The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
BOB Gear was founded in the United States to make strollers and travel gear. The brand built its reputation on jogging strollers engineered for serious runners. BOB's suspension system and all-terrain wheels became the standard others copied. The company grew beyond running parents into mainstream family travel. Today BOB appears in 6649 tracked brands globally. In Baby, Kids & Toys, they rank number seventeen. Their strollers move families across pavement and trails alike. What began as a niche product became essential equipment.
