Our Review of the BOB Ironman Duallie double stroller
The BOB Ironman Duallie is a tough two-passenger running stroller, endorsed by the Ironman Triathlon. The Ironman Duallie has strength, durability, is functional and easy to manage – all the fundamental components of a good jogging stroller.
Aside from its sharp look, two features set this double stroller apart from the crowd: the variable suspension system (with up to 3" of play) and the adjustable tracking. In addition, BOB's folding mechanism is amazingly simple - collapsing the stroller down into thirds, making it very easy to transport and store.
Two kids, up to a combined weight of 100 lbs, can ride comfortably in the Ironman Duallie thanks to the near flat recline and generous padding in the seat. This is a truly multi-faceted outdoor stroller: great for running, jogging, walking, or casually cruising the trails.
For your convenience, the Ironman Duallie comes with a caliper hand brake and wrist tether for control while running, plus a parking brake and footbrake. There's also plenty of pockets and storage space beneath the seat, washable fabrics, and a 5 year frame warranty.
For your kids, the dual seats of the Ironman Duallie have 5-point harnesses, and super comfy padding. The reclining seat backs are foam padded, and recline almost completely flat. It is not the best idea to jog while the seat is in full recline, but it's a great option when you're just strolling through the park and your little boy or girl starts to snooze.
What are the differences between the Ironman Duallie and the standard Duallie?
The BOB Duallie features the same unique suspension and folding system. However, the Iroman Duallie has Aluminum rims with stainless steel spokes, while the standard Duallie has Polymer wheels (BMX Style). As a result, the Ironman Duallie is a bit lighter than the standard Duallie.
The Ironman Duallie is equipped with on- road tires for speed and efficiency on the pavement. Also, don't worry about getting your Duallie in an out of shops, it's narrow enough to fit easily through standard doorways.

BOB Ironman Duallie double stroller Reviews
Excellent ride, but minor inconveniences
Great double jogger!
Great for a Serious Runner
Do not purchase based off of Online reviews
I have had a Instep 10K stroller which we loved but it was starting to get old and when we had twins we decided to get a new Jogging stroller. After Reading many online reviews we decided to get the BOB Ironman Duallie. Don't make our mistake and look at it before you buy it. There is an issue with the front Break (It does not hold) It also lacks a rear locking break and when putting my twins in and out it rolls away if you do not have a second person to hold it. I have contact Bob twice about this issue with no response. It also is not truly a functional stroller for running, it lacks the stability that others offer, however it is fine for walks on rough surfaces. It does fold easily, but when folded there are no locks to keep it in a folded position. It also is not as compact as other models and does not fold as flat for transportation and storage as other models. The rear shock on it does work fine, but having properly inflated tires also helps. Have not seen the benefit to the shock adjustment? Make sure you look at several strollers and don't purchase based off of online reviews. There are a lot of less expensive strollers which are more comfortable for the child, more functional, lighter and COST LESS.

Dear L,
Thank you for the feedback.
We took note of your review, and would like to clear up a few inaccuracies. The Ironman Duallie is a running stroller that DOES have both a rear parking break and a means of locking the stroller frame together when folded. We contacted BOB regarding your concerns and here was their response:
When purchasing a new product, it is important to educate yourself on the features and functions by reading your manual. Additional information can be garnered from other sources, including Joggingstroller.com.
All BOB strollers are running strollers. The Ironman was specifically designed for the performance athlete, and is used by many professional runners and triathletes, both during training and racing. BOB strollers meet or exceed all ASTM and Health Canada testing requirements, including specific stability testing.
The 2007 Ironman Duallie has a rear wheel, foot activated, parking brake. If you have a 2006 stroller the hand brake serves as your parking brake. In either case, the safety wrist strap should always be used to ensure that the stroller does not roll away from you. If your brake is not functioning properly, please see item 7 in your manual or contact BOB customer service (800-893-2447) for adjustment instructions.
Also, all BOB strollers lock in the folded position using the safety leash. Please see item 14 in the manual of your BOB Ironman Duallie will inform you of the locking mechanism. BOB strollers have 3" of adjustable suspension. By selecting either the first or second position it is possible to achieve optimum performance based on the weight of your children, your speed, and the terrain you will be traveling. It is recommended that you always have the tires properly inflated.

So dissapointed
Comments from The Staff:
Hi there! That is very unfortunate that you are having issues with your BOB. BOB has very low warranty rates, and they do stand behind their product 100%, so I am glad that they were able to help you out with replacement parts! I am confident that once you get out on the road that the stroller will be worth it! If you have anymore problems, feel free to contact us at info@JoggingStroller.com. Happy running!
Lindsey
outstanding
Great stroller!
Love it!
Comments from The Staff:
BOB made an adjustment to the design of their strollers after 2005, so they should fit through standard doorways. If you have a very narrow space, you might have an issue, but to my knowledge, you should be good through standard sized doorways, which I believe are generally about 32".
