BOB Gear Alterrain Pro All-Weather Jogging Stroller – Black

I've had my BOB Alterrain for three months. It has great storage and is effortless to push while running. That said, the hand brake feels low quality, and the suspension has been squeaky—disappointing for a brand known for durability. Overall, it gets the job done, but I expected better.

We received this at our baby shower and our little girl just turned one. The only maintenance I’ve had to do is put a little air in the tires when the weather got cold. When she was a newborn and even now at the 96th percentile for height this stroller has fit her at every stage. I cannot even tell you how many miles we have put on this feels like 150,000. But it has served us well and still looks brand new. One thing I like is that the shade canopy can’t be put up a bunch of different ways to keep her in the shade But still have airflow. I also like how safe the harnesses but watch babies fingers when you click it because it is strong and could be a pinch hazard if a parent is not watching out. That said I do not think any single thing should be taken about this, except the height of the tray apparently is way too high based on reviews. But I don’t have the tray so I wouldn’t know. Anyways, I am 511 and my husband is 6 foot four and we both love the potential height of the adjustable handle as well. We have beat the crap out of this over this past year, almost daily!! like not taking care of it at all just throwing the baby in and going and like I said it still looks brand new. We’ve hardly even wiped it down.

Honestly this is extremely overrated and over priced. Won’t even get a year of use in because my soon to be 2 year old barely fits in height wise. Extremely disappointed. I’ve searched for away to adjust the height of the seat and the only videos or information is lower the seat into a reclined position, my son want to look around on our adventures not lay down. Plus you’re not even supposed be jogging or going off road with baby less than a year, so you might get a year of use max. So very disappointing, especially buying new. Waste of money!

I have waited over 2 years to write this review. We have used this stroller exclusively since our son was born and recommend it highly. I purchased this stroller with the intent on jogging/running again once our son was born. Due to changes in health and lifestyle, I have rarely used it to run, but walked year-round every day with this stroller for 2 1/2 years. Our family runs as a single-car household, so this stroller has become our second vehicle We live in a 4 season Canadian town with plenty of hills, trails, and terrain changes. This stroller can handle almost everything. With the front wheel in the locked position, we can push through several inches of snow(provided I have proper snow cleats on). The hand break is especially useful for us as our town is built in a steep valley. The break allows us to stop quickly and to stay in control when going downhill. Durability is very important to us. We live tough and use our gear until it is worn out. This stroller is built to last. We stored our stroller outdoors undercover for the first 1 1/2 years we owned it, and since we have moved, now store it in our garage. It looks nearly as good as new. Nothing is faded or worn, it just needs a quick clean to keep the tires and breaks from building up with grime from the dirt roads and salt. All in all, we are very pleased with this stroller. The quality and functionality are truly impressive. We hope to get a few more years of use out of our BOB and then pass it along to the next family who is ready to start their all-terrain adventure.

Baby loves the smooth ride. My biggest gripe with this stroller and ALL strollers is the sunshade doesn’t extend all the way to the end of the footbed, so my baby’s feet/legs aren’t protected from the sun. Big missed opportunity in my opinion. We’ve also had trouble with the front wheel when walking in unlocked position - it gets stuck and sometimes fishtales back and forth.

It's a nice stroller, but not worth the price. I've had to replace tubes in the tires at least 10 times in a year, but that has more to do with goatshead thorns being everywhere around our neighborhood. The first time I had to change the front tire though, the outer tire was warped just from finishing our walk after it going flat.

The sunshade on the BOB stroller is truly remarkable! I was amazed by how effortlessly it could be set up and folded down. The seat recline functionality is also superb, allowing for comfortable on-the-go napping. It delivers an incredibly smooth ride and handles various surfaces like pavement, grass, and trails with ease. The rotating front wheel is a game changer for everyday use, but I appreciate the option to lock it for running purposes. Overall, this is a top-notch choice for parents seeking convenience, versatility, and performance.

