BOB Revolution 12″ Aluminum Wheel Jogging Stroller Review

The Bob Revolution 12” Aluminum Wheel Jogging Stroller is one of the best-selling jogging strollers available. But what do people actually get when they purchase this stroller?

Here are some of the highlighted features for the BOB Revolution 12" Aluminum Wheel Stroller:

  • Swiveling Front wheel design
  • 12” front and back wheels
  • State  of the art suspension system
  • Welded frame with durable fabric
  • Two step, fold-up design

What I like about the Bob Revolution Jogging Stroller:

  • Compact and easy to maneuver

I think that one of the best things about the BOB Revolution 12" Aluminum Wheel Stroller is that it is highly compact. This is good for both storage and maneuvering purposes.

Because the BOB Revolution 12" Aluminum Wheel Stroller only uses the smaller 12” front and back wheels (as compared to the usual 16” wheels of others) it takes up less space once you fold it. It can fit even  in the small trunks of four door sedans.

The smaller construction of the BOB Revolution 12" Aluminum Wheel Jogging Stroller also means that you can get through narrower spaces easily.

  • Lightweight Stroller

The lightweight construction of the BOB Revolution 12" Aluminum Wheel Stroller makes it easy for both using it and taking it around with you.

The entire frame of the BOB Revolution 12" Aluminum Wheel Stroller is made from such durable but light materials that you can push it with minimal force.

Once folded, the BOB Revolution 12" Aluminum Wheel Stroller packs in at a light 22 pounds that makes it easy to take along with you on your trips with your baby.

  • Large Sunshade

My common complaint about the other strollers that I have tried is that the sunshade does not provide adequate cover for my child.

Fortunately, the sunshade on the BOB Revolution 12" Aluminum Wheel Stroller is more than enough to cover my baby from the harsh environment.

  • Versatile

Swivel wheels on a stroller would mean that you would be able to turn easily and go around tight spaces more comfortably. However, it could also mean a loss in control when going in a straight line or the “grocery cart wiggle”.  You could lock it but some swivel wheel strollers are not good when you set them on the locked position.

That’s why I like the fact that the BOB Revolution 12" Aluminum Wheel Stroller is able to maintain control even when you set it on the locked position.

I did not have trouble passing through smooth roads or cracked pavements with the BOB Revolution 12" Aluminum Wheel Stroller.

What I don’t like about the product:

  • Small storage space underneath

Perhaps this is the only thing that I do not like about the BOB Revolution 12" Aluminum Wheel Stroller.

I find that the storage basket underneath it is insufficient for putting my packages, and other items that I might want to take along with me and my child during our jogging trip.

I would have preferred a larger storage basket underneath the carriage.

Bottom Line:

I love the BOB Revolution 12" Aluminum Wheel Jogging Stroller. I think that it is a great value for anyone who is looking for an easy to use stroller for their babies.

It is versatile, compact, lightweight, and durable enough, that it could definitely fulfill all your strolling needs.
