Stroller Perfection

As the old adage goes, "never leave home without a good book." 

Besides reading material, I never leave home without my.... jogging stroller. 

When we lived in New York, I was a gym rat.  Upon moving to Florida, I soon realized that paying for a gym membership doesn't make sense when the weather is so inviting.  Would you prefer to sweat in a stuffy gym or outside where the tropical air, clear skies, and chirping birds call your name?  All it took was one jog through T.Y Park and I was hooked. 

Then I was faced with the big question, what to do with my kids?  Without built-in-babysitting provided by the rat hole gym, how would I be able to go for a run when the ultimate source for Vitamin D beckoned?

Answer: The BOB Revolution Dual (= seats two ;)   ) Stroller: the ultimate stroller for everyday activities and not-so-everyday adventures.

The engineers of this brillant product are geniuses.  They thought of every single detail and came up with stroller perfection.  Here's what I love:

  • The swivveling front wheel allows for superior manuverability.  It locks forward for increased stability when jogging or if the terrain gets tough.
  • The lightweight frame is easy to fold and includes a practical storage basket that isn't cumbersome on an intense jog.
  • The state-of-the-art suspension system provides an exceptionally smooth ride.
  • Multi-position canopies have large windows with shades to protect the kids from the sun.
  • The seats have roomy internal pockets to store toys and snacks.
  • The ultra-padded seats are comfy and can recline for added comfort.
  • The parking break works instantaneously to secured a stopped position.
Wherever my day takes me...Hollywood, Cooper City, Plantation, if I have a few minutes and feel like going for a jog, I put on my running shoes, unfold the stroller from the car's trunk and hit the pavement.  Actually, with a stroller like this, the correct term would probably be float...

One note on the price: Remember that ten months of using this stroller outdoors is the same price as the gym membership you don't use anyway. And from then on - your "membership" is FREE!
