But when we go away for the weekend and plan to run, we'll use it around town and it works just fine. I have a city mini for everyday use though. Much easier to load and unload into a car and a city apartment (when we lived there) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-strollers-and-one-is-a-bob-what-is-the-other#post-1434288 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 15:44:16 +0000 ktdid23 1434288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the BOB and have used it as our primary stroller for 3 years now. We take it everywhere. When the BOB seems like it's not going to work, I use the ergo &amp; babywear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-strollers-and-one-is-a-bob-what-is-the-other#post-1434162 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 15:09:38 +0000 SupernovaJ 1434162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we have the BOB revolution single stroller for heavy duty / jogging and a stokke scoot for everyday use. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-strollers-and-one-is-a-bob-what-is-the-other#post-1383348 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 09:00:50 +0000 lilyann 1383348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a BOB and a g-luxe.

It's awesome, especially in the snow!!! We have a Phil &amp; Teds smart for the mall and such. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-strollers-and-one-is-a-bob-what-is-the-other#post-1383240 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 08:13:52 +0000 Weagle 1383240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We love our BOB, and we actually cart it around in the car more than we thought we would. Our second stroller is a B-Agile. It's a fine stroller, but after pushing something as smooth as the BOB it's hard to get excited about it. And thought an umbrella stroller would be nice, we've never needed it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-strollers-and-one-is-a-bob-what-is-the-other#post-1383186 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 07:15:45 +0000 Smurfette 1383186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a BOB and I love it. But I want an umbrella stroller. It is just so huge and takes up most of the trunk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-strollers-and-one-is-a-bob-what-is-the-other#post-1383157 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 04:55:23 +0000 Cherrybee 1383157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: I love this!!! I've just ordered a new umbrella-fold and I plan to leave the old pushcahir with my inlaws (who are going to have her three days per week from 17th Feb). The inlaws are on my case about not "wasting money" and insisting that they don't need a dedicated pushchair but I'm sure as heck not carting the pushchair in and out of the car six times per week!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-strollers-and-one-is-a-bob-what-is-the-other#post-1383096 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 00:59:24 +0000 Navy_Mommy 1383096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a Duallie I plan to use for jogging and walking from home. Its way to big to bring anywhere. Then we have a Britax B Ready with a second seat to actually bring places. </p> <p>And DS2 isn't even born yet, lol, this is just the plan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-strollers-and-one-is-a-bob-what-is-the-other#post-1383076 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 00:23:37 +0000 googly-eyes 1383076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beebug: same here! Dd only napped in the BOB due to the awesome suspension!</p> <p>@looch: I guess we might have gotten lucky but I've gate checked the BOB on the two airlines we have tried. :)</p> <p>The BOB is really big... I wish I had gotten a "regular" stroller too. But right now we are doing ok with our maclaren! We've been using it since dd was about eight or nine months. I don't think it had to be a Maclaren though...a cheaper umbrella stroller probably would have done the job just fine...maybe the first years? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-strollers-and-one-is-a-bob-what-is-the-other#post-1383067 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 00:09:52 +0000 HLK208 1383067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the BOB and BOB duallie but I love both so much that I don't want to use the others as our primary strollers. We've had 3 others, City Mini, Britax B-ready and a Graco snap-and-go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-strollers-and-one-is-a-bob-what-is-the-other#post-1383061 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 23:49:55 +0000 SAHM0811 1383061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our Bob is our jogging and primary stroller. We also have a double for all-day excursions like Disneyland. Our last stroller, currently, is an umbrella (UB G-Luxe) for travel and days I don't need much storage space strolling around. I'll probably use it more than the Bob now though because my baby bump is getting bigger and it's getting uncomfortable folding and lifting the Bob into the trunk every time we use it. I would def recommend an umbrella to complement having a Bob.... Not necessary, but a nice option to have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-strollers-and-one-is-a-bob-what-is-the-other#post-1326422 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 17:29:17 +0000 LovelyPlum 1326422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raintreebee: fair! That is the reason we don't get a lot of things, so I hear you. But if you could find space for it, what a deal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-strollers-and-one-is-a-bob-what-is-the-other#post-1326341 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 17:00:32 +0000 raintreebee 1326341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: oh you tempt me. The only reason I am thinking about waiting is having to store it for six months in my nyc apartment. But the price is so good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-strollers-and-one-is-a-bob-what-is-the-other#post-1326337 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 16:57:54 +0000 littlek 1326337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the City Select as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-strollers-and-one-is-a-bob-what-is-the-other#post-1326336 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 16:57:50 +0000 LovelyPlum 1326336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raintreebee: sale ends at midnight tonight-if I were thinking about a BOB, I'd do it now! