Our Review of the BOB SUS Duallie
The BOB Sport Utility Duallie is a rugged double jogging stroller from BOB strollers, made for runners who like to get off the beaten path. The BOB Duallie is essentially two BOB Sport Utility Strollers in one. The BOB Duallie has all the qualities an active parent needs in a durable, trail-friendly double jogging stroller.
The BOB SUS Duallie has top-quality safety and comfort features to assure that your kids will stay secure and cozy while you head out for a few miles on the trails.
Outdoorsy Moms and Dads who are serious about Fitness revere the BOB Sport Utility Duallie.
The Only Double Jogging Stroller with Adjustable Tracking
There are a few standout features of the BOB Duallie that make it one of the most sought after double jogging strollers we carry. For starters, the unique adjustable tracking feature (available exclusively with BOB jogging strollers) minimizes drift while you push, eliminating the need to correct your course while you run. With properly adjusted tracking, your Sport Utility Duallie stroller will roll in a straight line without veering at all.
In addition, the Duallie's knobby 16" tires, mag rims and durable aluminum frame, make it the most 'rugged' of all BOB's double strollers. Parents who like to head off-road need not worry about shaking their kid up at all, since the Sport Utility Duallie also comes with a deluxe suspension system that has a full 3" of play. The rear footbrake provides maximum control when the stroller is stopped.
Another distinct feature of the BOB Duallie is its fantastic folding system. Simply pull the red levers and move the handles forward, then grab the lever / carrying handle beneath the seat and lift.
The BOB Duallie has Comfort and Safety Features for Both Precious Passengers
The abundant safety features of BOB Duallie include a 5-point harness, a handbrake for slowing down on inclined areas, and a parking brake. Also, BOB strollers use a unique wrist tether system that attaches to the axle instead of the handlebar. With this tether system, a stumble while running won't take the Sport Utility Duallie down with you.
The BOB Duallie has great passenger comfort features like a supportive and padded seat with a near flat recline for total relaxation – and don't forget about the deluxe suspension system.
To top it all off, the BOB Double Car Seat Adapter makes the BOB Sport Utility Duallie compatible with these popular infant car seats:
- Britax Companion
- Graco Snug Ride
- Graco SafeSeat (Step 1)
- Peg Perego Primo Viaggio SIP
Bottom Line: Parents with two kids who want to maintain an active lifestyle cannot go wrong with the BOB Duallie. It's light, rugged, and made to move. What's more, this top-selling double jogging stroller is easy to fold into a compact package and of an unmatched quality. Simply put, it's great.
The BOB Sport Utility Duallie and BOB Ironman Duallie are two of the very best double jogging strollers we carry. The differences between the two are largely a matter of personal preference. The SUS is the way to go if you run off-road, while the Ironman Duallie (with thinner road-ready tires) is geared toward running on paved streets or tracks.

Great ride for 3 yr old and 8 mo old
Reviewer: Carly , Fayetteville, NC

I was weary of purchasing this stroller because it had a permanently fixed wheel, other reviewers found that it was difficult to turn and ended up returning it for the higher priced Revolution Duallie. After using it for two days, however, my husband and I found that turning it during use was actually very simple! When using the stroller for its intended purpose, i.e. jogging/running, it's very easy to adjust the strollers direction with the curve of the road. It's only when you have to make a major turn that you have to lift the front wheel off the ground. The ride is superior, it's so smooth and easy! The pull strings for the individual shades are fantastic and I love being able to look through the top of the shades to see what my kids are up to. The shades go down so far too! It has amazing sun protection! While the storage rack underneath is small, it serves its purpose and is great for small bags and water bottles. I have a diaper bag that I previously purchased from Target (made by Spark) that can attach to a stroller handlebar and it was great for storing water bottles and any other necessities (it doesn't get in the way either.) Assembly was pretty simple, the stroller comes 97% assembled and all you have to do is attach the wheels. We did have trouble with the front wheel, directions for installing that one were a little confusing and took us longer than necessary. The hardest part was setting the break. We still don't have it adjusted correctly. Also, the wheel doesn't spin perfectly straight which is causing the stroller to drift to the right during use. Our major complaint is with the instructions, it says to take the stroller to a certified BOB dealer to have them correctly set the wheel/break. The nearest BOB dealer to us is an hour and a half away...we find that statement a little ridiculous. That's a major inconvenience/request! But, despite that, I give the stroller 5 stars. It's extremely high quality, easy to use, smooth, and attractive.
Oh, and the website shipping was probably the most fantastic thing ever! Never in my life have I had anything shipped so quickly to me, for free!!! I ordered it on a Wednesday and it arrived on Friday (earlier than the 3-4 days it said it would probably take!) Every other website that sold this product (and I looked at all of them) charged outrageous shipping, additional oversize charges, or delivery would have taken a week or more. This website is probably the best website I have ever ordered from, what a fantastic experience!

