We're currently expecting our first child, and will update this review after we've met our little one, so this review is only based on research. I am a light jogger and my partner runs 30+ miles per week. As we are only purchasing one stroller, we wanted our main stroller to be a jogging stroller. We made our decision and purchased the Graco FastAction Jogger Travel System. While price wasn't a huge factor, we do appreciate the overall value of the Graco system.<br/><br />Graco<br/><br />Dimensions: L: 40", W: 24", H: 42"<br/><br />Folded Dimensions: L: 39", W: 23.6", H: 15.3"<br/><br />Weight: 30lbs<br/><br />Weight capacity: 50lbs<br/><br />One-step folding<br/><br />BOB<br/><br />Dimensions (swivel mode): L: 46" W: 25.5" H: 40"<br/><br />Folded Dimensions (swivel mode): L: 39", W: 25.5", H: 16"<br/><br />Weight: 25lbs<br/><br />Weight capacity: 70lbs (although most children will outgrow before reaching 70lbs)<br/><br />Two-step folding<br/><br />Why the Graco wins<br/><br />We tested a few different strollers in store, and only looked at strollers with inflatable wheels, suspension, and specifically marked for jogging. I'm 5'8" and my partner is 6'0" and the Graco is a little more comfortable for us height-wise. If you are on the shorter side--say 5'4" and under--and a heavy jogger, you may prefer the BOB. If you are 5'10" or over, I'd recommend the Graco. At 5'8" I could go either way, but did find the Graco slightly more comfortable. Of course, if you can go to your local Babies R Us and try out the models yourself, that's best. The handlebar height is 40" on the BOB and 42" on the Graco. Neither are adjustable.<br/><br />I liked the folding on the Graco better, as it's easier to be folded with one hand. The kickstand on the stroller to stand up while folded is a nice touch.<br/><br />Included accessories: The Graco includes the parent's console--awesome, with the two rigid plastic cup holders, smartphone holder, and hidden compartment. Smartphones with 5in+ screens do not fit in the smartphone holder, but our iPhone 4s with rubber cases fit fine, and I've heard a naked iPhone 5 fits fine, while a case on an iPhone 5 may or may not work. But larger smartphones will fit in the hidden compartment. The child's tray, and wheel reflectors are also included. All of these must be purchased separately with the BOB and the parent's console is mesh on the BOB, which I didn't like as it didn't feel as sturdy. Additionally with the BOB, you have to buy the car seat adapter. And, the car seat!<br/><br />I won't do a long review of the car seat, but the quality is important to us, and we feel the quality is on par or better than if we were to have bought the car seat separately. Besides the high safety ratings, we like that it is light, rated to hold an infant 4-35lbs., rear-facing, included infant insert, and is LATCH compatible.<br/><br />Tie<br/><br />Durability: I think the Graco is on par with durability with the BOB. Both have a metal frame and look they they can take a beating and certainly make it through infant to toddler, and another child. Contrary to the positive reviews I'd read about BOB fabric and canopy materials, I wasn't impressed, and felt the Graco fabric choices were higher quality. The BOB fabric looks like it will fade easily, and when looking at used BOBs on Craigslist, I noticed several noted a faded canopy.<br/><br />Both strollers have the safety features of foot brake, wrist strap, and peakaboo window on top of canopy. Both canopy coverage was similar. Both strollers lack handle-bar brake.<br/><br />Why the BOB wins<br/><br />Suspension: The BOB does have better suspension, coil spring and elastomer core shock absorbers provide three inches of wheel travel. Adjustable shock release knobs allow for two shock positions to fine-tune suspension for varying occupants and cargo. This really made me lean towards the BOB at first, but we're not really trail runners and all of our running is done on level pavement. While we plan to take the stroller onto trails and beaches, we didn't think the suspension and shocks were as valuable there, given the other lacking features. But, if you are a trail runner or regularly run on uneven surfaces, this might make the BOB worth it.<br/><br />Cost difference (online prices)<br/><br />Graco system with carseat and attachments included: $300<br/><br />BOB: $330 +carseat($150) +carseat attachment($55) +parent console($25) +child's tray($25) +tire reflectors($5) = $590<br/><br />The Graco stroller comes in the following colors: RoadRunner (black/gray), Chili Red, Piazza (green), Grapeade (purple), Tangerine (orange), and Tidalwave (teal)<br/><br />All are black or gray based with the color accent acting as kind of a "racing stripe," vroom!