BOB Gear - Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie

I got one of these for free (the benefit of being the last of my siblings to have kids lol) and I find it good for shopping. I have an SUV though so getting it in and out isn’t much of a problem. I wouldn’t even bother on our Canadian sidewalks with it though. Especially in winter or spring with the ice salt and gravel on the roads I don’t think we’d make it far. I got a second have BOB stroller… I freaking love that thing. I take it on forest paths all the time, and through the snow the other day lol. but nothing will ever outdo the ergo baby carrier. I have 4 different carriers (I didn’t buy any of them) and my child still lives in the ergo baby. I used it to fly internationally and I’m so happy I didn’t bother with a stroller.

Come to my place in North County and you can try and buy our two BOBS for cheap lol

Depends. My Bob stroller is wayyy better than my umbrella stroller. To the point I'd never suggest a stroller with small tires, they're so annoying to use anywhere with out perfectly flat ground. But the umbrella has it's use case when we need some very small, or flying.

I went full Graco for car seat and stroller, and I’ve gotta say it’s been great (I have a 2.5 yo and about to have my second).  It’s not as fancy or quite as smooth a ride maybe as the uppababy, but it’s worked great for us.  I got a BOB jogging stroller once my kid was a little bigger and we primarily used that for a long time.  Still a huge fan of our graco car seats with a toddler.  They all get held to the same safety standard, some of the price of the nicer stuff is just look and feel rather than function.

We had a Nuna that was good, but then I rented a Bob jogger on vacation and fell in love with it. I ended up buying a Thule Jogger which is going strong with kid number 2, but the Bob is a great choice too. Joggers are just better with different terrain, hop curbs easy, and are simple. The Nuna was great if you're on a smooth sidewalk or something and had too many plastic parts

I have 3. Uppababy Cruz is my everyday stroller, a BOB from fb marketplace is my winter/snow stroller, Mountain Buggy Nano is my travel stroller (has gone all over Canada, US, China, and Portugal). Love all three.

Personally i don't think there is a stroller that will fit both 1 and 2. Usually strollers that are good in snow will be jogging strollers or at least strollers with larger wheels. Even uppababy vista will get stuck in the snow and slush. Personally I have an everyday stroller that's easy to fold (in my case I have a Cruz) and a secondary stroller for winter (i bought a BOB on marketplace for $100).

Yes to the good stroller! I got. City select thinking I would like the single to double on marketplace but didn’t realize how hard it would be to push once I had two kids in it. I still have it but only use it for one and bought a double bob and then a single bob.

With very few exceptions, all our baby clothes were used. We had a local consignment store that would do a “bag sale” to clear out inventory…fill a standard plastic shopping bag for $10. We also had a neighborhood sale and free porch pickup group we sourced tons of stuff from (and passed along things we outgrew). Some stuff is worth splurging on…we both love our BOB jogging stroller and it’s a tank. But so much stuff is going to basically be expendable, so buy it with that mindset!

We went with bugaboo donkey side by side but had the same dilemma - it IS big, but when you have twins you are a travelling circus regardless of size. We love/loved it overall great stroller. We still use it regularly and my twins are almost 3. It fit through most doorways as it’s the size of a wheelchair, but when they were small I would actually often strap one to me and use the donkey in single mode (which is actually smaller than most single tandem) which I loved for grocery shopping. I should note I live in a city so we are walking everywhere - I think if driving everywhere a side by side when kids are bigger - a stroller that has a one handed fold (Zoe, valco, jeep) would be wise to look into for getting in and out of the car. My only complaint with donkey is getting in and out of the car/folding it up isn’t fun, we kept ours set up and just plopped the babies in. For reference we also have an umbrella double travel stroller for flights, and a bob double for running. Donkey is my fave but all for diff purposes!

We had two strollers through two kids. (1) was a cheapie lightweight “umbrella” stroller that was about $20 and lasted through both kids (only damage was from birds at the zoo destroying the bag on the back that had our lunches in it while unattended) and (2) a BOB. The BOB was great and still is great (lives at our vacation rental for other families). Downside of BOB is it’s bulky and the tires need inflating a lot. You don’t need any of the BOB accessories, trust me, we bought them all. Source: I’m primary caregiver in my family so I spent tons of time behind the strollers. The boys and 8 and 10 now and I tend to research the shit out of these things, so happy to provide additional feedback.
