WARNINGS  
.
Never leave children unattended in the stroller.  
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS:  
.
Failure to properly assemble or install the quick release wheels on  
this stroller may result in the wheels becoming detached while moving  
and a subsequent loss of control of the stroller.  
Always use seat harness to avoid serious injury to child from sliding  
or falling out of stroller.  
Reference Fig. 1 as it describes the various  
parts of the Duallie stroller.  
.
1. UNPACK: Remove stroller,  
stroller wheels, front fender and  
front quick release from  
packaging. Plastic packaging  
material was used to protect the  
front fork dropouts, the front  
wheel axles and the shock slider  
brackets. Remove these plastic  
pieces.  
.
.
Never allow occupants to stand in stroller.  
The parking brake is not designed as a stopping brake. The brake  
should not be used to slow or stop the stroller. 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 attach parcels or bags to the handle or frame of stroller except  
those recommended by BOB, as stroller can become unstable and  
tip over.  
The maximum load of the Duallie stroller is 100 lbs (45 kg). Do not  
exceed maximum load (occupant plus luggage weight) as stroller  
will become unstable.  
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 the child’s hands and feet are  
away from wheels.  
Follow instructions and use care when folding and unfolding stroller  
to prevent finger entrapment (see section 14).  
The Duallie stroller is not equipped for use after dark. If you intend  
to use at night, we recommend installing a lighting system available  
through your local bike shop.  
We do not recommend wearing roller skates or inline skates while  
pushing stroller.

MAINTENANCE AFTER SHIPPING.  
AGE RECOMMENDATIONS: - It is recommended that your  
child be a minimum of 6 to 8 weeks old before riding directly in the  
stroller seat. 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.

loosen the quick  
release adjusting  
nut (Fig. 4) by hand.  
Re-insert the axle fully into the rear dropout until the axle shoulder or  
snap ring on the axle comes in contact with the dropout (Fig. 5). Move  
the quick release lever to the closed position (Fig. 6). The word  
CLOSE should be clearly visible and the quick release lever should  
almost touch dropout.  
Children develop at different rates. Consult with your pediatrician  
regarding the suitability of the stroller use with your child.

seat compartments are divided by  
a section of nylon webbing that  
runs the length of the stroller. From  
time to time it may be necessary  
to increase the tension of the  
webbing. To adjust the tension  
start with handlebar in the fully  
open position as shown in Fig 3.  
At the top center of the seat the  
webbing loops over the handlebar  
cross tube and connects to a  
ladderlock buckle. Under the  
ladderlock buckle there is a

11. SEAT SAFETY HARNESS:  
Set parking brake before placing  
child in stroller. To secure your  
child in the seat, put one shoulder  
strap over each shoulder and snap  
the male buckle into the female  
receiver on the crotch strap (Fig.  
18). Adjust shoulder straps to be  
snug and secure (Fig. 19).  
Connect and adjust the sternum  
strap (red), see Fig. 20.  
WARNING: Never place  
passengers in the stroller without  
securing them in the harness.  
Unrestrained passengers can  
affect the control of the stroller.  
Passenger weight limit - 50 lbs (22.5 kg) per seat.  
Passenger height limit - 44 in. (112 cm)  
squeeze the brake lever and the button will “pop” up. For the parking  
brake to work correctly, it is critical that the brake be adjusted properly.  
Squeeze the brake lever and verify that the brake pads contact the  
rim as shown in Fig. 16. If they are misaligned, use a 10mm wrench  
to loosen brake pad nuts, slide pads into correct position and tighten  
securely. The cable tension is pre-adjusted at the factory yet the brake  
cable will need periodic adjustment (as the cable stretches slightly  
and the black cable housing compresses over time). To adjust cable  
tension, there are two barrel adjusters in the brake assembly (Fig. 10  
&13). To tighten the cable, loosen the lock ring and turn the barrel  
adjuster in the counter clockwise direction. Secure the barrel adjuster  
in the new position by tightening the lock ring against the caliper or  
brake lever body. There should be a 3/16”(5mm) clearance between  
the rim and brake pads as shown in Fig. 15. If gap is not equal on  
each brake pad, you can reposition the brake on the frame by  
loosening the 10 mm nut (Fig. 16) with a 10mm wrench, adjust to the  
gap shown in Fig. 15 and retighten the same nut. If you do not  
understand these instructions, or feel the brake is adjusted incorrectly,  
take the stroller to your dealer for proper adjustment. If your brake  
pads (Fig. 10) are worn, see your dealer for replacements.

The suspension system  
features two shock positions to

positions are shown in Fig. 2. Position 1 is intended for total loads  
up to 50 lbs. (22.5 kg), while position 2 is intended for total loads from

to store your stroller

track and spring loaded shock  
pin that automatically locks in  
place when it aligns with either  
of the two shock positions.  
Shock position adjustments  
should be made with the  
stroller unloaded. The shock  
will lock into position 1 when  
unfolding the stroller. To use  
the stiffer shock position, move  
the shock from position 1 to  
CARGO: The Duallie is  
position 2 by depressing the  
equipped with four small  
shock release button (Fig. 2) with  
one hand, and with the other hand, lift slightly and pull the shock  
backward. When the shock pin is properly aligned in position 2, the  
pin will “snap” into place. Repeat this process for  
the second shock. To move the shock from  
position 2 to position 1, reverse the above  
process for both shocks.  
pockets for the kids, a seatback  
pocket behind each seat 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 (1 kg.). 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. Maximum load for Low Boy is 10 lbs (5.5 kg).

children from stroller.

allows the customer to fine tune the tracking of their stroller. This  
document is designed to supplement to the Owner’s Manual. Proceed  
with initial setup and use of your stroller and only refer to this  
document if you believe there is a tracking problem with your  
stroller.  
b. Perform roll test again.  
If the stroller still  
consistently pulls to the left  
or right when pushed  
straight, proceed to next  
step.  
All fixed three wheeled vehicles can be easily influenced to deviate  
from a straight path. In some cases strollers can have or develop a  
tendency to pull to the right/left due to many different factors including  
tire pressure, wheel installation, road conditions and manufacturing  
tolerances. If you find your BOB stroller to significantly track or pull  
to the left or right during use on flat terrain, follow the sequence of  
instructions below.  
7) Fine tune tracking of  
stroller is accomplished by  
using the adjustment knobs  
shown in Fig. 4.

The fine-tuning of desired tracking should be performed in the following  
sequence.  
1) Confirm the rear wheels are installed correctly. Refer to step 4 of  
the Owner’s Manual for installation instructions.  
Wheel Reoriented  
2) Confirm the front wheel is installed correctly. Refer to step 6 of the
