Stroller Opinion - Bob Revolution vs Summit X3 - Singles

[JJ2017]

My daughter will be 48 inches and 55 pounds. Both of these singles say up to 48 inches and 70 pounds. Just curious on opinions. Our two biggest wishes for strollers are the underneath storage areas (bigger the better) and the ease of folding. The Bob has an air filled back wheel (no clue why that is a good/not good thing). Thanks!

Air filled tires give a smoother ride same as cars and bikes. Of course you'll probably need to re-fill them from time to time.

you think i will need to re-fill during the disney trip - 4 days in the parks?

I highly doubt it. My Bob stroller is 3 years old and the tires have just started acting up where they need constant refilling.

I doubt it. The pavements there are pretty smooth even when aggregate is added .

FWIW, I'd say neither. You can get a stroller with all the storage you need and super simple folding for 1/3 the price of those things, or less. Any Wal-Mart or Target carry them. Jogging strollers are pretty common, and inexpensive. IMO, those things are just ridiculously overpriced and don't offer any advantage. Spend that extra money in the parks.

Guess I didn’t say this in the original post but this is just to rent while we are there. Don’t want one more thing with us at the airport.

We just finished a BOB rental. Under storage is small but I think that’s typical of all the strollers available for rent.

Folding it sucks. It’s huge and heavy and most important, super awkward to carry when folded, and it sucks on the bus but is a complete nightmare in a tram. I saw people with other rental strollers folded up and was very jealous.

If you are going to rent, apparently you need to make a reservation before 10/1 or you will have to meet somebody to pick it up. Disney is changing the rules for drop offs. Ugh!

I wouldn't do a Bob, they're a pain to fold. Go with the City Mini option.
