BOB Revolution Stroller: Brillance In Design And Performance

By Rod Markon


Parents have praised the ease with which they are able to stay fit using BOB revolution stroller since it hit the market in 2005. The earlier versions of sport utility strollers with patented suspension systems were introduced in earlier. The new model comes with frames that are easy to fold and tough wheels. There was a dramatic change with the introduction of the swiveling front wheel that ushered in the new design.

The SE and CE are the most common designs for the stroller. They offer the opportunity to customize the stroller in order to meet unique needs of each parent. All features are explained to ensure that each parent has an easy time when selecting a piece for the family.

The SE is designed for a range of terrains and equipped with large wheels to give it a rugged design. Such features allow hiking on gravel, dirt and mud. There is no trail that would be difficult to travel. Standard strollers find it difficult to tackle the off-road trails. Where the trail is too rough, you have the option of putting the baby on the back pack.

The swiveling front wheel can be locked forward to improve your stability. This feature is very helpful when you are pushing uphill. Both models include the lock-forward capability and a tracking adjustment knob to help keep the wheels rolling straight. A parking brake is another valuable feature in all of the BOB models.

Safety and comfort for your child is assured through the five point padded harness. It comes with a multi-position canopy to protect the child from the sun. The canopy is retractable to give your child full view of the trees if the path is shaded. The canopy also keeps the child dry in case there is a storm. The availability of sunscreens and large weather shields allows you to run, hike and walk on all weather.

The SE model comes with composite wheels with pneumatic tries and tubes. You have the option of using large tires to make it easier to travel on rough trails and grass. The large wheels are ideal for rough terrains.

The wheels resemble those on bicycles compared to what is found on strollers. Part of the accessories included is a carry-along tire pump. It can be bought separately and allows you to sort out the flat and continue with your stroll.

The CE BOB revolution strollers are designed for the urban setup. They come with smaller tires and a lighter body. Their suspension system makes navigation around corners, small spaces and crowded sidewalks easier. This is the most common city phenomenon.

The color ranges available for both styles include plum, black, navy and orange. A lot of storage space is also available. There are pads on handlebars with adapters that allow the use of back-facing infant seats. The duallie is a two-seater option that is available for both models.

The MSRP of the BOB Revolution stroller is around $450.00 US. Most parents feel the strollers are well worth the investment. There is really nothing else on the market that compares to the quality of a BOB.

Parenting Books: Expert Parenting Advice Versus Mentoring

By Leanna Rae Scott


I:0:T I started reading parenting books forty-four years ago. That's how long I've been parenting. But just lately I "retired" from my position of actively parenting minor children. My youngest (of thirteen) just turned twenty-one. In the beginning, I was reading parenting books to learn how to become the best mother I could be, and to learn how to eliminate the temper tantrums of my first child. I didn't find any tantrum-elimination solutions in any of the parenting books I read, however-or in any of the parenting seminars I attended either.

With my fifth child, when he was fourteen months old, I learned on my own how to eliminate his temper tantrums. (All of my babies had had been temper tantrum throwers up to that point in my parenting.) After I had learned what I needed to improve in my parenting style with my fifth child, I replicated and improved upon the techniques with my last eight babies as they were born, and totally prevented tantrums with all of them. Through this process of learning how to prevent temper tantrums, I also learned how the parenting books I'd been reading had steered me wrong in dealing with tantrums. They'd all been teaching the inevitability of temper tantrums, that all children have them, and that the best thing to do about tantrums was to ignore them. In addition to learning, with my fifth child, that it is entirely possible to eliminate and prevent temper tantrums, I also learned that ignoring tantrums was part of the cause of them.

I learned to not trust expert parenting advice automatically, without first assessing it, or testing it out. I realized right away after discovering the secret to eliminating temper tantrums with my fifth child, that I had learned something the "experts" hadn't.

I also came to appreciate that as people set themselves up as "experts" in a helping relationship, it includes a connotation that they are the ones who are functional, educated, wise, and healthy-and that the people they advise are dysfunctional, uneducated, unwise, and unhealthy. This is one more reason I don't like using the title "expert." I much prefer to view myself as a mentor (or a wise and trusted teacher or advisor). This implies that the wisdom is valid and the trust is earned, and does not imply that recipients of the mentoring are unwise.

It's been thirty-three years in the preparation (partly with getting a bachelor's degree in psychology and women's studies) and in the writing of my first parenting book, which shares what I learned about preventing and eliminating temper tantrums. This book has the kind of information I wish I could have read forty-four years ago, at the beginning of my parenting career. But it's only just now been made available.
