Meet Your New Favorite Hiking Stroller 

From rocky climbs to forest paths, BOB Gear jogging strollers are engineered to go wherever your adventures lead. 

1. All-Terrain, Air-Filled Tires: When you dare to explore off the beaten path, it’s not all smooth sidewalks and paved pathways. BOB Gear’s all-terrain, air-filled tires are designed to roll smoothly over rugged trails, helping to provide a relaxing ride for your little one as you navigate your favorite hikes. Our air-filled tires also help provide shock absorption, smoothing out bumps from small obstacles like roots and rocks.  

   Pro Tip: Check your tire pressure regularly and keep a pump on hand to inflate when needed. The BOB Gear Deluxe Handlebar Console comes with a tire pump.  

2.  Advanced Suspension Systems: Inspired by mountain bike designs, our suspension systems help smooth out bumpy trails while giving you more control and an easier push. The Revolution® Flex 3.0 Single and Duallie strollers include adjustable suspension with a second setting for big kids, providing comfortable rides as your child continues to grow.  

3.  Helpful Control Features: As you navigate hills, slopes, and varying elevations, you’ll need a hiking stroller that helps you stay in control. All BOB Gear jogging stroller models include a wrist strap to help prevent the stroller from rolling away. The Alterrain™ Pro and the Wayfinder™ also feature a handbrake, giving you additional control and peace of mind for downhill slopes. 

4.  Rugged Durability: When you embrace an active outdoor lifestyle, you can’t be afraid to get a little messy. BOB Gear strollers are made with high-quality materials designed to stand the test of time. With durable aluminum frames and weather-ready fabrics, BOB Gear strollers are designed to keep strolling with you through years of hikes, jogs, and daily adventures.  

Pro Tip: Clean your stroller regularly to help keep it functioning properly and looking great. Check out this video for jogging stroller cleaning tips.  

1. Child Comfort: An unhappy child can quickly turn a nice outing into a sour day for everyone. BOB Gear strollers are packed with features designed to help keep your little explorers comfy for happy family hikes. The adjustable recline lets your child lay back and relax or sit fully upright to take in the sights, and the padded seat helps make strolls more enjoyable. The Revolution Flex 3.0 (Single and Duallie) and the Alterrain Pro are designed with compression-molded seats for additional comfort.  

2.  Adaptability: If you share stroller duty with a spouse or partner during hikes, BOB Gear has you covered with an adjustable handlebar (available on all models) that adapts to caregivers of different heights. You and your hiking crew can take on trails without having to worry about strain from pushing a stroller that’s too high or low. Plus, BOB Gear handlebars feature padded foam for extra comfort.   

3.  Weather-Ready: When it comes to outdoor adventures, flexibility is key. BOB Gear strollers come prepared for sudden changes in the weather with UPF 50+, water-resistant canopies designed to help keep your child shaded and dry. For additional protection, equip your hiking stroller with a BOB Gear weather shield.  

4.  Storage: From snacks and water to sunscreen and bug spray, your hiking checklist is long and thorough. Luckily, BOB Gear strollers have plenty of storage space for all your essentials. In addition to a large cargo basket, each model includes multiple pockets for small items like your phone or keys. The Wayfinder even includes a parent cup holder, making it easy to keep your go-to water bottle close at hand.  

Rules of the Trail  

Whether you’re taking on trails at a national park or exploring local hikes, make the most of every adventure with your BOB Gear stroller by following these simple rules of the trail:  

1. Safety First: Follow all rules and instructions in your stroller user guide. Always secure your child using the adjustable 5-point harness and engage the parking brake when stopped. Do not exceed the stroller weight limit, and do not hang items from the handlebar.  

2. Take Good Care of Your Stroller: Keep your stroller clean and regularly inspect all screws and fasteners, tightening them if needed. Check the tire pressure often and inspect your stroller for damage, ordering replacement parts if necessary.  

3. Respect the Outdoors: Follow all posted rules and stick to designated paths.  

4. Be Flexible: Don’t be afraid to change your plans if the weather turns sour or if your little ones need a rest. Take frequent breaks, stay hydrated, and apply/reapply 
   sunscreen and bug spray as needed 

5. Embrace the Spirit of Adventure: An open mind and a positive attitude can go a long way. Your kids learn from your lead. When they see you explore with curiosity, confidence, and respect for the world around us, that adventurous and kind spirit grows with them.  

With the right hiking stroller, you can embrace outdoor adventures with your little ones by your side.  BOB Gear strollers are built to handle all the bumps, twists, and surprises of the trail while keeping both you and your kids comfortable and safe.
