Tike Tech Single All Terrain X3 Sport Stroller Review

I have FOUR big problems with this stroller.
ONE: There is a serious problem with the engineering of the crotch strap. My daughter is now 10 months old, and when I put her in the stroller, with her back against the backrest (naturally), her crotch/bottom is about 4 inches from where the crotch strap is sewn to the seat bottom. Now, you might not think that is a problem at first, but after about two minutes in the stroller, my poor gal slides forward until her crotch meets the strap, thereby moving her rump from the back of the seat, SO, now she is slumped in the seat sitting on her rounded tailbone. It is so uncomfortable! I have tried to roll up a large cloth diaper and put it between her legs (how embarrassing for the poor girl) just to keep her from sliding forwards!! It doesn't work that great, and looks really dumb. And, because the crotch strap is soooo far away, I don't expect her to grow into it in the near future--maybe this would be best for a two-year-old. The seat is also way too roomy for her, even with the Tike Tech comfort insert-thingy.
TWO: Sunscreen looks big, right? Well, it still does not block the sun any better than any other non-bubble shade. It does nothing special.
THREE: The front brake shifts on its own so that it hits the side of the tire while I am walking/jogging. I have to stop, lean over and manually push it off the one side of the tire back to the middle--over and over.
FOUR: The cheap plastic tire shield slides off the screw and comes down over the front tire, also making an annoying squeeky racket.
AND, just to let other novice shoppers know, don't get any large fixed wheel jogger if you are running around your neighborhood. It is so hard to turn this bad-boys! These types are for long straight runs.

BOB Revolution 12" Aluminum Wheel Stroller Review

I like this stroller a lot, but now that I've had it for a 1.5 years, I've decided to edit my review with a few caveats prospective buyers should know about this model. First the good news:
1. It handles bumps, cobblestones, uneven sidewalks, and even off-roading in grass and somewhat rocky terrain like a champ.
2. Maneuvers beautifully around anything - indoors and out. I use it even to go shopping b/c it turns corners and goes around store racks so easily - even one-handed.
I have a few complaints:
1. First, regarding how complicated it was to get the wheel tracking calibrated once they were on. The instruction manual is kind of difficult to understand and the accompanying illustrations are not helpful.
2. Considering the price of this stroller, I cannot see why BOB wouldn't just include a handlebar console, which is totally necessary. Seems a little cheap to me!
3. The small wheels are VERY difficult to fill using a tire pump. The spokes are so small and close together that getting the nozzle on the valve requires a herculean effort. Getting it off without losing all the air you've just pumped in is also no small feat. And if you use it as often as I do, you'll need to fill the tires regularly. VERY frustrating, so I suggest a model with the bigger wheels and the large, plastic spokes.
4. This is a pretty heavy stroller when it's folded up. Hard to get in/out of the car trunk. Hard to unfold easily and impossible to, say, carry up/down a flight of stairs if you have a child with you. We leave ours in our apartment building's foyer with a bike lock attached.
5. No easy way to convert it to a double-stroller, with an extra seat attachment, like many Phil and Ted's models. COnsidering what an investment this is, it surprises me that an adapter of this kind is not available for the BOB. When/if you have a second child, you'll have to simply buy a double jogger - not cheap!!

Overall, a good investment, but some of these caveats may matter to some people. If I had to do it over again, I may have either bought a used BOB model to save money, or I would've bought a different brand that allows you to add a second seat for another child.

Product Description:
BOB Revolution 12 All Wheel Stroller has all the maneuverability and versatility of the Revolution stroller kicked up a notch. Smaller wheels enable increased mobility in crowded aisles and cramped elevators. The lightest of the Revolution strollers, its just as easy to fold up for travel and storage. Unlock the swiveling front wheel to easily navigate around tight corners and shopping aisles, or lock the front wheel forward for jogging. Three inches of suspension and on/off-road tires give the child a smooth, nap-inducing ride.
