The Jeep Overland Limited Jogging Stroller Vs The BOB Revolution Stroller

Okay, so you're stuck in between the Jeep Overland Limited Jogging Stroller, as well as the BOB Revolution Stroller. I could understand why, they are both well built, with comfortable child seats equipped 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 might be a difficult decision, however, there are a few unique features that set these two jogging strollers apart. Let's have a look, shall we?

First, of all, the suspension systems. The Jeep Overland provides a spring loaded suspension system, which makes to have an extremely smooth ride. The BOB Revolution delivers a shock absorbing suspension system, also smooth, however, the BOB's shock absorbers could be adjusted, based on terrain, and the weight of your 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 compared to Jeep's 28 pounds. Five pounds may seem like a lot, but when you examine what all you get with that extra 5 pounds, it doesn't seem so bad. The Jeep Overland Jogging Stroller comes along with plenty of extra's including, a kid snack tray with cup holder, a hand brake for all those extra steep hills, an adjustable handle with multiple heights and various angles, as well as a parent tray having an iBaby sounds system that gives you and your child the ability to listen to tunes on the trail. The parent tray also includes cup holders, and storage for keys, cellular phone, etc. With those extra's, it appears as though quite a simple decision, however you may still find a couple of very important key features to look at.

Primary, the front wheels. The Jeep comes designed with a fixed front wheel, whereas the BOB delivers a locking swivel front wheel. This means that when it comes to turning the Jeep Jogging stroller, you must pop-a-wheelie in order to do so, while the BOB Revolution simply turns on a dime. The reason for this is that the Jeep was designed for the "SERIOUS" runner, and the BOB was designed for the "ALMOST SERIOUS" runner. Almost serious means, which you tell people you're going out to get a jog, and you wind up just walking really fast 80% of times. Hey... I'm not poking fun, I'm the "ALMOST SERIOUS, BUT NOT QUITE, BECAUSE I'M EXTREMELY LAZY" jogger. Therefore, the BOB Revolution will be more my style. I like being able to navigate through the grocery store easily. Alternatively, around tight corners without lifting the front end up. I love the fact that you can lock the front swivel wheel, and possess the added convenience of 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 the Jeep Overland Limited Jogging Stroller is $239.99, over one hundred dollars less than the BOB Revolution, priced at $389.00. Which 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 second hand BOB for almost the same price as possible buy a new Jeep Overland. The reason for that is that the BOB has a HUGE following. People like this jogging stroller. They are saying it's like pushing air, light as being a feather, and totally really worth the additional money. The Jeep even offers excellent reviews, however I have done locate a few complaints about the front wheel, apparently, a few people purchased it without realizing the front side wheel was fixed. I assume that might tick me off too.

In conclusion, if you are a "SERIOUS" runner, you may want to take a better look at the Jeep Overland Limited Jogging Stroller. You may want to consider taking a loan out to buy the BOB Revolution Stroller if you're an "ALMOST SERIOUS" runner. Best of luck, hope this helps!
