Revolutionary Swiveling Front Wheel
The Revolution is designed to strike a balance between a walking and jogging stroller. The Revolution lets you get around the house, the neighborhood, or the market with ease, thanks to the innovative wheel design that expertly handles corners and makes pushing the stroller as easy as steering a bike. The 12-inch swiveling front wheel features a ball bearing headset, a proven technology that ensures durability, reliability, and solid performance. It allows you to handle a city’s tight corners, and make your way through crowded aisles, and into cramped elevators with ease.
Additionally, the shock absorbers minimize the impact of uneven pavement or bumps on both urban streets and woodsy trails, which means you can introduce baby to the “off-road” world without sacrificing his comfort or safety. You can also lock the forward wheel for maximum stability for running and straight-ahead walking. Finally, the state-of-the-art suspension system provides for an exceptionally smooth ride.
Safe, Durable Construction
The Revolution has a tough, welded frame made of high strength aluminum alloy and durable, stain-resistant fabric that wipes clean. The ultra-padded seat reclines up to 70 degrees (from vertical) and offer two seat pockets and a large seat back pocket for additional storage of toys and snacks. For added convenience and comfort, you can adjust the shock absorbers for big or small kids.
User-Friendly Design
The Revolution boasts a fast, two-step fold-up design for true stow-and-go portability. A foot-activated parking brake keeps things simple, while the five point safety harness with sternum strap ensures a secure, but not overly restrictive, strapped-in fit. This harness also meets ASTM safety standards, is padded for comfort, and is sewn into the seat fabric and connected to the frame for added safety. The padded shoulder harness offers additional comfort, and adjusts easily thanks to the red plastic pull rings.
The Revolution weighs 23 pounds and measures 38 x 16 x 23 inches (WxHxD) when folded with the wheels on. It is recommended for children who are at least eight weeks old. Please note that babies incapable of holding their head up must have additional head and neck support to ride safely and comfortably. For jogging or off-road stroller use, children should be at least eight months old.

Review
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.”
Infant Car Seat Compatibility
# Fits Britax Companion
# Fits Graco Infant Safe Seat (Step 1)
# Fits Graco Snugride
# Fits Peg Perego Primo Viaggio
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.”
