BOB Ironman Baby Jogger

Our daughter IS an Ironman and we're wondering if the BOB Ironman Baby Jogger would be a neat gift?? Does anyone have some first hand advice for two old people? Does the infant car seat adapter secure the seat safely? What about the other accessories? Weather shield? Sun screen?
Thanks much!

The Ironman is a great jogging stroller, but it is not a great "all around" stroller because the front wheel doesn't swivel. If your daughter is only going to use it for jogging, the BOB Ironman is GREAT.

The infant carseat holder is great, but I would only use it on BOB's Revolution stroller (because the Revolution's front wheel swivels, which makes it easier to use the Revolution as an everyday stroller). You can use it on the other BOB strollers, but you CANNOT use it while you are using the stroller as a jogger. It can only be used when you are using the stroller as a walking stroller. Does that make sense?

The Sunshield is great and works well for keeping bugs off the baby as well. It isn't 100% necessary, but it is nice. If you don't go with the Sunshield, I would look into something like Kiddopotamus's Ray Shieldfor keeping the sun off the baby.

The Weather Shield is good if your daughter often runs in the rain or wind.

Everyone I know who has a BOB has the Warm and Fuzzy liner inside. They don't use it during the summer, but they do use it in the spring, fall, and winter.

The Handlebar COnsole is nice if your daughter is using the stroller when she is not jogging.

So, in summary, if your daughter is a serious jogger, the Ironman is a great choice.

I forgot to add--

All these accessories are HEAVY, so I wouldn't recommend using all of them if your daughter is training!
