Where to Buy
 

Like its single counterpart, the BOB Revolution Duallie (*Est. $570) receives a great deal of praise from professional reviewers and consumers alike. The stroller features the same durable, lightweight aluminum alloy frame as its sister models, the BOB Ironman Duallie (*Est. $480) and the BOB Sport Utility. According to reviews, the Revolution Duallie is one of the most versatile jogging strollers. The 16-inch swivel front wheel gives this stroller superior maneuverability. Reviewers note that it is ideal for navigating tight or crowded areas such as farmers' markets or the mall.

While the Revolution Duallie does feature the ability to lock the front wheel, reviewers note that there are better options for serious runners. Since the Revolution Duallie does not have a hand brake, parents who are running at high speeds or on hilly terrain should look to other models, such as the Ironman Duallie (*Est. $480). The plentiful storage is praised by most reviewers, but some say that when a child is in a reclined position, it can be frustrating to access the storage baskets. Reviewers also say that for its hefty price tag, the stroller is missing some necessary accessories, such as a cupholder. The one other drawback is the folded size of the stroller. Some consumer reviews say that, once folded, this stroller is difficult to lift and store in the trunk of a vehicle.  

There are several reviews of the BOB Revolution Duallie, though it should be noted that most are not transparent on their testing methods. BabyGizmo.com, AOL's ParentDish.com and About.com all give fairly complete reviews of the stroller and rate the stroller very highly. The best review comes from Hollie Schultz of BabyGizmo.com, but her review is from 2008. ParentDish.com and About.com offer more recent reviews and note similar pros and cons as the BabyGizmo.com review. Owner feedback of the Revolution Duallie is plentiful and positive. Buzzillions.com offers the most extensive and diverse comments, with more than 200 consumers weigh-in on this stroller.

Christine Luff tested the BOB Revolution Duallie over several months with her two children. The review is generally positive.

Editors of JoggingStroller.com report the BOB Revolution Duallie is an ideal fit for active, urban parents looking for a versatile double stroller. They do not note how the stroller was tested, although, they are very positive about its features. Editors do say that those looking for a stroller that is more suited for faster-paced running should look toward the BOB Ironman Duallie, due to the lack of a hand brake on the Revolution Duallie.
