Top rated double jogging stroller; good for long distances and fast paces
- Fixed front wheel
- Durable
- Lightweight and narrow
- Superior suspension system
- Difficult to turn
- Handle bar isn't adjustable
- Expensive
The BOB Ironman Duallie (*Est. $480) is considered one
of the top-rated double jogging strollers. Compared to other BOB stroller
models, it is by far the most suitable for long distance or high paced
running, thanks to its fixed front wheel and smooth aluminum rims with stainless
steel spokes. At only 31 pounds, this model is lighter than many similar
strollers, though it should be noted that its weight capacity is also slightly
lower at 100 pounds. The frame is narrow and fits with ease through standard
doors. General reviews of the stroller are positive. However, owners say
that while the fixed wheel is ideal for running, it makes maneuvering in
more compact spaces difficult. Parents looking for more versatility in their
stroller should look to the BOB Revolution Duallie (*Est. $570). The
The Ironman Duallie earns praise for its suspension system, which lends for a perfectly smooth ride and can handle most bumps and shocks encountered on long and even hilly runs. Storage is considered ample, but can be difficult to access when the seats are reclined. Parents should also note that the handlebar is not height-adjustable and can be uncomfortable for those over 6 feet tall. Despite these minor drawbacks, the BOB Ironman Duallie, thanks to its compact, lightweight frame and durability comes highly recommended.
While there are some professional reviews of the BOB Ironman Duallie, most of them come from little-known sources rather than established publications or websites. There is little transparency as far as testing methods. FitPregnancy magazine, perhaps the most reputable publication discussing this stroller, does not offer a formal review. However, the writer's insight is helpful in evaluating the Ironman Duallie. Owner reviews, such as those at Buzzillions.com and Amazon.com are far more helpful in assessing the jogger. Consumer reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with praise for the stroller's smooth ride, adjustable tracking and light weight. Criticism revolves around the size of the stroller when collapsed and turning radius.
