While the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 is a terrific stroller that can be used on a variety of terrains, it isn't quite as versatile as the brand new BOB Alterrain Pro, which we'll discuss in the coming weeks. This model is lighter, more compact and compatible with car seats from most major brands.
The only other drawback to this jogger is that it comes with the same under-seat storage as the previous Flex options. However the storage isn't covered so it can get a little messy or wet.

You can, for example you can add a console with cup holders, or even an accessory tray to the frame to gain more storage.
