I'm not running with lo yet, but everyone says the BOB is the best. Im planning to get a used one soon. I'm pretty sure a fixed wheel is better for stability and control too.

I run with LO in a BOB and its fantastic both on a paved path and off road! Its not light, but it's also not terribly heavy. I'm petite and not especially strong and I have no trouble hauling it up and into and out of my SUV.

I ordered the BOB cup holder to go with, and its definitely useful to have a cupholder on there. I don't know that you need the official "BOB" one; another (less expensive) might fit, I'm not sure.

I use an ipod that I just clip onto my arm and that works great so I haven't had any need to purchase a specific holder for it.

The BOB does come with a little zippered pouch that's big enough for keys, cc, phone, sunglasses, etc. and keeps them secure while you run. There is also the elastic "basket" that holds extra water, sweater, etc.

We have a Joovy Zoom. Like @Weagle said, it's much cheaper and has most of the same features as the BOB. Actually, more of the add-ons come for free with the Joovy Zoom that you have to pay for with the BOB, so I'm a big fan. My only complaint about the Joovy is that it's a pretty big jogging stroller, so if you're really short, you might not like it.

I have the bob revolution se!

I just started running with it in the last month or so, and LOVE it. I have run on gravel track, paved path, paved road, and some sidewalk! I'm 5'9'' and find it the perfect height and find it super light!

I did one of my first runs with it (a long road, 4km one way, 4km back) and did half the run with the wheel swiveling, the 2nd half with the wheel fixed. When walking with it I always have it swiveling and found it hard to imagine having that front wheel locked. Personally, the difference with it locked straight was unreal!!! I found not only for ease of steering (even in my neighbourhood with turns, I just lift the front end and usually slow for corners anyways) but it also reallllly helped my form. I will never run with it swiveling ever again, I find it so much harder now when I do either forget to lock it straight or think for a moment locking it doesn't matter, lol.

My SIL has it too and never runs with the wheel locked, so I think it's personal, so if anything, give yourself the option of locking or swiveling whatever stroller you choose

@Ginger333: you can get a REALLY good price on the Bob on Amazon! That's where I got mine... Otherwise is was more expensive than I was comfortable paying for.

@skibobrown: The size/height is why we decided against it. I didn't feel like I would be safe driving that thing
