Great jogger, May 7, 2009
I bought this stroller a few months ago and I have to say that I am totally impressed with it. I considered the double BOB but this stroller was a better choice hands down. I had a BOB single but always felt like my little boy was hunched over a bit. This stroller has a higher back so he has plenty of growing room. It's great on all terrain. It has front and back shocks and it is just a comfortable ride. I have my kids in it for 1-2 hours at a time and they seem to be very comfortable. I really like the quick fold and I also like that the handle bar sits high up. It doesn't adjust but it is high enough that I never have issues with kicking the back of it. Neither does my husband and he is 6'2. I just love it and would recommend this double to anyone. It's awesome!

Summit Double Experience after 6 months, May 2, 2010
Like many, I've owned a Bob Revolution single for 3 years. It's been an excellent stroller, however decided to buy the Summit Double based on a few gripes I had with Bob. In the end, I traded some gripes for other new gripes and not sure I'd do it again.
Bob Revolution Single gripes:
1) Not enough head room
2) Fixed snack tray/carseat adapter - screws in, so not easily removed to change from toddler stroller to baby stroller. Nice to have a simple way to change in the event you're just taking one kid.
Baby Jogger Summit 360 Double gripes:
1) stroller collapses in a way that if you have the carseat adapter installed, it makes for a very awkward shape and quite large. We have a full size SUV and it takes up a lot of room and my wife can barely handle it folded. The Bob collapses like a shell, with the carseat adapter inside the shell.
2) the two front wheels make for better stability, but not as easy to turn/maneuver as the Bob, especially when you have it loaded up.
3) the handlebar angle and placement result in an occasional kick to the rear axle. This problem will only be an issue if you're tall. The Bob handle places you farther away from the stroller.
My wife wants me to sell this and get a Bob, so I may be changing soon. To add, the brake on the Summit is now broken. In Baby Jogger's defense, this may have been caused by our new nanny. Worked fine and now won't hold the stroller. The brake on the Bob seems to be a bit sturdier compared to the Baby Jogger. I will call them to get fixed...
In the end, they're both very well made and compared to my 3yr old Bob, the Baby Jogger is very refined in terms of the quality materials and fit/finish. The gripes above though are significant and very unfortunate for what could be an excellent product.

Very Well Engineered Stroller, September 23, 2010
We own a single BOB and liked it, but the difference between this Baby Jogger Summit 360 (needed for the 2nd child) and the BOB are like night and day. I'm an engineer and everything about the Baby Jogger is superior, with the possible exception of the brake lock system and under storage (which is just small). The brake lock system is more elegant on the Baby Jogger, but not as robust as the Bob's version.
There are many aspects of the Baby Jogger that I like, but my favorites are the ride quality for the occupants due to a great shock absorber system, ease of pushing, quality of the wheels and that they can be quickly removed and re-installed, that it collapses so much more easily, that I can put this in the van easier than I can the single BOB, that the separate canopies have two windows (per canopy) for the caregiver to see in and that they move down so far in front of the the child's face and in so many gradations, and the child foot rest area is more rugged and easier to clean.
