the stroller until the shocks  
engage in the first position as  
shown in Fig. 2. The shocks’  
locking pins will “snap” and lock

WARNINGS  
Before using this BOB stroller read and understand this manual in its  
entirety for assembly, use, and safety instructions. If you are unclear  
on any point, contact your dealer or BOB before use.  
Never leave children unattended in the stroller.  
Failure to properly assemble or install the quick release hubs on  
this stroller may result in the wheels becoming detached while  
moving and a subsequent loss of control of the stroller.  
Always use seat harnesses to avoid serious injury to children from  
sliding or falling out of stroller.  
Always use wrist safety strap.  
Never allow occupants to stand in stroller.  
The parking brake is not designed as a stopping brake. We do  
not recommend using the brake to stop the stroller when it is  
moving. The brake is intended to park the stroller on flat surfaces  
not on inclines. Never leave your children in the stroller unattended  
with or without the parking brake set!  
Do not strap parcels or bags to the handle as it affects the balance  
and stability of the stroller and can cause it to tip over backwards.  
The maximum carrying capacity load of the stroller is 100 pounds.  
Do not place sharp objects in the seatback pocket as your child  
leans against this and can be injured as a result.  
When starting out, always make sure that your kid’s hands and  
feet are away from wheel spokes.  
The Duallie is not equipped for use after dark. If you intend to  
use it at night, we recommend installing wheel reflectors and a  
lighting system available through your local bike shop.  
We do not recommend wearing roller skates or inline skates while  
pushing stroller.

HANDLE: Rotate the stroller

To open the sun canopy, hold one

always properly secured, as it is  
part of the child’s seat restraint  
system.  
AGE RECOMMENDATIONS - It is recommended that your  
child be a minimum of 6 to 8 weeks old before riding in the stroller.  
Young babies incapable of holding their head up must be provided  
additional head and neck support to ride safely. For jogging and off  
road use, children should be at least 6 to 8 months old.  
Children develop at different rates. Consult with your pediatrician  
regarding the suitability of the stroller use with your child.

kg), while position 2 is intended  
for occupants from 50 to 100  
lbs. (22.5 to 45 kg) total. The  
Duallie features a sliding track and  
spring loaded shock axle that  
automatically locks in place when  
it aligns with either of the two shock  
settings. Shock position adjustments  
should be made with the stroller  
unloaded. The Duallie will lock into

REAR WHEEL: Fig. 16 shows the anatomy of the rear wheel quick  
release in its open position. Install the wheel by sliding the axle into  
the hole in the rear dropout (Fig. 16) until the washer on the axle  
comes in contact with the dropout (Fig. 17). If the axle does not slide  
all the way into the snap ring, it is necessary to loosen the quick  
release. Do this by placing the quick release in the fully open position,  
Fig. 16, and loosening the adjust nut on the quick release. Re-install  
the wheel. The

STORAGE: It is best to store your  
stroller indoors when it is not in  
use. This will prolong its attractive  
appearance. The sun's ultraviolet

parts.

CARGO: The Duallie is equipped  
with four small pockets for the kids,  
a seatback pocket and a Low Boy  
cargo pouch under the stroller.  
Adding weight to the seatback  
changes the center of gravity of  
the stroller, and increases the  
possibility that it will tip over backwards. For this reason, loads in the  
seatback pocket should never exceed two pounds. Although the  
seatback is padded, it is important to remember that this is what your  
child leans against. Never place sharp or injurious objects into the  
seatback pocket.
