Baby Products Reviews of BOB Handlebar Console For Single Strollers - Black
Customer Review: nice concept, product not what was expected
Summary: 3 Stars
If you have the stroller pictured in the description of this product I'm sure this would be wonderful howwever if you have any of the umbrella stollers that have handles that don't bend toward the waste and level out this product won't work well.
This product is not designed to be universal. The way the velcro is attached to this product means that it only works on handlebars that are a certain distance apart and at a 0dagree angle to the ground(the handle bars have to be exactly like the ones in the picture, basically). I bought this because I left my stroller at home during a recent trip to canada and needed a stroller but didn't want to spend the money on another full size stroller so I bought an umbrella stroller by Kolcraft. But it had no parent tray or cup holder. This seemed like the perfect solution. I was in a hurry so I ran into the store and bought the stroller and this product without trying this on the stroller. I guess it works of you dont mind that your drink can tip over if you turn to quickly or something brushes up against the underside of it (This product is made of canvas.) I think it's just not stable enough since the handlebars are not at the right angle (the product is actually slightly tilted because of the angle of the handlebars) and aren't far enough apart to stretch the product(it hangs kind of limp between the handle bars not tight like in the picture) I wish now that I had just spent the little bit of extra money (20dollars) and bought the lite weight stroller with parent and child tray instead of wasteing 50dollars on this product and a cheap stroller.
Customer Review: Good but not perfect...

This item is meant for water bottles. You can barely get a can of coke in there or anything else. The "holsters" are really slim and are not steady as the item is simply a piece of fabric with velcro wraps at the ends. It is fine and will work for bottles of water but it would be nice to have a more versatile and stable drink holder. In addition it would be nice to have a holder for hot beverages as this drink holder can not accommodate a cup of starbucks or dunkin, more importantly the cup holder is so close to the baby that if you spill something the child will get wet so hot beverages are definitely a no go but even a cold drink could spill on the child due to the proximity of the cup holder and the seat. Final answer: get it if you intend to run and want to put a water bottle in it otherwise do not bother.Customer Review: Cup holder
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this mainly for my wife who loves her coffee. It fits securely on the handle bars of the Bob Stroller. It is made of very durable nylon/dupont cordura type material (webbing like material).
The holder contains a zip pocket in the center for a cell phone, wallet, or other items of similar size. I believe I have put my cell phone, keys, and wallet in the pocket with room to spare.
There is a warning to not put too hot of a liquid container in the cup holders. I imagine this is assuming the worst situation in which the cup holder would melt and/or the liquid would spill onto the child. We have had no problems with a travel type coffee mug that has a closable/lockable lid. An open type cup (no lid) with a hot beverage is just asking for trouble.
Customer Review: Totally worth it

When I bought my BOB stroller I immediately bought the strap on console for three main reasons. First 1) it has two cup holders that fit mine and by son's drinks and unlike the hard plastic consoles, this one is soft and and holds the drinks well. Second 2) because it's cloth, I can stick it in the wash if it gets dirty. And thrid 3) the zip up pocket in the front is a perfect distance for my iPod should I choose not to wear it and, as I said earlier, it's cloth so my iPod, phone,...wont bounce around and get scratched.
I think it would have been nice to have this included with the stroller but I can understand that some don't like the consoles. Overall, very happy with this.
Customer Review: Good product

I didn't buy this product at first b/c of all of the bad reviews I read about it... but having not found anything else, I broke down, took a chance and bought it. I really don't have any complaints about it. It holds everything pretty well, my keys and phone fit in the middle section. As a coffee drinker, I usually have a cup (with a lid) in the drink holder and the pockets are so deep that it hasn't ever spilled. The deep soft pockets actually hold it in better than other drink holders that I've had in the past. I haven't run with coffee, but then who would? I would recommend this product to anyone that has a BOB.
