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.
The Revolution Duallie combines all the best elements of a fixed-wheel jogging stroller with the best swivel wheel mechanics on the market, and it's one of the lighter double strollers available today. We cannot recommend the Revolution Duallie enough.

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

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

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!!

Worth the $$$
Reviewer: Anonymous , Comanche, TX

So far I love the BOB Revolution Duallie. It turns on a dime, is very easy and comfortable to push, has good storage, and isn't too terribly heavy considering the size. My only negative thoughts would be: (1)After only a few uses it got three flat tires. We had to fill the tubes with slime- this has helped so far. (2) The ride is not as smooth on the dirt (caliche) road as I had hoped even with the car seat attachment. I'm sure it will be fine when my daughter gets older. Right now going over the rocks shakes her around more than I like at 3 months old. We are sticking to pavement till she is older- which is VERY smooth. She looks around a little and then goes straight to sleep! I would also highly recommend joggingstroller.com- excellent service!

Excellent buy!
Reviewer: Anonymous , Hinsdale, IL

I purchased this stroller a month before I had my fourth daughter and I love it! I was very reluctant to buy another stroller however with four kids under the age of 6 I needed a reliable double stroller. I am so pleased with the BOB. I can actually fit all four of my kids on it and I use a Kiddy Board attaced as well. It is perfect for us. It almost seems to push itself at times, much better than a tandem Graco we used to have. I would definitely recommend this stroller to anyone. Another great thing about the stroller which I love and everyone (who doesn't have a BOB) comments on is the fact that it has separate sun shades for the two seats. This is a HUGE benefit especially with a newborn that sleeps all the time. Also, for the newborn I just put in a cushie seat insert (the one i use in the car seat) so she fits a bit more snug.

there is NOTHING better
Reviewer: Marla , Houston, TX

if it is possible to truly love a stroller, then i'll shout it aloud, "I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS STROLLER." this is my 2nd double stroller and my 2nd BOB (i have the single IRONMAN) and i have to say, i wish i would've bought it sooner. it is fabulous. i have a 3-year-old and a 15-month old and they are both comfy and happy in it. both seats recline so if one falls asleep, then one side can be lowered. the shades are more than adequate. it turns on a dime, fits easily through doorways and handles all types of terrain. and i think for a stroller of this size, it folds VERY easily and is not as cumbersome as i thought it would be. and, it is beautiful. don't waste your money on anything else. GO BOB!

We Love the BOB!
Reviewer: MJ , SLC, UT

We bought the Bob Revolution Duallie back when I was pregnant with our first son, already loving the BOB brand because of my husband's experience with his BOB trailer for his bike, and wanting to invest in a stroller that would grow with our family. I started walking with my son at around 3-4 months, and have loved it ever since! The swivel wheel makes walking very easy, and, now that I am running, the (very easy) front wheel locking feature makes running wonderfully easier! My friend's double stroller is a different brand, and watching her use it has made me love the BOB even more: Her boys sit right next to each other in one large seat, and the sun shade does absolutely nothing except block her view of them. The BOB's separate seats are awesome, my baby loved the reclining feature when he was littler (I put a head support in it), and the sun shade is phenomenal. He can still see everything, but the sun never reaches him. The window in the top of the shade also is nice to be able to see what he is doing. (We also bought the handlebar console, and it makes bringing water super convenient, and holds keys, cell phone, etc.) Besides ease of use, we also put the BOB to the test this year when we went to Bryce Canyon to run a race (on a bumpy trail, where the BOB did great). We decided to take it onto the Navajo Loop Trail in Bryce Canyon, and just go as far as we could, knowing it probably wouldn't be very far. WELL, the BOB was extraordinary! The trail has switch backs galore and a VERY thin walkway, and the BOB handled everything perfectly! My son had a great time, and the 5-point harness held him securely on the downhill portions! Enough Said. We absolutely love this stroller. Thanks, BOB!

In Love With BOB
Reviewer: Anonymous , Boston, MA
Date: September 16, 2008
The BOB Revolution Duallie is my third (and final) double stroller in as many months. First I sprung for the new Phil & Teds Vibe; I would have been better off shooting myself in my own foot (double seat recline is a joke, folding w/ double seat on is a chore, and I hit the back of the seat with my knees with every step). Second I got the Valco Latitude for 2, their new light-weight side-by-side. This is a very good all-purpose double: compact with go-anywhere maneuverability, but way more features than an umbrella. However, my 20-month-old, who is off the growth-charts in height, looked like she was scrunched into a clown car, and on this one I kicked the parking brake foot pedal with every step (ok, so I'm taller than the average mom).
I had resisted the BOB Duallie at first because it is so big; I don't have a garage so I need to stroll it in and out my front door every day, and I drive a Camry. Despite this, it turns out that "big" is exactly what I needed. My toddler is comfortable, the sun shades are amazing, the harnesses are easy to adjust and go super small if needed, and it is a dream to push. I've even started mixing some jogging into my daily walks! I admit that it is a bit cumbersome when folded, but expecting a full-size double jogger to fold up into a neat little box you can carry with your pinkie is a bit nuts. However, if you don't have any plans for jogging or long walks on sand/snow/gravel/dirt, I would go with 12' AW - the smaller wheels will be plenty for everyday tasks and the fold is tighter. Sure no stroller is perfect for everyone, but this one (which by the way does slide through my front door even with less than perfect aim) is perfect for me and my two!
