BOB Gear Alterrain Pro

BOB's top jogger adds SmoothShox suspension, a hand brake and a zip-top cargo basket with five extra pockets. The handlebar runs from 31 to 48 inches, the widest range published anywhere in this catalog, which makes it the one to look at when two parents differ a lot in height.

What it does well

  • Handlebar range of 31 to 48 inches, the widest published here
  • Hand brake, which the cheaper BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 lacks
  • BOB rates it a one-hand standing fold, with a lock lever to keep it shut
  • 75 lb child limit, 10 lb more than BOB's Wayfinder

What it gives up

  • 32.3 lb, heavy even for a jogger
  • Folds long: 39.3 inches with the wheels on
  • $829.99; among joggers only the Veer Switch & Jog and Thule Glide 3 cost more
  • Stroller seat not for jogging until 8 months

What you lift

32.3 lb as BOB Gear weighs it.
