BOB Revolution Duallie - Recommended
The BOB Revolution Duallie: one of the most well-constructed, functional double strollers currently on the market. BOB has been setting the standard in sturdy, durable stroller construction for a years now, perfecting their original designs with function rather than over-zealous features.
The BOB Revolution Duallie is our choice as the best side-by-side double stroller currently on the market.
The Revolution Duallie is becoming more and more popular as a dependable, easy-to-push double stroller in both urban areas and on dirt paths and trails. Not only does the stroller boast pneumatic tires, but like all BOB strollers there is a suspension system built directly into the frame structure instead of being placed directly above the rear or front wheels (such suspension placement acts merely as an extension of the suspension absorption of the pneumatic - or air filled - tires). The placement of the Revolution's suspension is important - not only does it absorb the shock and bumps of dilapidated sidewalks and larger objects in the park - it absorbs the force of a turn - making it one of the easiest and lightest strollers to maneuver. Even with larger 35 lb children in each seat. This suspension system is not found on any other side-by-side double stroller. Other stroller systems are easier to push if pneumatic wheels are incorporated (see Mountain Buggy Urban Double and Valco Runabout Tri-Mode Twin ATS), but B.O.B.'s suspension system makes it even easier to navigate - especially on the wrists and back.
INNOVATIONS
The BOB Revolution Duallie has given each seat a canopy of its own - and a large one at that. The Mountain Buggy Urban Double (or, MBUD) incorporates one hood to cover both seats, and it does not shield as much as the Revolution Duallie. The Revolution's hood is fully adjustable, allowing for as much or as little coverage as desired.
The frame structure is lighter, making storage and travel a little more convenient than the competition.
The stroller incorporates one swivel wheel in front instead of two. This feature reduces the overall weight of the stroller, and makes maneuvering more convenient: there aren't two wheels that have to interact together while pushing.
There is an absence of exposed metal pieces in the stroller seat and on the footrest. Many times exposed metal surfaces react to weather conditions, getting quite hot or cold.
Larger seats offer the most growth potential for older children.
High impact composite polymer wheel spokes make the wheels easier to clean and maintain. Polymer also inhibits deterioration from rust.
FEATURES
- Front wheel swivels for supreme maneuverability and locks out for jogging or while navigating over rough terrain. It is also helpful to lock out the front wheel while going up or down steep inclines as it prevents the stroller from veering.
- Seats independently recline to 70 degrees from the vertical position. This allows for their use with an infant - 2 months old without added head or body support, from birth with with an added body support (JJ Cole Body Support is fantastic). Note: it is not recommended to jog with a child under 8-9 months. Please consult with your pediatrician.
- Well padded 5-point height and girth adjustable harnessing system.
- Fully adjustable, dual canopies with individual peek holes.
- Two pockets located in each seat to store sippy cups, snacks and toys.
- Storage pockets located on the back of each seat.
- Adjustable (two position) suspension system built into the frame structure.
- 16" quick-release rear wheels and a 12" front wheel - versatile enough for jogging, urban walking, or trailblazing.
- Low Boy Cargo Basket - note its height from the ground. Many of the competitor's baskets are too close to the ground, allowing the basket to scrape when going up/down curbs or through snow.
- Fast, easy, compact folding system for storage or travel.
- Parking brake engages both rear wheels with one movement.
- Lightweight aluminum frame structure.
- Suitable from birth to 50 lbs in each seat.
- Includes wrist safety strap so you don't lose your stroller if it tries to get away.
