Bob Revolution vs Baby Jogger Summit XC: So, let's be concise, pros and cons of each, who has had a chance to use both and have a good comparison point of view?

since you asked this a few months ago - did you decide yet? :-) the reviews of the summit 360 single and double seem to have a lot of people who have had both. the 360 and xc are pretty similar. i'm waiting till a local store has the xc in person to try one. i have a bob dualie and now need a single - the summit seems to have a much less annoying harness adjustment system and takes a taller kid. if it really feels as solid as the bob i will probably go with the summit. otherwise i will get an old single bob as i don't care for the new bob at all.

My daughter is about 36" & has plenty of room left. The foot rest is shared with the other seat, more so than the Bob jogger, (where each kid has their own foot compartment). My suggestion would be to test the both in a nearby store, if possible. The headroom in the x3 is better vs the Bob.

There's a different Bob's stroller for rugged ground ~ it has thicker tires. This is a pavement jogging stroller.

It's technically not a running stroller, even though the name has 'jogger' in it. It's a great all around stroller, but if you're going to run, I'd get an actual running stroller.

I have both and love both. I had the performance first and added the 360 because my 4 month old son likes to face out. I would say the performance is better for an infants, but in the long run I will get more use out of the 360. I might also add that I borrowed a Bjorn from a friend and it doesn't even compare both ergonomically for the baby and comfort for the parent. The ergo baby is far superior!

I seriously considered the BJCV and can tell you the following: 1. The BJCV is is more compact -- both in use and when folded. We use our Kolcraft only for "around the neighborhood" because it can't fit in the back of our small car. If we had bought the City Versa, it would have fit (I tried it out.) 2. The City Versa also folds more easily and has a much bigger shade and an adjustable handle. 3. The City Versa does NOT have an included parent tray or belly bar and you have to buy the car seat adaptor separately. However, the car seat adaptors for the Baby Jogger strollers are of higher quality and more secure. 4. I THINK that the BJCV seat is roomier, with more of a leg rest, etc. Overall, if I had the money, I'd buy the BJCV. For just a stroller that is used around the neighborhood (or if you have a huge vehicle and space doesn't matter), this Kolcraft stroller works pretty well.

Yes, I had the Graco snugride and the adaptor works wtih it. I had a hard time getting it put on the Baby Jogger, but my husband (who is not particularly mechanical) was able to do it and said it was easy, so I guess I just had a mental block.

Yes it does. It is deeper and has more pockets than the one made by Baby Jogger. In addition it has reinforced metal wire frame around the top, whereas the Baby Jogger has only two wires running parallel.One thing to consider is that the Baby Jogger console has a much stronger velcro.

I'm sorry, I haven't used the Happy Trails, but FWIW I can offer some details on the Sportster. I find the three wheels to be effective and a little easier to control over curbs and grass. The larger-sized wheels (compared to the smaller Pet Gear model pictured) are very stable. You do experience vibration in the front wheel if you are walking quickly, however it's intended for jogging and with a simple snap of a button at the front axle the wheel locks and eliminates the problem. At the same time, when walking at a leisurely pace you would prefer the wheel to be unlocked and spin freely for more responsive control over those uneven surfaces. It DID fall over once (because of the three wheel configuration), but it was totally my fault- I walked away from it after knowingly perching it on a very uneven surface, balancing it between a level sidewalk and a grassy hill. Had I even set the brake, which works very easily, it wouldn't have happened, but ultimately it comes back to the fact that one has to pay attention. Personally, I couldn't be happier and will undoubtedly stay with the Sportster. it folds easily and is light enough for my wife to toss it in the trunk.

I don't know that you can specifically but we are able to use a the Baby Trend Inertia car seat with the Summit X3 using the car seat adapter - http://www.toysrus.com/buy/car-seat-adaptors/baby-jogger-single-car-seat-adapter-multi-model-bj90121-20877316I would suggest you take your car seat to a Babies R Us or somewhere else that sells this adapter and see if the BOB Car sear fits in it. If it does then you should be ok. As an aside - i love this stroller! Our son is almost 6mos and it has been fantastic so far. Jogging, walking, city walks, trails - its so easy and smooth.

Since it has 4 wheels and they aren't all that large, I don't think this is really a good jogging stroller. Baby Jogger is simply the brand name, and they make lots of non-jogging strollers (including this one).

I've had the single and double version of the city mini. I personally found the single fine to jog with... A little heavy but good on flat paved surfaces. I found the double to be more of a convenient, light, fast walking stroller. I run a good amount and used both through toddler age for my kids. If you are looking to jog (10 min miles or slower) I feel like this is fine. I don't think it is the best for running. If you are looking to go faster, best RUNNING stroller is the B.O.B

We have a Double Bob, as well as the UppaBaby + Rumble. For twins, I much prefer the UppaBaby + Rumble b/c it is 1) easier to maneuver through stores, restaurants, etc. 2) less cumbersome when pulling in & out of the car. The rumble seat instructions will tell you to face the rumble and the stroller seat in the same direction (ie, both kids facing forward in this configuration). We didn't do that & instead faced the stroller seat forward & the rumble seat backwards (ie, kids facing each other). This goes against the directions, but gave the kids more room & comfort.

After many calls to Amazon, Baby Jogger and the primary seller, this is a 2012/2013 model. There was no change in the product from 2012 to 2013. The seller gave me a model number of 81260 (2012) and said that there could be a "BJ" in front of it (BJ81260 is the 2013 model). Overall according to the Baby Jogger, there was no change between the 2012 and 2013 model; thus it shouldn't matter which year it is. The model number that Amazon gives is wrong (it says it is a 2009 model). And for those who are curious as I was, the 2014 (BJ20410) model has only minor changes- a new seat harness that is apparently easier to use, new colors to chose from and a new logo.

No it is not a jogging stroller. I would strictly use it for it's intended purpose of walking your precious baby. Jogging with this stroller could result in severe injury or death. The Bob revolution is a wonderful walking/jogging stroller!

The stroller is a bit too big for shopping. I generally use it for running and for walking trails (excellent for trails - a true off road vehicle). I've had trouble getting around inside stores when using my Bob and sales associates generally get a little nervous when they see you coming. It's so big that they think you'll knock something down. We have a compact stroller as well and they both have great features and benefits. For shopping, leave the Bob at home.
