Combi Twin Sport 2 Side by Side Double Stroller in Ember/Wasabi

0 comments

Yes it is light and easily stored. The wheels are very badly designed. All the front ones broke twice in a year. Once the company replace them. Well it is the great recyclable product we have now. It will last for six months, if you hardly use it. I do not recommend buying it. Problems could be solved if the company enginiers would desing a stronger wheel.Buy Combi Twin Sport 2 Side by Side Double Stroller in Ember/Wasabi!

Jeep Wrangler Twin Sport All-Weather Umbrella Stroller in Fierce

1 comments

I purchased this stroller for a trip to Disney World with my almost 4 year old and almost 1 year old so that we didn't have to travel with our large double jogging stroller. The sun screens didn't screen much, no harness and no snack tray does not work well with a baby, and there was almost no storage. The low price allowed me to purchase an "extra" stroller and it's probably a decent inexpensive double stroller, but I got what I paid for - a bare bones twin stroller that was lousy for a Disney vacation.

Jeep Wrangler Twin Sport All-Weather Umbrella Stroller in Fierce

0 comments

The Jeep Wrangler Twin Sport All-Weather Umbrella Stroller fits our family's needs perfectly. We have two children, a son that is 15 months and a daughter that is 2 months. With the birth of our daughter came the need for a stroller for two. My wife drives a Toyota Matrix. Needless to say, trunk space was limited.
The stroller is durable and compact (when folded). It handles well whether there is one or two adults pushing it and is reasonably comfortable for the children as it reclines. Even though it seats two side by side it is not unreasonably wide. Although you'd have to enter at an angle with regular sized doors it is not cumbersome and can easily be taken for shopping or walks in the park.
It also comes with a cupholder, if that is important to you.
The down side is that since it is a compact stroller you cannot carry anything large on it as it does not have underneath storage. It does have 2 pouches located on either side of the stroller to carry diapers, wipes, bottles, etc...
Overall, the stroller works for us.Buy Jeep Wrangler Twin Sport All-Weather Umbrella Stroller in Fierce!

Red Sports Doubles Kit

I just spent 45 min trying to clip the bottom clip to convert the sport back to a toddler position from newborn position. The straps for the bottom clip just WILL NOT reach. I am pretty strong - I carry around 2 kids all day long & I can't force them to reach to clip.

I have never been so frustrated with a piece of equipment in my life. My 2 yr old is screaming my baby is screaming and I am so irritated that I can't get this to convert I am about to throw the whole stroller out the window. Buy Red Sports Doubles Kit!

Graco Safe Seat Infant Car Seat, Ionic

0 comments

This is a beautiful carseat. I purchased the Graco Safe Seat in the portica line. I absolutely loved the base, the fabric, the sturdiness of the seat, BUT WHERE IS THE SLACK?????
The only reason that I purchased this seat is my son has almost outgrown his Graco Snugride (the snugride is only rated until 22 lbs and 29 in). I wanted a carseat that would still work with my stroller and that I didn't have to take my sleeping son out of everytime we went somewhere. I had read reviews that this seat was heavier than the snugride, but I really expected that. What I didn't expect is that I can barely fit my 20 pound 27 3/4 inch baby into this safeseat that is supposed to fit a child up to 30 pounds and 32 inches!
We followed the instructions for loosening the belt, the belt was only on the center (not even the top) and it is still TOO TIGHT! I can barely get my son in there (and it is summer so he doesn't even have layers of clothing on!). There is no way that we could use this seat with the belt on the top setting!
We switched back to our snugride (which he can still use because he is only 20 pounds and 27 3/4 inches-plenty of slack). I contacted Graco, they did not have a "fix" for this issue. They are going to send me a shipping label and I will return this seat to them for a refund.
Save your money! It is not worth buying this seat. It is heavier than a snugride, more money, and you won't be able to use it any longer than a snugride because of the seatbelt issue (NO SLACK).

Overall: VERY DISAPPOINTED! Seat is being returned to Graco.Buy Graco Safe Seat Infant Car Seat, Ionic!

Graco SnugRide 32 Infant Car Seat in Zurich

0 comments

I ordered this carseat for my baby when I was expecting because it just seemed the smart thing to do with babies coming into this world at 8+ lbs and 19"+ long! Well our little boy came into this world weighing 7.06 lbs and measuring 20" long! Most rear facing carseats only go up to 22 lbs and 22" long, so this was definitely a wise choice. He's only 13 days old and we have used the carseat on 3 occassions and so far so good! It's spacious enough so that he doesn't feel cramped or confined once buckled in. The downfall to that is that his head bobs a bit too much for me because the infant insert is still a little too big. We purchased an additional head support piece (not Graco) to resolve this issue. It works well... He was awake when he was placed in it the second time and he cried a bit but calmed down after he was all tucked in. The other times he was asleep and remained sleeping... The carrier is easy enough to remove from the base which is a huge plus. The colors are rich looking with a baby feel (the green), and can work for either boy or girl (I didn't know what I was having when I ordered it)...The straps are easy enough to adjust once you read the instructions. To date the carrier is not too heavy, but that may change once he puts on some pounds... Overall I love this carseat so far... If that changes I'll add to this later on.Buy Graco SnugRide 32 Infant Car Seat in Zurich!

