Strollers are amazing machines. Imagine how hard it will be to go shopping at the mall with a baby or two without a stroller! It will be so frustrating.
Serving as an extra hand and legs, strollers make life a lot easier for parents but they can do even more in this revolutionized technological environment of ours.
Your stroller can serve as a personal gym and you can share your exercise with your baby. So, no more excuses about not having someone to watch the baby so you can get that much needed exercises. This innovation has played a major role in helping new moms get back their before pregnancy bodies without having to pay for gym membership.
Today, I will be reviewing the BOB Revolution Pro Single Stroller. Many say it is a great stroller; well lets find out for ourselves!

Hi, Its a great site. Nice and clearly laid out. Only one thing though. try to stop the ads where the writing stops or in the readers’ case, where the reading stops. There is a lot of blank space before the end of a couple of the pages. Apart from that, the advice is excellent. I’m not a mum but a dad of a toddler and another on the way so I could use some of the exercise tips. Excellent site and good luck moving forwards. Ali.
