I'm wondering if I should get a compact stroller in addition to this one? is this stroller to big to go into stores? Small stores like at the mall?

The stroller is a bit too big for shopping. I generally use it for running and for walking trails (excellent for trails - a true off road vehicle). I've had trouble getting around inside stores when using my Bob and sales associates generally get a little nervous when they see you coming. It's so big that they think you'll knock something down. We have a compact stroller as well and they both have great features and benefits. For shopping, leave the Bob at home.

My son is 5 1/2 months old now, and we still occasionally use the stroller base that his car seat snaps into. However, if we have to take a stroller in a store, my preference is the BOB because it's much more comfortable for our little guy. I do not think it's too bulky either. It's true that it's not the smallest stroller on the market, but in a shopping situation where comfort for the baby and maneuverability of the stroller is key, I think the BOB is the perfect. The only downfall is that it does take up a decent amount of trunk space, so if you have a huge shopping trip planned, and a smaller vehicle, that could be an issue.

It works for us, but it is by no means a small stroller. You might still invest in a cheap umbrella stroller, but I do think you can make it work. Maybe start with this and see if you end up needed a small one too. Umbrella strollers can be very affordable.

It's not to bad for malls. But I would get a compact one for small shoppes or going to the DR. It's pretty bulky for some situations. I like the stroller though for parks and walks.

While I've used it in the mall, I would recommend getting a compact umbrella for shopping.

My only regret is that I did not purchase this stroller sooner! Perfect for stores, trains, buses, airports, amusement parks, trails, roads... you name it! If you want the best get one, period!

It is a strollet for outside mostly, and it does take up space. I think having a smaller more compact one for stores may be a smart idea.

It is a rather large stroler,but not too big. I expect it might have problems in stores like Spencer's Gifts.

Yes I think this would be too small. We love this for airport travel b/c it is so light and compact. Also I can easily manage it in and out of the trunk for quick errands around town. However, our guy is a smaller 2year old and just under 30lbs. I find there is ample room in the seat for him, but not enough length in the straps to accommodate much more growth. Don't have any other suggestions. This is a stable stroller with great wheels - for the price I could not be happier.

Height will not be a problem, my stroller is on it's last leg but it has served us well, especially all the many trips to Disneyland and malls. This stroller was my preferred choice over our big twin Aprica that sits in our garage and collects dust. The stroller is light and compact and we have had it about 3 years.

To be completely honest, I have NO idea why I bought a double stroller. We've used it but two times, maybe and I find it's only useful for twins or other multiples. I have the cover, unused, and buried in a closet somewhere. A baby bjorn and regular stroller will be just as sufficient.

I think that you will have to hunch over. This stroller is not very tall. I am 5'5 and the height is good for me without hunching but anyone any taller may have a problem.

Yes I definitely would. I use this stroller everyday. This difference I have noticed from my friends strollers is the ease of it. Its really easy to move around with. Eben if you dont plan on jogging this is definitely a great stroller.

Hi. Did you two purchase the stroller? If so, I'd love to hear how you rate the stroller? Is it worth the price? Has it held up well over time? Any annoyances? Good customer service? Thanks!

It really depends on your lifestyle. If you live in the city and have to carry the stroller up a few flights of stairs into your apartment, it might not be a great everyday stroller. If you live in the suburbs and go for lots of walks (especially on trails or unpaved surfaces) then it might be a good call. Personally, I would not want to lug this in and out of the trunk of my car for everyday errands, but I love keeping it in the garage for walks (and runs someday).

I personally think you would want something a little bigger. Sorry that I don't have any suggestions as this is the only umbrella stroller I am familiar with and I do love it but for a smaller child.

This is going to sound stupid but i'll say it anyway. The front end of the stroller is so light that you can push down on the handle and lift the stroller off the ground while you jog. I do it all the time because of the wobbly non-lockable front wheel. I'm not fond of it. But it is what it is. Other than that, I think the stroller is a good one. Just can't have kids that are too big (about 4 yrs old is max) because the belts don't allow for large kids, nor is there much leg room. My 4 yr. old boy (sorta big for his size) and slightly tiny/thin 2-1/2 yr. old girl are shoulder-to-shoulder in the stroller. Good thing they don't fight too much.....

I would say it's just a little wider than any other single stroller. Nowhere near as a wide as a side-by-side. One thing I hadn't considered before buying this stroller was with a side-by-side you can't fit through the aisles of many kids' clothing stores. So glad I bought this stroller!

Target is accurate. It's quite a bit bigger than an average stroller. It's meant for rough terrain and jogging. If you're looking for something convenient and smaller for when you are doing grocery shopping and things like that, I would not recommend this one.

Define small? I have a 2003 Honda Accord 4 door and this fits fine in the trunk with room to spare. You may want to go to the bob website and watch some of the videos or perhaps youtube? They show the stroller being folded up and being put into a trunk, perhaps it would help you seeing it done to know if it may fit in your car?

Absolutely! It is my only stroller and I use it all the time. It's great for the mall etc because the front wheel swivels amazingly and it is such a smooth riding stroller.its a breeze to push with one hand as well. I am a big fan of this stroller!

Hi, I absolutely love my stroller. Everything is build tight and tough. I didn't buy the B.O.B. due to the lack of support the fabric seems to have and the issues my friends have had. I hope this helped.

This is a good stroller for malls, airports, things of that nature...not grass, dirt, or off road. If you need something more flexible like that I would recommend a BoB or higher end stroller for your purposes.