Baby Trend Double Snap N Go Stroller Frame, Black

This is the best invention ever. It is so light weight, such a snap to open & close, doesn't take up much space in the house or trunk of car, and a cinch to assemble. I highly recommend it.Buy Baby Trend Double Snap N Go Stroller Frame, Black!

It is a very easy to push and maneuver. The only complaint so far is that the joint between the hadlebar and the frame of the stroller is a bit weak and tends to wobble. Other than that a very good stroller for the price. Buy InStep Safari Swivel Double Jogging Stroller (Blue/Chocolate)!

Baby Trend Silverado Sit N' Stand Plus Double Stroller

0 comments

As far as I know this is the only stroller out there that's both a double stroller and a sit-n-stand. As long as it's functional, which it is, that in and of itself makes this a great product. I have an infant and a two year old and the stroller is great for containing my son when I have to take both of them to the store. The sit and stand part is great when we are at a museum or zoo or something for him where he is getting in and out and daddy's there to help make sure he doesn't run away. You really have to decide before you leave the house or car which one you want - sit and stand or double stroller. The transformation process is simple but it's a little more than I expected and you have to take the second seat completely out to use the sit and stand so if you were going from stroller to sit and stand while you were out, you'd have to carry the seat (and potentially the canopy) with you. With the infant carrier in front, the stroller is really really long, but the turning radius is amazing. Buy Baby Trend Silverado Sit N' Stand Plus Double Stroller!

Mountain Buggy Single Carseat Clip - Graco

The product was easy to install and allowed us to go straight from the car to stroller while keeping the mountain buggy frame. We wanted to do this because we had purchased the bibi strolli rider for our older child to ride on while we used the mountain buggy.Buy Mountain Buggy Single Carseat Clip - Graco!

Kolcraft 2009 Contours Options Tandem Stroller - Ruby

0 comments

I bought this in Feb '09, and have used it alot already. I REALLY like it - it's big, but both kids (2y & 9mo) have plenty of leg room, even when facing each other. It is a bit heavy, but I am 7mo pregnant, and I can fold & load it into the back of my Excursion without breaking a sweat. :-) Seats are easily adjusted, and it's not that much of a pain to take it apart to fold it. It steers soooo easily, and make even sharp corners without running into other things. The basket underneath is HUGE, and can handle the largest of diaper bags.

With that said, the cup holder for parents is flimsy - it constantly seems as if it's going to come off (it hasn't yet tho, but I'm scared to use it). I also wish there was a cup holder for the little ones. I've had a hard time getting the hang of placing the seats where they're not in the way of each other. If they are placed back-to-back, the rear seat can't really recline like it's supposed to cause of the first seat being in the way (or maybe I'm not doing something right). I also wish there was a way to fold it with the seats attached, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet. And I think it's a tad overpriced, too.

All in all, I'm glad I bought it. Shipping was really quick from here, as usual. It's a real eye-catcher when we're out-&-about. LOL The kids LOVE riding in it, so it must be comfortable to them, which is the most important thing!Buy Kolcraft 2009 Contours Options Tandem Stroller - Ruby!

Mountain Buggy Urban Double Jogging Stroller - Black Dot

0 comments

We heard good things about this pram and where dissappointed right from the start. Unpacking the pram and assembling it was more difficult than it needed to be. Putting the wheels on was a pain...then pumping them up was frustrating (the included pump is not very good).

We also bought the twin basinettes so we had to take the fabric off the pram so we could use them. This took about 1.5 hours and was VERY difficult. We are considering selling the thing before trying to put the fabric back on. There was a lot of swearing during this process and a couple of cut fingers!

The bassinettes are again good when on. But assembling these was also a PAIN. Then there is no way to clip them in and out of the pram frame while having a baby in it still. In fact, the clipping in and out took me a few hours to master and I still get incredibly frustrated by how hard it is. I also manage to hurt myself most times when I do it.

The bassinettes come with screw in clips (that clip the bassinette to the frame). One of these fell off after I unclipped the basinette...lucky I noticed it lying on the grass.

The bassinette hoods NEVER stay up. I've had to use bulldog clips and elastic to improvise a method that again doesn't drive me nuts.

The bassinette and pram press studs are way too hard to clip closed.

In summary, this is a good pram if you get someone to assemble it for you and you NEVER need to change that assembly. I haven't used it just as a pram yet...but I'm not sure I'm willing to give it a go anymore. Thank god for ebay!Buy Mountain Buggy Urban Double Jogging Stroller - Black Dot!

Double Carseat Clip - Graco

0 comments

This car seat clip came with no instructions to install. After spending an hour unbuttoning and taking off the mountain buggy fabic seat to put in the car seat holder, I found that once I attached it and put the graco seat in, there was no way to make the carseat stay put. The carseat wouldn't clip properly and it's so unsafe, there is NO WAY I would use it and put my baby in it. The carseat can just fall out. I was extremely disappointed and frustruated with this product. Unsafe and not worth the money. I do, however, love the mountain buggy stroller itself. this clip is a piece of unsafe junk though.Buy Double Carseat Clip - Graco!

