Meet my new friend, BOB

After much deliberation, advice and researching, (I think Alan wishes I would deliberate just a bit longer...4 days isn't long enough for him) we decided on the Ironman BOB stroller. We got it yesterday afternoon after placing the order late Thursday (I must have looked out the window about 20 times before the FedEx man finally showed up), put it together quick as could be, then took it on a walk to test it out. Ethan fell asleep for 45 minutes in it he loved it so much. :) I LOVE it! This morning we took a long 3 mile walk with bursts of jogging and running and it was fantastic. The shocks are sweet:) The best part is that it folds up so nice and easy and miraculously fits in my little honda trunk. I can't wait to go to Lake Miramar or the trails around the Wild Animal Park. Fun stuff!

p.s. If you're interested, I found it for a GREAT deal (almost $100 less than anywhere else) on a website that had no tax, free shipping AND a free safety light. Seriously awesome.

Awesome! I wish I could go out walking like that but I would need a triple one for the twins and my 3year old. Is the front wheel a swivel wheel?

i had a bob too. mine was blue--not the ironman but it was such a great double stroller. i pushed them in it till they were both 34 lbs. up the hill by our house. good thing i loved it so much otherwise i might have collapsed under the weight.
enjoy your new found freedom with it.

Hey we missed you today, but I totally understand the waiting for a stroller excitement. Waiting for my double nearly drove me crazy. The story is on my blog. Let me know when you go to the Wild Animal Park or Lake Miramar. We'd love to join you and I'll try to keep up.

So when you go to Miramar lake then you stop by my house for a swim and say Hi! Seriously!

Love the new background.
The stroller reminds me of Bob the Builder.

i love your new background! How do you get it to go all the way to the edges? I'm still having trouble with that. Love the stroller, too. I am holding out for a city elite double. I need to dig DEEP for that investment...blech!

I'm SO Jealous!! Looks like a fabulous stroller. Let me know how you like it the more you use it.
