Amazon.com Product Reviews
The BOB Revolution Duallie is the most versatile BOB two-seated stroller on the market. What is truly "revolutionary" about the stroller is the pivoting front wheel that swivels for nimble and agile movement. The Revolution turns on a dime, but the innovation does not stop there. The front wheel can lock into a fixed position for jogging or off-road use. The strong, welded frame is made of aircraft-grade aluminum alloy that is lightweight and durable—weighing 33.2 pounds. The padded, stain-resistant seats are soft and cushy, recline up to 70 degrees from vertical, and have the standard five-point harness to provide maximum stability and comfort. The full, independent sun canopies provide ample shade and protection from the elements for your little passengers. The canopy windows allow you to keep a watchful eye as well. The suspension system sports three-inch coil springs with an elastomer core and two settings for bigger and smaller children, and it has 16-inch semi-slick, all-purpose rear tires and a 12.5-inch front tire. The wheel rims are constructed of high-impact composite polymer, and the hubs feature a quick release axle and cartridge bearings. The caliper handbrake slows the stroller with ease, while the foot-activated "parking brake" is simple and handy. Storage is not a problem with twin interior seat pockets, a large below-seat storage basket, and a deep seatback pocket. The two-step fold can be done in one motion, and the lightweight frame makes it portable and stowable. Removing the wheels decreases the height and length when storing in tight spaces. The handlebar height is 41 inches, and the wheel base is 28.2 inches in swivel mode or 34.1 inches in jogging mode. The stroller is able to go almost anywhere, and the ride and styling can only be described as luxurious. The smartest feature by far is the ability to switch from a pivoting to a locked front wheel that allows the BOB Revolution stroller to be one of the most versatile and maneuverable strollers available. BOB recommends that children be at least eight weeks old before riding in the stroller and at least eight months old before jogging or off-road use. The Sport Utility stroller has a weight capacity of 100 pounds and 50 pounds per seat. --Scott Teal