Mom of 2 boys (6m &4yr)

I was a little nervous about buying a stroller online but made the right choice cuz i love this stroller. It took less than a week to get here (right on time). And i was pleased to find out that it was easy enough to assemble on my own without any tools. They made it seem like it would be hard to attach the front wheel but if you read the directions carefully its not hard at all. It has plenty of storage which is important with 2 boys. The bottom compartment is big enough for all that you"ll need and i would recommend buying the extra cup holder adapter which fits perfectly. The ride is really smooth but the front fixed wheel is something that you need to get used to it because you have to lift the front wheel anytime you want to turn but that's not hard at all. It also fits through doorways well and the sun shades are great. Oh, and it folds up really well for a double jogger.

Quality Stroller
Reviewer: Denise , Philly suburbs
Date: December 17, 2008
We are very happy with our purchase of the BOb SUS stroller (in red). It is a high quality stroller and the components are top grade. It is on the heavy side but I think that is to be expected in a double jogger with big knobby tires. It is smooth to push though and the only time I notice its weight is when pushing uphill with both my 3 year old and my 6-month old inside. The individual sun visors are great since my older child likes to have hers back and I need to keep the little one protected more and they provide alot of coverage against sun and wind/cold air. The stroller folds up relatively small for its size...parking brake is easy to put on with one foot. I got the console thing too because it has a zippered compartment for my keys and cell phone when we are out running and going to the park for awhile...although the cargo hold area underneath is ample I don't like keeping small valuable stuff in there. Both kids seem comfy, the adjustable seat recline is great in that sense. I had a cheaper Instep double which was lightweight but poor quality and not nearly as smooth and comfy for the kids...the BOB SUS is worth every single penny!

Great stroller
Reviewer: eric , mount joy, PA
Date: November 28, 2008
i love this stroller for jogging and going over rough terrain. it has opened up a new world for me as far as getting my needed exercise and taking the kids out at the same time. it is on the heavy side, and the front wheel is fixed so it is not incredibly easy to steer, but not terribly difficult either. my wife has had some problems popping it open as well. overall, though we are glad we purchased this, and also very happy with joggingstroller.com and their quick service.

Good buy
Reviewer: Anonymous , Verona, WI
Date: November 22, 2008
We recently purchased a BOB SUS Duallie to replace our Tike Tech Double ATX all terrain stroller. The two strollers are very similar, but now that we have both, it is very obvious that the BOB stroller has far better quality and is worth the extra $80.
The BOB is smaller in size, easily fitting through doorways, which is a plus when it comes to side by side double strollers. There are built in shocks making for a smooth ride for your children. It is very easy to manuver around once you get used to the fixed wheel design. I would definitly recommend this stroller to any active parent out there that ,loves to walk or run with there kids.

The double stroller works equally well on and off trail, but not so much on curving paths as the front wheel is fixed. I didn't entirely realize this when I purchased it. There is a windy trail near my house that is a pain to navigate because, to turn the stroller, you have to press down on the handles, quite the pain while running. If you do get the stroller, keep in mind it's best for straight trails and would work very well with the waist-style jogging attachment, saving your wrists and freeing your hands.

