Comments about Baby Jogger Summit XC Stroller - Single:
It is sporty and yet chic. It is still a relatively new product in my house but the bassinet is an easy add-on, and I am impressed by how easily this stroller handles so far.

Tried the Joovy and this one both ok but the front suspension is not good at all. Deffinately not for off road. I went with the BOB Revolution
much better buy for the money couple dollars cheaper too.

I absolutely love this stroller. I bought it mainly becuase I didn't really want a BOB (only because everyone in my city has one) but I wanted an all-terrain stroller that was well-made. I had another brand already but did not like it and wanted something more lightweight. When I saw this one, I purchased it. It steers like a dream, it is so easy to fold with one hand, it is light-weight (actually has the same dimensions as the Bob but with a one-hand fold). It has both a hand brake AND a foot brake, reclines a lot, great sunshade with a window, and has both front AND back suspension. It is about the same price as the BOB revolution too. I almost purchased the Baby Jogger City Elite but this one has the 16" back tires. Unlike the City Elite, however, this model does not come with a handlebar accessory caddy which is a bummer. I had to purchase separately. I highly recommend this stroller however. It might not have the biggest underneath basket, but it has several pockets on the back seat for stuffing more stuff. LOVE it.

I was in the market for a new jogger and was looking for something other than a BOB (I know, I know... they are great strollers but I wanted to be a little different from the rest!). I almost went with the Baby Jogger City Elite but really wanted 16" back tires. Then I saw the Summit on REI.com and it had exactly what I was looking for. Same price as a BOB Revolution, same dimensions, both front AND back suspension, great hood, stylish...I ordered it and have not been disappointed. It is a dream to steer, even with one hand, it has a hand brake AND a food brake, and it folds up with one hand. LOVE this jogger. Wish it was available when my son was a newborn... it's the only stroller we'd need. My son is now 17 months. My only issue with joggers is that the kids don't get to sit upright enough but we have a little pillow for his back and he loves sitting up straight and watching everything.

Ok, this stroller is the direct competition for the Bob. I like this stroller a lot, but am still frustrated at stroller makers in general (not just BJ) that there is not a good all purpose stroller out there. I don't want to own one for walks, one for mall/public and one for light weight travel...only to buy all over again when we have a second kid. This is the closest I found in my search.
We use ours on community paths (smooth and rough) for walking and jogging. Have also taken it off path in grass and rougher terrain and it goes beautifully. Have never felt that I had to swerve to avoid a bump because it rides so smooth. Great for tall folks: high handlebar and no kicking with a long stride (we are 5'11" & 6'3" tall).
What I like about it:
-best, easiest to use, least hard to figure out folding system I have ever seen on a stroller
-great shocks on all three wheels - very smooth ride
-rolls like a dream, smooth with little resistance
-easy to figure out and use switch from swivel to stationary front wheel
-wheels very easy to take on/off
-good canopy coverage
-Long safety strap w/velcro to stow it when not in use
-it is compatible with a jump seat for a second kid if you wanted to expand - BOB is not
-customer service has been great
-did I mention I love how it folds?!
What could be improved:
-the basket on the bottom is a bit small and difficult to use - just like the BOB
-it is heavy, wide and long - just like the BOB
-could use an adjustable handle - just like the Bob
-Ours doesn't track straight when in jogging mode...it drifts to the side. Customer service has responded beautifully, and sent a new front wheel ASAP, but it would be nice to not need customer service at all.
-no pockets for the kid
-shoulder straps are a little harder to adjust than the clips make it look - the sliding to tighten is hard to do and I don't think that the shoulder straps get quite small enough for my 7 month old.
I would give a 5 but for the tracking and basket size/accessibility issues.
