BOB Revolution Duallie SE

As a mother of two, your life has some complicated mathematics: two kids + one post-natal body that needs exercise + ten million things you need to carry when you're out with children + a laundry pile that gets a foot taller every five minutes + only two hands. At the end of the day, it all has to add up. Fortunately, our friends at BOB are always working on solutions for moms and dads, and while the new BOB Revolution Duallie SE Stroller won't add more hours to the day, it subtracts a lot of the problems you can encounter when you travel with small children.

The new Duallie doesn't veer far from the BOB Revolution Duallie 2010 model, a dependable workhorse ("BOB" does stand for "beast of burden," after all) that converts effortlessly from a superior double jogging stroller to an everyday stroller that turns on a dime. BOB strollers are famous for being suitable for every environment: they can handle rocky trails without jostling a sleeping tot awake, or wiggle into a narrow grocery line without nudging the impulse-item displays.

When you feel like a run, just lock the stroller's 12" front wheel in place, load the kids in, stretch those tendons, and go – the adjustable suspension, shock absorbers, and generous 16" air-filled bicycle-style rear tires ensure that your kids won't feel a single crack in the sidewalk. The 5-point harness has been updated for 2011 – it's now even easier to adjust for a perfect fit – and the seat padding is now even more luxurious, providing a safe and comfortable ride. A BOB-exclusive tracking adjustment knob keeps the front wheel perfectly straight to keep the stroller from drifting sideways as you jog.

When you need to nip out to the store for diapers and a gallon of milk, transform the BOB Revolution SE Duallie into a nimble walking stroller by unlocking the front wheel. BOB strollers handle elevators, subways, and other tight spots with the greatest of ease, and since the Duallie is only 30" wide, it fits through standard doorways with no problem. A simple, compact two-step fold makes it easy to tuck the Revolution SE Duallie into your car trunk when you're done shopping, and into your closet when you get home.

As a special treat for you and your hungry brood, it's now easier than ever to install the Snack Tray and Infant Car Seat Adapter (each sold separately), thanks to a new Accessory Adapter that works with both. It's also even easier to protect the kids from sun, rain, and snow: the huge separate canopies still have 125 degrees of coverage, but they have been remodeled for appearance and function. A viewing window lets you check on the children without exposing them to the elements.

With all the engineering that goes into performance, the team at BOB hasn't forgotten that you want your stroller to look good, too: the BOB Revolution SE Duallie 2011 Stroller is available in sporty orange, navy, and black, and parents report that they get daily compliments on their snazzy BOB strollers.

In total: two kids + two hands + a BOB Revolution SE Duallie = a solution you can count on.