I bought this stroller brand spanking new when the model first came out and was available in Canada. For a TRUE Canadian winter and rest of our short seasons, so this was in mid spring 2020 for my third baby. We are an outdoors family, rugged stroller to hold up like my previous much loved Bob stroller did, but I parted with it too early (before I knew I was having a third). At first I was completely in love with this stroller, it was/is the ultimate 'truck/suv' stroller. Weightless to push around on the rough uneven terrain, went through wet and powdery snow like a hot knife in butter, oily mud-gravel-dirt-unpacked trails - THIS is the perfect stroller. Complete with a hand brake for going down steep hills or getting too close to something, plus the great shocks for the uneven terrain. This stroller performs amazing and was well worth the high price tag to make carting the littlest boy around to keep up with his older two brothers, the dog and outdoorsy mom. At the time my only complaint about the design was that the seat folds outwards exposing the seat to the elements or debris collection when compacted, so always needed to brush it out and clean it. I did/do use my old Bob sherpa pad from previous model I owned and it has helped with this tremendously. However, and initially I chalked it up to being new and kinda stiff hoping it would get a little easier over time, and at first the kid was too young to fight as much about being put into the stroller so he had the patience to wait for me to struggle - the buckle is insanely HARD to click in on one side. Doesn't matter what side, but always the second side strap to click into. As a mom to three VERY active and VERY high energy boys this is a recipe for chaos and disaster as the fighting with a very mobile 9 month at the time to present and now at 2.5yrs, can easily escape and run off while I am struggling to click him into the buckle. He was almost hit by a car because I couldn't get the buckle done up fast enough or stop him from escaping. This one piece of safety is crucial to be consistently in very easy to use working order - EVERY parent with kids in and past toddlerhood understands this I am sure. Next piece I am frustrated with, mostly for resale value of an expensive stroller - the gorgeous beautiful waterproof UV fabric used. Mine is the beautiful shade of blue, if this makes a difference. The fabric coating on the underside of canopy where it folds is very cracked. I use this stroller ALL.THE.TIME and the canopy is folded up more than it is not in the last almost two years, and where the fabric folds is all cracked there. Canopy is still functioning to my knowledge, as in it is still waterproof and we've never had any burns or heat (I do live in snowy cold Alberta) build up under the canopy when it is open out for naps, but visually it looks awful. When I got this stroller covid closures where in full effect, so the company was on a hiatus or something and stopped with the design or attempt to release any more useful attachments, I even emailed asking when or if the trays would be released in the near future. This was very disappointing to not be able to get a snack tray for this stroller, as it would have helped me with the buckle issue. As much as I would still love to have a snack tray to add on, my kid is now 2.5yrs and we are working on transitioning away from a stroller for shorter excursions. So now it would almost feel like a waste to buy one. Next is the knob for fixing the pin into a locked front wheel - I attached a picture for this one. It snapped right off like cheaply mixed with fillers steel - this is NOT solid steel. Married to a highly skilled welder who refused to weld back together because it was not solid metal - even though he could've fixed it. This happened at the beginning of this past winter, stroller was in regular use for 2.5yrs at this point. There was nothing out of the ordinary done, went to move the piece as normal with a normal amount of gentle ease. I have to carry around the piece to unlock the wheel when I miss steering it correctly chasing after the boys. On the contrary, it is also quite difficult to engage when I need the front wheel locked too. I am really super unimpressed that this piece broke off. This is why I do not love this stroller anymore. It is a big deal to need to steer in a specific way so that the pin to lock the wheel doesn't drop down while steering, mixed with the buckle issues for a busy active family and I can't give this stroller the 5 stars I initially wanted to give it. As an all weather, all terrain stroller this is a 5 star phenomenal stroller, I don't know if it was because it was first generation of its style or what, but the wear and tear is not the greatest for what the name has stood up for since their strollers came out, in my experience. This was not my first Bob stroller, and I spent the money on this one expecting the same quality and durability, hoping the poorly folding/open canopy issue was fixed (and that issue is!).

I was so excited to get this jogger stroller since I’ve been trying to get back into running after having my baby. But after using it twice, the rear wheel/axle started started squeaking. If I lift up on one side while jogging it stops momentarily but returns as soon as I set it down. The rear wheels don’t hold air either; I’ve unfortunately not used this as I had planned because of the embarrassing and disruptive noise and the fact that I have to air the tires every time I do attempt to use it. Very disappointed. *I was told to use wd-40 on the axle which worked for about 2 min before the noise returned.

