The best jogging, mall, travelling etc stroller!, December 22, 2007
By Olga (CA, USA) - See all my reviews

Here is the summary of the reviews that I read on many websites and everyone seems to agree:

-"It looks great and I get tons of compliments."
- "it is as close as you can get to an all in one stroller!"
- it's a great jogging, mall, walking etc stroller
- bob revolution duallie stroller is not too big.
- but bob revolution duallie stroller is not too small (like a mall stroller that is usually is too light and good for a baby, but not very good and stable for a toddler).
- bob revolution duallie strollerfolds up easy, but bob revolution duallie stroller doesn't stand up while folded which is ok if you have enough space in your garage or house to store it.
- bob revolution duallie stroller takes 2 steps to fold bob revolution duallie stroller and a little strength to unfold (you kind of have to throw it).
- The suspension makes the roughest terrain smooth.
- "We take bob revolution duallie stroller everywhere from outdoors to the mall. It's so smooth and turns on a dime. I recommend the beverage holder as well...it's really handy."

"Parents looking for a slightly lighter Revolution with a more compact fold (but less jogging potential) should check out the BOB Revolution 12" AW, with three 12" aluminum wheels instead of 16" rear wheels. If you have two kids, or like having plenty of extra room, take a peek at the two seater BOB Revolution Duallie double stroller, which is also car seat compatible."


Infant Car Seat Compatibility

# Fits Britax Companion
# Fits Graco Infant Safe Seat (Step 1)
# Fits Graco Snugride
# Fits Peg Perego Primo Viaggio

Car seat recommendations: Graco because bob revolution duallie stroller fits in almost every stroller/car seat adapter (Combi for example doesn't fit in BOB stroller). Graco SnugRide is the most recommended because it's light (usually about 7 lbs off the base) and it's not big and will fit into the shopping cart also. Graco SafeSeat is good too but it's heavier and much bigger (longer). Yes, SafeSeat model fits larger babies and you probably can use bob revolution duallie stroller for longer than SnugRide, but would you want to carry a 30 pound baby (+ 9 lbs car seat) around? Probably not. So I suggest use SnugRide till baby is 22 lbs (your baby should be about 7-12 months old, each baby is different) and then switch to a convertible or toddler seat which hold a baby from 22 lbs up to about 60 lbs. You can put your 6 months old baby directly into the stroller without the car seat. Snuzzler will make your baby very comfortable and happy too :)


Changes to the BOB Revolution for 2007:
*New colors
*Increased seat recline to 70 degrees off vertical
*More seat padding

Recommended extras (all have no less than 4.5 star reviews):
* infant car seat adapter (look for one with tray)
* Snuzzler (Kiddopotamus & Co Snuzzler Complete Head And Body Support For Any Seat)
* handlebar console
* weather shield revolution (if bob revolution duallie stroller rains or snows often when you have your baby).
* If you plan to travel often also get the "BOB Stroller Travel Bag Black"

"Bottom Line: The BOB Revolution strikes the ideal balance between a walking stroller and a jogging stroller. bob revolution duallie stroller weighs a bit more and has less storage than most travel system strollers, but good luck taking one of them out for a jog - or even over some dirt trails. With the Revolution, you can manage any terrain with total ease, and bob revolution duallie stroller has a one-of-a-kind adjustable tracking system for jogging. Altogether, you have one of the best all-purpose strollers ever produced."
