And then ordered every accessory and it ended up costing just as much as just the stroller would cost in Canada, lol.</p> <p>C is already not using the car seat adapter (stopped using it just before she turned 3 months) and I definitely haven't run in it yet, but she is a good and supported and secure in there facing forward. She sits up well (assisted!), but I can't imagine I will run with her in it until late Spring/Summer, aside from little spurts at a time on smooth, perfectly flat pavement mid-walk. We have it leaning back as far as it goes, which isn't that far back, and of course with how cold it's been she's packed in there pretty good with blankets too, so she is well supported with that too, even if she wasn't the harness does a great job.</p> <p>It's the only stroller we have and I take it everywhere/use it constantly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bob-stroller#post-550200 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 10:55:49 +0000 Lindsay05 550200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a BOB revolution and havent used it since LO was ~4 months old because we now have 4 feet of snow. But we had her sitting in it on rough gravel roads and she handled it just fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bob-stroller#post-550178 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 10:48:41 +0000 CarrieLouWho 550178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Amazon increased the price slightly today - Now the Revolution SE is $319 - $325. Why do they jumble the prices around so much!!! Ohhhh Amazon... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bob-stroller#post-549499 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 18:57:18 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 549499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CarrieLouWho: they've actually been that price for at least a month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bob-stroller#post-549363 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 17:03:42 +0000 CarrieLouWho 549363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone know how long the sale through Amazon is going? I'm assuming it'll be short... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bob-stroller#post-549356 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 16:55:57 +0000 HLK208 549356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CarrieLouWho: that's what I'm doing! All the doubles are $350-500 on CL but $450 on amazon brand new.</p> <p>We did the same as @MerryC. The ride was really smooth so I walked on a rubber track when DS was 3.5 months. We started jogging at 5 months. It really depends on the baby. My son was more solid and strong, whereas my 8 month old daughter still hasn't gone in the BOB for running, just walks...her head control isn't as great and all over she isn't as strong. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bob-stroller#post-549347 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 16:47:03 +0000 twinmama 549347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CarrieLouWho: dooooooo it :) </p> <p>but in all honesty, i really love ours, and with a relatively small price difference, i'd rather get it new so you have the manufacturer's warranty and can get the color you want. i paid extra to get the orange for best visibility, and to get it to my house faster since we were having a good stretch of weather where i could use it in the late fall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bob-stroller#post-549277 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 16:19:44 +0000 CarrieLouWho 549277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MerryC &amp; @MrsBells... now I'm rethinking it! Should I splurge and just get it new off Amazon (no shipping since it's prime eligible!) and I could get the color I want!<br /> Hmmmmmmmm!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bob-stroller#post-549270 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 16:17:22 +0000 CarrieLouWho 549270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I didn't mention that I'm no hardcore athlete :o) Just looking to be more active while fitting in time with DD at the same time! </p> <p>Thanks @MerryC - glad to hear it worked at those ages for you. And the advice of doing a few trial runs is great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bob-stroller#post-549268 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 16:14:51 +0000 Mrsbells 549268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CarrieLouWho: If its $313 on amazon, I would rather get it from amazon because that comes with a brand new warranty. I would only but it used if I could save atleast 100 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bob-stroller#post-549264 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 16:12:55 +0000 twinmama 549264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CarrieLouWho: yes! the resale is part of why i splurged and got the revolution new. i figure i can get at least half of it back when they outgrow it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bob-stroller#post-549262 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 16:12:02 +0000 twinmama 549262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a double BOB revolution. I used it for walks starting around 3.5 months, and jogging just recently at 6 months (road and sidewalk). My seats recline pretty far and with all the padding and the 5 point harness, they aren't going anywhere. Before going on a full run, I did some short stretches of jogging and watched their heads