Absolutely love this stroller - car seat is fine,

Absolutely love this stroller - car seat is fine, September 8, 2007

We looked at a lot of strollers and were considering the Graco Metrolite and a couple of others. bob revolution duallie stroller is extremely light weight, very well built, and has all kinds of great features. We weren't sure about the tri-wheeled set-up until we played with this one in a store. Now, we can't imagine having the quad set-up.
- The larger wheels have made bob revolution duallie stroller excellent for long walks around our neighborhood.
- bob revolution duallie stroller folds very, very easily
- bob revolution duallie stroller folds in a way that keeps the wheels down and everything else up, out of the dirt and wet ground.
- bob revolution duallie stroller looks much more stylish than all the big plasticky Graco's and other strollers in this price range

The car seat is fine, but nothing special. The sun shade is a little flimsy. We were also a little concerned at the rescinded Consumer Reports article. bob revolution duallie stroller turns out that they were testing at much higher speeds than intended, but this one still didn't do as well as a couple of others.

I was going to order from amazon but i found a lower price on web and ordered this.

If i were the CEO of saftey 1, i would have sacked the marketing VP. the product looks much better than the minimal photos. I will put up some photos soon.

there is one ambiguous instruction in manual. So bob revolution duallie stroller took 25 minutes to assemble which should ideally take 15. [ i had to remove the wheels and reassemble after finding the brakes didn't work ... as i had put them the wrong way.]

But once that was corrected, by wife who was very apprehnsive on buying it, was visibly very happy.

With sleek aluminium frame, and good color combination, bob revolution duallie stroller doesn't look like the junk of meaningless plastic extrusions like gracco etc., we saw in babys'r'us or even walmart. i like that bob revolution duallie stroller is neutral color.

It has an upscale chic look. but the fittings are very robust and clicks are quite reassuring. YOu could easily find out that they compromised a few obvious design choices for safety.

The front wheel is actually a double wheel, giving more stability. The front wheels rotate unlike the fixed ones, but if you are taking a long walk.. you have a switch to lock them without allowing the movement. this i like best... most tri-wheel strollers don't hav this option.

With the car seat on, bob revolution duallie stroller looks even better. The car seat is of same standard as snugrider, but not as cool as the Chicco one. But the car base is better designed than some of the leading car seat bases.

2 of the 3 cupholders are small, for american size. I wonder if they meant them for baby bottles than beveage glasses. the canopy has two transparent windows from front and back to look at the baby. bob revolution duallie stroller also has a toddler foot-rest which many 3 wheel strollers don't.


And like all 3 wheel stollers bob revolution duallie stroller offers more space for storing goods below the seat. I haven't used the seat inclining mechanism yet, and that does not seem super convenient; but i think i can guess why they opted for this system than easier ones.

very satisfied with bob revolution duallie stroller overall... waiting for my daughter to like bob revolution duallie stroller when she arrive in Feb :)
