Pros:
Turns on a dime, very smooth ride, folds easily, wheels are very durable, easy to clean
Cons:

We budgeted to spend more on a nice stroller that met all of our specs: durable, easy to use, appropriate for indoor/outdoor use. For indoor use (shopping, doctor's appointments, etc) it can be awkward. The only thing I regret about this stroller is its size. It was easy to assemble, the wheels are very durable, it is easy to clean, there is a lot of room for stowing things. The sturdy tires/wheels make for a smooth ride and the front wheel turns easily when the swivel feature is unlocked. No one in our house jogs, but we like knowing that if we every decide to do a crazy thing like that, the swivel-wheel has a locking feature. If I had to do it all over again, I'd buy a used BOB to save money. It's a very durable product and the ones I've seen on consignment looked great.

Excellent and versatile all-terrain stroller. We paid $359 for this stroller in February 2006, and have used it during all 4 seasons in MN. This stroller handles extremely well in all terrains - including sand, wood chips, and snow. It also does surprisingly well in retail environments - fits through all but the narrowest aisles. Very comfortable for daughter (started using at 4 mos.)- using their "Warm Fuzzy" accessory in cooler weather makes seat more cushioned. It's easy to fold, although something to lock it in the folded position would be nice. I also really like the view window with optional cover in the canopy. The biggest drawback is that the seat is always semi-reclined. As our daughter (13 mos.) has gotten older, she wants to sit up more to look around. Because of this, we're now shopping for a standard stroller as well for errands. I also wish the canopy was a bit bigger. Recommend getting following BOB accessories: Weather Shield, Warm Fuzzy, Cup Holder.

I bought this after buying a Zooper Boogie all-terrain first, and I hated it. I already owned a BOB SUS that we keep at our vacation home. I love the SUS for dirt/running, but it's a pain to steer because of the fixed wheel. I wanted a swivel wheel for just walking (you can't RUN with a swivel wheel- even in the fixed position, the tires aren't big enough and the wheel wobbles)I should have just bought another BOB. The Boogie was heavy and so hard to fold. The BOB folds up easy (but, it doesn't lock, which isn't perfect). Here's what i love:
Quality design/engineering/
Nice materials/
Average-sized basket/
Great console (for another $20- well worth it)/
Sturdy foot break/
Huge canopy (way better than the E3 or Baby Jogger)/
Great harness design/
Warm & Fuzzy insert/What i don't love:
Handlebar height/non-adjustabl e/
No handlebar break (not necc. for a non-jogger, but would be nice)/
Difficult to access basket once kid is seated/
Colors- how bout just plain red and blue?/
Expensive bug/glare cover/If you're looking for an all-terrain swivel wheel, DEFINATELY look at the BOB Revolution. It's awesome!!PS- If you think the price is too high, these do go on sale or closeout, though not that often. I got a 2006 in 8/06 for just $285. My SUS was only $240. I also have the carseat adapter for use with my Graco snugride, which is nice- but you don't want to be taking your newborn out on bouncy rides. My baby fit in the seat at about 3 months old (for walking, on paved surfaces).

I really love the Bob. It is so well made. I feel like it will last forever. I think it is a good value. It is a very smooth ride for the baby. I also have the graco car seat adapter and it works great. I think anyone who might want to exercise with a stroller and take baby on any terrain should get this stroller. It is not great for the mall, but you could use it anywhere. It is a bit large for the tight spaces in stores at the mall. Also, folding it up to put in the car is slightly challenging, mostly because of the size. I recommend to get the console piece that velcros on to the handle. The basket is fine, but a little hard to get into.

Pros:
Handles rough terrain easily, folds smaller than most
Cons:

We bought this and began using it (with the infant seat attachment) when our son was six weeks old. He began sitting in it alone when he was 4 months. We love the rugged wheels, shocks, and generous canopy. My only con is that I bought this thinking we could use this as our only stroller after the snap 'n go, but I've found that it's just too bulky for shopping and errands. It folds and opens in a snap but it's too tough to manuever around malls and shops. However, that's not what it's made for so I think I was just a naive first-time mom in thinking that it could do everything. We've run with it, walked off-road, and our son seems comfortable and cushioned.
