BOB Revolution Stroller

We call it the Cadillac. Because simply calling it a "stroller" would be like calling John Lennon a "crooner." Generic titles do not apply to persons, places, or things known for revolutions. And I'm talking here about the new Revolution, from BOB (a.k.a. Beast of Burden), the ultimateand I'm no tommy-gunner when it comes to the use of superlativeswalking-and/or- jogging-while-baby-transporting all-terrain vehicle. Just look at this thing: It's got shocks, a fixed or 360-degree-swiveling front tire, a flip-down brake at foot level, built-in stowage down below, and killer accessories out the proverbial wazoo (I recommend the $20 handlebar console, $40 weather shield, and $65 sun shield). Plus, believe it or not, the thing breaks down (easily, brilliantly) to the size of a standard suitcase, for easy storage. Now, before you head off-road, you may want to upgrade the tubes; if you live in arid climes, "goatheads" and other spiny seed casings can leave you deflated. But puncture-resistant tubes and a self-sealing flat-fixer liquid will ease your mind. And, yeah, this thing ain't cheap. But, hey, if you wanna roll in a Caddy, you gotta drop a little bank. $359; bobtrailers.com
