Baby Trend or BOB? OR BOB with snap n go?

Currently I have the BOB Revolution SE

I have a Baby Trend car seat that is not compatible with this stroller.   Should I sell the BOB and buy a Baby trend stroller? Or just buy a  snap n go for the times I want the stroller car seat to go together

Im looking at light jogging, with lots of off road trail action on different terrains. 

Or any other suggestions for the Baby trend car seat.

Personally, I would buy the snap n go and keep the BOB.

This!  The BOB is awesome for trails and rougher terrain-I don't think you'll find another stroller that works as well for this purpose, but it's a PITA for everyday use in terms of getting it in/out of the trunk.  I loved the snap n go for quick errands and shopping trips.

BOB is an awesome stroller that will last you well beyond when the LO outgrows the infant seat and it would perform well jogging and on the terrain you described.

Also you are not supposed to jog with your infant until they have adequate head and neck support, which the manufacturer says 8 months when placed directly in the stroller.  Some people think it's ok to do it sooner with the car seat, but I erred on the conservative side.

Therefore the inexpensive snap and go would be the best solution right now.  You can buy find them second hand for $25-30.  You might get up to a year's use out of it, but a lot of people stop carrying the infant seat sooner as it gets too heavy.

Why, why, why would you ever sell your Bob??  ;)

Def. buy the car seat attachment.  Figure jogging with your infant in their carseat attached to a shock-absorbant Bob on pavement is no more bumpy than driving your infant in their carseat in the car.  At least that is what my common sense tells me.

Definitely keep the bob and get a snap n go. That is exactly the systems I had it it was perfect. You can get a snap n go from craigslist for $20.

This is exactly what I was going to say...no reason buy this new if you can find it used for much less :)

Looks like I will be hitting up kijiji for a snap n go

This. I LOVE our BOB! I don't even mind lugging it in and out of my car because it's so easy to push and maneuver, so getting rid of it would not be an option for me! :)
