Best Stroller EVER!!
Reviewer: Anonymous , Camp Lejeune, NC
Date: August 10, 2010
This stroller is by far the best double jogging stroller out there. This is my first BOB and I must say it is worth every penny. I am a military wife so money is tight but I saved for this one and was it worth it. My best friend bought two other cheaper jogging strollers cause she didnt want to pay all the money and she never uses them because they pull to the side, super hard to push while jogging and dont provide half the amount of comfort for her two boys.. On top of the stroller I bought the cup/key holder which is great and I suggest you get it, as well as the weather cover. Which has also been great when it all of a sudden down pours and we are a good 20 minutes from the car; it also works really well for wind/sand(beach running). The sunshades are outstanding and provide the perfect amount of protection for the kids, I also like how the stroller divides the kids so they cant really pick on one another while you are running. The only con I would say would be the instructions a little difficult but mainly the front brake cant figure it out and dont have a dealer anywhere close. Besides that if you are looking for a stroller and a hard core runner like me (run around 5-10miles a day) this stroller is for you!!!! Don't waist your money on cheap strollers, this BOB stroller will defintely make you happy!!

Great ride for 3 yr old and 8 mo old

I was weary of purchasing this stroller because it had a permanently fixed wheel, other reviewers found that it was difficult to turn and ended up returning it for the higher priced Revolution Duallie. After using it for two days, however, my husband and I found that turning it during use was actually very simple! When using the stroller for its intended purpose, i.e. jogging/running, it's very easy to adjust the strollers direction with the curve of the road. It's only when you have to make a major turn that you have to lift the front wheel off the ground. The ride is superior, it's so smooth and easy! The pull strings for the individual shades are fantastic and I love being able to look through the top of the shades to see what my kids are up to. The shades go down so far too! It has amazing sun protection! While the storage rack underneath is small, it serves its purpose and is great for small bags and water bottles. I have a diaper bag that I previously purchased from Target (made by Spark) that can attach to a stroller handlebar and it was great for storing water bottles and any other necessities (it doesn't get in the way either.) Assembly was pretty simple, the stroller comes 97% assembled and all you have to do is attach the wheels. We did have trouble with the front wheel, directions for installing that one were a little confusing and took us longer than necessary. The hardest part was setting the break. We still don't have it adjusted correctly. Also, the wheel doesn't spin perfectly straight which is causing the stroller to drift to the right during use. Our major complaint is with the instructions, it says to take the stroller to a certified BOB dealer to have them correctly set the wheel/break. The nearest BOB dealer to us is an hour and a half away...we find that statement a little ridiculous. That's a major inconvenience/request! But, despite that, I give the stroller 5 stars. It's extremely high quality, easy to use, smooth, and attractive.
Oh, and the website shipping was probably the most fantastic thing ever! Never in my life have I had anything shipped so quickly to me, for free!!! I ordered it on a Wednesday and it arrived on Friday (earlier than the 3-4 days it said it would probably take!) Every other website that sold this product (and I looked at all of them) charged outrageous shipping, additional oversize charges, or delivery would have taken a week or more. This website is probably the best website I have ever ordered from, what a fantastic experience!

Mom of 2 boys (6m &4yr)

I was a little nervous about buying a stroller online but made the right choice cuz i love this stroller. It took less than a week to get here (right on time). And i was pleased to find out that it was easy enough to assemble on my own without any tools. They made it seem like it would be hard to attach the front wheel but if you read the directions carefully its not hard at all. It has plenty of storage which is important with 2 boys. The bottom compartment is big enough for all that you"ll need and i would recommend buying the extra cup holder adapter which fits perfectly. The ride is really smooth but the front fixed wheel is something that you need to get used to it because you have to lift the front wheel anytime you want to turn but that's not hard at all. It also fits through doorways well and the sun shades are great. Oh, and it folds up really well for a double jogger.

