The Bob se handles well even on packed snow, as long as your sidewalks get plowed! We used it through the winter last year (obviously not in snow storms, but once things were plowed). I highly recommend getting the weather shield and some kind of bunting designed for strollers (we were given a really warm down one from llbean). The combination allowed us to take her outside all last winter, regardless of the temps (we were out in 10 degree Weather and she stayed cozy!). Now that she is a toddler she is less than thrilled be the weather shield, but I was so glad we decided to get it last winter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bob-revolution-1#post-1993492 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 12:23:50 +0000 Astro Bee 1993492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Silva: Thanks for your feedback. The wheel adjustment is a good feature to have, especially given how expensive the stroller is to begin with. And thanks, also, for your comment on how old your baby was when you started jogging. 6 months seems like the standard, which will put me into early October. I might be able to run for a few weeks before it gets too cold, or we get snow (I live in Canada)! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bob-revolution-1#post-1993470 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 11:52:08 +0000 Silva 1993470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Astro Bee: yes, there is a small red knob in the front wheel. You have to play with it/test it, but we regularly adjust the alignment. We switch back and forth between fixed (for jogging) and swivel for walking pretty often. It's a great stroller! Oh, and I saw in your other thread a question about ages....I had an April baby, we used the car seat attachment for the first 4 months or so, then put her in the regular seat but with a small support pillow (she'd always fall asleep, and it helped keep her neck from slouching in weird ways...plus she was on the small side). I didn't jog with it until she was 6 months old and could sit up by herself. And even then I was pretty cautious about any bumps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bob-revolution-1#post-1993466 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 11:45:09 +0000 Astro Bee 1993466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Avivoca: Can the BOB be adjusted somehow to it runs straight? Kind of like a wheel alignment on a car? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bob-revolution-1#post-1966970 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 09:00:06 +0000 avivoca 1966970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HazelEyes: It's not hard to turn, you just lean on the handlebars to lift the front wheel and turn that way. I have issues with my wheel staying true in the fixed position and my Bob lists to the right. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bob-revolution-1#post-1966941 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 08:28:03 +0000 MamaCate 1966941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HazelEyes: I am 6' and we have a Bob SE and love it. No complaints about the handlebar height for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bob-revolution-1#post-1966931 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 08:15:01 +0000 HazelEyes 1966931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: Do you find that its hard to turn, or are you mostly going straight on your runs? </p> <p>@IcebergMom: Do you mind if I ask how tall? I'm 5'7" but my husband is almost 6'. I wonder if the adjustable will be a good idea... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bob-revolution-1#post-1964465 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 12:38:13 +0000 IcebergMom 1964465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>SE here. I never put mine in fixed position. I'm tall and the fixed handlebar position feels comfortable for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bob-revolution-1#post-1964455 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 12:21:26 +0000 avivoca 1964455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you're going to be running on any kind of trail, get the SE. I've never heard of the Flex before. I also kind of wish I hadn't gotten a revolution because I mainly use it in fixed wheel mode. If I would have known that, I would have gotten one that is always fixed like the Ironman. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bob-revolution-1#post-1964435 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 11:54:01 +0000 HazelEyes 1964435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BandDmommy: @Charm54: ok great! Thanks. Seems like everyone loves the SE. </p> <p>Anyone have the Flex? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bob-revolution-1#post-1964429 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 11:44:02 +0000 Charm54 1964429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the SE and definitely would pick that over the CE. We use ours for trails, running, the beach, and the snow... We love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bob-revolution-1#post-1964413 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 11:21:49 +0000 BandDmommy 1964413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the SE and love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bob-revolution-1#post-1964377 Sun, 30 Nov 2014 10:38:14 +0000 HazelEyes 1964377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been drooling over the Bob for months, and DH finally said lets bite the bullet and get one with the holiday sales happening. </p> <p>So help me, is the only difference between the Revolution SE and the Flex the adjustable handle?</p> <p>Does anyone prefer the CE over the SE?</p> <p>I live in the suburbs, so it would be for both DH and I to talk DS on walks and runs on sidewalks and trails. </p>
