I searched high and low for a double stroller that wouldn’t break the bank and I have been very happy with my purchase. I have a two-year-old son and a five-month-old daughter and both kids like facing forward. I also like the side-by-side style. I couldn’t see myself pushing a “stretch limo” as I’ve heard it called. It’s easy to maneuver, I can fit down most aisles, and it fits in the trunk of my compact car with a full load of groceries. Drawbacks: the canopy could be a bit higher, (my son thinks it’s a game when I pull it forward and immediately pushes it back), the seat covers are velcroed in place and tend to slip when I put the kids in, and I need to fold it before it will fit through the front door of the house. I’ve also taken it on two cross-country plane trips with layovers. Baggage handlers in general aren’t very gentle and the front bars come off fairly easily when the stroller is folded. One now has a small rip in it, but I’m lucky it didn’t get lost. Overall, I’ve been happy with it.
I bought this for my newborn and my 2-year old daughter. I didn’t want to spend $300 for the Zooper or Aria, and this looked perfect.
Although there are a lot of things that would have been *nice* additions (individual sun shades, larger sun shades, snack trays, easier to fold as you have to lock all 4 wheels and recline seats first), I didn’t mind these things lacking because the price was so good and I’d probably only use it for a year or so anyway.
There are a lot of percs too (besides price, it’s relatively light, well balanced even when just my 2-year old was in one side, big basket, and stands by itself when folded).
It is quite bumpy though. I took it for a walk around the block. It caught every crack in the sidewalk and it was a bit rough. If you’re just going to the store though, no problem.
But the fact that it does not have a 5-pt harness (it is 3-point) and that it is not compatible with any car seat (it says right on page 2 of manual “NEVER USE AN INFANT CARRIER/CARSEAT WITH THIS STROLLER) makes it unuseable for an infant. If I can’t put a car seat in or have a newborn held in with the harness – he’d flop all over. So unfortunately, I’m back to square one. Otherwise, this is a great stroller. If your kids can sit up and don’t need a 5-pt harness, and you aren’t going on bumpy terrain, then I wouldn’t hesitate to get it.
I purchased this stroller for a trip to Disney World. So far, I have used it a half dozen times for my 4 year old and my 2 year old. It is easy to set up and break down. There’s lots of room for storage, it’s easy to push and handle. The canopy is great, it covers the kids completely, the seats recline to a comfortable position. What is there not to like! Both of my little ones ask to ride in it! The only thing I would add is a bigger bar at the bottom for the kids feet to rest on. Other than that, it is a wonderful product and well worth the money! Kudos to Graco!
