Terrific stroller for the money...

by B. Caren 2008-04-02

I am so excited about this stroller. This is my first review and as the mother of twin 16 week old daughters I am pressed for time. But my initial review of this stroller is excitement! I received a couple used strollers that were not compatible with little babies. So I went on the hunt for something better. I have the Graco Snugride car seats and was excited to find an affordable stroller that would take the seats (I found frames for the seats for about 10 dollars less than I paid for this stroller). I AM FREE! It is difficult to go anywhere alone with them. I live in a beautiful college campus neighborhood and it is spring. Now I can walk, and shop alone. The car seats fit perfectly. I read the review that said the car seat sticks in the rear seat, and it does. But you can reach underneath the car seat easily and press the hook back manually and it will pop loose. The cup holder is not deep enough, but I tossed my water in the basket underneath against my big ole diaper bag and I could reach right in for it. It is super manageable for me by myself, but I am not a small woman. It folds up very easily also. I agree with the review I read that it probably would not fit in a car trunk, unless it's a big car! But I have a mini van so I went for it and it is perfect. I gave it four stars because I have pushed much nicer strollers that felt more solid, but they are hundreds of dollars instead of a hundred dollars. And twins on our one income, we are pinching the pennies. So for the money, I feel this stroller is spot on. We haven't had it long, but for what I need it for, it'll be just fine! If you read this, thanks for your time! Hope it helps! Cheers!

Great stroller- great price!

by A. Berger 2008-01-12

This is at least the 3rd Graco double stroller I've purchased over the years (we have, B"H, 5 children). This stroller is a great value & it functions well. We are very satisfied with this purchase.

Still going after a year of abuse...

by J. Crawford 2007-06-12

I was *hoping* that this would be like my single MetroLite stroller - turning on a dime, easy to fold, 5-pt harness - but so much for that. However, for a double, this does the trick. I have a 2.5 year-old and a 7-month-old, 30 pounds and 22.5 pounds, respectively. The 7-month-old still rides in the car seat since the stroller lacks the 5-pt harness. I bought two of those extra sunshades from BRU that retro-fit onto the stroller. The basket is incredibly roomy and it also has a tray up top that closes tight (I keep money in there for the ice cream truck). It also has a cup holder, but everytime you hit a curb, it comes flying out. It does not fold well for travel either. I am contemplating getting another stroller for our trip to Disney b/c trying to check this at the gate will be a nightmare!

Not bad for a double

by R. Russell 2007-02-02

This is our second tandem double stroller we have purchased. We like just about everything on the stroller. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I would prefer if it had a side step for the back seat and the closing handle is a little weird to get used to. Other then that, it's a nice stroller. We have a 5 yr old, a 2 yr old, and another one on the way, so a double stroller is a necessity for us. Not a bad purchase for the money.

Frustrating to use with infant carriers

by K. LeCocq 2007-01-24

I purchased this stroller for my newborn twins. I like that it has a cup holder, but make sure when you use it that you are on a very smooth surface or have a spill free lid. It does have a convenient storage space for parents. It is smooth to push and turns well for such a big stroller. My biggest complaint is when using the infant carriers. They snap in easily, but the rear carrier always sticks when trying to remove it. I have struggled with the handle being completely stuck and almost lifting the stroller right off the ground (with two babies in it) while wiggling and shaking trying to dislodge the stuck clip. This is particularily frustrating being that when using the infant carriers the seat backs must be reclined, making it impossible to access the basket (which is quite big and very convenient when you can access it). So everytime I need to access my diaper bag I need to remove that sticky rear carrier. I have run into another mother of twins who complained of the very same issues (or I would have thought perhaps my duoglider just had a defect). I do feel however, that once my twins outgrow the carriers I will find this stroller more convenient and easier to use. It is very big and heavy though, and I have not found a car trunk it will fit in yet. Overall, I would not recommend this stroller to someone who needs to put both infant carriers in at a time or for a person who does not own a truck or minivan.
