That way you can use a shopping cart and not have two things to push :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stroller-question#post-896002 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 22:24:11 +0000 rrachael 896002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I live in a suburban area, too, and lots of families only use their bob ... Esp. When walking to farmer's markets. I think you'd be fine :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stroller-question#post-895230 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 11:02:32 +0000 meganc888 895230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, thank you so much for all of the responses!! I really appreciate it. I think we would definitely get a small umbrella stroller when LO is older - I see parents at our crowded market with huge strollers and know it's not for me. :)</p> <p>Thanks so much for all your insights! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stroller-question#post-894989 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 08:00:45 +0000 Ra 894989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We initially planned on using our jogging stroller as our main stroller but it was just too big and bulky to lug around. We bought a cheap Graco stroller frame to snap the car seat in for when we run errands and it is much more convenient.</p> <p>That being said, we would have survived fine with just one, but I think the smaller stroller is more convenient. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stroller-question#post-894948 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 07:06:10 +0000 Cole 894948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the Bob and I think you can make it work to have it be your only stroller. That being said, it is a bit cumbersome to get in and out of the car, especially depending on the type of car. Once your lo gets to the toddler stage they may be bothered by the fact that the seat is always a bit reclined, it makes it harder for them to see. I think for most people an umbrella stroller would do the trick at that point. Try loading it and unloading it from your car and see what you think. A snap and go might be a great idea and you can hold of on the umbrella stroller until you feel like you need it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stroller-question#post-894940 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 06:45:25 +0000 charlotte 894940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ditto on BOB + snap n go. We use the BOB on streets (ie in the neighborhood) and snap n go for inside (stores, dr visits, mall, even some restaurants). The BOB feels huge to me and there's no way I could maneuver it through most of the aisles we push the snap n go through. Plus it's heavy IMO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stroller-question#post-894936 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 06:33:27 +0000 mamabolt 894936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd probably get a snap and go in your case to use for running errands if you don't want to load the bigger Bob in and out of the car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stroller-question#post-894904 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 03:16:59 +0000 Boheme 894904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love our Bob! We don't have another stroller. We use the infant seat adaptor, and if we don't feel like getting the Bob out we wear LO in a carrier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stroller-question#post-894708 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 21:58:13 +0000 pl0508 894708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Welcome !! I also agree you prob don't need another stroller ! We take our jogging stroller everywhere ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stroller-question#post-894679 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 21:37:49 +0000 LaineysMom 894679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe just get an umbrella stroller when LO is 6 mo.? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stroller-question#post-894668 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 21:35:11 +0000 googly-eyes 894668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meganc888: We have a bob and have used it as a regular stroller but it is a bit bulky. If you don't mind, then go for it. However, it is more convenient to have a regular size stroller too. We started with a snap n go, moved on to the bob with and without the adapter, and then just went straight to an umbrella stroller (maclaren triumph.)</p> <p>PS Congrats on your pregnancy and welcome to hb! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stroller-question#post-894606 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 21:04:01 +0000 lovehoneybee 894606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: Really?

I wore her in the baby carrier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stroller-question#post-894579 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 20:46:51 +0000 IcebergMom 894579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my BOB and use it everywhere and have no trouble toting it around in and out of the car. The only downside for me I'd the smallish storage area underneath. Some people complain that the handlebar isnt adjustable for height but it fits me well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stroller-question#post-894576 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 20:45:41 +0000 Thenetexan 894576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a BOB that we use in the neighborhood and sometimes take it in the car to a trail. I find it bulky and cumbersome for everyday in and out of the car use. It stays open in our entryway. Post delivery, depending on how that goes, you may want something easy and light weight, like a snap and go. I loved our snap and go. It is not necessary though. If you are trying to save money and don't receive it as a gift, then skip it and you will make due just fine. We outgrew the snap and go and now keep an umbrella stroller in our trunk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stroller-question#post-894569 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 20:42:21 +0000 luckypenny 894569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: really? I find the bob to be HUGE heavy and hard to get in the car. Other than that, I love the BOB for jogging and walking around our neighborhood. But it is definitely not our everyday stroller </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stroller-question#post-894544 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 20:31:39 +0000 lovehoneybee 894544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi and welcome!</p> <p>I didn't get my BOB until my LO was about 6 months old but at the time I didn't realize the BOB could be used with a car seat adapter (we used a Snap n Go). Anyway, the BOB is our only stroller now, and we bring it everywhere (very easy to fold up and throw in the back of the car). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stroller-question#post-894532 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 20:22:16 +0000 sslm 894532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a BOB with the car seat adapter. We also have a small stroller that I use at the mall, that's literally the only place. I like having it, but it's not a necessity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stroller-question#post-894525 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 20:17:37 +0000 mrsmate 894525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In your situation, I don't think you need another stroller. When your LO gets bigger you may want to add an umbrella stroller, but you can decide then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stroller-question#post-894504 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 20:03:17 +0000 meganc888 894504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi! I'm new here, expecting my first in December. We're starting the intimidating task of looking at car seats and strollers, and I have a question for current parents. I'm a runner and am definitely planning to get a running stroller, likely the Bob Revolution. If I get a car seat adapter, would I still need to get another stroller? (We're likely looking at a Britax B-Safe and B-Agile combo if we do.) I live in a more suburban area than urban and drive a lot, but I will walk the neighborhood a lot and we walk around the farmers market, etc. Thanks! </p>