BEST STROLLER, I've tried 7 others March 15, 2008
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
UPDATE: Now owned my BOB for one year and I STILL LOVE IT!!! It's holding up fantastic, still turns on a dime, nothing broken, creaking, squeaking, ripped or faded. My kids totally beat it up (food, mud, markers) and it still looks almost brand new. I hose it off every once in a while and that does the trick.
First I want you to know that I have purchased or borrowed them all!!! I am my own mini consumer reports! LOL I have spent over $1600 on bad strollers.
You name it, I've bought it or tried it. I have compared:
1) Graco Duo Rider tandem
2) The Peg Perego Duette (super expensive $750 and worst stroller ever made)
3) Peg Perego Aria Twin
4)Zooper twin side by side (not sure of the name)
5) Maclaren side by side
6) Phil&Ted double jogger that has the rear kid almost touching the ground (my kids HATED that) and after kid #2 is in back there is no basket room - are we joking?
7) Graco Duo Rider side by side
The BOB Revolution Duallie ROCKED THE HOUSE compared to all the above and here's why....
First of all I have a HUGE 4 year old (46 lbs and 45 inches) and a medium sized but hefty 3 year old (26 lbs and 37 inches). I can NOT feel the weight of my children when I push them in the BOB!!!!! Parents, you realize how incredible this is. The stroller is easier to push than my single stroller! And I am not exaggerating. That was the first thing that got me because frankly I was not interested in a jogger. AND....get this... my 3 year old does not make the stroller pull to one side, even when he rides solo!!! I had such a problem with this in all the other strollers it was such a chore to push the kids that i didn't take them anywhere. This was the case with each of the other strollers, but especially the case with the Graco Duo rider tandem and the Peg Perego Duette (both took an act of God to turn).
The other thing I love are the HUUUGE sun canopies, they are independent of each other and practially cover my children completely and since my kids hate direct sunlight this was a must, must, must.
Next I am sure you want to know how it turns....FANTASTIC! I strolled it all around the store when buying it and it could totally get in and out of isles without bumping everything off the shelves. This shocked me. And it does absolutely make it through doorways, a little tricky but it does. The only way to describe the way it turns is to quote my husband "it's like butter" :) It is seriously the smoothest ride ever!! I am so excited about it after going through so many strollers that were such a pain.
Also each seat gives my hefty children plenty of room width-wise which doesn't make sense because they are almost the same dimensions as the others, magic I tell you. They don't look scrunched at all. They HATED the McClaren side by side whatever-its-called, and I hated it too frankly. I was stuggling even in the store and my kids were begging to get out, so cramped very hard to push. I felt this way with the Peg Perego Twin Aria too and was shocked because I LOVE my Peg Pergo Pilko P3. First I could have sworn the Twin Aria was going to snap when I turned, extremely flimsy, and my then two year old was cramped and complaining.
That's another thing about the Bob, that sucker is really solid. It is very well made and has stood the test of time. There is very little (if any) plastic used. EVERY other stroller mentioned above is made of a lot of plastic that was showing wear after a short period of time.
The shocks on the BOB are better than my car, I swear. It glides along and ever so slightly bounces up and down while you push as the movement of pushing is enough to send the shocks absorbing it. It's not a nusance at all if that's what your thinking, it actually makes pushing easier.
The under basket is not the best, but considering everything, they have made the most of it. Also there are two decent sized baskets on the back of each seat. I have not had any problems like I thought I would and I pack a change of clothes for each, lunch for three of us, dolls, power rangers, etc and I have always been good. I do HIGHLY recommend the handle bar console/cup holder. Without it I was lost. It stores my keys, phone, wallet and two water bottles.
As for the height of the seat area itself, my son only keeps growing taller (now 46 inches and counting) and he still fits with no complaints and believe me he would say something :)
Anyway, I hope this helps all your parents who are making the very stressful "perfect stroller" choice. Learn from my mistakes! :) Also, I do wish I had initially purchased the fuzzy seat covers - mostly to protect the seats from the inevitable spills, squished PB&J sandwiches, etc. :)
If I had purchased this stroller two years ago, things would have been a lot different. I know this stroller will last me a looong time. I will never buy a small compact stroller again after this.
The best stroller EVER! June 28, 2007

I am the mother of 15 month old twins, and we use our stroller every day. I have purchased many products online, but this is the first time I have felt strongly enough about a product to actually write a review. We have purchased different brands, including Combi and Peg Perego. This stroller is in an entirely different league. We exercise with it, but we also shop and have leisurely walks around the neighborhood.
This stroller is masterfully designed. It has very comfortable and roomy seats for the twins and excellent adjustable canopies. We have never had better sun coverage for our kids. This stroller moves like a dream. It is effortless to turn and maneuver in mutliple settings. You can literally turn a corner with one finger. On flat terrain, it almost feels self-propelled - that is how smooth and effortless it is to use this stroller. Even though it is a little wider than most double strollers, we have had no problems in malls and shopping centers. The bright Mesa orange is gorgeous and we like how it makes us quite visible to traffic.
I think the only thing that could be improved is the storage. While there is plenty of compartments and room, there is not enough to fit our diaper bag. However, we feel there is plenty of room for the things we need.
The Bob is the easiest stroller we have had as far as quick folding and storage in our van or garage. We love the design of the parking brake as well - it is one metal bar across the back rather than having to mess with individual wheel brakes.
The grandparents rave about it. An even bigger endoresement has come from our 2 part-time nannies, who have many years of experience using multiple brands of strollers. We have recommended the Bob Daullie to all our friends who have younger chidren. This stroller is well worth the money.
 No handbrake and little useful storage... otherwise decent. June 23, 2007