We went from a second hand 10+ year old BoB Revolution to this new “flagship” model. I was expecting a vast improvement with a decade of development between the models, but was greatly disappointed. The quality was severely lacking in comparison to our old and worn out stroller. After one walk we returned it and went with the new revolution. Let’s start with the good: It’s heavy and that makes this thing very stable in a straight line and in turns. It has creature comfort improvements such as nice padding in the seat area, a large canopy, a magnetic view cover, one handed recline, and an adjustable handle. All of these are also present on the revolution 3.0. The Bad and downright Ugly: Brakes. Yes, the entire selling point of this stroller for me was the biggest let down. First of all, they ditched a working aluminum lever for a cheap plastic lever that came from the factory with a cross threaded and disbonded barrel adjuster. The cable routing is where things really get bad. They use an oddly placed junction box to split it into two cables and it makes the difference in cable drag from one side to the other a nightmare. After an hour of fiddling with individual brake adjustments the best I could get was a right brake that grabs first and then a left that quickly locks up while the right side is still barely engaged. That makes it unpredictable and it constantly pulls a turn when you use the brake. Hold on to your child, this thing is dangerous going downhill! The parking brake works fine, but is difficult to engage. The improved, longer travel suspension is merely squeaky springs inside those shiny “shocks”. It’s less plush than the Revolution and lacks the adjustment for big kids. The weight is a lot and it’s noticeable. It’s far more nose heavy and unbalanced than the revolution.This makes it difficult to lighted the front end and make turns with the nose wheel locked. The “XL” storage area barely fits our diaper bag whereas it fits easily in the revolution. The fabric is also very light and feels as if it would be easily torn. I didn’t even attempt to zip up the zipper that appears to be the most dainty and fragile zipper I’ve ever seen. This is a major step back for BOB. In the end, we went with the Revolution 3.0. I was also astonished to see many cost saving measures that make it of lesser quality than the classic Revolution before Britax bought BoB. Many metal parts are now plastic and most of the metal stamped pieces are made cheaper without lightening holes. The new model is heavier and much of that may be due to the increased creature comforts. I would like to see the quality of the old Bob on the revolution with a working brake system.

We bought two of these strollers over a year ago for both our boys (upgraded one from the Revolution). At the time, BOB said they were anticipating the tray to be released within a few months. We are many months later and there is still not a tray feature for this stroller. Had I known that BOB was not going to make a tray for these, we would never have bought these and would have just bought another Revolution. Additionally, I find that both of the Allterrain Pros squeak and creak more than the Revolution ever did.

We absolutely LOVE this stroller. We definitely haven't had any of the issues the 1* reviewers left. No bent wheels, hold air just fine, folds great, super smooth ride. My 2 year old is 38" tall and 35lbs and he has loads of room to grow. Sleeps great in it when we need a stroller nap. The only disappointment is they claimed they were going to release a snack tray and that still hasn't happened yet.

The stroller is decent but I’m giving it only one star because of the lack of a snack tray option. I bought it in the middle of 2020 with the notion that a snack tray option would be coming soon and it has not. Honestly because it doesn’t have a snack tray I never use the stroller and I am considering buying a different one and selling this one. So disappointed

I received the BOB Alterrian Pro as a gift from a friend. The stroller is certainly comfortable for the baby, but it is heavy, seems to have a lot of resistance when running and squeaks like a mouse for an entire activity. I tried everything to eliminate the squeaks, but the next day it’s back. Also the stroller has a lot of resistance when pushing compared to other jogging strollers I own and have tried. For the price of the stroller I would expect a much smoother ride and less annoying squeaks.

I love this stroller. I would say I wasn’t an avid runner pre-baby but it’s been the best way to get the weight off. I love that this ride was smooth enough for nap time laid back and relaxing soft seat and comfortable for baby but also has great covered storage on the bottom. Not your everyday out in the town stroller. But we love this on for everyday exercising as a family! Only complaints are: weight and the Covid delays in production which included no car seat adapter for awhile.

I wasn't sure if the pro was worth it at first but over time I've seen how much easier and beefier this version is compared to the step down model that almost everyone else has. It really does work very well on rocky bumpy trails! I even found out what the brake was for when going down a mountain path that was pretty tricky - the brake made it a breeze. Off the trail the brake seems like a small luxury you can usually live without, on the trail it's absolutely essential for the steep downwards sections. It's amazing piece of engineering. Oh and by the way, I got to see how fantastic this company is at standing behind their product. The bob I got first had two back wheels that were stuck on and would not quick release off. Of course I didn't even realize this till a year later when I finally went to use the feature. Called them up and the tech guru said she'd send out a whole new model out to me (thank you Molly!).

Got this stroller when we had our first child and completely liberated us allowing us to keep a similar outdoors and active lifestyle. A little big for traveling but well worth it to bring everywhere. Goes great on pavement and trails. Highly recommend.

I love the BOB Alterrain Pro. It's a great company with quality products. However, there is no option for a snack tray. This should be made abundantly clear to not buy the BOB snack tray and that there is no snack tray compatibility. The side pockets are not sufficient to replace a snack tray. I understand this was likely a safety concern for running or off road travel. However, the stroller is not always used in these situations, when it would be very helpful to have a snack/toy tray.

Took it out one time and it squeaks really loud it’s actually embarrassing

Love the stroller itself although it is a bit heavy. There are literally No accessories available for this stroller. No snack tray or car seat adapter, however all of the accessories are advertised for “bob single jogging strollers. Every time I speak with BOB, I am told they plan on releasing them soon... If this would Have been disclosed I would have purchased a different stroller.
