could damage it. Nothing was broken, nothing was bent.

With all of this, add, how comfortable it was for our daughter who slept in it often while we were touring around.

Now it has come to the point where we actually need to purchase a double stroller. This is when I fully realized how great the BOB strollers (and the Ironman) really is. I was cleaning the wheels and the frame in preparation to sell the Ironman so that I can purchase my BOB Revolution Duallie (with 16″ rear wheels) and I couldn’t believe what great condition the stroller is in. It folds perfectly, it rides smoothly, it looks amazing. Your products really are the sturdiest strollers out there. Very few strollers promise and live up the the weight allowance they advertise, but the Ironman did it again and again for us.  70lbs were often hauled in the BOB and you would never know to use it.

Thank-you for making such great products, hopefully I will soon have my new BOB to enjoy running and the great outdoors again.
