Introduction
The BOB 2016 Ironman Jogging Stroller runs on 3 16-inch air-filled wheels where the front wheel is locked to allow for straighter paths while on the jog. The construction is such that the frame of light aluminum allows for lighter weight and thus results in faster runs. The handlebars can be adjusted to 9 different positions to adjust to the grip and the height of the parent/caregiver. Folding and storage are easy as it folds in just 2 steps and is compact enough to be carried in the trunk of an average-sized car.
Note that since this is intended for outdoors, infants who are not able to hold their head yet are advised to be put on a car seat, harnessed and not directly on the stroller seat as there is no support for the baby’s neck. If this is to be used for running and with infants, it is advised that you get the car seat adapter.
Main Features

- The seat can be reclined to different positions with just the push of a button so that the baby can be almost fully reclining or can sit upright and see everything while on the jog
- Front and back wheels can be easily released for easy storage
