Disclosure- I received the below in order to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own and honest. For more, see “I Disclose”.
As we are expecting our 3rd child in the next few weeks finding the right car seat is very important to me. The carseat I used with my older 2 we gave to my niece, not to mention it will be expiring shortly. I was on the hunt for a good carseat for this precious babe! I must admit that I believe that I have found the best car seat with the Bob B-Safe 35 By Britax.
About BOB:
In 1994, Roger Malinowski, a bicycle industry maven, met Phillip Novotny, an airline mechanic, in the California town of San Luis Obispo. Phillip had turned a decrepit beach cruiser bike into a versatile, lightweight, single track bike trailer. He called it the YAK and was rolling them out of a machine shop on a small scale. Roger knew a great idea when he saw one and together, they took Phillip’s invention and built a booming business.
BOB was originally named Beast of Burden, but was eventually shortened to BOB.
BOB was first a great bike trailer that was completely amazing. However, Roger and Phillip soon began to start families of their own. They were inspired to design and build a superior jogging stroller that would be held to the same high standards as their trailers. The initial result was the BOB Sport Utility Stroller, complete with aptented suspension system, tough polymer wheels, easy-fold frame, a reclining, padded seat and several other features no one had ever put on a stroller before. They truly “wanted the best of a bunch of worlds”, said Roger. “A lightweight, high-quality stroller that you could still take running, hiking, or off-road and also fold up easily and compactly. The fact we could put all of these elements in one stroller is what really attracted people to it.”
Shortly after this stroller hit the market people started asking about a two-seat stroller, which led to the introduction of the Duallie in 2001.
Many changes have happened over the years which has left BOB one of the top strollers on the market in our country today.
My Thoughts:
I am so very incredibly impressed with this awesome carseat. I know that it is going to be a wonderful, safe carseat for my daughter. I know that our baby is going to be incredibly safe while riding in this carseat and will be able to use it for a long time. I like that the carseat is durable but not too heavy to be miserable carrying it around with a baby inside of it. I have a BOB stroller in the same color and I absolutely love it. It doesn’t stain easily and wipes clean if you happen to have an accident. I have all Britax carseats for my girls in my vehicle and absolutely love them. I don’t think that there is another carseat out there that I would put my girls in.
