Better Than A BOB -I Promise!, June 26, 2009
Why are people so 'in love' with their BOB Strollers? Personally, I believe it is because they are trendy -nothing else. Baby Jogger City Classic is better than a BOB and here are the reasons why: the handle is adjustable (the BOB's is not), the seat is removable and washable (the BOB's is not), the stroller folds down with Baby Jogger's patented 1-step handle (the BOB folds down in 2 steps), the area where your toddler's feet go is hard black plastic, which can be wiped clean (the BOB's foot area is material and gets gross & nasty because it can't be washed), your baby can almost lay down flat (the BOB doesn't recline that flat). So with all these reasons why do people continue to have a shallow love affair with BOB Strollers? Anyways, I love my stroller! It is so easy to push and I love that the shade cover is extremely large. I never bought the car seat adapter because the seat reclines to almost flat; with the shade pulled down it acts like a cocoon! This stroller is so cool that it should have its own theme music!
I also owned the double jogger and it was a fantastic stroller, too.

Best all around stroller out there!, July 16, 2009
I love this stroller! If you are only going to purchase one stroller this is the one to get. I live in an urban area and mostly walk and jog on paved paths, however sometimes I take the stroller on dirt paths and it is just fine. I have used both the Bob and the Phil and Ted's stroller and by far the baby jogger is easier to use, lighter, and handles better. I love how easy it folds up, I can do it with one hand. It's so easy to take the stoller apart to put the material in the washing machine. It is well made and durable. I did have a small problem and the company replaced the frame immediately. Great customer service.

Great Stroller, but......, January 7, 2010
This review is from: Baby Jogger City Classic Single Stroller, Red & Black (Baby Product)
I really do love this stroller and I will say the quick fold mechanism is AWESOME. I see these other parents struggling to fold their strollers and all I have to do is pull the strap and BAM! It's folded. So Cool! The first week I got it, ppl were asking what kind it was and where they could also get one. I have noticed many ppl having issues with the stroller's alignment when they try to run with it. I found a reviewer who said that on many of these the front wheel peg was not mounted square when it was manufactured and after he contacted Baby Jogger for the replacement parts he fixed the problem and the stroller now tracks straight. He is able to run without any more issues (his wheel rims are still not straight). Overall I do love my stroller, but the wheels being uneven plus the square mounting issue of the front wheel are quality control issues that keep this stroller from being perfect.
P O S I T I V E S:
-Fabric
-Padding
-Adjustable handlebar
-One touch to change front wheel from swivel to stationary
-Seat Tilt
-Quick Fold
-Smooth Ride
-Baby Jogger customer service
M I N U S E S:
-Wheel rims are NOT straight and you immediately notice that if you look at them when you use the stroller (It doesn't impact the use of the stroller when walking or running-unless your are a sprinter:)
-Under seat storage is tough to get to which a child in your stroller.
-My 3 yr old is almost too tall for the seat
-There is not yet a car seat adaptor for one of the most popular infant seats on the market (Chico Keyfit)
-All the accesories you have to buy (cupholders, bags, etc) make an expensive stroller even more so.
