If you're looking at this stroller you're probably comparing the Summit and the BOB revolution, as I was. I hope this helps you make your decision! I was leaning toward the Baby Jogger Summit, but the BOB won out in the end.
As you know, they are really, really similar. The dimensions and weight are almost identical, and they fold down to almost the same size. The main reason I thought I would end up keeping the Baby Jogger is the one-handed fold. What could be easier? You can fold the stroller and throw it in your trunk while holding your baby in the other arm.
Other reasons the Summit almost won me over:
1. It locks shut when folded whereas the BOB does not. You can use the wrist strap on the BOB to secure it shut, but it doesn't have an automatic lock.
2. Better sun canopy on the Summit. It's really sturdy and opens at multiple positions. It has a smallish peek-a-boo window on top that secures easily with velcro, and two...Read more

My 4 year old is 45 inches tall. Finding a stroller that would accomodate a child this tall was a great challenge. We do a lot of Disney and other long walking activities, and it was just not feasible to expect him to last all day on his feet under those conditions.
I read reviews for 2 1/2 months and had narrowed it down to BOB Revolution and the Baby Jogger Summit XC. I decided on the Baby Jogger simply because it has 2 inches more headroom. I have had the stroller since March 2010 now and it has gone on many trips already.
Pros (for me anyway):
By far the smoothest rolling stroller I have ever pushed. The shocks are just amazing. You feel it give with every stride!
My son fits in it perfectly. His knees aren't at his chest, his feet are not dangling, and his head has room even with the canopy fully extended.
HUGE canopy!
Turns on a dime
Seems amazingly made
My son loves it

I love my baby jogger summit xc. I looked at many jogging strollers and almost didn't look at this because of the high cost. However, I'm so glad I went with this stroller.
Pros:
* The front swivel wheel is a huge help when navigating around the park or stores.
* The ability to lock it into place while jogging is great too.
* It is easy to control one handed
* The tether strap and hand break add safety
* The stroller folds very small for a jogger (smaller than my travel system stroller)
* The wide wheel base makes for a steady, stable ride
* Shocks allow you to run and baby to be comfortable, it also allows the stroller to go off the pavement (we took ours on an uneven walking path through the woods and it handled the roots and rocks well)
* Very easy to fold
* Pretty big basket under the stroller (compared to other joggers) as well as a mesh storage space behind the seat.
* Reclines for sleeping baby
* Huge...Read more
