Hey guys, it’s Kelly The_Car_Mom in today. I am very excited to bring you a very special tour. Um, it only has three wheels instead of four, and it is my brand new Double Bob Stroller. So this video is in no way sponsored. In fact, I didn’t even email me back at Bob Strollers.
So I did a lot of research about which double stroller I wanted to go to. The first question I had to ask myself was side by side or front and back. So I actually have a Vista stroller. So I knew I had the option to convert that to a forwarder back if I wanted to, but I still felt like I was going to need the side-by-side because it’s a lot better for jogging walking and just some rougher terrain. I definitely think the benefit to a front and back is it’s easier to fit through a doorway if you’re going to different stores.

But honestly, taking both my kids to any store sounds miserable
So I will be avoiding it at all costs. The other thing, when I was kind of testing the different stores out, I felt like the front and back, I felt like it made the child in the front so much further away from me that like, I couldn’t even age what was going on. So I just didn’t feel as comfortable with it. It wasn’t for me. So I knew I wanted to do them side by side.
It came down to really two main ones I was looking at, and that was the City Mini and The Double Bob.
I ultimately went with the Double Bob because I liked how big the tires were. And I felt like it was more of like an offroading stroller. The way that I’m going to use the stroller is honestly offroading. We go to the farm a lot. We go to country fairs a lot, and I needed something that I thought could handle gravel roads. I also wanted something that was going to be compact and could hold my kids for a very long time. And I think those are kinda my main selling points.
So today I’m going to do a full review of this Double Bob Stroller
All right. So, so much to break down, love the body lines real like catching your eye on the sidewalk. No, in all seriousness, it’s a double stroller. I want the black on black, honestly, not my first choice color. There was a glacier blue color that I wanted so bad, but it was sold out everywhere. If anyone on here has a glacier blue and wants, to try for a black one comment below because it’s carbon blue. And I really wanted that one, but we want the black, we kept it simple.
So the first thing I wanted to talk about was the tire. So these tires space to be filled with air. And I really liked that because I felt that it would be easier for me to like, um, maintain. I don’t know, that was a selling point to me. I like that the tires were big and they filled with, they’re kind of like a bike tire.
Also, guys, we’ll do a little, uh, drive test. This thing has a built-in suspension, better than some cars I’ve seen. So I’m liking that. Okay.
So let’s start with my passenger comfort because that is one of the most important things.
So when you look at the seats of the Double Bob, there is some actually really comfortable padding. The straps can be adjusted in all sorts of different ways. So you can adjust the height that they come out, kinda like you could on a car seat, which I think is really nice. And then they also have their own little side cubbies right here, which is like, I really like that to hold like some emergency toys. Like in the meantime, like I could put George’s water cup there, um, until like I get the snack tray. So I really liked that.
So just to show you guys how exactly you would buckle it in.
So one, this crotch buckle is completely adjustable as well. These straps and these straps appear too. So there are a lot of different ways to do it. It’s very easy to buckle in. We’ve got the beautiful Bob logo right there, which is like them, I guess, jogging on a mountain. So that’s kind of an idea of how this, the buckling happens, but then there’s a couple of other adjustments that you can make as well on the back of the stroller.
So back here, you can actually recline this stroller, like all the way back, for an optimal napping position. And then you can also raise it up just by doing that. So I really like that. And I even like when I was taking George on a walk the other day, I noticed he was getting sleepy slow.
I slowly started to lower it because I went all the way back. He would’ve been upset, but just that slight little recline, I really liked, you can also be up to 70 pounds in these feet. So that’s pretty, that’s a lot. And then just, you know, pockets galore people like here’s two pockets. I like that. They’re separated too. So you could fit like things for these kids, a zipper pocket, um, a good place for a phone. Maybe this is the perfect size to fit an iPhone, which is really nice. I really like that. So you can also roll this little part up and then you could attach it.
So there’s like so much flexibility
I think that’s just really helpful. Let’s talk about this cubby down here, because this part is not my fame. I’m gonna be, be honest with you. Okay. So this is my current diaper bag. It’s an a-la co-diaper bag. Um, I will leave a link in the description box below, but like, it’s an, I mean, right. Like it’s not huge. I know it could fit here, but I’m having a really hard time getting it because of this strap. So I understand why this strap is here, but like, it’s, it’s difficult for me to put my diaper bag in here, tried to come from over here and like shove it in and like, I’m gonna say, well, I, I, I could get it. I mean, I can get it in there. There we go. There we go. And then I would like to put it like this.
