      Comments about BOB Ironman Stroller:

      This is a great jog stroller. We use it at least four times a week and our little girl loves it. She has been riding in it since she was about three months old and she absolutely loves it. When she knows it is time to go run and she gets very excited.

      The harness system is better than the harness system on the baby jogger products. We have a baby jogger bike trailer we use all the time (I would highly recommend it as well) and the harness system is well built in it but the BOB harness system fits smaller children better and it is easier to adjust as they grow. Also, the BOB jog stroller has places for water bottles in the child's seat where some of the other jog strollers only have a mesh pocket to put everything in.

      The suspension is great on the BOB. My child has no problem going to sleep during our runs and the stroller must be some what comfortable because we always run for 40-80 minutes and my child never fusses while she is in there.

      The handle bar has enough cushioning on it and it helps absorb sweat from your hands while running.

      The pull down awning is sufficient to keep the sun off your child just about regardless where the sun is. If you are running into the sun right at sunrise or sunset there might be a little sun that would catch them in the face but the rest of the day they would be fine.

      It also has a storage compartment on the bottom. This may not sound like that big of a deal but we have a little dog that makes every jog with us and she loves this compartment because this is where she rides. She has plenty of room and can stick her head out and enjoy the run as well. This may not be what you use this compartment for but it is great to store sweat shirts or a towel or something along those lines for after the run.

      We just found out we are having another baby so we will be selling our single BOB Ironman and buying a double BOB Ironman stroller. If I can jog 80 minutes pushing two kids and the dog, I really will feel like an Irongirl!

        Comments about BOB Ironman Stroller:

        This stroller is absolutely great for running. It is the only way I was able to train for my marathon this year and being able to include my daughter in the process. I started running with her when she was 6 weeks, with the assistance of the infant carrier attachment bar that is sold separately, and my pediatrician's ok. I also purchased the weather shield, which allowed us train in cold/damp/windy conditions. The warm fuzzy has also extended my outdoor training season. This stroller is fabulous for running/outdoors, and it fits in the trunk of my car along side my "indoor" stroller, which is required because this stroller isn't the easiest to take to the mall, but it isn't meant to be.

            Comments about BOB Ironman Stroller:

            I have 3 Bob strollers (Ironman, Ironman Duallie & Revolution). I'm a long term user and I've been a big fan. However, I have had repeated problems with breaking spokes.
            Strangely, the spokes are NOT a standard size (why?? I wonder) so you cannot take them to your local bike shop for a quick and easy rebuild. They will only stock "too big" and "too small" sizes. Every time I break a spoke or four (they tend to collapse completely once one goes) the wheel needs to be shipped back to Bob for a rebuild with all the attendant hassles. After 3 times I'm a bit over this, and it's enough of a reason for me to consider other brands if I was buying new.

            I'm a high milage running user - you may never experience this if you are just a low milage/ strolling user.

            Comments about BOB Ironman Stroller:

            This stroller is GREAT! We read a lot of reviews on jogging strollers because both my husband and I run marathons and wanted something that was going to withstand our rigorous training schedules. The BOB has really been great for us! It is super lightweight and easy to maneuver even when running with the baby and the dog.

            I have read complaints about the size of the basket, but lets face it. If you are a serious runner and want the best jogging stroller for running, you aren't going to be toting around a bunch of stuff in the basket. It can hold the essentials like an extra diaper and some water and snacks.

            The only minor change I think they should make (and may have with this year's model) is to make the reclining seat a little more adjustable, there isn't really an in between option, it is either up or down. But most of the time that is okay.

            If you are an avid runner, I highly recommend this stroller, it is well worth the investment!

              This stroller is absolutely wonderful. I am not an avid runner, but we walk and just enjoy being outdoors. The stroller is great on trails and city sidewalks. My son is very comfortable in it..he even takes great naps in it! The only down side is that it is not compact. You will not regreat spending the money on this stroller!

                I love my BOB Ironman and have recommended it to others. It's a great stroller for running. I had a different non-BOB jogging stroller but it kept veering to one side and I would have to adjust the front wheel in the middle of my run. I have never had that problem with the BOB. I also use it for running errands on foot.

                    Comments about BOB Ironman Stroller:

                    This jogger is designed for the serious runner. Its light weight makes pushing it a breeze and the fixed front wheel is a must have for running. The child seat sits up over the rear wheels, making the front end easy to pick up for effortless steering, and the rear wheels have suspension for the child's comfort. The large canopy provides ample shade for your child. Even the leash is designed for running -- it's attached to the bottom of the stroller to prevent tipping if (god forbid) the stroller should start to roll away. I was concerned that the lack of an adjustable handlebar would be a problem for me, but even at 5'1" I find that the height is perfectly comfortable while jogging.

                      Comments about BOB Ironman Stroller:

                      We started out with the Sport Utility Bob thinking that we would want to take it off road. Once we upgraded to the Ironman we were thrilled with it. It pushes as if it weighs nothing (even loaded down with a toddler). One small push and it tracks in a straight line until you change direction. The leash makes it super easy to run with. You just give it a forward nudge and jog along behind or beside the handlebar.

                      We also used the infant seat adapter for our daughter as a newborn. Works great although you really have to slow down on the turns given the weigh distribution.
