I have the Bob Revolution. It's really smooth and it rolls over the "terrain" in Central Park. I don't run, DH does. Unfortunately, my DD didn't like going running in it so he never uns with DD. But we use it on weekends sometimes -- it's a pain in stores or for public transportation but good for walking, very smooth. [ Reply | More

Huge fan of the BOB. Caveat: that thing is a BEAST over terrain of any kinds (good) and a beast to carry (bad) so if you are dealing with stairs- consider carefully. If you have an elevator, it's all good. [ Reply | More

yes, of course, but in schools were there were many spots & not that many siblings, siblings are being rejected. That is what doesn't make sense.
