Bob Ironman Stroller Review
I don't have much negative to say about this stroller. It is just AWESOME. As you can see, I gave it an A because of how well made it is. I use this stroller all the time with my son and so I can personally say, it's better than I evenn thought it would be and it's so easy to use. I posted a video on youtube about it as well which goes over the key features in the stroller. here is the link: YOU TUBE BOB STROLLER REVIEW My main reason for loving this stroller is because it's so well made. Everything on this stroller is quality. It's also still lightweight which makes it easy for on the go travel. It folds up reasonably compact and will fit into a small trunk (it's still a full size stroller but it fits into the back of my prius fine). The bob stroller has a reasonable size basket. It's not huge but fits medium size diaper bags. The only big con with this stroller is that because it's so lightweight, you can't put hang heavy diaper bags or put lots of weight on the handle bar or it will tip the stroller. This is a made for joggers stroller. Everything is perfect for joggers that want to run with their little ones. Other favorite features with this stroller is: their seat is so wide and so it will fit and small baby up to a toddler+. They recommend not putting a child until 8 weeks in the stroller with out the car seat attachment but after that point, it's great for any child to be in it and you can have a newborn in there if you purchase the car seat attachment. Their are great accessories you can purhcase for this stroller separately.
One thing I recently felt like I should add to this review was to mention the steering and turning. The Bob Stroller has a fixed front wheel for jogging and so it sometimes is hard to get used with turning and going around corners. It definitely is not ideal for going around narrow areas however with that said, I recently went jogging with a swivel wheel stroller and now I know why the Ironman is better with a fixed wheel. The swivel wheel was going side to side constantly and it was very difficult to keep it going straight. I would much rather struggle a little with turning that deal with not going straight constantly. To turn, I ussually lift the stroller on the two back wheels while jogging and turn. It makes it easier and I've gotten used to it so I don't slow down too much doing that. Hope this helps! I love hearing suggestions, questions, feedback.
PROS: well made, quality, perfect for joggers, great suspension, great canopy!, not super easy to turn but it's that way for a reason.
CONS: can tip over if too much weight is on the handle bar, (it's not for shopping and holding heavy things, it's for jogging and on the go travel), the fixed wheel is sometimes hard to get used to with turning.
