Better than the rest!,
I bought this stroller for my two — currently 2 years old and 2 months old. I’ve been using for two months and do not regret the purchase at all! It’s everything the descriptions says it is. Compared to the other double strollers out there, it is very light weight and compact when folded. It’s also exceptionally maneuverable. I can whip it around racks and thru doors one handed. I’ve done quite a bit of shopping with it and discovered that it does very well in the malls. It fits through all of the single door entrances in the mall — from the main doors to dressing rooms to restrooms. It also does just fine in most of the stores aisles. Some stores jam racks in so tight that it’s difficult to walk thru by yourself, regardless of having a stroller, but that can’t be helped.
I really debated about going straight to an umbrella-style stroller rather than purchasing a full size one.
The two drawbacks to doing that are this: can’t snap an infant car seat into the stroller and the small basket. I decided that these two drawbacks were worth it for several reasons. The basket wasn’t a huge issue because I realized I never used the basket much on the full size Graco single stroller that I had before. The diaper bag was always to large adn when I was shopping, my bags were usually too big as well. I just toss the bags on the handles of the Maclaren while I shop and unsnap the basket to stuff jackets, spare toys and extra blankets down there. I did purchase the Maclaren universal organizer for double strollers. It’s a great place to stash cell phones, toys, sippycups and drinks for mom! The car seat issue was a tough one because it is a nice feature to have, however, most babies get fed up with sitting backwards in the car seat after a few months anyway. My son wanted to see everything by the time he was 4 months and I quit using the carrier in his Graco as soon as he was able to sit up enough for the stroller seat. Since I was certain that I’d want a double umbrella anyway, I couldn’t see spending upwards of $200 on a full-size double stroller just to be able to use the carrier with it for four months and then spend more money on an umbrella. The seat reclines enough for my newborn to lay snugly in it. I did purchase JJ Cole Body and head support for her just to make sure she’s not slouching to the side, but she’s big enough now that she really doesn’t need it anymore.
A few other quirks I’ve noticed:It’s not quite as easy to open and close as my Maclaren single and my graco single. But, it may just be that I’m still getting used to it. Also, my 2 yr old is rather tall (37″), so his head is nearing the top of the seat. He still sits comfortably, but I sincerely doubt he will be able to sit in it for more than another year. It’s also a little narrow through the shoulders for him, but still comfortable. If he was a huskier child, it might be a tight fit.

|Room for double stroller and suitcase in my car’s trunk!,
I’ve got a 2 year old and a 6 month old. I was looking for a double stroller that would accommodate both of them, while fitting comfortably in the trunk of my car. We do a lot of traveling, so having a stroller that fills my entire trunk just wouldn’t do. This stroller is working out great. When folded up It is actually smaller than the single Graco stroller we had before. It is nice and narrow, maneuvering really well in tight spaces (as compared to other double strollers). It also handles well, even with one side caring the weight of a large 2 year old and the other side carrying only a 6 month old. Even if my 2 year old wants to get out and walk a bit, it handles nicely while carrying only our 6 month old. Downsides? Well, the instructions for assembly were not great. They only gave diagrams, and a little extra clarification would have been great. Fortunately there wasn’t much to assemble. Also, opening it is a little difficult at first. You definitely need shoes on, cause you really need to jump on the leaver to snap it open. It does seem to be getting easier as it is being used though. Whether that’s the stroller loosening up, or the operator figuring things out, I’m not sure. Overall, excellent stroller.

|Great purchase!,
I researched and researched a twin stroller. After reading reviews upon reviews we went with this one and are not disappointed. I have a 12 wk old and 19 month old and cannot tell the difference in their weights – it makes no difference in maneuvering it. We were prepared to pay any amount for a good stroller that we could use for years to come and this is it! We are very, very happy with our choice. It is such a daunting decision to make a purchase on something that costs a few hundred dollars.
There are two negatives. One is the straps. I went and bought shoulder pads for both sets of straps as they rubbed against my 19 mo. old’s neck and my 3 mo. old laid on the buckle. It was an additional twelve dollars. The other is when it is closed the inside of the canopies rest against the wheels and therefore they get dirty. I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong or if I’m supposed to take the canopies off each time (which I’m not going to do because it would be too much hassle).
For everything else, it is an absolute dream stroller and worth the money!
