The BOB Revolution 12-inch AW Duallie (*Est. $590) is a take off of the top rated BOB Revolution Duallie. The stroller features the same lightweight and tough welded aluminum frame as its sister model, and the seats are nearly identical. The 12-inch AW Duallie differs, however, in its wheel size. Where the original Revolution Duallie featured 16-inch back wheels, this stroller features 12-inch back wheels. This allows for better maneuverability around urban sidewalks and while running errands. The smaller wheels also mean that the stroller folds more compactly than the basic Revolution Duallie. In general, reviewers give rave reviews to the BOB Revolution 12-inch AW Duallie. They praise the versatility, light weight, and durability that the stroller offers. Owners note that the stroller, while expensive, will last through most of their children's stroller years. They also say that the excellent maneuverability, extra-large sun canopies, and superior suspension system make the stroller comfortable for children. The only real criticisms are that the stroller lacks many accessories -- particularly a parent console -- and that the handle height is not adjustable.
The BOB Revolution 12-inch AW Duallie is highly rated on several parenting websites, including BabyGizmo and Celebrity Baby Blog.
