- A guided tour of the 2012 Honda CR-VThe Honda CR-V's popularity is not in question. Consistently one of the best-selling (if not THE best-selling) compact SUVs year in and year out, the CR-V has also been a steady reviewer favorite. At the end of 2011, the latest iteration of this model landed in showrooms. We spent some time with it ourselves, and can say without hesitation that the CR-V […]
- Why you shouldn't diet like a celebrityWhile researching our report on the best weight-loss programs, we learned that the key to keeping weight off is making sustainable, long-term changes. If you don't address -- and adjust -- the habits that put the weight on in the first place, it'll just come right back. Still, it's hard to resist the lure of celebrity diets, plans that promise […]

These apps can automatically post your non-Facebook online activities onto your Facebook Wall, so if you list […]
- When it comes to tech, it's cool to be practicalCovering consumer electronics means wading through a lot of "ooh, shiny!" devices and "game-changing" innovations, many of which quickly fall by the wayside, replaced by something shinier and cooloer. That's why it's nice to see that some companies are looking to harness technology in a more meaningful way, thinking less about t […]
- House plants you can't killEven with the pleasantly warm weather this week in New York City (thanks global warming), it's hard not to long for a little green right about now. With my notoriously black thumb, I typically shy away from growing houseplants and instead anxiously await the sprouting of my neighbors spring bulbs. Not this year. Intrigued by Home Depot's money back […]
- Phish of the day: Beware tax-season email scamsIf you've noticed an uptick of spam in your junk mail folder lately, you're not alone. Scammers go into overtime around the holidays and into tax season, aiming to trick you into forking over personal information. These email sneak-attacks are called "phishing" and it's nothing new. What is new this year is that a lot of the bogus em […]
- A new and (p)interesting way to shop onlineJust a year ago when I was moving into my first apartment, my cousin sent me an invite to a site she thought could help me shop for my new digs: Pinterest. I will admit: I played around with it, and I just didn't get it; I was overwhelmed by images and I found the interface cluttered. She said I was missing out on something great, and now I'm eati […]

- Beauty beware: Hepatitis risk at nail salons and barbershopsI'm a do-it-yourselfer when it comes to nail care, preferring to shape and paint my own talons instead of paying someone else to do it. Apparently, my frugal ways may do more than save me money -- it might also save my health. Nail salon and barbershop patrons may be at risk for hepatitis infection if the tools commonly used -- such as nail files, nail […]
- Are you buying a big-screen TV for the big game?Over the years, the Super Bowl has grown from just being a game for all the marbles at the end of the NFL season to a near-universal day of celebration and parties that even non-fans can enjoy. Sure there's the spectacle of the game itself, but watching all of those "can you top this" commercials has grown into its own national pastime. And no […]
- Hands-on with four good, cheap new carsI get to drive a lot of different cars throughout the year, and they run the gamut from Powerball-winner hardware to basic, affordable transportation. Sure, the glitzy stuff is a lot of fun, but some of the best new cars I've had the opportunity to try are also among the least expensive. This is good news if you want to buy a new car but have a modest […]
- Child seat belt safety: When to transition out of a boosterParents might breathe a sigh of relief when their children no longer need a bulky child car seat or booster, but they shouldn't exhale just yet.

- Inspired vegetarian recipes to chase away the winter bluesIn the dead of winter, with greenmarkets either closed or offering very limited selections of produce, it's all too easy to think that healthy, meat-free meals are out of reach. But you can still find a variety of veggies that are either in season or available year-round. With a mind toward that healthy-eating New Year's resolution, we scoured the […]
- Should Google's new privacy policy worry you?"Don't be evil." Google's unofficial mantra sounds pretty noble, right? But some say that Google has lost its guiding light in the wake of some recent changes to the company's privacy policy and Terms of Use. What's all the hubbub about? Why do some think it's the end of privacy as we know it, and others just shrug their sh […]
- Can you trust online reviews?The issue of fake user reviews is nothing new. We blogged about it back in 2009 after a Wall Street Journal article exposed the practice by certain companies of having employees post favorable write ups to user-review sites, such as Amazon.com. Now, The New York Times has shed some light on something new, yet still the same: offering real customers financial […]
- DOT tries to put the "fair" in airfare pricingEarlier this week I booked a flight from New York to Miami. Even though JetBlue only flies to the nearby Fort Lauderdale, I couldn't pass up the advertisement in an e-mail sent to me: Book Today, $89 each way from JFK. When I went online to look up fares, I did not see that fantastic rate; instead the fares were through the roof with the flights I want […]

