	The accessory adapter allows for quick and really easy attachment of the BOB Infant Car Seat Adapter or the popular Snack Tray.

Comment Sampling:

	Great Stroller! This is a great jog stroller. We use it at least four times a week and our little girl loves it. She has been riding in it since she was about three months old and she absolutely loves it. When she knows it is time to go run and she gets very excited.
	Not cheap... but if you're a runner you don't want cheap. We chose this jogging stroller for many reasons after quite a lot of research. One of the best features is the bright yellow color with reflective accents. This makes you easily seen by oncoming vehicles. Also very light and tracks well, doesn't pull left or right and the ride is quite smooth.
	Only way for a new mom to train. This stroller is absolutely great for running. It is the only way I was able to train for my marathon this year and being able to include my daughter in the process. I also got the weather shield, which allowed us train in cold/damp/windy conditions.
	I can't turn it! The front wheel does not move. Everytime you make a turn, you have to lift the stroller and turn it. I tried the regular revolution at a girlfriends place and it is much better.
	It's pricey The down side of the stroller is the price; wish it could of been a little cheaper but on the other hand it's seems well worth the price in terms of the quality of the stroller.
	Wouldn't do without it This stroller is fabulous for running outdoors, and it fits in the trunk of my car along side my "indoor" stroller... which is required because this stroller isn't the easiest to take to the mall, but it isn't meant to be.
	Did find it to be car seat compatible Good for hardcore runners, but not a great casual stroller. Also it isnt compatible with many carseats.
	Absolutely LOVE it! I am training for a marathon to help me lose my baby weight. This stroller is awesome! The stroller is light weight and easy to run with!! It takes about 30 seconds to get use to running while pushing something!
	Very happy with it Works really well as a jogging stroller, I will use it during training for my 4th marathon, Kind of expensive but worth it, debating about whether I want to buy any of the accessories for it!
	Well worth the cost I love my BOB and so does my son. If you are committed to jogging/running, then this is the stroller for you. I looked at numerous options, and decided on this stroller. It is a little pricey, but when I think that I will be using it for the next 3 plus years, the cost is actually quite reasonable.
	This stroller is great!! We read a lot of reviews on jogging strollers because both my husband and I run marathons and wanted something that was going to withstand our rigorous training schedules. The BOB has really been great for us!
	Simply Awesome I just bought this stroller and have taken it out for walks/jogging. This is one sturdy stroller! It practically goes by itself. I don't feel like I even have to push it.
	Getting my shape back! A little on the pricey side but absolutely worth it. Yesterday I was able to take my daughter out for a quick run. It is very light, fast, and comfortable to push and this is one sturdy stroller!

Keeping Pace...

The Bob Ironman stroller is designed to carry your child safely along for a comfortable, enjoyable ride at any pace, including an all-out sprint if that's what you feel like doing.

The model features a fixed front wheel and high-end suspension, as well as 16”, low-profile tires.

This design gives you the ability to travel at higher speeds and over almost any surface without causing any discomfort to your little one. In fact, many find their little ones either are rocked to sleep by the smooth motion of the stroller or otherwise they soak up the fresh air and sunshine with a smile on their faces.

Any Weather...

The Bob Ironman stroller is a stroller that will keep your little one protected from the elements.

If you are serious about jogging or running (and we think you are), you know what a drag it can be to want to get outdoors and run and get your workout in, but pehaps be unable to because of the weather for the little one.

This stroller, with its large sunshade and its optional all-weather protective shield, is perfectly suited for keeping your little one protected while you cruise along in even bad weather.

What about the ride of a stroller designed for the faster paces?

You will find that your runs are far more enjoyable when you know your baby is perfectly happy riding along with you, and that's just what will happen with the Bob Ironman stroller.

This stroller features an extra-thick padding on the seat as well as the ability to recline backward so your little one can really lounge while taking in the scenery.

This is combined with a five-point harness system so you don't have to worry about your child's safety while you run along at any speed.

It's even easy and breezy for you, too, because it folds up in just seconds with its innovative design, and this means it is the ideal stroller to take out with you to the hike and bike or city trails as well as through the neighborhood around your home, too.

“I've been running about three miles a day with the Ironman for over a month now, and it's been perfect for us. My daughter loves it, and that means I can run along guilt-free.”