For the money I would expect a better product. Although there is a parking brake, there is no handbrake. Picture this: take BOB to a highschool tournament and roll down a small hill from one field to another. The stroller weighs over 30 lbs, add two 30 lb kids, and diaper bag and all of a sudden you're trying to control a 100 lb cart on wet grass without any way to slow it down. It's an unnerving feeling. We saw $250 strollers at Babies-R-Us with a handbrake.
Speaking of diaper bags, the storage under the cart is rather tight. As we have twins, we have a larger than normal diaper bag which does not fit in the storage bin.
Two big hits in safety and convenience are the reason for three stars. Although I agree with the other positive reviews, I feel we should expect more for the money.
The additional storage unit that installs between the handle bars is a bit stingy on storage (it'll hold a wallet and keys but not much else). I suppose that is done deliberately so that the stoller doesn't tip under the load. However, the bottle holders are too small for anything other than a can of soda or bottle of water. An insulated mug or bottle cozy are too big to fit. And because the storage area under the stroller is so inaccessable, we find ourselves resting the diaper bag up there.
On the plus side it is very easy to control, easy to collapse, and so far seems quite sturdy. I like that the front wheel locks in the forward swiveled position giving a little slightly longer wheelbase. The straps are easy to use and adjust.
The burnt orange seems a little prone to marks, etc, but we're willing to live with that to gain the visibility it offers while out and about.
This is the ONE... June 13, 2007

I knew this was the best stroller ever after spending a couple hours out with my 3 1/2-year-old son, 1-year-old daughter, and 2-year-old nephew. I had the boys in the stroller and my daughter in a sling. There was no arguing about the sun shade because they each had their own, and when the oldest started to play "i got your nose," I could separate them using the dual sun visors. Even carrying a 20+ lb. 1-year-old, I had no problem manuvering the stroller with over 70lbs. of boys in it up and down curbs and hills -- you can truely push this stroller with one finger. The BOB duallie revolution is just as easy to push with only one child in it (no listing to one side when your older child decides to walk). And the true comfort test? The boys fell asleep.
I should mention that I have the 2007 model. We looked at the stroller when my daughter was a newborn, but my son (who is in the 98th % for height) was not comfortable in the seat (the top of the seat hit the back of his neck). The 2007 has redesigned seats that he finds more comfortable (they support his head completely, even when reclined). The 2007 seats also recline fully for younger infants.
I should also clarify that I do not jog with this stroller. The BOB revolution is for the active parent, rather than the athletic one. If you plan to jog with your children consider a fixed-wheel jogger (like the BOB duallie) for that activity. While the front wheel does lock, there is no brake (whick you need if running, especially on hills). But if you are an active parent who wants to invest in one stroller that will fill the bill, this is your stroller.

Nothing better than this! *List of accesories you may want* May 13, 2007

When I first ordered this stroller it nearly brought tears to my eyes to pay that much. BUT it has been worth every single penny!!! It is the greatest stroller out there! I have twins and this stroller finally helped me get out of the house when they were infants (which was a really difficult stage). I even used it to walk to our local grocery store and it fit perfectly through the small doors. In addition to my twins I have a 3-year-old and he often sits on the front of the stroller while the twins sit in the seats -- even with three kids on the stroller it glides along effortlessly and I can even still steer it with one hand.
When the stroller arrives it is SIMPLE to put together. Just slip on the wheels and you are set. It folds up more compactly that a double stroller -- even when loading the entire family (5-people) for a trip "up north" we can still fit the double BOB stroller in the car. Just keep in mind that when you do put the BOB in the back of your car (even an SUV) most likely you will have to take off the wheels. But don't let that scare you -- you won't believe how easy it is to slip the wheels on and off. Trust me -- you'll never regret buying this stroller!!!
When I first bought the stroller I used it mainly just for walks. But now that the twins are older and I can actually get out and about with them there are a few accessories for the stroller that I have purchased. I bought the matching diaper bag and love it because it fits over the handle bar -- so there is no lugging a bag around on your shoulder and it's super easy access and reach into any of the pockets. I also have the wind/rain shield which is great for the cooler Fall months. It keeps the twins warm and protects them from the wind. I bought a double stroller bug net that works great with the BOB and prevents those pesky mosquito's from getting to my babies. :-) I also just now ordered the console for water bottles etc. That will come in very handy when using the stroller to go to parks, carnivals, etc. My suggestion would be to first buy just the stroller before purchasing any accessories. That will give you time to decide what you really need for your use of the stroller.