For the money I would expect a better product. Although there is a parking brake, there is no handbrake. Picture this: take BOB to a highschool tournament and roll down a small hill from one field to another. The stroller weighs over 30 lbs, add two 30 lb kids, and diaper bag and all of a sudden you’re trying to control a 100 lb cart on wet grass without any way to slow it down. It’s an unnerving feeling. We saw $250 strollers at Babies-R-Us with a handbrake.
Speaking of diaper bags, the storage under the cart is rather tight. As we have twins, we have a larger than normal diaper bag which does not fit in the storage bin.
Two big hits in safety and convenience are the reason for three stars. Although I agree with the other positive reviews, I feel we should expect more for the money.
The additional storage unit that installs between the handle bars is a bit stingy on storage (it’ll hold a wallet and keys but not much else). I suppose that is done deliberately so that the stoller doesn’t tip under the load. However, the bottle holders are too small for anything other than a can of soda or bottle of water. An insulated mug or bottle cozy are too big to fit. And because the storage area under the stroller is so inaccessable, we find ourselves resting the diaper bag up there.
On the plus side it is very easy to control, easy to collapse, and so far seems quite sturdy. I like that the front wheel locks in the forward swiveled position giving a little slightly longer wheelbase. The straps are easy to use and adjust.
The burnt orange seems a little prone to marks, etc, but we’re willing to live with that to gain the visibility it offers while out and about.

This is the best stroller you could ever buy! After doing lots of research out there we decided on the Single BOB and then we had Baby #2, we just had to have the double stroller. We initially purchased this when we lived in Europe where cobblestone streets abound. This is a fabulous stroller…the only downside is that it is bulky and not the easiest to manuever in very small places like quaint little shops but other than that it’s well worth the $$$ to get the best stroller…one of the best baby investments we made!

It is the single best buy I have made since buying the single BOB revolution. It moves around easily and despite it’s size I was pleased to find that it is comfortable to run with. It folds up easily like the single jogger. It is worth the investment. I have a 6 month old and a 3 year old and they are both comfortable in their chairs. The only thing I wish is that there was a window in between so they can see eachother. There are shocks that make the ride smooth for them no matter what terrain we are on. The wheel locks out or rotates freely which is nice.

This stroller is an awesome double – there are only a few things I would change, but they are fixable at home. It is heavy, but you can feel confident to take it off-roading, and keep it a looooong time. There is a cargo add-on that can be used on the single, but it would be nice to add it on to the duallie, if they could make that adjustment. That way, it carries baby and all the stuff for outings. The straps are not removable, and it would be nice if they were so they could be washed (drooling, milk, food, sticky fingers, etc.). The seat also needs a waterproof and machine washable seat cushion for diaper leaks, and food messes. The cargo carrier could be bigger underneath – they should have extended the material to go up the back a bit and act like a catch-all net carrier that is easily folded up. It’s true that the seat doesn’t sit straight enough, but if you buy an eleven dollar deluxe pregnancy pillow wedge and place it behind your baby, he or she can sit up straighter. The joovy caboose all-season seat pad is a good add-on too – a lot cheaper than the one they want you to buy for the Bob Revolution. When you add the car seat adaptor, the child tray comes straight up to my daughter’s forehead, where she can hit her head. She likes to suck on it, but I think I will just remove the tray part until she is taller. Something else neat to add is a pocket organizer from wal-mart that is normally hung over a door – it can be simply cut down to size, and hung on the back. All in all, I think this stroller covers everything – it’s all terrain, only 33 pounds, very durable and high-quality, easiest to steer, and easiest to jog with. All the other ones lack some part of this package. For example, I would like a lighter, cheaper stroller, like the combi side by side, but it’s not worth the trouble to steer it, the feeling it will soon fall apart, or the fact that we can’t go everywhere we want to (all terrain), or the idea that we will soon need to buy something new after the cheap one has fallen apart.