<br/><br />Tip: For the carseat, if you do want the foot bootie (aka foot warmer or fabric boot) for your little one's tootsies, you can go to Graco Baby's website and find the SnugRide ClickConnect 35, find the color you like, get the product number of the item, and the fabric boot is available for purchase under the Replacement Parts section of the website for $13. Or you can call Graco and they'll do the order over the phone. While I couldn't find a bootie that matched the Chili Red, there is a bootie in black with white piping (called Lyric) that looks like a good match. Of course, color availability may change over time, so you might be better off making a phone call and asking.<br/><br />Hope this helps with your purchase. Feel free to ask any questions about the Graco and I'll try to answer them. We're very pleased with our decision to get the Graco. Can't wait to meet our little guy and put this sucker to use!</div><br /></div>

Especially for the price ($118-$130 at time of purchase), it's solid quality, with fantastic features. It might not be perfect in every respect, but no stroller ever is.<br /> <br /> This stroller is arecent acquisition for us, so I am REALLY excited about it, especially because it has made my life with two kids 2 and under MUCH easier. I have found new freedom and I no longer hesistate to go on a walk with them when I'm bymyself! I think Graco has integrated a lot of new features into this model---taking into account complaints from past customers (reading through the older Duo Glider reviews, it looks like a bunch of them have been addressed).<br /> <br /> I was looking for a simpler, smaller, lighter-weight option for transporting my kiddos when they don't want to walk. I didn't want to spend too much since we've already spent a lot on strollers in the past. This is a nice alternative to our Uppa Baby Vista stroller with a rumble (second) seat, which is heavy and bulky and takes up a ton of room in the trunk.<br /> <br /> Here are my favorite features:<br /> <br /> 1. Really does open and collapse easily with one hand. I've tried this on a few occasions holding my 8 month old and it's been relatively easy. Just unsnap the side lever to unfold, and pull and twist the handlebar to begin collapsing.<br /> <br /> 2. Lightweight, yet very sturdy and high quality materials: frame is solid, the fabrics feel thick and durable and relatively waterproof (NOTE: the color was a little darker than I expected---the blue is more of a dark teal)<br /> <br /> 3. Assembly is a cinch. Done in about half an hour. I needed to use a little more force than expected to snap trays into place, but all in all, easy enough and pretty quick.<br /> <br /> 4. Size: For a two seater, it's got a compact footprint and is narrow enough to maneuver through tight spaces. You can't get much smaller than this without giving up comfort, safety and that awesome basket underneath. I've taken it up and down hills and around small spaces and it does great!<br /> <br /> 5. Both kids have a great view, since the one in back is set up higher.<br /> <br /> 6. Both seats have large canopies that generally create shade in the right spots! There's even a clear backing to the rear canopy, so parents can peek at their babies. The front canopy is HIGHLY adjustable, the rear is stationary and doesn't shade quite as well, but is adequate.<br /> <br /> 7. Both seats have trays and the parent tray is awesome. Note, there are only two cupholder TOTAL on this model. The back seat tray is a little lame and lacks a cupholder---whatever (I'll use my dropper stopper for that). Parent's tray has one deep, sturdy cupholder (which keeps liquids away from babies and has the canopy as an added barrier). There's a reasonably large, deep, lidded container for keys, wallet, wipes, phone, whatever...<br /> <br /> 8. The basket underneat is very large and the kids' feet don't take up precious cargo space---which is the problem with my UPPA baby Vista when I use the second (rumble) seat.<br /> <br /> NEGATIVES:<br /> <br /> 1. Rear child tray has no cupholder<br /> <br /> 2. Both seats have only two positions: for the front it's either upright OR deeply reclined (quite nice), for the rear, it adjusts from upright to completely flat. No inbetween. This is unclear from the product description. A slightly upright, but reclined position option would have been nice, but isn't the end of the world.<br /> <br /> 3. The rear seat is slightly angled downward and has a tendancy to slide the child's bottom forward. I make sure the seatbelt is tight, especially because my child's feet can't reach the footrest.<br /> <br /> 4. As with ALL IN-LINE strollers, the child in the back has the ability to kick the seat of the child in front, and the child in the rear can reach and possibly rub the head of the child in front. Depends on how well-behaved your kids are! Choose seat selection accordingly!<br /> <br /> All in all: a fantastic product, with an excellent price. Highly recommended!!!!!!</div> <br /></div>
