Our Review of the BOB Revolution Duallie
The BOB Revolution Duallie is a significant modification of the original BOB Duallie design, geared toward urban dwellers that need a maneuverable and durable stroller that is also good for jogging. The Duallie provides a fully rotating, 12-inch front swivel wheel that locks into a fixed position for better control while jogging or during off-road use.
The front swivel wheel of the Revolution Duallie has a unique mechanism to help maintain balance and a straight roll while locked into the fixed position. Most strollers with swivel wheels have the option of locking forward, but they usually have too much play ('wiggle room') to be of much use as a jogging stroller. The Revolution Duallie's tracking adjustment mechanism keeps the jogging stroller from veering, which saves you from having to constantly push back to balance out your course.
With inboard rear wheels and measuring just shy of 31" wide, the BOB Revolution Duallie maintains a low profile and fits easily through standard doorways, making it an excellent double stroller for urban use. The individually, near flat reclining seats are foam lined and very thickly padded for maximum comfort. There is a large underside basket for storing your stuff and integrated pockets and cupholders in the seating area to keep your kids hydrated and occupied.
In addition, the Revolution Duallie has individual sun canopies so both of your passengers get the shade they want. Both seats feature 5-point harnesses for rider security, and the fabrics are entirely removable and washable.
The BOB Revolution Duallie is narrow enough to fit easily through standard sized doorways, so have no fear about taking it to the market or mall. Last, but certainly not least, the Revolution Duallie is extremely easy to fold up, and compact enough when folded to fit easily into your trunk.
Bottom Line: Joggers, power walkers, and people who just need a more versatile double stroller need look no further than the BOB Revolution Duallie. Even though it doesn't come out of the box with many bells and whistles, there is a full line of BOB accessories available that expand your possibilities.
Another great all-around walking and jogging stroller is the Baby Jogger Summit 360 double stroller. The Summit 360 twin stroller features automatic tracking instead of the BOB's adjustable tracking. The Summit 360 also features two rear 12" wheels instead of 16" rear wheels. The Summit 360 is two inches wider in profile than the BOB Duallie (33" as compared with the BOB's 31").

Hands Down Worth the $$
Reviewer: Steve L. , Chagrin Falls, OH
Date: June 14, 2009
Expensive? Chunk of change? Oh yea - it hurt when we bought this thing, especially with some extras. But it has been worth it and more. Goes anywhere! We took it to the Smokey Mountains National Park - pushed 4! kids through some trails (2 in seats; 2 in foot holders). Worked great. Kids all love it. Plus, the material ripped once. Bob sent us a brand new cover, which is basically everything but the frame and wheels. Yes, it's a bunch of money, but compared to other strollers, it's also the best and will last forever (we have three boys and they beat on it, and in two years, no more rips).

Worth the wait
Reviewer: Tara , Libertyville, IL

I've wanted this stroller for over 2 years when I found out that I was pregnant with #2. I just had #3 a few weeks ago and just got it! I knew that I would love this stroller. The only reason why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that unlilke what I've read, you CAN tell that you are pushing a lot of weight. I had both of my sons in it for a total weight of 70 pounds and I could certainly tell that I was pushing something!! Minor complaint because I was pushing 70 pounds! My 3.5 year old was TOO big for it, but begged to sit in it anyway - he's tall for his age. He loved it even though he looked uncomfortable. I really bought it for my two younger ones. Haven't jogged with it yet, but will once the weather gets better around here. Overall, even though I JUST got it, I'm happy that I made this purchase. I'm looking forward to spending time outdoors with my children. Joggingstroller.com is AWESOME!! The stroller came in 2 days which was super cool! Gotta love free shipping!! Way to go joggingstroller.com!

Great Stroller
Reviewer: Anonymous , Scarborough, ME
Date: March 20, 2009
Shopped for months to try and find an affordable double stroller that would last. After reading many reviews, we finally decided to spend much more than anticipated and purchased the BOB. I love it! The ordering process was simple and our new stroller arrived in days. I put it together myself in about 15 minutes. It rides very smooth, and the kids seem to be very comfortable. My son is 30 lbs. and my daughter 12lbs. and the stroller feels very balanced.

THIS STROLLER ROCKS!!!
Reviewer: Nadine , Tiburon, CA
Date: March 13, 2009
I bought this stroller after having a disasterous experience with a different double stroller whose company has since gone out of business. I was reluctant to buy the BOB at first because of the cost but I would have saved myself a lot of grief if I had just sprung for it in the first place.
I have two year old twins and the ride is so comfortable for them as well as me. They have a ton of leg room. It fits easily into the back of my van and is also very easy to travel with.
This stroller is narrower than the other two double strollers I have owned, making trips to the store a joy rather than a nightmare!
I would recommend this stroller in a heartbeat. It is worth every penny.

This is by far the best stroller on the planet. Yes, it is pricey, but if you can afford it, please, please, please buy one. I have a 2 and a 4 year old and it pushes so easily. I can manuever with one hand. I GUARANTEE YOU WILL NOT REGRET BUYING THIS STROLLER...DO NOT EVEN LOOK AT ANOTHER STROLLER, YOU WOULD BE WASTING YOUR TIME. BUY A BOB REVOLUTION STROLLER ASAP!!!!!!!!!!! YOUR KIDS WILL LOVE YOU FOR IT.

