Anyone own a BOB?

[Liopleurodon]

A very kind friend of mine is shipping her BOB Ironman over from the US to me...she no longer needs it. I am very very excited- our Nipper is not up to the job anymore.
Is it easy to buy replacement parts and accessories for it?
How do you get on with your BOB? Please tell me more about yours...I have about a week until mine arrives !

we have one. i got it off ebay for £50 about 5 years ago. we haven't had to get any bits for it, our nipper double raincovers fits it fairly loosely.

we've both run with the bob jogger and DH uses it daily as a SAHD. it's a man-pram.

absolutely no use round the shops are there are no swivel wheels but that's what maclarens are for. the bob goes off road, beach, fields etc.

get a hand strap if you're going running.

I have the Revolution and it is fab, nothing compares to how light it is to push. Massive seat could fit both my boys in it.

Downpoints though are its massive folded, have to get custom footmuff as nothing here fits, raincover is ugly (Powertrack one fits fab I believe though) and not seen spare parts here. I haven't needed any parts either though (touch wood!)

Thank you for the replies. I'm counting down the days now to the delivery date of BOB!
DS is currently in a Nipper for off roading, jogging, geocaching etc, but he doesn't seem overly happy in it. The BOB seems like an excellent choice.
