The best jogging, mall, travelling etc stroller! Here is the summary of the reviews that I read on many websites and everyone seems to agree:
-"It looks great and I get tons of compliments."
- "it is as close as you can get to an all in one stroller!"
- it's a great jogging, mall, walking etc stroller
- it is not too big.
- but it is not too small (like a mall stroller that is usually is too light and good for a baby, but not very good and stable for a toddler).
- it folds up easy, but it doesn't stand up while folded which is ok if you have enough space in your garage or house to store it.
- it takes 2 steps to fold it and a little strength to unfold (you kind of have to throw it).
- The suspension makes the roughest terrain smooth.
- "We take it everywhere from outdoors to the mall. It's so smooth and turns on a dime. I recommend the beverage holder as well...it's really handy."
"Parents looking for a slightly lighter Revolution with a more compact fold (but less jogging potential) should check out the BOB Revolution 12" AW, with three 12" aluminum wheels instead of 16" rear wheels. If you have two kids, or like having plenty of extra room, take a peek at the two seater BOB Revolution Duallie double stroller, which is also car seat compatible."
Car seat recommendations: Graco because it fits in almost every stroller/car seat adapter (Combi for example doesn't fit in BOB stroller). Graco SnugRide is the most recommended because it's light (usually about 7 lbs off the base) and it's not big and will fit into the shopping cart also. Graco SafeSeat is good too but it's heavier and much bigger (longer). Yes, SafeSeat model fits larger babies and you probably can use it for longer than SnugRide, but would you want to carry a 30 pound baby (+ 9 lbs car seat) around? Probably not. So I suggest use SnugRide till baby is 22 lbs (your baby should be about 7-12 months old, each baby is different) and then switch to a convertible or toddler seat which hold a baby from 22 lbs up to about 60 lbs. You can put your 6 months old baby directly into the stroller without the car seat. Snuzzler will make your baby very comfortable and happy too :)
Changes to the BOB Revolution for 2007:
*New colors
*Increased seat recline to 70 degrees off vertical
*More seat padding
Recommended extras (all have no less than 4.5 star reviews):
* infant car seat adapter (look for one with tray)
* Snuzzler (Kiddopotamus & Co Snuzzler Complete Head And Body Support For Any Seat)
* handlebar console
* weather shield revolution (if it rains or snows often when you have your baby).
* If you plan to travel often also get the "BOB Stroller Travel Bag Black"
"Bottom Line: The BOB Revolution strikes the ideal balance between a walking stroller and a jogging stroller. It weighs a bit more and has less storage than most travel system strollers, but good luck taking one of them out for a jog - or even over some dirt trails. With the Revolution, you can manage any terrain with total ease, and it has a one-of-a-kind adjustable tracking system for jogging. Altogether, you have one of the best all-purpose strollers ever produced."
Very Happy The border was just what it appeared in the picture. We were very happy with the quality and it was easy to put up. We had read about problems with the border staying up so we used some wallpaper glue as well and have had no problems.
I returned it I bought this changing pad but once I opened it up I decided to return it. The side bumpers go half the length of the pad fully attatched and the other half of the bumpers attach by velcro so that the pad can fold in half. However you must remove the cover to detach the two halves of the bumpers which makes it a pain to do and not as easy as it seems (it isn't really that hard but understand the process isn't just grab and go). When the changing pad is laid out flat the bumpers don't line up smoothly and the area where the pad folds is also bumpy. On the plus side it felt sturdy, was covered in vinyl that would be easy to clean and the cover that came with it was soft and fit the pad well. I am not really sure when you would use this product. For most travel the changing pads that you keep in your diaper bag would be fine and this pad doesn't really fold up that small so it would still be bulky to travel with.
Cream body scrub When I bought this item, I thought that you are to use it in the shower. This product is to be used on dry skin THEN rinsed off...to inconvient !
Should give directions in the listing.
Love this stroller! I will admit, I have a bit of a stroller fetish. We have had five (a Graco, a Mia Moda Cielo, a BOB Jogger, a Quinny Buzz, and now the Zapp) and I LOVE the Quinny products best of all. We bought the Zapp to be our on-the-go, folded-up-in-the-car stroller, but we have been using it all the time because the baby is so into it. Here's a review in a nutshell:
1. Baby loves its comfy seat - looking out at the world.
2. Snazzy colors and space-ship design are attention-getting!
3. Very lightweight, maneuverable, folds up very compactly.
4. Only downsides - no cup holder, smallish shopping basket, folding takes a bit of practice but becomes second nature.
This is a very sturdy and good looking stroller. If you are considering a Maclaren, look at this first - similar in function, but it's got more style, and it's more comfy for the wee ones.