This cover doesn't fit our double jogging stroller perfectly, but it does the job. The baby is much much warmer with it on; we moved to Germany and it rains a lot - it's been great and she can see out which she loves. I guess you do have to be careful when folding it up in the cold to prevent cracking.Buy Graco Double Jogging Stroller Rain Cover!

Graco Quattro Tour Duo Stroller - Metropolitan

I've been using this stroller for a year. After doing a lot of research I chose this stroller because of the ability to recline both seats and the large basket on the bottom. The cup holders for everyone is great!

When I bought this my older daughter was 21 months and my newborn was 1 month. Now the older one is almost 3 and the younger one is 14 months. They both seem to love riding in this stroller. They switch seats all the time. I didn't notice too much of a difference in steering one way or another. This thing is a beast to steer.

I was disappointed that the front wheels started to squeak almost right away. It took about half a year for it to finally stop doing that. The lever to lower the basket doesn't always work. You have to jiggle it a few times.

I was hesitant to get rid of this stroller because I love the basket and the cup holders. Ultimately, after trying my friend's Bob Duallie, I made the switch. Even though the Duallie is wider because it's side by side I can get through a lot more spaces than this stroller because it maneuvers a lot better. And even though the strollers may weigh about the same the Duallie feels 10 times lighter because it maneuvers so much better. Yes...the Bob Duallie costs a lot more but it really holds up its resell value.Buy Graco Quattro Tour Duo Stroller - Metropolitan!

Graco DuoGlider LXI Stroller - Darius

0 comments

My children are 23 months apart, and we loved this stroller. Now that the older one is 3, though, we are going to transition to a single.

Both kids have ridden happily in this stroller for long walks and short walks. The storage area is AWESOME. I guess the only drawback is the single cupholder for parents. It folds beautifully and easily. It's a little on the heavy side, but it's a heavy-duty double stroller. If you want something to take up and down 2 flights of stairs, it's not for you.

We used it with the baby in the front and the older child in the back, and the older child loves to recline in there.

We've also gotten lots of compliments on fabric. All in all my favorite stroller that we have.Buy Graco DuoGlider LXI Stroller - Darius!

Graco Quattro Tour Duo Stroller - Gianni

I received this as a gift when I was pregnant with my 2nd. I have a 2 year old and an infant now. I have to agree with the other review - it can be very difficult to set this stroller up. It is heavy and you have to have a system in place to get it in and out of the car. I have to line it up parallel with my minivan trunk and then lift it up and put it in the same parallel position. It can be very difficult to manuever once you have lifted it into the trunk. It just barely fits sideways in my trunk. Same story here with getting my infant into the rear seat. You have to always recline the back seat first which was tricky at first but now I am used to it. Then you have to tip the infant seat in a weird way to get it to lock into the seat. The front wheels lock in a straight position each time and the back brake goes on each time you fold it up. I'm used to all those weird features now.

BROKEN HANDLES - we just flew to FL last week and the stroller didn't make it through the gate check in process without breaking. BOTH handles broke off completely when they gave me my stroller back at the gate. I'm about to start my research on how I get replacement handles - I'll be sure to edit my review based on what I hear back from Graco.

I did a lot of research before suggesting this stroller and it does get great reviews. I'm not sure what went wrong here...Buy Graco Quattro Tour Duo Stroller - Gianni!

Graco DuoRider Stroller in Abbington

0 comments

We had the Graco duoglider a.k.a LIMO and my girls were constantly pulling eachothers hair, kicking the seat and have difficulty seeing when in the back seat so we decided it was time for a new stroller. I found this side by side and we love it! I did take off the bumpers in the front. I didn't really see the need for them. It has a great basket underneath, I love the fact that the seat covers come off to throw in the laundry and there is a cup holder for the parent that is great for storage also (keys, sunglasses, binkies!). I didn't realize that it came with one, you can't really tell in the picture. It was a great surprise! I highly recommmend this stroller, it is easy to push, smooth ride and the girls love to sit next to eachother. Buy Graco DuoRider Stroller in Abbington!

The stroller came with snags in the green fabric. The green fabric is like a satin material. It isn't a material that a stroller should be made out of. We returned it for the zurich pattern, which is made with a better quality material, one more suitable for a stroller. Buy Graco Quattro Tour Duo Stroller, Ionic!

As the owner of an independant baby gear and crib rental company I have the chance to try out alot of baby gear. I have had both the regular duoglider and the LX. The LX is a nicer quality, however it is quite heavy when loading in and out of the car. I don't seem to notice it feels heavier when walking with it.

Cons:
Easy of use very very poor.
Cheep construction
Not able to use stroller visors when using baby car seat.
Front seat tray is very difficult to open and close.
Very hard to open and cloths stroller.


Pros:
Ligth weight
Does not tip with one child in use.
Resonable shock absorbption.

May not be specific to this stroller but the design of front back is difficult to turn and dangerous in parking lots. Its very hard to see who is comming without putting your little onse in harms way.