Quality Stroller
Reviewer: Denise , Philly suburbs
Date: December 17, 2008
We are very happy with our purchase of the BOb SUS stroller (in red). It is a high quality stroller and the components are top grade. It is on the heavy side but I think that is to be expected in a double jogger with big knobby tires. It is smooth to push though and the only time I notice its weight is when pushing uphill with both my 3 year old and my 6-month old inside. The individual sun visors are great since my older child likes to have hers back and I need to keep the little one protected more and they provide alot of coverage against sun and wind/cold air. The stroller folds up relatively small for its size...parking brake is easy to put on with one foot. I got the console thing too because it has a zippered compartment for my keys and cell phone when we are out running and going to the park for awhile...although the cargo hold area underneath is ample I don't like keeping small valuable stuff in there. Both kids seem comfy, the adjustable seat recline is great in that sense. I had a cheaper Instep double which was lightweight but poor quality and not nearly as smooth and comfy for the kids...the BOB SUS is worth every single penny!

Great stroller
Reviewer: eric , mount joy, PA
Date: November 28, 2008
i love this stroller for jogging and going over rough terrain. it has opened up a new world for me as far as getting my needed exercise and taking the kids out at the same time. it is on the heavy side, and the front wheel is fixed so it is not incredibly easy to steer, but not terribly difficult either. my wife has had some problems popping it open as well. overall, though we are glad we purchased this, and also very happy with joggingstroller.com and their quick service.

Good buy
Reviewer: Anonymous , Verona, WI

We recently purchased a BOB SUS Duallie to replace our Tike Tech Double ATX all terrain stroller. The two strollers are very similar, but now that we have both, it is very obvious that the BOB stroller has far better quality and is worth the extra $80.
The BOB is smaller in size, easily fitting through doorways, which is a plus when it comes to side by side double strollers. There are built in shocks making for a smooth ride for your children. It is very easy to manuver around once you get used to the fixed wheel design. I would definitly recommend this stroller to any active parent out there that ,loves to walk or run with there kids.

The double stroller works equally well on and off trail, but not so much on curving paths as the front wheel is fixed. I didn't entirely realize this when I purchased it. There is a windy trail near my house that is a pain to navigate because, to turn the stroller, you have to press down on the handles, quite the pain while running. If you do get the stroller, keep in mind it's best for straight trails and would work very well with the waist-style jogging attachment, saving your wrists and freeing your hands.

Worth the Price
Reviewer: Anonymous , Arlington, Virginia

I researched double jogging strollers online, through friends and in Toddler Bargains and ended up choosing the BOB SUS Duallie double stroller. Toddler Bargains made it sound like you can't really run with this stroller (they recommend the IronMan fixed wheel stroller instead), but I decided to go with this one and am SO glad I did. My neighborhood is very hilly and I use the swivel wheel more often than fixed wheel even when I'm jogging - otherwise you can't steer the stroller. I'm also not the runner I was before kids, so this one is perfect for someone only doing short distances. At first my kids (2 and 1) didn't like it - they were used to the Graco DuoGlider that has trays in front of each seat for their sippy cups, but now they think it's fun to sit side by side and go "super fast" in the "new running stroller." My quibbles with this stroller are that it's HEAVY and awkward to transport (doesn't snap together closed like lighter/cheaper strollers, so it's hard to carry into the house). I usually make my husband lug it out to the van if I'm taking it down to the Potomac River for a jog. Also, our house was built in 1941, so it doesn't fit through the front door unless it's collapsed, so I have to drag it down the stairs first, then run back inside to grab the kids. But, it is amazingly smooth and light once it's assembled and you're on your way. SO much easier to push and steer than any other stroller we've ever had. And it's fun to get outside for exercise with my kids. No more excuses now!

Great for Running
Reviewer: Debra P. , Virginia
Date: April 12, 2008
Okay I keep my jogger in my garage open so I don't fold it up. You need to get the wind/rain cover too. Worth the money for the extra one. We also got the jogger clock/distance thing. That is awesome! The Bob stays on track and is so light even with 2 kids in it (okay not so light when I am running up large hills...not joggers fault...mommy is getting into shape). There are no cup holders so that is the biggest downside. Of course you need your water bottle. I attached the ones screw on the side. I have a 4 month old son and he fits great in it and I can fold down the seat when he is napping. Basket is a little hard to access but I looked in person at the other joggers and they all have the bar in the middle of the baskets. So you cannot get one that is easy access.
