With the Wayfinder, taking your little one for a stroll has never been smoother! Whether you're navigating through urban streets or venturing off the beaten path, this stroller's construction ensures a reliable and comfortable ride all the way up to 65 lbs!

Crafted with a robust aluminum frame, the Wayfinder stroller boasts durability that can withstand your active lifestyle. Its independent dual suspension system, combined with air-filled tires, guarantees a steady journey even on the bumpiest sidewalks and rockiest terrains. 

The stroller's tire configuration is designed for optimal performance: a 12" front tire for easy swivelling during leisurely walks and two 16" rear tires that handle rougher terrain with finesse. These pneumatic (air-filled) tires sport an all-terrain tread, ensuring a smooth glide no matter where your adventures take you. 

The high-impact composite construction of the wheels, rims, and spokes adds to the stroller's sturdiness (while keeping the overall weight manageable), and the front wheel's swivel capability makes steering effortless! 

Secure Adventures 

When it comes to your baby's safety, the Wayfinder ensures a worry-free and secure ride. 

BOB includes a 5-point harness to keep your little one snug and safe, preventing any wiggles or slips during your strolls. Shielding your baby from the harsh sun is the handy (and stylish) canopy, providing more than adequate shade and protection. 

What about those downhill slopes? The handbrake feature gives you full control over the stroller, allowing you to navigate descents with confidence. When it's time to pick up the pace, the locking front wheel ensures stability during your jogging sessions! 

Elevate Every Outing 

Designed with both parents and babies in mind, BOB packed this stroller with a range of carefully crafted features that enhance your time spent with each other. 

• Easy Fold: With the Wayfinder's One-Hand DualRetract Fold, collapsing the stroller becomes a seamless action. The rear wheels are even removable, allowing you to achieve an impressively compact fold, perfect for storage in tight spaces or on-the-go adventures. 

• Adjustable Seating: Your baby's comfort takes centre stage. The Wayfinder offers versatile seating options. They can sit fully upright in a generously padded seat, taking in the world around them. For those moments when a nap is in order, the stroller's near-flat recline ensures your little one can rest peacefully while you continue your journey. 

• Comfort Handlebar: As a parent, you're in control, and the comfort handlebar of the Wayfinder reflects this. Padded for a gentle grip, the handlebar is also adjustable in height, ranging from 34.5 to 45.5 inches. This thoughtful design accommodates parents of different heights, ensuring comfortable navigation at all times. 

• Travel System Compatibility: When car seats are compatible with strollers, transitioning between them saves a ton of time! The Wayfinder can turned into a travel system as it’s compatible with several popular infant car seat models, including Britax Willow, Maxi-Cosi Mico, Nuna Pipa, Nuna Pipa Lite, Cybex Aton 2, and more. The provided adapters make attaching and detaching the car seat a breeze, offering a seamless travel experience for you and your baby. 

• Mesh Canopy Window: Stay connected with your little one while they explore the world. The stroller features a mesh “peek and chat” canopy window, allowing you to keep an eye on your baby and engage in conversation without missing a beat. 

• Removable Cargo Basket: When it comes to storage, the Wayfinder has plenty of it. The removable zip-top cargo basket offers ample space for your essentials, and with a weight capacity of 10 lbs., you can carry everything you need for a day out with ease. 

• Multiple Pockets: Stay organized and keep essentials within arm's reach. The stroller boasts three pockets — two in-seat pockets for quick access to items like pacifiers or snacks, and a zippered pocket in the basket for your phone or other valuables. 

• Parent Cup Holder: Stay refreshed while on the move with the included parent cup holder. Hydration is just a reach away, ensuring you can quench your thirst without missing a step!