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-strollers-and-one-is-a-bob-what-is-the-other#post-1326324 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 16:54:18 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1326324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms.Badger: Unfortunately, I rarely used my BOB so that's why we ended up selling it. I bought it at first hoping it could act as my one all-around stroller, but it was so heavy and cumbersome. </p> <p>Then once my daughter started STTN, it was easier for me to wake up early to go for a run instead of using the BOB. We also didn't really have the opportunity to take it on rough terrain before #2 was born. Thankfully, it's resale value is great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-strollers-and-one-is-a-bob-what-is-the-other#post-1326277 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 16:39:16 +0000 raintreebee 1326277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a cruz and was going to hold off on buying the bob for another six months or so since I'm only 34 weeks pregnant. But this sale might push me into buying it now. Part of the reason I chose the cruz over the vista is because I knew we'd get a huge jogging stroller since we both run. So in my mind, they go well together! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-strollers-and-one-is-a-bob-what-is-the-other#post-1326270 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 16:38:11 +0000 LovelyPlum 1326270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have a BOB, but we are planning on the Cruz! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-strollers-and-one-is-a-bob-what-is-the-other#post-1326239 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 16:26:44 +0000 Thenetexan 1326239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used te snap and go (Chico) and then the GLuxe. They served as our car strollers. The Bob is for running and walking around the neighborhood. It is very cumbersome compared to the GLuxe. That said, now That my LO is almost 35 lbs, the GLuxe is not as easy to push around. It's not hard by any means, just not as smooth as the BOB. The GLuxe is great for taking up little space in my trunk at pushing through the mall or zoo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-strollers-and-one-is-a-bob-what-is-the-other#post-1326207 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 16:14:32 +0000 Ms.Badger 1326207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: How did you like this set-up? I have the B-agile now and am thinking about pulling the trigger on the BOB revolution now that it's on sale. Was previously planning on getting a fixed wheel jogger since I planned to continue to use the B-agile for everything except hikes and jogging. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-strollers-and-one-is-a-bob-what-is-the-other#post-1326016 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 15:22:24 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1326016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SupernovaJ: I was able to sell my 2-year old used BOB revolution for $280. Usually the original retail price is around $350 for the single BOB.</p> <p>@NorCalWayfarer: When we had the BOB, we used the Britax B-Agile as our other stroller. The BOB was just too bulky and heavy for my liking for everyday use. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-strollers-and-one-is-a-bob-what-is-the-other#post-1325997 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 15:18:01 +0000 SupernovaJ 1325997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>is the bob stroller actually on sale? it's on my registry and i've been eying it for months, seems like it's always been $270 on amazon.</p> <p>ETA: okay, i just revisited and it went from $334 as of last weekend to $270. eeek, maybe now is the time to buy? thanks for posting :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-strollers-and-one-is-a-bob-what-is-the-other#post-1325905 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 14:59:40 +0000 looch 1325905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: Yup, AA has a weight restriction of 20 pounds, I believe. Some airlines don't care, but not the ones I seem to fly on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-strollers-and-one-is-a-bob-what-is-the-other#post-1325890 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 14:57:24 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1325890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a stroller frame until LO could use the BOB, and then we got a Maclaren Quest to be our to-go/travel stroller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-strollers-and-one-is-a-bob-what-is-the-other#post-1325879 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 14:55:27 +0000 MamaMoose 1325879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use our Vista as our primary stroller. We use the BOB for running, long walks, and the beach.</p> <p>@looch: Southwest let us gate check the BOB. But I'm guessing different airlines have different rules. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-strollers-and-one-is-a-bob-what-is-the-other#post-1325871 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 14:54:19 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1325871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beebug: :grin: Duallie for home, old single for the cottage! Do it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-strollers-and-one-is-a-bob-what-is-the-other#post-1325855 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 14:52:15 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1325855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the Chicco Cortina Keyfit 30 snap and go set which I mostly still use as my primary stroller (combo)...the snap and go is key! Now that R is 7 months, we have been using the BOB for anything that we leave directly from our house (runs, errands in walking distance), but the Chicco is used for any car trips.</p> <p>Once she is out of the infant seat, the BOB will most likely become our main stroller....(or maybe a new umbrella? haha) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-strollers-and-one-is-a-bob-what-is-the-other#post-1325851 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 14:51:34 +0000 Beebug 1325851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: So smart! That is awesome, and a really good idea not for Grandparents for us, but for the cottage! Hmmm! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-two-strollers-and-one-is-a-bob-what-is-the-other#post-1325850 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 14:51:25 +0000 looch 1325850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you need an umbrella stroller if you're going to travel, airlines usually have restrictions on the weight of a stroller you can gate check. </p>
