Our Revolutionary Legacy

At BOB Gear®, we believe raising families is a way to discover the world all over again.

We’ve spent the last three decades creating revolutionary products that give you the freedom to find adventure together. The mantra we live by? Put quality first and the rest falls into place. This commitment is at the forefront of our innovations.

Our Rugged Legacy

Back in 1994, Roger Malinowski, a bicycle industry maven, met Philip Novotny, an airline mechanic. Together, they brought an innovative bike trailer to the masses.

Our Family-Focused Legacy

When Roger and Philip began to start families, they were inspired to design and build a jogging stroller that held the same high standards as their trailers. The result was the Sport Utility Stroller. “We wanted the best of a bunch of worlds,” says Roger. “A lightweight, high-quality stroller that you could still take running, hiking or off-road and fold up easily and compactly.

Our High-Performance Legacy

Of course, no successful product can be introduced without going through rigorous laboratory testing. “We used our kids,” says Roger. “Out on the driveway. They squeaked, burped, cried, hurled, scratched, ripped, kicked, tripped, clawed and jumped on the prototypes we gave them. Those kids helped us raise the performance levels and quality of the stroller farther and faster than we may have been able to otherwise."

Our Innovative Legacy

It wasn’t long before they had a successful product, and the resources they needed to expand their features and product line. Soon after the Sport Utility Stroller hit the streets, customers started asking for a two-seat stroller, which led to the introduction of the Duallie in 2001.

In 2005, BOB Gear introduced another innovation that revolutionized the stroller: a swiveling front wheel. No longer would parents have to tip their strollers backwards to make a sharp turn or awkwardly maneuver congested areas. The new stroller was called the BOB Gear Revolution® and it was nothing short of it.

Our Coast-to-Coast Legacy

Since then, we’ve evolved from a stroller brand to a close-knit community of adventure lovers. We are so proud that BOB Gear has traveled with families all over the globe, from the snow-covered peaks of Colorado, to the sandy beaches of Florida - and everywhere in between.