through the window and did not see any worrisome jostling. I find the suspension really smooth, and they definitely got bumped around more on some sidewalks in their double snapngo with the hard wheels! </p> <p>I definitely wouldn't run offroad, or more than 30 min or so with it right now. But have taken them on an hour walk in mixed terrain. My kids are 17.5 lbs and sitting up unassisted at 6 months. I think the official jogging recommend from BOB is 8 months, and I would probably be more comfortable using it to full capacity around then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bob-stroller#post-549259 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 16:11:15 +0000 CarrieLouWho 549259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipgloss - thanks! Glad to know that 3 strollers doesn't sound crazy. I also don't consider the snap n' go a real stroller!</p> <p>@Mrs. YoYo, she actually started at $275 and I asked if she would take $250 so I don't know that she'll go down much more... </p> <p>Bob's resale really well though don't they? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bob-stroller#post-549215 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 15:50:53 +0000 CarrieLouWho 549215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here's the recall info - looks like it applies if you use the infant carseat adapter (which we won't. but thought I'd share!)</p> <p><a href="http://www.cpsc.gov/en/Recalls/2012/Jogging-Strollers-Recalled-by-BOB-Trailers-Due-to-Choking-Hazard/" rel="nofollow">http://www.cpsc.gov/en/Recalls/2012/Jogging-Strollers-Recalled-by-BOB-Trailers-Due-to-Choking-Hazard/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bob-stroller#post-549195 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 15:45:06 +0000 CarrieLouWho 549195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks @AutumnLove - We go for a 4 month check up next week, so I'll check with the dr. then as well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bob-stroller#post-549192 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 15:44:19 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 549192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would probably wait a couple more months to use it ... the seat is fairly upright for a baby that young, even if head control is good. Price seems decent but not amazing -- maybe you can talk her down a bit more? And we had 3 strollers, too -- the frame, a Maclaren for compact travel, and a BOB for jogging/fitness walking. They all served their different purposes well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bob-stroller#post-549173 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 15:39:00 +0000 MsLipGloss 549173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Even though she has good head control, because my LO is on the smaller side (she was 13 pounds 4 oz at her 4 month checkup), I will probably wait until 8 or 9 months. I may put her in a normal stroller seat before then (I have the B-Ready), but I wouldn't be comortable with her in a jogging stroller until she is much bigger/stronger.</p> <p>FWIW, I don't think 3 strollers is overkill, especially when I don't consider a Snap-N-Go frame a *stroller*. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bob-stroller#post-549165 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 15:36:46 +0000 littlek 549165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just check for recalls, there was a recall on BOB strollers not long ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bob-stroller#post-549160 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 15:35:55 +0000 autumnlove 549160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started at 7 months after we got the green light from LO's Dr. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bob-stroller#post-549143 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 15:30:52 +0000 CarrieLouWho 549143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipgloss - do you think your LO will be ready at 6 months? Or do you think you would wait even longer? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bob-stroller#post-549119 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 15:23:42 +0000 MsLipGloss 549119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CarrieLouWho: I would not put my LO in a jogging stroller at 4 months . . . head control while being held/ playing is different from head control in a moving stroller over uneven terrain. (My LO is 5 months.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bob-stroller#post-549085 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 15:14:04 +0000 CarrieLouWho 549085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been watching Craigslist for Bob Strollers for a while and thought I'd ask a few questions to the Hive...</p> <p>1. LO is 4 months old, sits up well assisted and has great head control. I know the recommendation is 6 months before using a jogging stroller, but when did you start using yours?<br /> I would be using for walks and jogs on roads/sidewalks. Nothing heavy duty.</p> <p>2. I found a 2011 Bob Revolution SE in good/great condition with a handlebar console included. She is asking $250 - is that a good deal? They're on Amazon right now for $313. In checking Craigslist it looks like Bobs in general are selling from $200-$300, so it's falling in the middle. </p> <p>3. I have the City Mini already, but haven't used yet because we're still using the snap frame with the infant seat. Is it overkill to have 3 strollers... even though 1 will be outgrown soon. </p> <p>TIA! </p>
