Great stroller

THE PERFECT STROLLER! I’ve been searching for the perfect stroller since I was expecting my second child, thankfully graco came out with this great stroller for my third child I’ve had other strollers that are way too bulky and not functional or functional but not enough space there was always something wrong but graco did it! This is the perfect stroller if you want to make you life easier when traveling with your little ones you don’t need to look further this is the perfect stroller for you! I am a mother of 3 children 7 year old, 4 year old and 11 months old and I’m always on the go alone with my babies it makes it super easy for me to get my stroller put my 2 smaller babies in there and have my oldest next to me. The maneuvering is very easy doesn’t get stuck like the other strollers. I love that you can go from seating one to two if needed! The assembly was very easy. Multiple ways to use the attachments I tried almost every possible way to recline the top part of the stroller from sitting upright, facing forward, facing backwards, laying down, and bassinet style. The canopy on the top is great quality very durable, Overall it’s a great stroller!! Cons: A bit on the bulky side. The second attachment does get stuck. The quality of the second canopy is not as great as the original. Overall I do love this stroller it comes in handy for me, and believe it or not if you don’t attach the second seat I can fit my 2 older ones at the bottom either sitting or standing great for trips to Disneyland or when they are tired of walking around at the mall all I have to do is make the handle bigger and extend it he bottom and they can sit! Thank you WeeSpring Parent Panel for finding perfect stroller and allowing me to try and review
The Graco Uno2Duo is the 4th double stroller my family has used, and 4th single. UGH, that'a a lot of strollers! But with 2 kids, there's loads of different choices out there. I can honestly say that this stroller has far exceeded my expectations. Graco did well designing this stroller. Sure, it won't work in place of a jogging stroller, or a bike trailer, but for everyday use this thing makes a huge difference! I will be basing comparison off of an everyday stroller for that reason.
Compared to our other in-line double stroller, this one is more compact, but somehow doesn't seem to be any more cramped. The only feature that our other in-line has that this doesn't is the seat configuration to have the back kiddo facing you, which is really ok that we don't have that option. The way that this stroller preforms is also better than any other normal stroller we've had in our arsenal. Having 2 kids makes things a bit more hectic when loading and unloading a vehicle any way, but the Uno2Duo doesn't add to the difficulties. It surprisingly does weigh more than our other double, but the way it handles, you'd never know. This stroller easily turns corners, and doesn't take a ton of space to do so. We haven't had to toss this stroller in a trunk, but it will fit into the hatchbacks of our vehicles easily. Storing the stroller in a closet is fairly easy, and any double stroller will take up some space. You can fold this stroller with the front seat attached, but must remove the back seat to fold it. I find its easier to store with both seats off, but isn't necessary. I have also found that if you lock the front wheels you can store the stroller upright on the front wheels, and handle easily; then stack the seats upright against the stroller. Again, this works well in our house, but as I said any double stroller will take up space.
The things that I love about this stroller are: the fabrics on the seats, and storage basket are durable, and will stand up to abuse well. It's easy to open, and close one-handed. The cupholder and cell phone holder don't rattle around like other strollers. The configurations are easy to figure out, and our girls love any, and all of them (We don't have an infant seat, but our 3 year old, and 20 month old approve of this stroller, and want rides, even inside our house, constantly.). More features that I find super handy: the standing board on back, that adapts to the second seat when needed, It's my favorite feature. The snack tray is easily used by both children when having the seats facing each other. Yet, it doesn't get in the way in that configuration, and stores easily in the basket area when not in use. If you're in a busy area, and want to hide something small, like a wallet, it fits perfectly below the second seat. The extendable handle makes it nice for me, or my husband to push this stroller and is a fast adjustment to make. (I am short and my husband is tall, so having extra height when needed is great.) Plus, when the lower seat is reclined it is nice for me to pull it all the way up so I'm back a bit more and don't feel like I'll hit the lower seat when walking. The seats are easy to use, and move around, even the harnesses are as well (except when moving the shoulder strap for growth).
The Cons to this stroller as far as I can tell are: the wheels are rubberized foam, instead of rubber, but some people like that, just not me. The shoulder straps are hard to move when placing higher for growing, the height of the seat backs aren't very tall for holding up to 50 lbs., if you leave your car with both seats attached, you're stuck with both seats attached. The snack tray is hard to remove, as are the seats if you're standing behind them (it worked best for me to be facing the seats when removing them). And, that is all I can really complain about at this time, so I don't feel like that is enough to detract off for my review.
I did get lucky enough to try the Uno2Duo out for weeSpring's Parent Panel, and would like to thank them for the opportunity to do so! Having said that, I still love this stroller!
*Since we don't need an infant seat, I didn't try that out with this stroller, but I did try out the bassinet feature, and it's easiy to do, and seems like it would work well with a toddler, and a baby.*
I love all the options this stroller has with the seating. My toddler loves that she can stand on the back while she can see her little sister too. The extra expand for the storage basket is awesome. I love this stroller. I received this as part of the WeeSpring parent panel for my review.

The Graco UNO2DUO stroller is what I would call overall a great buy if you’re looking for a secondary, comfier stroller for two.
The pros to this stroller: - long lasting (being a single and/or double stroller) - compatible with Graco bucket seats - lots of storage - one handed collapsing - easy opening - comfy seats for babies - multiple ways to set up the seats - came with cup holder, cellphone holder, and a food/drink tray
The cons to this stroller: - quite wide - all seats have to come completely off before you can collapse the stroller - pieces are bulky - came less assembled than I would prefer
I love that I can use this with my 3 year old and one year old, and that they can sit in any seat configuration that fits what we’re doing. We never used bucket seats, but it’s great that the stroller is compatible for those that do. The storage on this seat was much more than I was expecting and can easily hold enough for a small trip to the grocery store. Opening and closing the stroller is very easy and you can clearly hear when it’s clicked open and is ready/safe to attach the seats. Speaking of the seats, they are good quality and comfy for the kiddos! I’m also happy with the accessories that came with the stroller, as not all strollers come with some of the pieces I would consider essential for stroller use.
Unfortunately, you do have to remove all seats before storing the stroller, which means you will not pop this out of your trunk and get right into the store or park, it will take a few minutes to get it all together and the kids inside, which isn’t ideal when weather is less-than-ideal. Also, between the width and bulk of the stroller, you will not be happy keeping this stroller in your car all the time. I have a Suburban and I still thought this stroller was too big for my car. I will store this in my garage and bring it with me to an appropriate outing, deliberately. The only other complaint I have is the initial assembly. The rear wheel assembly took half the time of the entire assembly, and I’m not sure why they don’t just come pre-attached. The stickers on the stroller are also low quality, and you’ll be spending some time removing them as they shred to a hundred pieces in your fingers.
Overall, I am glad to have this stroller, though I wouldn’t call it a daily user. Definitely perfect for trips to the zoo or shopping in the city, or anywhere you want your kids to be seated and comfy for an extended period of time.
