We love our double jogger! The kids are so comfortable and it pushes really nicely. My husband was joking that it is like a mini SUV. We live on a horse farm and I push up and down our bumpy dirt road and to the park with ease. The tires are really big and sturdy. I am glad we didn't go with the swivel because I think the bumpy road would have made the jogger turn to the side. I also love the parking brake because I can put it on in the barn if they fall asleep and I can ride my horse. I am looking forward to having it on the beach this summer. I know it will push through the sand easily. The canopy's cover all the way over my daughter's feet. This is the only stroller that keeps the sun out of her eyes. It has been a life saver with a 6 month old and 3 year old. A must have!

We bought this model over five years ago; the picture looks like they may have updated it a bit since that time. We have loved our massive stroller.It is in excellent condition still despite nearly daily use. After five years of tipping over, being thrown into our car trunk, and slamming into countless door jams, it looks nearly new and is just barely starting to lose some of the foam grip. The tires were a little subpar for the price, but that's the easiest thing to fix. The parking brake never worked at all--even after having a bike expert mess with it, we could never get it to lock in place even unloaded on a flat surface. The safety strap is very well made, and I recommend playing yo-yo with it when you walk up hills. Your kids will love it. Kids are well protected from sun and light rain/snow with the canopy up, but it's not much help in pouring rain. We haven't tried the optional cover, so our kids are manly and wet. The harness is adjustable at several points and fit all our kids as soon as they were fit for public exposure and we can still comfortably secure our strapping kindergartener. It is huge, but it fits in the tiny trunk of our Saturn sedan, so I'm sure it would fit in just about any car so long as you remove the wheels (takes 2 seconds once you are used to it). The list of places this won't go is long. I have lifted it over many gates at zoos and parks (usually with passengers), but it is quite heavy and I think it may be too much for a lot of moms. It does not fit in most public doorways, so it's not ideal for running errands, and also you would destroy everything in your path if you tried to take it into a store (though the storage compartment under the seats is spacious and fairly accessible). I haven't done too much trail running so I can't comment on the fixed wheel being a hindrance; it's not an issue for us, though you do have to take the occasional 3-part u-turn. In conclusion, for running, trips to the park, or anywhere a really large stroller would be welcome, it is ideal, indestructible, and worth every cent. If I need to, I will buy a single at some point. I can't imagine having to replace this one, though.

BOB makes an excellent product. The quality of the stroller was excellent. My only problem was the fixed wheel. The trails around my house are not straight therefore the stroller was difficult to turn. I got the BOB Revolution Dualie instead and I love it!!! The extra cost was worth it for me. It is the best stroller I have ever owned, and I have owned a lot!
