I hope this helps you make your decision! I was leaning toward the Baby Jogger Summit, but the BOB won out in the end.As you know, they are really, really similar. The dimensions and weight are almost identical, and they fold down to almost the same size. The main reason I thought I would end up keeping the Baby Jogger is the one-handed fold. What could be easier? You can fold the stroller and throw it in your trunk while holding your baby in the other arm.Other reasons the Summit almost won me over:1. It locks shut when folded whereas the BOB does not. You can use the wrist strap on the BOB to secure it shut, but it doesn't have an automatic lock.2. Better sun canopy on the Summit. It's really sturdy and opens at multiple positions. It has a smallish peek-a-boo window on top that secures easily with velcro, and two ventilation windows on the side that secure with velcro. The sun canopy on the BOB is just as large, but doesn't feel as sturdy and won't stay open in as many positions (i.e., partially open). The peek-a-boo window is larger on the BOB, but the means of securing it is not as well engineered, and there are no ventilation windows.3. More headroom in the Summit. It has an inch and a half more headroom, which is technically not that much, but the canopy on the BOB kind of hangs down the seat back when it's not in use and unless you tuck it up, it cuts off several inches of room.4. The seat in the Summit. It's slightly more upright and more padded. The recline mechanism is much better than the one on the BOB. To the BOB's credit, its seat back is much more rigid and supportive. One complaint in reviews of Baby Jogger strollers is the lack of back support.5. Shocks. The Summit has shocks on every wheel whereas the BOB has only rear-wheel shocks.6. Accessories. You can buy a belly bar for the Summit, and a rider-board for the back that a second child can stand on. The BOB car seat adapter comes with a snack tray, but from what I've read, it's too high to be useful as such.So why on earth did I pick the BOB??? Well despite all the lovely facts above, the biggest thing that sold me on the BOB is that it's narrower. The back wheels are noticeably closer together under the seat. That makes it much easier to maneuver. Even just pushing it around my kitchen I could tell a big difference. The BOB felt so much better to push. The handlebar is nice and padded and it turns on a dime. I can imagine pushing the Summit through doorways or aisles would be trickier because of how far out the wheels stick.In addition:1. The fold on the BOB. While not quite as simple as the Summit, it's nearly there. You have one extra step with the BOB - flipping down the handlebar. Then you pull up on a handle just like the Summit and voila. BUT... the BOB is so much easier to open. You just pull on the handlebar and the thing flies open easily. I was struggling to get the Summit open and upright.2. Alignment. The BOB has a front wheel alignment mechanism. That's important if you plan to jog with it in the fixed wheel position so you can adjust the wheel if the stroller is drifting to one side.3. The basket underneath. The baskets are the same size, but it's nearly impossible to access the basket on the Summit. There is no way I could fit my medium size diaper bag in it, not because the basket is too small, but because of the way it's nested in the frame of the stroller. I had to squish, but my diaper bag fit easily into the BOB basket.4. The handbrake. I guess some people would see it as a plus, but I didn't like the handbrake on the Summit. It just sticks up awkwardly from the handle. The BOB doesn't have a handbrake.And, most importantly, like I said above, the BOB's narrower profile and maneuverability were what won me over in the end. It just felt better to push.
70 of 71 people found the following review helpful.My 4 year old is 45 inches tall. Finding a stroller that would accomodate a child this tall was a great challenge. We do a lot of Disney and other long walking activities, and it was just not feasible to expect him to last all day on his feet under those conditions.I read reviews for 2 1/2 months and had narrowed it down to BOB Revolution and the Baby Jogger Summit XC. I decided on the Baby Jogger simply because it has 2 inches more headroom. I have had the stroller since March 2010 now and it has gone on many trips already.Pros (for me anyway):By far the smoothest rolling stroller I have ever pushed. The shocks are just amazing. You feel it give with every stride!My son fits in it perfectly. His knees aren't at his chest, his feet are not dangling, and his head has room even with the canopy fully extended.HUGE canopy!Turns on a dimeSeems amazingly madeMy son loves itHand BrakeSwivel and locking front wheelAwesome accessories available. I purchased the pump, childs tray, adult concole with MP3 hookup and the travel bag.Great to be checked as luggage while in the travel bag.With the wheels removed, it will fit in just about any trunk.The wheels remove VERY easilyThe one hand fold is truly one hand fold.Cons:The mere size of it. It will not fit through security. It has to be handled like a wheel chair, which is fine.Just allow more time to get through securityWhen folded with the accessories, or even the wheels it is very heavy and bulkyA little difficult to unfold because of the size and weightThe basket is neither a pro nor con. For a jogger it is good sized, and worked better if accessed from the sides. There is also a pouch behind the seat that holds quite a bit.I absolutely love this stroller. I am very happy with my choice.UPDATE 06-16-11It has been over a year since I purchased this stroller and my son is now 5 and 48 inches tall. He fits wonderfully in the stroller. He is 49 pounds and the stroller pushes and turns like he is 10 pounds, even on carpet.I still love this stroller as much as the day I bought it. As one other poster commented, you can remove the wheels very easily to fit the stroller through the security scanner. It has been to Disneyland more than 8 times, to Disney World, to Las Vegas, Sea World, Lego Land and the zoo many many times. It looks and acts like brand new.The BOBs of the same age look tattered, especially at the foot plate which they have now changed to plastic for good reason for 2011.Not every child that just turned 5 is 48 inches tall, but at theme parks, children need strollers through age 6 for an all day adventure. Simply having a stroller that can and will last until you no longer need it makes it worth the money paid.I am a 48 year old mother of a 5 year old so he will be my last, but if I did ever have the need for a stroller again, it would be a Baby Jogger Summit hands down.
31 of 33 people found the following review helpful.I love my baby jogger summit xc. I looked at many jogging strollers and almost didn't look at this because of the high cost. However, I'm so glad I went with this stroller.Pros:* The front swivel wheel is a huge help when navigating around the park or stores.* The ability to lock it into place while jogging is great too.* It is easy to control one handed* The tether strap and hand break add safety* The stroller folds very small for a jogger (smaller than my travel system stroller)* The wide wheel base makes for a steady, stable ride* Shocks allow you to run and baby to be comfortable, it also allows the stroller to go off the pavement (we took ours on an uneven walking path through the woods and it handled the roots and rocks well)* Very easy to fold* Pretty big basket under the stroller (compared to other joggers) as well as a mesh storage space behind the seat.* Reclines for sleeping baby* Huge canopy covers most of the baby from the sun.Cons:* If you plan on using this stroller as an everyday stroller, it is very difficult to get through some stores with it (I have knocked over a couple of displays trying to get the back wheels through the isles).* No parent tray or child tray (both can be bought separately, I bought a jolly jumper parent tray that works perfectly around the hand break).
