BOB Revolution 12 AW - a Review

By Linda Jenkins

The BOB Revolution 12 AW (aluminum wheel) stroller is similar to the original BOB Revolution. The newest in this family of strollers sports three 12 aluminum wheels for better handling. Designed for those who want to do more walking than running, this stroller is lighter and folds more compactly than the previous one.

The Revolution 12 stroller is much easier to steer and is tuned to the needs of those living in suburbia. The older version did not have the wheel configuration that is available on this stroller. The advantages of the different configuration make it absorb shock more easily and this in turn makes steering much easier.

This stroller really is very light which makes it so easy to push and carry. The welded aluminum frame is strong and can handle everyday bumps pretty well. The fabric is washable which is something that moms and dads really like and comes in handy with today's fast paced life.

Even if this version of the BOB is made mainly for walking you can still take it jogging. All you have to do is lock the front swivel wheel and off you go. The storage underneath is great for holding lunch supplies. Another storage pocket in the back will hold your wallet, drivers license or cell phone. An optional BOB car seat adapter which works with several of the name brand car seats can be attached so that the Revolution is easily transformed to be car seat compatible. You can put your baby in the seat and you are ready to go anywhere.

The BOB Revolution 12" AW is really great. It is easy to push, folds compactly, and weighs little. The front swivel wheel that can be locked is a feature that many parents enjoy and babies love this stroller as well.

The stroller comes in navy, black, and coffee/chocolate. If you have 2 children, you should get the BOB Revolution Duallie 12" AW which is a double stroller. Both the single and double strollers come with 5 point harnesses with extra padding to make your kids comfortable. The tires can be used for off-road walking and for walking around in malls. The seat recline is great for when you kids get tired and want to rest.

In short, this stroller is perfect for someone who wants a stroller for light jogging and walking in the city. If you get it, you are likely to use it for a long time.
