I see why people love this but it's not for us
Reviewer: Jeannie , Los Angeles, CA

After a fair bit of research, all the reviews I've read on this and every other site that carries the BOB Duallie and trying it out at a store, we were excited to buy and start using the Duallie. I can see why so many people gush over this stroller but I have found that my 3-year old's (average height) head is constantly brushing up against the top of the sun shade when it was folded and my 1 year old is always slouched down because the seats are so "hammock-like" and don't have enough structure. She is very uncomfortable and always crying. I'm sadly selling my Duallie. One nice benefit is that since so many people love this stroller and it's in good condition, I should be able to get most of the money back in the sell. I'm going to try the discontinued phil&teds e3 twin since both girls love the single so much and see if that works out for us.

Very difficult to find fault with this

My wife and I both agree that this is probably the best piece of equipment that we bought for either of our children bar none. After doing a lot of research we settled on the BOB Duaille for our then 2yr old and 6 month old girls. A year later and it's been a huge success with them and us. As previously said by others, it's so easy to push and manouver, it can carry so much extra gear for days out and it's so smooth on rough roads/footpaths and trails that the children will happily sleep in it anywhere, anytime. As also mentioned the independent sun visors are excellent and overall it's such a well thought out stroller. If I was to try and find negatives, it would be that it's not great indoors in shops as it's a bit wide (no wider than a wheelchair) but then it's not designed for indoors really, and on steep trails a hand brake would be a nice to have, but that's it. We had to have this shipped from the U.S. to Ireland but it was worth the hassle and extra cost.

BEST INVESTMENT!!!

I am a research fanatic...after hours of comparisons...which took days and weeks...I purchased the BOB stroller for my now 3 year old and 1 year old. I run/walk everywhere from the sidewalks to the trails in the mountains behind my house...which is very bumpy and rocky. The suspension system on the BOB is amazing...the kids hardly move around on the bumps!
I also have a Baby Jogger...with the bigger, bicyle-spoked wheels..and it is no suspension whatsoever...it's hard to manuever...but the BOB, has the locking front wheel, so it can go from jogger to stroller within the click of a button. The sunshade is the best I've ever seen, its so easy to fold up, steer, get kids in and out...and the kids love it...they both fall asleep and I can workout (run) for as long as they sleep (sometimes up to 3 hours)...needless to say, this was one of the best investments...and I've beenable to lose 25 pounds as a result!
You won't have one regret with the BOB!

BIG FAN of the Bob!!!!

After months and months of searching for the perfect double stroller, I am sooo glad that I decided to go with the Bob Revolution Duallie 12" AW. This stroller is incredibly easy to maneuver in all directions and over ANY surface. I have a 3 and 1 year old which I started using when the younger one was 5 months. They both fit very comfortably and you can not detect any difference in weight. We brought the stroller to Disney World (to the terminal gate check and all) and is was perfect to have on our trip. The sunshade on the Bob covers the occupants completely, even when reclined (such a great feature). The seats themselves are easy to let down and clip back up. The accessories for the Bob are useful and well made. I am able to store my stroller in an upright position in a hall closet but all of the wheels pop of for easier storage if needed. I have not met a door yet that the Bob could not go through. By far, this stroller has been the best purchase since have 2 children.

Love, love, love this stroller!

I have a 2.5 yr old and a 9 mo old and was looking for a double jogger for long morning walks in my town. This fit the bill! Both my children are very comfortable in it. The sun shades are large and can cover the kids completely, even when they are in the reclined position. I got caught in a hail storm in this stroller and both my children didn't even wake up with the sun shade covering them. The steering is amazing, I have yet to have another person use the stroller and not mention how easy it is to push! This stroller has allowed me to get out again! I've used it in the mall and had no problem with it, can even push it with one hand and drink a coffee with the other. I took away one star because it is bulky when folded - but what double stroller isn't? I have a van and it still takes up a lot of room. It would probably take up the whole trunk of a smaller car. Also, I wish there was a way to lock the stroller when closed. You can use the wrist strap, but it's not as easy as a latch.

LOVE IT, $$ WORTH EVERY PENNY!!

After an extensive reseach, I decided that the Bob Rev Duallie w/ 12" wheels will be perfect for our stroller needs. It is durable, easy to manuver, my tall boys are comfortable, plenty of shade, although I wish that the basket is bigger and easier to get into. I have other double strollers and after pushing my Bob around, I can feel the difference, pushing and turning. I'm not a jogger, but it has been perfect for our walks in the neighborhood, to the park and at outside malls.

Excellent Stroller
Reviewer: Dave Pierce , Seattle, WA

After reading many favorable reviews, I purchased the Duallie 12" AW. I have been very impressed with the stroller, with the shocks it makes for a fairly smooth ride, the swivel front wheel allows for tigh turns, especially in the grocery store. The only thing I would change would be to have an adjustable height push bar, I am 6 foot 2 inches tall, and while the push bar is higher than most I tried, it isn't quite high enough for me. That being said this is a great stoller and I recommend it to those that do a lot of walking or jogging.

Love it!

This stroller is fantastic! It is a bit heavy, but that goes with the territory of having a double stroller. However, having the two smaller wheels in the rear, it takes off some of the weight and awkwardness compared to the other Bob Duallie.

Worth every penny
Reviewer: Paula W. , Chicago, IL

After spending tons of time researching for the best double stroller, I decided on the Bob Duallie 12" AW and could not be more pleased. Works wonderful for my 2 year old and 6 month old. The shocks and air filled rubber tires make rolling over city terrain a dream. Turns on a dime and is just a pleasure to use. I had a hard time justifying the price when I first ordered it, but now I know that it was worth every penny. Trust me, stop searching for the best double, go with the Bob.
