Baby Jogger FIT vs Bob Ironman,
By Monk Fan "Monk Fan" (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Baby Jogger F.I.T. Single Jogging Stroller, Kiwi/Black (Baby Product)
If you are looking at this stroller, you are probably comparing it to Bob Ironman. The new 2011 Bob Ironman is coming out soon, so the 2010 model is selling for the same price as the FIT.
You must wonder why the Baby Jogger FIT is not on sale. Well, there will not be a 2011 model for the FIT and the stroller in black/kiwi was discontinued. UPDATE - There will not be a 2012 model either. As you know, Baby Jogger and Bob are very similar. The dimensions and weight are almost identical, and they fold down to almost the same size. However, there are 3 major reasons why we chose Bob Jogger over Bob: -one-handed fold -seat height (24.5' vs 21" for Bob) and width (25.25' vs 23' for Bob) - I have uploaded 2 pictures of my 8 month old son in the Baby Jogger and Bob. You will see what I mean. -washable seat cover (you can machine wash your stroller's seat) Most parents, including myself, purchase a stroller when they are expecting a baby or when the baby is born. They tend to read reviews online and go to baby stores to try out the strollers. However, you will need the stroller for more than few months, even longer if you have a jogging stroller. Many reviewers complain about the seat height of the Bob being too short. Some 2 year old babies cannot fit in them anymore! PROS: (besides the 3 I listed above) -Canopy: It is really sturdy, multi-Position sun canopy, which provides extensive coverage so you will not have to purchase an additional canopy. It has a peek-a-boo window on top, which can be secured with velcro. -Ventilation panel: perfect for the summer to cool down the baby and it can also be covered for colder & rainy days. -Accessories: many accessories are available for this stroller including a car seat adapter for infants. -Customizable stroller: we purchased the Baby Jogger Adjustable Belly Bar which fits perfectly on the FIT and allows to hang some toys for our son. -Removable large storage basket underneath and large storage net attached to the back seat. -Steering: although this stroller has a fixed front wheel, we have no problem steering just by pulling on the handle for gentle turns and curves. -Fixed front wheel: a must have for runners. (We saw the other day a woman running with a swivel front wheel which can be fixed. She was not able to go straight and had to adjust the stroller several times. If you are a serious runner, you should consider a running stroller with a fixed front wheel like this one.) CONS: -No parent tray/cup holder (We use Buggy Buddy - holds 2 large bottles and has a compartment to store your keys, iPod and much more). -Unadjustable handlebar (still at the right height for me (5'4) and my husband (6'0)) - The center of the handle bar is at 41' from the ground. -Does no lock into standing position, but you can easily remove the wheels and put it in Baby Jogger stroller bag. -This stroller, unlike the 2011 City Mini, does not have a "seat support", so we purchased it directly from Baby Jogger for $8 + shipping for additional back support. It is also available on Amazon - Baby Jogger PE Board for use with Single City Mini Strollers - compatible with Baby Jogger FIT.

LOVE the FIT,
By
This review is from: Baby Jogger F.I.T. Single Jogging Stroller, Slate/Black (Baby Product)
My husband and I are both big runners (running 5+ times a week). We purchased the Summit XC. It was fine to walk with but when we locked the wheel to run- it would pull to the left. BJ sent us a replacement wheel. This time it pulled to the right. They then sent us a new frame- still pulled. So we decided to go with the F.I.T. I would definitely recomment the FIT to anyone who likes to run. We love it! It doesn't pull at all. Throughout it all, BabyJogger had great customer service. They were always willing to send us a new part in order to try it out. After tryint different things, they agreed that we should just switch to a different model. They even had UPS come pick up the old stroller- which meant we didn't have to stand in line to send anything back or pay! We LOVE our FIT!
The FIT is defintely for people who like to run but also still want to pack it up to go somewhere. It truly does collapse with one hand and fits easily in the trunk of a car. I think it even fits better in our trunk than our normal Graco stroller.

Best quality and best value jogging stroller!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Baby Jogger F.I.T. Single Jogging Stroller, Slate/Black (Baby Product)
I was looking for a jogging stroller and was hesitant to buy one online since I wanted to try them out first. I ended up buying a BabyJogger City Mini because it was very sturdy compared to all the others and my three year old daughter fit very well in it. Unfortunately after opening the box when I got home, I realized it's not intended for jogging (there's a big warning in the front of the instruction manual) despite being advertised as such by the store where I purchased it.
I really liked the design and quality of the City Mini, so I decided to look at other models by the Baby Jogger brand and found the FIT and promptly ordered it. It's the same basic design of the City Mini however it has larger wheels with pneumatic tires which make it more suitable for jogging, along with a hand brake and safety wrist strap. I'm very impressed with this stroller and I wish I could have found it sooner! It's ideal for taller babies; my three year old didn't fit well in any of the other joggers I looked at but she fits perfectly in the FIT with some room to grow. The seating position seems very comfortable based on my daughter's happiness riding in it, and can even be adjusted to lie flat for sleeping. It's very sturdy and stable at jogging speeds, and I am confident taking this on long runs. The sun shade is also a great design that folds far over, protecting your baby from intense sun. Another big advantage is the ease of folding it. You simply unsnap two safety straps from the frame and then lift a handle strap on the seat and it folds in half making it very compact to fit in a trunk or to carry inside your house when you're done. I didn't think much of this feature, however this convenience of folding is probably the most important thing for my wife and she's very impressed with this. I would recommend this for anyone looking for a *real* jogging stroller. It's much better than any other joggers including those at higher price tiers. 2115|R2KVN993DVOY5M;2115|R2CVCU6F8BY7YO;2115|R3QX3U0VW4LDPI;
