Cam loves our new BOB!

Dear B.O.B.,

After trying to do it all with a heavy, awkward stroller and having signed up to walk a 5k with Cameron (age 15 months) in tow, I knew I needed a different stroller. After searching the internet and chatting with sales people at local retailer, Tiny Totland, I was convinced that the B.O.B. Revolution was our solution! We have had the B.O.B. for 3 weeks now, and have already put in many miles! We recently took it on a trip to Wells, Maine (see photo) and enjoyed its versatility and smooth, comfortable ride for Cam!
Thanks B.O.B.!

In a BOB World

I am a proud owner of the Bob Revolution Duallie, and LOVE IT!  I think some people have questions about who this “Bob” guy is as I am constantly professing my love for BOB!  My husband doesn’t mind though – HE TOO LOVES BOB!

Last winter we got a huge amount of snow overnight. The whole city shut down. No one could escape the foot or so of fresh powder that had fallen on top of the existing snow! I knew that a bit of snow was no match for Bob – so I got my 2 year old bundled up and we ventured outside. We were the only people crazy enough to leave the warmth and comforts of our living room! I tucked my 2 year old (and a couple of his stuffed animals) away inside the all-weather shield and off we went!

You should have seen the look on the faces of the local restaurant owners when we showed up for lunch!!!!  I think we were the only customers they’d had all day – and to top it off – we WALKED!

I was not only amazed to have a stroller that could power through that amount of snow – but I could handle it with ease…..with ONE HAND! I was using my other hand to hold my scarf around my face. While my son had a nice comfy ride…I still had to brave the elements. But thanks to BOB – we had a very memorable outing that my son still talks about to this day!

I’ve convinced several of my friends to purchase a Bob as well — and when we find ourselves in a situation that ONLY a Bob stroller can handle – we refer to it as “being in a BOB World!”  We love having playdates that require being in a BOB WORLD!

Thanks for giving our family the freedom to explore ANYWHERE!

PS – I laugh when I am out in public with the kids in the stroller — the women always comment on how cute my kids are…the Men however always comment on my “Amazing MACHINE.”

Adjusting to new routines

Your family’s schedule is changing rapidly as the school year begins and fall settles in.  School activities, sports, social functions, and outdoor play are on your mind.  Getting back on schedule takes a bit of perseverance, as juggling to find a free moment on your school and social calendar is few and far between for your family of four. 

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, don’t forget all of those healthy habits that you’ve been building over the summer.  Exercising and staying healthy are essential to keep your family in motion and on to the next fun activity.

Each day, take a half hour or even 10 minutes to regroup and refresh.  Go for a brisk walk in your neighborhood, take your little one on a stroll in the park with BOB, ride your bike to the market and pack groceries home on your BOB YAK Trailer.  If you’re off to a soccer game, stay organized by keeping all of your sporting gear in the BOB Revolution Cargo Carrier. 

Embrace the change of pace and change of seasons. And when you need something to pick-you-up and keep you moving, BOB is here to remind you to remember this mantra …. “I am strong.  I am invincible.  I AM MOM”

So get out there, go play, go to the game, or just go …
 

Celebrity kids love the BOB!

The BOB Stroller rolls along so smooth, multitasking is a no brainer!  While getting out in nature with BOB and ignoring your cell phone is optimal, sometimes life requires double duty to get it all done. 

Not only can you return a call to your best friend across the country while going for a walk with your little one, but you can get your daily exercise and provide your child with entertainment from the outdoors.

Once you’re ready to pack away your PDA, BOB offers the Handlebar Console for storing small items.

Check out Kate Hudson’s son, Ryder Robinson being pushed in the BOB by friend Sara Foster.  Sara checks her phone while on a stroll with Ryder.

What’s your BOB™ color?

Chocolate/Blue, Mesa Orange, Black/Camel, Chocolate/Pink… BOB has the perfect combination of colors so you can BOB around in style. If you’re on the hunt for a versatile Stroller that not only turns on a dime and meets safety standards, but has modern colors at the top of its game, BOB is the perfect match for you.

Several celebs have been spotted with their favorite BOB.  Heidi Klum pushes the BOB Ironman in yellow, Sheryl Crow strolls the BOB Revolution 12″ AW in Black, Bridget Moynahan steers the BOB Revolution in Chocolate/Blue, while Kate Hudson rolls with the BOB in Navy.

We also asked our July BOB MOM of the month, Marianne, why she chose the BOB™ in Chocolate/Pink.  Here’s what she had to say…

“My Husband and I are both Graphic Designers, so we had to pick a cool looking stroller. When we found out we were expecting a girl, we got the Chocolate and Pink BOB. Then we had to get a matching car seat of course, so we managed to find a pink seat that fit. I even have a chocolate and pink breastfeeding cover. Everything revolves around our BOB!”

Here at the BOB design facility, the Mesa Orange and Navy continue to be two of the hottest colors year after year. With six Stroller lines in 13 colors you’re sure to find the perfect match for you.

The polls are out … what’s your BOB™ color?

We’ve been on the hunt for BOB Moms! Our July, BOB MOM of the month is …

Marianne of Ottawa, ON. Read below to hear about Marianne, her daughter Alexia, and why they chose (and LOVE) the Chocolate and Pink BOB Revolution.

  • Why did you choose a BOB Stroller?
    Shopping for a stroller was a pretty big deal. We had no idea there were so many choices. We chose a BOB because it had everything we were looking for. We are avid mountain bikers and have lots of riding trails near our home. We wanted a stroller that could handle those trails. Kind of like our version of mountain biking for babies. It came down to the Mountain Buggy, the Phil and Ted, and the BOB. We found the BOB was the best for us. It folds neatly, I can lift it no problem, it maneuvers really well and best of all, it’s safe for Alexia. Not to mention it looks awesome! Plus with the adapter for the car seat, we had everything we needed.
  • What’s your favorite feature on your BOB Stroller?
    My favorite feature is the way it unfolds. With one quick shake it’s up and ready to go. We love that! When the salesman showed us that feature in the store, I kept doing it just for fun!
  • How often do you and Alexia use your BOB Stroller?
    We use our BOB almost every day. If we go out, BOB comes with us. It lives in the trunk of our car so it’s always with us in case we need it.
  •  What types of activities do you use your BOB Stroller for?
    We go for walks with our BOB, go shopping, and we’re going to try a Strollercise program soon. Once Alexia is a little older, we plan on going for long walks in the forest by our house. Shopping is great with it too. Best maneuvering test… a trip to Pier 1 Imports. That is one packed store but we made it out without hitting one item. I was very impressed.
  • And finally, tell us a little about you and your family.
    Alexia is our first child and we are absolutely head over heels in love with her. She’s a great baby and we want nothing but the best for her. (My Husband) and I are both Graphic Designers, so we had to pick a cool looking stroller. When we found out we were expecting a girl, we got the Chocolate and Pink BOB. Then we had to get a matching car seat of course, so we managed to find a pink seat that fit. I even have a chocolate and pink breastfeeding cover. Everything revolves around our BOB! We love it and we recommend it to everyone… even people who don’t have kids yet!

Thanks Marianne! Enjoy the rest of your summer with your family and BOB!
