Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Having used a pre-2016 BOB FLEX single stroller for our first child, I knew that I would be buying a BOB FLEX Duallie with the arrival of our second. My decision was whether is was worth the extra money to buy the 2016 model. I went with the 2016 and I'm glad I did because (almost) all of my grievances with my BOB single were fixed or improved in the 2016 Duallie. 1. The recline function on my older BOB is made up of two adjustable straps and annoying to use, and the child can't sit completely upright - the 2016 Duallie is an easy button push AND allows for the child to sit almost completely upright 2. The canopy bunches up when closed on the older BOBs and the plastic window gets in the way of the child's headspace - somehow they changed the canopy on the 2016 Duallie and the canopy doesn't bunch up as much. It still has 4 positions- closed, fully extended (which provides complete shade for the child) half open with a peek-a-boo window, and half open without the window. 3. The storage space is lacking in older models - they lowered the storage basket on the 2016 and it's plenty large for 2 kids and can be accessed from the side 4. The brake foot pedal is improved on the 2016 so that it can be pushed both off and on using the bottom of your foot (in other words, it's flip flop friendly!) 5. The rear wheels are easier to pop on and off in the 2016 For me, the recline function was enough to make the 2016 worth the extra money just because it was previously so annoying to me and my toddler has recently started insisting on sitting completely upright to see everything. If you've not used a BOB before, I'll just reiterate that it runs super smooth and turns on a dime. Even with a double, it's so balanced that I can run with just one child and steer with one hand without any pull. The down side to the stroller is just it's size and weight; the thing is really a beast and takes up the whole back storage of our Town & Country. However, our use case for a double stroller is mostly for the outdoors, so the smooth ride is the most important concern for us. I think that despite the big wheels, even out shopping the stroller will be a pleasure to use because it can turn easily around aisles. Yes, it's no fun getting it in and out of the car, but that's a few seconds of annoyance for a double stroller that I can push one-handed and be used on all terrain.
