All Hail The BOB

We broke down and purchased a new stroller this weekend. Not just any old stroller mind you... but a BOB Revolution- the awesomest stroller to grace the sidewalks and shopping malls of suburbia! I truly don't know how we've lived without it for so long. It glides effortlessly over the pavement and turns on a dime. The swivel wheel in the front makes navigating tight spaces and large crowds a breeze but it can also be locked into the forward position which is safer for actually jogging. The sun canopy comes down far enough to be functional and it even has an emergency brake wrist strap in case the stroller happens to get away from you while you're running. Best of all, when it's folded, it actually fits into the back of the car with plenty of room to spare! I just can't say enough about this wonderful addition to our garage paraphernalia!

We've been looking for a BOB on Craig's list for months now- even expanding our search to other far away cities where various family members reside. Few BOBs come up for sale and the ones that do are all still very expensive. One website that we visited while researching jog strollers said that once you've shelled out the money for a BOB you keep it in the family even once your kids have grown out of it and that they're often passed down or gifted to others. So, big brother in law Brian... if you ever have little ones of your own, we've got you covered!

I was amazed to discover that the BOB even has a car seat conversion kit... had I known this, I would have purchased it in the beginning and saved myself the hassle of the travel system set that we got.

All hail the BOB!!!
