I spend considerable time researching jogging strollers and had it narrowed to two that were in my price range of under $500: The BOB Revolution and the Baby Jogger Summit XC. I have a 6 month old and now that the weather is nice, it's time for us to get out and get active! This stroller won out over the BOB for three main reasons. 1. Suspension on all three wheels (BOB has on only the rear two) and 2. The hand brake! Which I learned was a MUST for me. 3. The easy fold technology--- wonderful! I also purchased separately the roll bar for her to have something to grip and a parent console (non baby jogger as it was only $10). The stroller is perfect. I have taken it on trails, paved roads, shopping, and even rollerbladed behind it. It is a little heavy and bulky for every day use but I've got an SUV so it's not much of an issue. And the weight of it is nice to have so it's sturdy and less likely to tip. This isn't your umbrella stroller after all.
