BOB Revolution PRO from BRITAX

The sporty outdoor stroller brand, BOB from BRITAX, has introduced a new all-terrain power pushchair, the BOB Revolution PRO. This is the first pushchair on the market that has a swivel wheel which is safe and approved for running and skating in the UK and Europe.

So adaptable and easy to use, it is also the perfect everyday stroller for any family whether you’re looking for a pushchair that’s easy to manoeuvre around town or something sturdy for those off-road family walks, the versatile Revolution PRO is adaptable to your every need.

The PRO features:

• a newly designed drum handbrake that provides additional stopping assistance for tricky downhills
• a flexible front wheel which can swivel for superior manoeuvrability when on pavements and in shops
• a front wheel lock for increased stability when being used for running or skating
• front wheel tracking adjustment which allows parents to reposition and fix the front wheel. This helps to keep the stroller rolling straight when being used for running
• a unique two-step fold mechanism allows the BOB to fold quickly and efficiently and the quick release wheels allow ease of fitting into almost any car boot
• a state of the art suspension which provides different settings depending on the weight of the child and the surface you are on
• large, polymer composite wheels, which unlike normal plastic pushchair wheels, are designed to take high impact shocks when pushing the stroller over rough or uneven terrain
• a secure five-point harness, keeps your little one in place when jogging over rough terrain and makes them feel safe and secure at all times
• a fantastic multi-position overhead canopy helps protect your baby from all the elements and the large viewing window helps you keep an eye on your child
• an easy height adjustable handle allows either parent to have the perfect pushing or running position
• the high quality black powder coated anodised frame keeps the PRO looking sleek and smart

The BOB Revolution PRO takes just minutes to assemble and folds easily for storage or to but in the car. Laura Chambers tried  it out for Parenting Without Tears with baby Isabella and here are her thoughts:

• Feels well built, solid
• Looks really smart
• Lots of pockets, compartments and smart design features
• Handles really well with excellent suspension, turns really sharply, goes up and down kerbs very smoothly
• The adjustable handle is particularly good – being able to position it exactly where you want it is a real plus point (unlike other buggies where there are a number of pre-determined heights)
• Liked the fact you can have the hood pulled down as a sunshade but still keep the back open so I could look in on Isabella – there's also a window made of plastic which you could also use if you wanted to cover the back entirely
• It really is quite big (not one for buses). However, it feels and handles much lighter than I would expect it to
• I found the footbrake a bit tricky to release – if you're wearing sandals in the summer it hurts your toes.

All in all, I was very impressed and would definitely recommend, particularly for parents who might take the buggy "off the beaten track" or for laps round the park.
