Stroller Review: BOB Revolution Duallie

BOB Revolution Duallie Stroller
The Basics: 32 pounds. Two months to 50 pounds per seat, though the company recommends waiting until children are 8 months of age prior to using this stroller for jogging or off-roading. 34.1 inches at the widest point when unfolded. Collapses to 45 by 21 by 38.7 inches.*
The Lowdown: BOB is known for the durability and superiority of their jogging strollers, and the Revolution Duallie doesn't disappoint. This stroller offers amazing maneuverability. Sixteen-inch, air-filled tires and a shock absorber suspension system mean that this stroller can be taken over even the roughest of terrain with ease. Children remain relatively unbothered thanks to the Revolution Duallie's impossibly smooth ride. The stroller also features a wheel tracking adjustment lever, to keep your jog straight and smooth.
The wide seats feature durable, removable and machine washable fabric covers. The seats do not have a full recline, but one seat can be used with a infant carrier. The large canopies feature a unique adjusting strap, which better shields kids from sun, wind or rain than comparable models.
Another great feature is the Duallie's plentiful storage. The large cargo basket is perfect for stashing diaper bags or picnic baskets. Back pockets are large and allow easy access for parents. The seats also feature four internal pockets, which allow children to keep small toys, snacks or bottles within reach.
The one drawback of this stroller is its size. Granted, all double jogging strollers on the market are relatively large, but we wish the Duallie fit better through standard doors. The collapse of this stroller is relatively easy, but it does take two hands. Once folded it is bulky. The wheels feature a quick release mechanism to allow for a more compact fold. Plus, BOB also makes a model of the double Revolution with 12-inch wheels that make the stroller smaller. Still, families with sedans should check the dimensions of the stroller prior to purchasing it.
You'll Want It If: Your family is incredibly active and you need a stroller that can keep up.
*Note that all dimensions are when the stroller is in the jogging mode.

Ben said...Not a regular reader here, but it's worth noting that nearly every side-by-side stroller will fit through a "standard" doorway (that being about 30"). A stroller is designed to be as accommodating for child size as possible while staying under 30", so they all end up about the same. Also, the 12" wheel model stroller's frame is not smaller than the standard version. The wheels are smaller, yes, and that can save trunk space, but the overall size is the same.
The seat recline is "full" enough to place a newborn in, however the overall sizing is really for larger kids. I wouldn't call the fabric easily removable, but it is plenty durable to clean with a garden hose.
Also, all jogger-type strollers will say not to jog with the child until at least 6 months of age (8 in this case). Rough jostling is bad for baby, especially in the beginning.

Amanda said...How about the simple fact that jogging strollers give a smoother ride for the children and easier on the parent pushing it.
You don't have to jog with it. You can, you know, walk (crazy right?). Walk through the zoo, the park, the neighborhood. Don't tell me that walking with your kids is 'imbecilic'?

rugby09000 said...I have this stroller and had the single model prior to having my second child. I would recommend it to anyone who has an active lifestyle even if that doesn't include jogging. I have another double stroller that isn't a jogger and it's not as maneuverable. And for the idiot who thinks jogging with a baby makes me an imbecile, I can only conclude that you're probably obese and are teaching your kids to be the same and clearly you can't spell.

Jude7 said...The seat belt latch on the BOB strollers are too easy for a child to open. These strollers are very expensive. We contacted BOB, and they wouldn't do anything about it, so think twice before purchasing.
