Pros

• Shock absorption on washboard dirt trails is unmatched, the only 10 for ride
• One-hand quick fold is a massive improvement over legacy BOB frames

Cons

• Over 33 lb and bulky once folded, so it took the Taylor household real effort to load and scored 6 for fold and transport

Our Verdict: BOB Alterrain Pro

The BOB Alterrain Pro scored 89 out of 100 across the five criteria we score every jogging stroller on, and took Best Jogging Stroller for Off-Road Trails in our jogging stroller guide.

Washboard dirt is where it separates from the pack. The testers called its shock absorption unmatched and gave it the guide's only 10 for ride, and they described it as the ultimate off-road machine.

Folded is another story. The Taylor household put it at over 33 pounds, said loading it felt like deadlifting a bag of cement, and found the folded frame fills a crossover's whole cargo area.

Our Analysis, Comparisons and Test Results

Ten: first of the 9 strollers. The only 10 in this guide. The testers called the shock absorption on washboard dirt trails unmatched, and the maker lists SmoothShox suspension and air-filled tires.

Tracking & steering at pace

Nine, joint second in this guide. The notes record no tracking complaint. The testers called it the ultimate off-road machine.

Braking & safety

Nine, joint second in this guide. The maker lists an ergonomic handbrake for downhill control. The notes are positive about its handling on trails and record no braking complaint.

Fold & transport

Six: joint sixth of the 9 strollers. Joint lowest in this guide, even though the testers called the one-hand quick fold a massive improvement over legacy BOB frames. The Taylor household put it at over 33 pounds, said loading it is like deadlifting a bag of cement, and found the folded stroller fills the whole cargo area of a crossover. The maker lists 32.3 lb.

Kid comfort

Nine: joint first of the 9 strollers. The notes say little about the seat. The maker lists a canopy that is waterproof, windproof and rated UPF 50+.

Should You Buy the BOB Alterrain Pro?

It suits runners whose miles are roots, rocks and washboard, and who care more about the ride than about the lift.

The fold itself is easy with one hand and a big improvement on older BOB frames. It's the folded size that costs it a 6, so check your cargo space against the maker's 32.3 lb.

Every jogging stroller here was scored on the same five criteria, so the question is not which one is good. It is which one suits what you will do with it most days.