Worth the Price
Reviewer: Anonymous , Arlington, Virginia
Date: August 19, 2008
I researched double jogging strollers online, through friends and in Toddler Bargains and ended up choosing the BOB SUS Duallie double stroller. Toddler Bargains made it sound like you can't really run with this stroller (they recommend the IronMan fixed wheel stroller instead), but I decided to go with this one and am SO glad I did. My neighborhood is very hilly and I use the swivel wheel more often than fixed wheel even when I'm jogging - otherwise you can't steer the stroller. I'm also not the runner I was before kids, so this one is perfect for someone only doing short distances. At first my kids (2 and 1) didn't like it - they were used to the Graco DuoGlider that has trays in front of each seat for their sippy cups, but now they think it's fun to sit side by side and go "super fast" in the "new running stroller." My quibbles with this stroller are that it's HEAVY and awkward to transport (doesn't snap together closed like lighter/cheaper strollers, so it's hard to carry into the house). I usually make my husband lug it out to the van if I'm taking it down to the Potomac River for a jog. Also, our house was built in 1941, so it doesn't fit through the front door unless it's collapsed, so I have to drag it down the stairs first, then run back inside to grab the kids. But, it is amazingly smooth and light once it's assembled and you're on your way. SO much easier to push and steer than any other stroller we've ever had. And it's fun to get outside for exercise with my kids. No more excuses now!

Great for Running
Reviewer: Debra P. , Virginia
Date: April 12, 2008
Okay I keep my jogger in my garage open so I don't fold it up. You need to get the wind/rain cover too. Worth the money for the extra one. We also got the jogger clock/distance thing. That is awesome! The Bob stays on track and is so light even with 2 kids in it (okay not so light when I am running up large hills...not joggers fault...mommy is getting into shape). There are no cup holders so that is the biggest downside. Of course you need your water bottle. I attached the ones screw on the side. I have a 4 month old son and he fits great in it and I can fold down the seat when he is napping. Basket is a little hard to access but I looked in person at the other joggers and they all have the bar in the middle of the baskets. So you cannot get one that is easy access.

BOB Duallie + active family equals Happier family
Reviewer: John , Ramstein, Germany
Date: March 11, 2008
My wife and I bought the BOB Duallie in preparation for twin boys on the way this summer. We already have a one year old daughter at home, and I am training for a another marathon again, so we thought this would be an additional tool to get the family out of the house to spend quality time outdoors now and in the future.
The Duallie was boxed well, and arrived only 5 days after I ordered from JoggingStroller.com. We have a military address in Germany, so that shows how efficient JoggingStroller.com is in making sure shipments are prompt. JoggingStroller.com customer service is also the best I have experienced shopping online. The stroller was very easy to put together safely and confidently. For our coming twins, we purchased 2 Snuzzler products to make the fit safer for the newborns until they are about 6-8 months. Our one year old daughter fits perfectly in the stroller. I also recommend buying the sun/bug cover and weather shield, both of which are extremely overpriced.
When assembled, the stroller fits easily through all the doors in our German house. It is still large, and if you plan to drive it around and use it, you will need some free space in your vehicle. My wife and I drive a BMW 5 Series station wagon and have a roof cargo container. In the near future with 3 kids in the back seat, and a 85 pound Rhodesian Ridgeback dog taking up the trunk area, even our current roof cargo rack will not be able to hold this stroller. We will either need to move up to a minivan or find a larger roof container. If you have free space available though, this stroller will fit into any normal midsized trunk.
Our first few uses were simple 2-3 mile walks off-road. After becoming familiar with the product, I took my daughter on an 18 mile long run which was mostly on rough trails, hilly terrain, and through winds of 15-25 mph. She really enjoyed the ride except for the time where she woke up from her nap and the weather shield was on. Normally I run my long runs at roughly a 7:20-7:50/mile pace, but pushing this stroller with the high winds and hilly terrain brought me down to about 9:15/mile. The run was a great test and showed me what this stroller is capable of, which is a lot. Tree roots, gravel, mud, and potholes are not showstoppers for the BOB Duallie. It was well balanced and easy to control even with my 25 pound daughter on one side and nothing on the other side. The only issue we had was a deflated flat tire on the back right side after the run while the stroller was parked. I used the Bell Slime product to patch the tube, while JoggingStroller.com promptly sent me a new tube.
I think the BOB Duallie is one of the best products active parents with 2 or more children can purchase. In combination with a child backpack, it will allow me to take the 3 kids out for a few hours after I return home from work so my wife can get much needed sleep. It will allow us to get out of the house and go on long hikes through the German countryside over rough terrain or smooth surfaces. And it will also allow me to spend more time with the kids during some easier 10K, 1/2 marathon, or marathon training sessions.
