Which jogger for my needs...opinions?

[dianna]

I'm definitely wanting to buy a jogging stroller in the next couple weeks, although it will really be mostly used for long neighborhood walks, not actual jogging or running. I'm just looking for a nice stroller that will handle well on neighbohood sidewalks, roads and grass as we go to the park. It might be used occassionally on a trip somewhere for something with more terrain, but its not really a deciding factor.

Anyway, I'm really stuck between the MBUS, BOB Revolution, BJCS, and Dreamer Design. I'm 5'3", and DS is 18 months old. One of my concerns is the recline. DS likes to see what is going on, so I'm a little worried about something that is too reclined in its most upright postion.

Any ideas for me?

ETA: I bit the bullet and bought the BOB! :)

I'd look at the MBUS. I'm 5'4", and I use it for the same purpose, mainly walking. It is great. I'd check the handle height of the other strollers. That was one of the deciding factor for me. (When I was looking in late 2005, the BOB didn't have an adjustable handle.) Also, the MBUS seems simpler, low key, and more streamlined (if that makes sense). That's something that I like about it, too. I really like it and only regret that I didn't buy it sooner for my older DD!

Most joggers are reclined, so you might not be able to know if he likes it or not until you get one. DD2 (she's been riding in it since before she turned 1) is happy to sit back and take in the scenery.

'05 MBUS is more reclined in the upright position than the '06 BOB Revolution (w/ 16" rear wheels). I have both and my DD#1 prefers the BOB. The BOB definitely pushes better outside than the MBUS -- both my DH and I have noticed this.

In looking at the BOB, I see they have a new version, the BOB Revolution AW 12". It has 3 12" wheels, rather than the 16" on the back. Does anyone have experience with this stroller?
