 "There is no perfect double, but this is a good one!" 2010-03-19
By PghYinzer (Pittsburgh, PA United States)
With my twins, I have learned there is no perfect double. With my son, except for a brief stint trying to get in to jogging where I borrowed a friend's jogging stroller, I really got by with one stroller - the Graco Quattro. I will tell anyone, hands down, when you weigh the price to the versatility, that is the best stroller you can buy. I walked many, many, many miles with that thing, and lost lots of blubber in the process. Tons of storage, very sturdy, easy to throw to the ground and stash in the trunk. Loved it. That stroller is still going strong with my girls, because for the most part, I prefer to wear one on my back and push a single stroller.



But sometimes, it's nice to have a double. Sometimes you need to have a double (ie some museums don't let you wear a child on your back!). Unfortunately, different doubles work for different situations. Sometimes you need COMPACT - for that I have a Valco Runabout single with the toddler seat added on. Sometimes you want side-by-side - I haven't gotten one yet but once my girls are bigger might go for a BIG one, for walking for exercise. Sometimes you want full recline in both seats + lots of storage - for that I had an Inglesina Domino which I LOVED when the girls were smaller. And sometimes a reasonably priced tandem with tons of storage will suit your needs nicely.



Funny thing is there seems to be a status symbol to having a double stroller nowadays. People buy them, even when their kids are pretty far apart, and then sell them because the older kid won't ride any more. So you need to ask yourself, do you really NEED a double? For me, my son never rode in a stroller past 3 1/2 - so personally, I would say if your kids are going to be more than 2 1/2 - 3 years apart, don't get a double. Wear your baby in your front and use the single until your older child won't ride any more.



And if you DO need one, take advantage of all the people who bought them for their newborn and their three year old, and are selling them in great condition for CHEAP. That's what I did. Now here is what I like and don't like about this stroller.



Pros:



Both kids are reasonably comfortable and have some means of stashing snacks and sippy cups.



Storage basket is HUGE!



Stroller is STURDY. Compare it to the Duoglider and you can feel it is rock solid, no sway at all when you turn.



Steers well - for a double. I can steer with one hand, even, if one girl wants to walk and hold my hand.



Easy to throw to the ground and throw in your van. I don't know if it would fit in a car trunk, but I do know I don't find it heavy or hard to lift as some complain. It fits in the very back behind the 3rd row of my Toyota Sienna. Works for me. Now maybe I should say that I do remember trying to lift the single Quattro when my son was a baby seemed difficult at first, but 6 years of slinging kids and strollers around, and a little weight work besides (I'm talking 5 pound dumb bells, nothing major) have toughened me up.



Both kids get a sun shade.



Front seat back is higher than in the Duoglider, which is better for a growing child.



AFFORDABLE - especially if you find one used.



Resells very well - I have been trying to get a used one for a while and learned they go FAST.



You can put two baby buckets in it - but DON'T. It's pointless to haul this thing around just to put the buckets in - get a double snap n' go.



Cons:



Doesn't have the awesome parent console that the single has - which is in some ways a blessing as it means I can't accumulate as much stuff up there (and I am bad about accumulating stuff in my single!)



Does not work for newborn twins w/o buckets as the front seat does not recline enough - and I really don't like to have to use the buckets. It also means it's a little tougher to nap for the kid in front, but kids seem to nap in weird positions all the time.



Front seat back is higher than the Duoglider, which means the child in back can't see as well - I keep the sunshade off and in the basket to help with this some, but it's still not great. I have to put my littler one in the back because her sister attacks her if she is in front so it's really tough. Still, most tandems have a lousy view from the back. You just learn to park sideways if you want to stop and look at something. I think the rear seat is SLIGHTLY elevated, but not enough. Wish it was more so.



Front seat does not have a tray - I prefer a tray to those two cup things. You can use the bar instead, and give your child a snack trap - but I wish there was a tray.



Child in back can't climb in and out on own easily, if at all (mine haven't tried yet - it's not a huge deal, it's just an independance thing)



Seats can't be reconfigured, as with some other strollers - a nice option but not something you can't live without



All in all, when you look at the bang for your buck, it's a great stroller. Is it the perfect double? No - but such a beast does not exist, in my opinion. There's something wrong with all of them. For me, above all, the ease of throwing this thing to the ground and throwing it in my car makes up for any other shortcomings.

 "Awful, you need to swing one baby sideways to fit in bucket seat" 2010-03-19
By C. Driscoll (Boston, MA)
This stroller is very difficult to manuever two bucket seats into - you need to swing one baby sideways and forward to get the bucket seat to fit into it and then you need to strap both seats down. It takes way to long to get kids into stroller, especially if you have older children. We returned it and got the 'Snap and Go' which is MUCH easier and light!

 "Great double stroller" 2010-03-15
By T. Kurszewski (WI)
Just purchased this stroller after much research and searching. I am using it for our almost 3 year old and 8 month old. We all love it! The youngest can be rather fussy at times (gastric reflux), but she traveled great in this for over 4 hours in a mall. I like the multiple positions of the rear seat, makes naptime very comfortable. The oldest likes to be able to get in and out by himself, the cupholders for juice and snacks, and the cubby below for his must have travel companians. We get compliments every time we take it out and I highly reccommend this stroller. Of course it is heavier and larger than a single stroller, it's made for two, but it handles nicely and is not much larger than our single stroller when collapsed. Overall, a great storller for two!

 "The "Whale"" 2010-03-15
By G. Pace (McKinney, TX)
My mother bought this as a gift for us since we are expecting our second. I was thrilled and viewed it as the "deluxe" stroller system. Well it arrived today, and now I feel bad that my mom spent $250 on it! I think the makers definately we not thinking of mothers being on their own while using this. It is soo heavy! Besides barely being able to pick it up, the wheel automatically lock when you fold it which provides no relieve in trying to put it in the trunk. Best part is, I really don't know what to do now because it won't even fit in our trunk!! We have a very large and spacious trunk in our car, so I do not know why the makers of this stroller did not even consider trunk issues (because regardless of if I have a spacious trunk) it is only fair to other parents that this stroller be capable of fitting a standard size trunk. This is definately NOT MOMMY OR CAR FRIENDLY!!

 "Great Double Stroller" 2010-03-13
By F. Yasin (Irvine, CA)
I was a little hesitant to purchase this stroller after reading several reviews saying that it was super bulky, difficult to manuever and very heavy. But I am so glad I purchased it! It is a great double stroller for two young children. My toddler loves the fact that he can get in and out of the front seat on his own and the fact that there is nothing in front of him makes him feel less contained. The rear seat full recline allows me to take my sleeping newborn and place him without his carseat. I know some moms really love keeping their newborn in the carseat but I just don't think it looks comfy.



Yes the stroller is bulky, but what do you expect when you need something strong enough to carry two of your babies safely.
