The Jeep Overland Limited Jogging Stroller Vs The BOB Revolution Stroller

Okay, so you're stuck in between the Jeep Overland Limited Jogging Stroller, and the BOB Revolution Stroller. I could understand why, both of them are extremely well built, with comfortable child seats designed with a 5-point child safety harness, and multiple seat reclining positions, adjustable rain/sun hoods, large under-seat storage, parking brakes, and running leashes. The Jeep and the BOB have excellent reviews as well. This may be a tricky decision, however, there are some unique features that set both of these jogging strollers apart. Let's take a peek, shall we?

First of all, the suspension systems. The Jeep Overland provides a spring loaded suspension system, which makes for an extremely smooth ride. The BOB Revolution provides a shock absorbing suspension system, also smooth, however, the BOB's shock absorbers can be adjusted, depending on terrain, and also the weight of your own growing child. The BOB Revolution's max weight is 70 pounds, whereas the Jeep Jogger only increases to 45 pounds. The BOB Revolution also weighs less, 23 pounds when compared with Jeep's 28 pounds. When you examine what all you get with that extra 5 pounds, it doesn't seem so bad, though five pounds may seem like a lot. The Jeep Overland Jogging Stroller comes with tons of extra's including, a kid snack tray with cup holder, a hand brake for anyone extra steep hills, an adjustable handle with multiple heights and other angles, in addition to a parent tray having an iBaby sounds system that provides you and the child the opportunity to listen to tunes in the trail. The parent tray also includes cup holders, and storage for keys, cell phone, etc. With all those extra's, it appears as if a pretty simple decision, however you can still find a few very important key features to look at.

Number one, the front wheels. The Jeep comes equipped with a set front wheel, whereas the BOB delivers a locking swivel front wheel. In order to do so, while the BOB Revolution simply turns on a dime, this means that when it comes to turning the Jeep Jogging stroller, you must pop-a-wheelie. The Jeep was designed for the "SERIOUS" runner, and the BOB was designed for the "ALMOST SERIOUS" runner,. That's the reason for this. Almost serious means, that you tell people you're venturing out for a jog, and you find yourself just walking really fast 80% of the time. Hey... I'm not poking fun, I'm the "ALMOST SERIOUS, BUT NOT QUITE, BECAUSE I'M EXTREMELY LAZY" jogger. Therefore, the BOB Revolution would be more my style. I like being able to navigate through the grocery store easily, or around tight corners without lifting the front end up. I like because you can lock the top swivel wheel, and also have the added convenience a sturdy fixed wheel when I'm "ALMOST SERIOUS" about jogging. However, what I don't like about the BOB Revolution, is the price. The listing price for your Jeep Overland Limited Jogging Stroller is $239.99, over one hundred dollars less than the BOB Revolution, priced at $389.00. That is a significant difference. You must also keep in mind that the BOB' resale value is also through the roof, however. It is possible to sell a used BOB for almost exactly the same price as you can purchase a new Jeep Overland. The BOB has a HUGE following. That's the reason for that. Everyone loves this jogging stroller. They are saying it's like pushing air, light being a feather, and totally well worth the extra money. The Jeep even offers excellent reviews, however I did so find a few complaints about the front wheel, apparently, a few people bought it without realizing the front side wheel was fixed. I assume which may tick me off too.

If you are a "SERIOUS" runner, you may want to take a better look at the Jeep Overland Limited Jogging Stroller, in conclusion. If you're an "ALMOST SERIOUS" runner, you may want to consider taking a loan out to buy the BOB Revolution Stroller. All the best, hope it will help!