Liberated by BOB!
Reviewer: Amy C , Newnan, GA
Date: January 06, 2009
We are so thrilled with this stroller. We were very hesitant to get it at the price, but I believe we got what we paid for. We have a 2 y/o and a 9 m/o and they seem so comfortable in this stroller. The suspension provides a smooth ride; the harnesses keep them secure & comfortable and are easy to adjust, and the sun shade is actually totally effective! The dual seats keep them stable (and help keep them from bickering, though they can still see each other) and recline easily. My son woke up after a walk and I started to help him out and he said "no!" and went back to sleep - must have been very comfy! I can take this stroller nearly everywhere, even to larger stores. In retrospect, this was insane, but we even pushed it up Stone Mountain (only had to carry it over a few spots)! It has space to carry all the gear we needed for the day - water bottles, a small diaper bag, camera, snacks, toys, etc. It IS big-I have to take the wheels off to put it in the trunk but they pop on and off quickly, but are very secure when attached. It fits through our front door, but not the back. It folds easily, but still has a large footprint. I find it awkward to lift, and a little awkward to open/set up. It pushes straight, though there is a tracking adjustment if it pulls and also the wheel can swivel or lock straight. We also bought the console, which is a must, and the sun/wind/bug shade (also very useful). As a side note, we got an off-brand shade by accident and were not happy with it, so we exchanged it for the BOB version and it fits great and goes on easily. I wish these items were included in the stroller purchase. The built-in canopies have nice viewing windows with a flap to cover them in bright sun. When using the sun shade, though, I can't see the boys from above. The way the foot area is constructed, it does a good job of catching any toys the kids drop, especially with the sun shade attached. I am 5' 4" and my husband is 6' 3" and we can both push it comfortably. It is heavy, but is soooo easy to push and turn! The brake is well-designed and latches easily and securely with your foot. I have found occasions on hills where I wish it had a hand brake - I have to work to hold it back, but I feel more secure that it has a wrist strap to keep it from getting away. The materials seem very durable and well-constructed. We got Mesa Orange, and I love the color! I also love that it and the sun shade have little reflectors. I'm so jazzed about this stroller. I've felt so tied down as far as having two little ones and trying to get some exercise to burn off the baby fat, but with this stroller I can walk/jog anywhere in most weather because my guys ride together happily and the stroller is so easy to handle. We were given a tandem stroller, with one seat in front of the other, and I could barely turn or push the thing - it was awful! I just can't say enough good stuff about this stroller!

Great Stroller, Steep Price
Reviewer: Anonymous , Portland, OR
Date: January 04, 2009
I was exceedingly hesitant to buy this stroller due to the cost and the lack of (necessary in my opinion) accessories included. My infant and 3 year old enjoyed their first few runs in it. I am giving three stars because my 36 month old does not have much head clearance and such an expensive stroller should include at least a parent console if not also a weather shield.
Given the opportunity again, I would still probably purchase this stroller as I feel it is the best double jogger on the market.

Worth the money!!
Reviewer: Anonymous , Chicago, IL
Date: December 24, 2008
The BOB was recommended to me by a friend who didn't hesitate to pay this kind of money for a stroller, but I was skeptical. It's a stroller, afterall, but I am completely happy with it. It glides easily...my husband even raves about how easily it moves! We purchased the carseat attachment which was easily installed and we have had no problem inserting our Graco Snugride..the foam block is unneccesary for our model. The seats are deep, but my 16-month old son can reach the cups just fine. I wish the cup holder were a little bigger because it doesn't fit the cup we use, but I'm not dropping points for that reason. It does fold up easily, but I agree with how difficult it is to pick up and put in the car. I have an SUV and it is awkward to get into the back since it doesn't lock into it's fold-up position and the strap thing isn't worth the hassle. The wheels have to be removed to put in the trunk of my husband's car, but they pop on and off with a pin..very easy. It does fit through regular doorways, but I had to try it to believe it...it doesn't look like it will. It is wonderful and totally worth the money just for comfort and ease..you sort of have to keep up wtih the stroller! We joke that Bob is a part of our family because he goes everywhere with us and cost more than we paid for our children (hospital bills), but worth every penny!

A Saving Grace for a Twin Mom
Reviewer: twin momma , Huntington Beach, CA
Date: December 22, 2008
I had a hard time convincing myself to buy this stroller because of the price but it is worth every penny and more!!! I began using this stroller when they were three months old (with a towel folded under their bums) and the straps hold them in nice and tight. It turns on a dime. I can steer with one hand and drink coffee with the other which is unheard of with a tandem stroller. The seats are comfortable, the canopies are individual and provide excellent sun coverage. The seats recline, not flat, but far enough that my girls sleep very comfortably. I can easily see them through the clear "roof". It is light and is easy to load/unload into the car. I have been able to get this through every door I have tried and find that maneuvering in shops is much easier than expected. Even though my tandem Graco is narrower, it is so hard to steer that is it no more maneuverable. We take daily walks over sand, dirt trails, and concrete sidewalks with great ease. I take it rollerblading (Bob does not recommend this) but it works great. I am 5'9" and do not have to stoop to push my BOB like I do with my other strollers. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this stroller!!
