Bob owners - help! I don't know what I'm doing wrong! I have the Revolution with an infant insert. I can do the first fold with the release things by the handlebar. BUT then the red thing under the seat does nothing! I pull up and nothing happens? Any idea what I'm doing wrong? My husband put it together and I'm wondering if something is in the wrong place ?
-
Step on the break bar and pull the red handle simultaneously! It's hard at first, DH had to show me.
-
Does "infant insert" mean that squiggly C-shaped bar + the styrofoam block? If so, I don't think it does fold with the bar attached, or at least, I never figured out how to do it. Once the bar was out, it's easy, you release those red locks on either side of the handlebar. (My BOB Rev is almost 3 years old, though, so maybe something has changed?)
-
@googly-eyes: you are the woman. I totally just did it after trying 1000x unsuccessfully before.
-
When you pull the "pull handle" (not sure what the technical term is), you really need to yank UP quickly and hard. It doesn't fold up well if you just pull that, you need to do it quickly. Hope this makes sense, and helps!
Also, do you have the infant carrier insert bar still on the BOB? You'll need to take that out/off before you can fold it completely.

@honeybear: oh geez, I had my Ergo infant insert on the brain. Too. Much. Gear! I mean the car seat adaptor, and its this one: http://www.amazon.com/Infant-Adapter-Chicco-Single-Strollers/dp/B004FN11ME/ref=sr_1_1?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1366153037&sr=1-1&keywords=bob+chicco

@charlotte - So glad you asked this question! I haven't been able to figure that out yet either
Going to try after our afternoon walk, hope it works!
-
@charlotte: Ahh, well that answers it! My adapter was a different model.
-
@charlotte: @honeybear: I think I read somewhere that you shouldn't store it for too long folded with the adapter though!
-
I don't think it matters, you should still be able to fold it regardless of the adapter.
Did you press the two buttons on each side simultaneously? That was the problem we had, and then you can fold it down.
-
@Freckles: I think I needed to step on the bar and pull with more force..I was just lifting up like I would pick up a bag or something..
-
@charlotte: Ah okay. I only thought of the buttons because that was what caused me all this grief when folding down the stroller. It drove me crazy!! I step down on the bar, and pull it at the same time.
-
@Freckles: did you ever google "how to fold bob"? their easy fold video was driving me nuts. its like I KNOW the skinny smiling lady is just pressing a few buttons but ITS NOT WORKING FOR ME!!
haha. thanks all for your help.
Going to try after our afternoon walk, hope it works!
