The BOB.

The POTM for February is my new double jogging stroller that arrived yesterday!
It is the BOB Revolution Duallie.

I have been "lusting" over this stroller for the past year or so, but I just couldn't justify the $579 price tag (ouch!) Well, when my friend Becky was over a few weeks ago & she told me that she found new BOB Revolution Duallie's on ebay for $389! They were last year's model and that is why they were so much cheaper. Becky sent me the link, but that store was already sold out. I searched around ebay for a few more days & found another ebay store that had them! Luckily for me, the timing was perfect because it was a few days after Kevin finished our taxes & he said I could use some of the tax money to get the stroller. Thank you Kevin :)

The stroller arrived yesterday & Kevin put it together last night (I didn't even have to ask...he is so well trained! hehe!) The weather was in the 60's today, so I thought I would take the girls on a walk this afternoon to test out BOB, since it is supposed to rain all weekend.

Kate LOVED riding next to Claire. I let Kate pick out which seat was hers (the right side). The whole walk she kept peeking over to Claire's side saying "Hi Hair!" Kate kept talking the whole time telling me "This fun!" & "I like this walk".
I think Claire really liked being able to sit up & see the world around her on a walk (she is used to being trapped in her infant seat on walks).

Even though this stroller is a little pricey (and I got a bargain!) it really is worth it. I know I have only taken it on 1 walk, but it was SO easy to push and maneuver! I felt like it was gliding. Our neighborhood has a ton of hills & it wasn't hard for me to push the girls up the hills. The stroller is light weight (for a double jogger) and it turns on a dime. It is wide...we definitely took up the width of the whole sidewalk!

Thanks again for the idea to look on ebay Becky! Can't wait to jog (.....or walk) downtown in our matching strollers to get coffee with the kids!

Oh my goodness, the cuteness! I'm so excited to see my babes side-by-side. And we can get some good walks/runs in when we find a wide path. :)
