BOB 2016 Revolution FLEX Stroller

     The BOB Revolution FLEX is the ideal on- and off-road jogging stroller, for outdoor enthusiasts and urbanites alike, keeping families active for the years to come. So whether you want a vigorous training session or a nice long walk, the Revolution FLEX is the ideal stroller. This stroller is amazingly versatile. The front wheel swivels, which allows for easy maneuverability through parks, city streets and other tight spots, but also locks for added stability when jogging or taking on rough terrain. And the handlebar adjusts, offering 9 positions to provide a perfect fit for parents of different heights. The Revolution FLEX boasts an ultra-smooth ride for your little adventurer. 

     The state-of-the-art adjustable suspension system takes bumps in stride. Boardwalks, beaches and trails are no match for this stroller. Your child will love the fully upright seating option and you only need one hand to adjust the seat angle. And keep all your supplies, gear and even a few toys in the extra-large cargo basket. When you're done for the day, fold the stroller in seconds and get going. Combine the Revolution FLEX with an infant car seat, like the BOB B-Safe 35 by Britax, to create the best travel system for your lifestyle. So go ahead - take your adventures to new heights with the BOB Revolution FLEX. BOB, the #1 jogging stroller.

As always, the BOB Revolution is a great stroller to run with, it's easy to manuveur and despite having some weight to it, feels very light to run with. I've been running with an older version of the BOB Revolution stroller since 2013 and was happy to upgrade.


Many of the features are the same as the older versions, but there are nice upgrades with this version that I really appreciate:
1- The padded seat, this seems minimal, but I have a feeling it makes for a more comfortable ride for my 3 year old.
2- The handlebar moves up and down! Being that I am only 4'10" the ability to move the handlebar down is a HUGE deal and makes my runs much easier.
3- There is now a buckled strap to hold the stroller closed when folded. I used to have to use a velcro breakstrap to wrap through the front wheel to hold the stroller closed and now there is a short buckled on the handlebar that you can use to hold the stroller closed, it's a small addition, but a great one!

Overall, this was a great upgrade to my pre-2013 BOB Revolution stroller. I use this almost on a weekly basis and to me is the best running stroller to own both for an easy ride for the runner and the child.

For convenient transportation and storage. Perfect for travel system

Graco Nautilus 65 LX 3-in-1 Harness Booster

3-in-1 Car Seat
The Graco Nautilus 65 LX 3-in-1 harness booster helps keep your child secure in a 5-point harness, from 22-65 pounds and from 27 to 49 inches. When your child is ready, the forward facing car seat converts to a belt-positioning booster car seat from 30-100 pounds and 38 to 57 inches, then to a backless booster seat from 40-120 pounds and 40 to 57 inches. This car seat keeps your child in a booster 20 pounds longer. It’s just like having 3 car seats, in 1.
Stay Harnessed, Longer
The Nautilus 65 LX has an extended 5-point harness – fits children up to 65 pounds – keeping them harnessed even longer. This is in keeping with the American Academy of Pediatrics’ recommendation that forward-facing children should use a 5-point harness for as long as possible — until they reach the maximum height or weight limit for their seat.
Kid Comfort
This seat provides your toddler their very own storage compartment for snacks or treasures. The contoured armrests – with integrated cup holder – keep drinks close, keeping thirst at bay. Extra comforts like seat pad, harness and buckle covers and a 3-position recline keep your growing child comfy during all sorts of travels. The body support can be removed to accommodate your growing passenger.

Nautilus 65 LX Harness Booster

Easy Adjust, No Rethread
The Simply Safe Adjust harness system adjusts the height of your harness and headrest, in one motion, to ensure that your child is always properly secured. The 5-position headrest makes it easy to give your growing child a proper fit, for optimal safety, and can be easily adjusted with one hand.

Parent Features
Moms love the design of Graco booster seats. This harnessed booster has several key features to help make your life easier, beginning with the easy to remove washable seat cover – no rethreading of the harness straps needed – followed by the fuss free harness storage, holding the buckle out of the way for easy in and out. Open-loop belt guides allow your independent child buckle themselves while ensuring that the vehicle seat belt is positioned properly in the high back booster mode.

2016 Britax B-Agile 3

       The 2016 B-Agile 3 is Britax's best-selling, lightest and most easily maneuverable stroller so you have the freedom to get where you need to go. The B-Agile 3 won't weigh you down thanks to its lightweight aluminum frame. and when you're done walking for the day, the quick-fold design allows you to close the stroller in seconds with just one hand. 

       The B-Agile 3 is such a customer favorite because it grants you the freedom to go practically anywhere. The 3-wheel configuration with swivel front wheels provides an ultra-small turning radius so you easily glide through crowds, thin aisles and other tight spaces. Combine the maneuverable B-Agile 3 with any Britax infant car seat and you get the perfect travel system from the #1 brand in safety technology. The Click & Go System allows for a quick and secure connection - no adapters needed. The B-Agile 3 is also compatible with other major infant car seat brands with the use of an adapter (sold separately).




Easy One-Hand Folding:

One-hand folding makes transitions easy and swift.


Click and Go Compatible:

The Click and Go System makes it easy to pair the stroller with any Britax infant car seat – no additional adapters necessary.

3-Wheel Configuration:

The B-Agile’s 3-wheel configuration has an ultra-small turning radius that will get you through any tight spots.

Lightweight Frame:

This lightweight frame is easy to push and carry.

     The stroller is very lightweight, so it is easy to quickly take in and out of the car. The fold process is very simple; push on button then pull on strap in the middle and its folded. The stroller is thinner than our old Uppababy, which makes it easier for pushing in crowds and tight spaces i.e., street fairs, mall, museums. etc. The front wheel locks in place so you can keep it straight or allow it to move freely, allowing for easy turning. We went for a long walk and I was able to easily push this with one hand, through snow and water. The turning is very smooth. 
    The stroller has a smaller compartment on the bottom so you are able to store bags underneath, although with our larger diaper bag it was a tight fit. The brake is easy to engage and take off; there is a large foot pedal. This stroller comes with the attachment for the Britax infant seat, which is a nice; with other strollers we had to spend up to an additional $50 for the car seat attachment.
