Does anybody here have one?

I'm specifically interested in the duallie and curious to know if anybody uses it for other than running. I'm looking for a jogging stroller, but I'd also like to be able to use it for other purposes. We currently have a Sit & Stand, but I hate the fact that it doesn't offer retractable hoods and the like.

I don't have the duallie but I do have a Bob revolution. It was the best investment we ever made. It was so much more lightweight than the regular strollers it was like pushing air. My three year old still uses it occasionally and while he weighs a ton more now it is still easy to push. Never used as a "jogger" just a regular stroller.

Love the fact that they collapse so easy and has a great big sunshade.

Worth every penny.

One thing to know though. The tires are bike tires and can pop. So watch what you are rolling over. First month I had mine took it to a football game and rolled through grass with thorns. Popped all three tires. Any area bike shop should be able to replace the tubes for you.

Thank you for your input!!!!! I'm pretty much sold on it b/c I only hear great things like you posted. Although I never gave the tires any thought Thanks for pointing that out!

My biggest concern with the duallie is whether it's functional for going places like the mall and such and will I have trouble getting through doors and store aisles. I have other strollers that I could use, but the duallie would be more practical for me with a 2 yr old and an infant. The Sit & Stand just isn't ideal for inclement weather.

I see the Bob Revolution everywhere these days. Both single and double. They seem to have a pretty small footprint, and manuever well. Per your concern, the easiest way to figure that out is measure it across, and compare that to typical doorways or aisles you have to go through. Can you find one in a store to try? I always try out a stroller before buying.
