Our Stroller Review

We give this stroller a full rating of 5 / 5 stars based on our 7 critierias of what makes a great stroller.  Read on to see why this stroller will suit your lifestyle and see 
what's included.

• Travel Convenience
• Safety
• Mobility
• Durability
• What parents will love
• What your baby will love
• What we don't love so much  

Travel convenience:  For those who are hard-core runners - the BOB Duallie Ironman Jogging Stroller is the right jogging stroller for you and your baby.  BOB's lightest duallie double jogging stroller of only 34 lbs, and for a capacity of 2!  The lightweight frame and the thinner tires helps the jogging stroller run faster on smooth surfaces.  When you have two kids in the stroller you will thank BOB for making the jogging stroller so light and so easy to push, afterall the maximum weight of your kids combine weight is 100 lbs!  But if you're looking to go on some dirt trails, you would be better off with a jogging stroller that is a bit heavier with thicker treads to sustain the rugged terrain like the BOB Duallie Sport Utility Jogging Stroller. 

Plus when you take your BOB to travel, you'd be amazed there are only 2 steps to folding it.  It's easy and fast and does not require you to remove any wheels to store it away, check out the video above to see how easy it really is.

Safety:  We like to think of BOB as (Best Of the Best) because BOB strollers are really a superb product so none the less they would include the best harness, which is an adjustable 5-point harness with a sternum strap.

To run with this jogging stroller, rest assure that it is equiped with a hand-activated front wheel brake that acts as a slowing mechanism (see demo at top).  For any situations where you need to slow down or to brake fast the hand brake is a favorite for many parents.  Since the BOB Duallie Ironman Jogging Stroller will go fast for you, safety features like the hand brake really comes handy.

While most other jogging strollers attaches the safety strap to the handle (top) of the stroller, if you fall you will tip over the stroller causing harm to your baby (see demo at top).  Whereas the BOB Duallie Revolution Jogging Stroller will not tip the stroller over since the safety strap is attached to the bottom bar (between the two back wheels) of the stroller. So not only will the jogging stroller be safely attached to you, your baby will not be at any risk if you do happen to fall.

Unlike the BOB Duallie Revolution Jogging Stroller, the Ironman's front wheel is fixed for superior on/off-road performance.  It does have less maneuverability if you plan to take it to a grocery store, but this jogging stroller is made to go on the road to do some running.  

Another great safety feature is the rear wheel foot-activated parking brake, it's easy to operate and locks out both rear wheels.  It'll come in handy when you are on a slope!

We also recommend parents to install a front and rear lighting system (available at your local bike shop) if you intend to use this stroller at night time.

Extra padding added to 5-point harness for comfort

Durable fabric stands up to wear and tear

Mobility:   The BOB Duallie Ironman Jogging Stroller has a 3" suspension and three 16" large wheels to go over heavy duty terrain, any bumpy road will be a smooth ride for your baby with this kinda gear!  Plus the high-quality slick tires minimize rolling resistance while the stiffer suspension maximizes maneuverability and response.

Whether you use the stroller for fast paced walking or a little jog you will find the stroller has a remarkable adjustable tracking system for your stroller to go straight rather than swirving to side. It is like a car that has a perfect allignment versus a car that has a damaged allignment - I think we all know how annoying that can be for drivers, it's the same for strollers!

Stiffer suspension maximizes maneuverability and response when running

Durability:   The frame of the BOB Duallie Ironman Jogging Stroller is made from aircraft grade welded aluminum.  It's tough and lightweight at the same time, it can last through a life time for generations to come.  As for the fabric it is water and stain resistant and the padded seat composes of closed cell foam which does not absorb liquid and odors like the open cell foam that most other strollers uses.  So not only will there be no stains on your jogging stroller, it will block out mold and smell from the materials as well.

All BOB strollers have a five-year warranty on the frame and one year on small parts and fabric.  BOB will warranty your strollers against all defects in material and workmanship.

Any warranty issues can be handled by contacting your original place of purchase www.WayFair.com.  They will be able to file a warranty claim and have any replacement parts ordered if needed.  You will need to provide them with your original receipt of purchase along with your stroller’s serial number. The serial number is located at the bottom of the right hand swing arm (square tubing) just above the wheel.

What parents will love:  The BOB Duallie Ironman Jogging Stroller will be a perfect fit to your lifestyle if you are a serious runner on tracks or paved roads.  It's has all the gear for you and your baby to have a safe and very enjoyable ride to breathe in fresh air and get all the excercise you need.

What your baby will love:  Your two kids will love to spend time together enjoying the breeze when you are getting all the excercise you need.  Everybody will have a great time since the seats are comfortably padded and the parent is enjoying the breeze of pushing the high-quality jogging stroller.  And every parent that have used the BOB Duallie Ironman Jogging Stroller would agree that the sun canopy is the largest they have ever seen. When the hot sun is out, protection from harmful UV rays is essential to keeping your baby happy. Even when there is light rain the large canopy really does it's job keeping your baby well covered. As for the comfortable level for your baby, the seat and harness are both well padded and the seat reclines upto 70 degrees from vertical position. And what baby wouldn't love to see the great outdoors with their parent! Enjoy the fresh air and the excercise - all life's essentials to living healthy and happy.

What we don't love so much:  There's really nothing we can complain about this jogging stroller.  If the BOB Duallie Ironman Jogging Stroller is the right fit for your lifestyle, than it has everything you need.  It's equipped with the best safety features and materials for best performance running.  If you are however looking for something a little more well-rounded than we suggest taking a look at the BOB Duallie Revolution Jogging Stroller where the front wheel can be fixed or swivel allowing you to take your jogging stroller for a stroll in the park or the mall.

As for the price of the stroller many parents would expect to have an adjustable handlebar to suit most parent's height.  In fact BOB is aware of this complaint and they justify that the non-adjustable handlebar is safer for the usage of this jogging stroller.  If you still prefer a jogging stroller with an adjustable handlebar, see Bumbleride Strollers.
