BOB Gear - Revolution SE Duallie

After mine were out of the car seat phase where they clicked into the stroller, we moved to the Bob side by side stroller and don’t think I’ve touched the tandem since. In fact I’ll be selling it on Facebook soon. But the Bob is so much easier in all the ways I use it.

As a collector of strollers and someone who lives near you- I primarily use my bugaboo butterfly which is considered a travel stroller. It meets most of your requirements except it doesn’t reverse face and doesn’t have a bassinet option. There is a car seat adapter for Nuna though. The only caveat is you can’t really use the actual stroller until baby can sit up mostly- so 4-6 months. But the basket is big for a travel stroller and the wheels have continued to impress me when I push it on random terrain (dirt/rocky paths, grass occasionally). I also have a silver cross wave which is a single to double tandem which is big but is our “big outing” stroller we use at amusement parks and other things my older child will want to sit for periodically and also a bob double (and single 🙃) which I use for neighborhood walks. However these are mostly used because I have two. If I only had one we would 100% take the butterfly to amusement parks because it is so much smaller. But if I had to pick one to keep or originally start with by itself it would be the butterfly. It also fits in the overhead of a plane which is nice for travel. We also have the rider board for my older child for travel or milder outings where she may want to ride/sit for not too long

I have a BOB stroller as my main. My little guy is only 5 months old so the infant car seat adapter has been so easy to use! Its gone everywhere! I dont even care how bulky it is, that thing is versatile and smooth af. I have a summer stroller a friend gave us as a lighter on the go stroller for when he gets older.

Totally dependent on your lifestyle and needs! I live on a dirt road so the best stroller for me has been a BOB. Given my choice in a stroller with insane suspension - an infant car seat with an adapter was necessary. I had purchased a used Chicco Keyfit 35 from a friend who was one and done because it doesnt expire until 2030 and came with two cardiac seat bases for each of our vehicles!

I second your point about it depends where you live and what lifestyle you're living. Bob stroller with infant car seat attachment is the route we're going and it will be the main and only stroller. I live in a rural area on a dirt road , so any daily walks I take, I can't use a stroller with less suspension. Going to grandparents camper? Same deal. Going to the racetrack to watch daddy race? Same deal. We don't have small cars, so trunk space is no bother, but heck, my friend has a Bob and drives a Ford focus, and it fits her trunk fine! Tested hers out at an apple orchard and was amazed by the smooth ride - it sold me. Lol

Commenting to agree. I’ve lived in Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana and then back to Ontario - it’s been through snow, sand, country lift, etc and it’s still in almost perfect condition.

BOB all terrain with car seat adaptor ! The best stroller I’ve ever owned.

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.

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 a double bob and a wagon. Sold the double bob when my kids were about 1.5 and 3 and I still regret it. The wagon is ok but the thing the double stroller is absolutely key for is napping on the go. My kids would probably still nap in a stroller if we had it. If you plan to do stuff out in the world during naps I highly recommend a double stroller.

Double Bob Revolution. Got it for $100 off Nextdoor. I mostly got it so I could run with the kids but we use it extensively for walking around the neighborhood to parks and preschool. We don't often take it out of the neighborhood. We have the rain cover for it which works somewhat better than the Thule one in my opinion. The cargo pockets(and added handlebar organizer) end up getting used more than I realized.  Downsides are it kinda sucks taking into any small local businesses due to the width(not to mention the reach of little hands). It does just barely fit in the back of our car with the third row up. The pneumatic tires can also get a flat though the Bob doesn't seem as bad as the single Thule we also have for whatever reason. After a flat in the last mile or so of a 10k run last year I put some tire liners in to protect the tube and haven't gotten a flat since then. The wheel brake bar annoys me a bit because the foot grips line up with the seats and pockets so it can be a bit tight to squeeze my foot in. The lack of a handbrake makes some steep hills a little sketchy mostly while running. The front wheel mechanism doesn't track as well when locked for running or hold adjustment well, especially on a gravel road.  All in all, I'm really happy with it and would buy it again. I haven't seen anything that seemed like enough of an upgrade to spend any money on. 

Are the tires properly inflated? My single Thule and my double BOB both are significantly harder to push when the tires are even a little deflated. Any particular reason the stroller was listing? Road/path slant? Grip orientation? Thule has a nice adjuster for the front wheel on slanted roads and paths that I take advantage of in my sidewalk-less area.

Due with #4 in the winter- - Lots of burp rags to have in each room - a bouncer for each important room- your room, kitchen, living room. Doesn’t have to be pricey - good rocking chair - owlet smart sock!!!!! - boba wrap carrier - baby born carrier - tushbaby - bob stroller (if you walk/exercise- im a runner push my kids running in the double bob usually 10-15 miles per week going on 6 years, its held up beautifully!) We made the mistake of buying expensive things too many times and realizing we could’ve been just fine with an offbrand… and a lot of the things you only use for a few months, I would recommend not breaking the bank on things that only get used for a short period of time.