So then I could like access things. But to me, that was just a little more difficult. I kind of wish this could snap off easily, but it screwed in. So I wasn’t able to like snap that off. So that’s one thing I’m just not obsessed with. I like the size of this basket. I like a lot of things about this basket. I just wish it was easier to get really large items in and out of there.
Okay. So some other things about these like sunshades, sun canopy, first of all, it’s up F 50+ don’t totally know what that means because isn’t it UV protect. I’m not really sure. U PF 50+, we love to hear it. I like that this part exists. This is magnetic.
So I could lift this up and actually see into the kids to like, see if they’re napping without totally like parking the stroll and turning around. So I think that’s a really great feature. And then also you can pull this sunshine down So far to where like, they’re, they’re completely shaded underneath there. So I definitely like all those different, I mean, look how far those come down, but I like it because like they still get a lot of sunshine on their legs, especially like to kind like keep ’em a little bit more or warmed up, but they wouldn’t have any sun on their eyes and you can really just like bend these every which way.
So like, however, you needed to keep the sun off their eyes. So I think that’s a pretty cool feature. I really like the shades on here. That was one of the main selling points for me.
We have some nice Bob badging in a nice little silver color, one aftermarket access three, I did go ahead and purchase these cup holders because your girl needs a cup holder. Obviously, I’m starting with two with love four because I’m dramatic like that. Um, this is just a standard water bottle. So this one fits great in here. This one I knew was a stretch. This is like a giant Mason jar wide mouth. I mean, let me be clear. I would walk like this, but I wouldn’t say I would jog with this. Um, cuz it doesn’t quite fit, but this is one of the biggest cup holders I can find, but it will fit a coffee check-in afternoon stroll. Like it would it’ll fit the things that we need. So I really like these.
They’re really easy to screw on and off as well. So I’ll link in the description below to purchase this cuz I’m a huge fan. Now one of my other favorite features about this stroller is this bar mostly gonna take my drinks out for this tutorial.
I’m really tall. I’m about six feet tall. My UppaBaby Vista Stroller. I felt like the bar came up high enough, but I always would’ve come up higher. What I love about this stroller isn’t mean I could walk like this. I could be like just marching around like this or I could go down here and have it more like chest height or I could like, I mean literally just walk around like this.
I love it. I love how adjustable this bar is. Especially for tall people like myself and then super easy to adjust. So I’m really enjoying that.
Let’s talk a little bit about like just how smooth the stroller is
Let’s find some terrain really is nice. Look it at me. Just trekking through grass, tall grass on a diagonal. Let me pop up here. This is not recommended. I mean guys, the thing it drives itself, let’s check out this turning radius. I mean on a dime, seeing the diamond one is really exciting stuff. Very maneuverable. Let me give you a little jogging demonstration. I’m not a runner.
Oh yeah. Really nice. You put her in the park kind of fun. It’s a little foot pedal right here and then she’s in the park. So it’s actually a pretty intense break. I feel pretty good about the emergency brake. Okay.
Let’s talk a little bit about folding her up. So it’s a two-step process, but it’s honestly pretty easy. Now I’m gonna put these up. We’re gonna do is take these handles and this folds it forward. Perfect. Then I come over here and take this little grab. It’s honestly kind of a dramatic it’s a little dramatic and then I have it secured.
There are a couple of different ways that you can clip it just so you can ensure that it doesn’t unlock on you. So I would just clip that together. So here is what it looks like completely folded. Now you can pop off the wheels. Um, if you had to compact it even more, but honestly this is pretty compact for a double stroller, putting it up is also very easy. You just unbuckle that part.
That is going to wrap up my Double Bob Stroller torn. I’ve only used this a handful of times, so I will definitely be talking more about it, and how I’m using it on my Instagram. So definitely make sure you head there. But my first impressions are I’m happy. I went with it. I really like it. I think the weight distribution on it is awesome. I have no problem pushing both my kids up a steep hill. I, if I had a front-to-back, it would be a little bit harder. I’m still probably going to turn step into a front and back just so I have both options, but I really like it.
