I don’t think it’s that huge when folded, but it is pretty heavy. It’s not a pain to lift to get it in/out of a car, but I wouldn’t want to lug it up stairs, or even to and from an elevator every day to use it.</p> <p>I love our BOB and it is really great for running, but we do store it in our garage so space isn’t an issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-bob-some-questions#post-502635 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 09:25:57 +0000 Weagle 502635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a Revolution and it is giant when folded. We only use it for walks/runs around the neighborhood and keep it in our garage. But it's a fantastic stroller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-bob-some-questions#post-502588 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 09:00:34 +0000 MamaMoose 502588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: sadly I just don't think the BOB is well suited to city living unless you're super rich and have a massive apartment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-bob-some-questions#post-502585 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 08:58:43 +0000 littlek 502585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the BOB Revolution and I love it. We also got the car seat adaptor, so I have been using it ever since we got it. As @MamaMoose said, it's HUGE when folded. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-bob-some-questions#post-502565 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 08:43:24 +0000 hilsy85 502565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: gahhh :( That's what I'm afraid of, we really have SUCH limited storage that I have no idea where we would put it if it doesn't fold up small. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-bob-some-questions#post-502564 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 08:42:24 +0000 MamaMoose 502564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: we have the revolution and I love it for long walks on rougher terrain. And as soon as LO has better head control (doc said at 3 months) then I'll start running with her in there. We have the adaptor for her car seat to fit. Honestly though... It's huge even when folded. I don't know that I would want one if I didn't have a garage to keep it in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-bob-some-questions#post-502558 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 08:37:51 +0000 kjn 502558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: we also have the UB vista for walks. I think the ironman is perfect for a running stroller and I went with it over the revolution because it was cheaper. Also, the wheels on the revolution are a bit bigger I think which I thought would be better for running. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-bob-some-questions#post-502550 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 08:34:24 +0000 hilsy85 502550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kjn: thank you! We have another stroller (just updated my post) so this would mainly be for runs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-bob-some-questions#post-502548 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 08:33:08 +0000 kjn 502548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the ironman. I think the big difference is the ironman has a fixed front wheel that doesn't swivel. It's great for running but not great for walking. The revolution has a front wheel that can be locked when using for running but can swivel for walks. If it's going to be your only stroller definitely get the revolution. I use my ironman only for running and love it. </p> <p>I started using it as soon as my son had good head control - I think between three and four months. </p> <p>Folded it's fairly large but would still fit easily in the trunk of my Mazda 3. </p> <p>Not sure about used prices because I bought mine new. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-bob-some-questions#post-502543 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 08:28:01 +0000 hilsy85 502543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What's the difference between the Ironman and the Revolution, and which do you prefer? </p> <p>When they're folded, how much space would you say they take up? </p> <p>When did you start using your Bob with LO? </p> <p>Also, what would you say a good price for a second hand one is? I'm seeing prices ranging from $165 to $250. </p> <p>Thanks ladies :)<br /> ETA that we already have an every day stroller (UB vista) that's great for walks, so this would primarily be for runs. </p>
