perfect for growing families
on January 29, 2018
Posted by: allieshannon
I am a mom of a 3 year old and a 16 month old and have been looking for a convertible stroller just like the Graco UNO2DUO offers. There are so many options to configure the perfect stroller for our families needs each day. My 3 year old is so comfortable and happy on the ride along board, and having the option to have my youngest facing either direction has been something I thought would only be possible with really high end strollers. The transitions between stroller positions is so easy- there has been no frustration with this stroller at all so far. Adjusting the recline and harnesses to fit each child is easy to learn. Adding the second seat was so easy I didn’t even have to consult the directions. Folding the stroller is also simple. While it is on the heavier side, I didn’t expect a double stroller with so many capabilities to be very light. The design is unique and also looks really nice. The canopy is a really nice dark grey that compliments the black frame really nicely and suits families with boys or girls. It is a generous size which is important to me since I like to keep my kids out of the sun as much as possible. The peek-a-boo window is a nice touch!
The kids were comfortable when they were both in the seats facing outward, but it doesn’t seem like there is a lot of legroom left as my 3 year old gets taller. As he prefers to stand on most short trips to the park, the most popular configuration for our family has been with him on the ride along board and my youngest facing outward. I would absolutely recommend this stroller to anyone with a growing family who want a stroller that can accommodate them through all the stages children go through as they grow.
I received this stroller and the second seat to try as part of the weeSpring Parent Panel.

Great Stroller when in Use, Wish it was alot small
on January 29, 2018
Posted by: jmustard
The Graco Uno2Duo Stroller is a great option for a double stroller and much cheaper compared to other similar strollers. I love that the 2nd seat connects without an extra piece because the attachments fold out of the stroller. The standing platform is also great, but would be better if you could use with the 2nd seat attached because my son can never make up his mind. We liked that we could turn the front seat around half way through our zoo trip because the kids wanted to look at each other, and turning it around was very easy. Also, we didn't use this feature, but I love that the first seat can turn into a bassinet without anything extra, that is a great feature for newborns! The overall size of the stroller as a double is great and much shorter in length than others I have seen, without having the second seat run into your legs. Some things that could be improved: the snack tray sits out so far that my daughter couldn't reach the snacks we put on it or reach her water, the recline on the seats is easy to let out but a bit tricky to pull back up, and the size of the stroller once folded is huge, the stroller and the 2 seats take up almost the entire trunk space in our Dodge Journey. Overall I think it is a great double option but too big as a single stroller. Also, while we loved alot of aspects of the stroller, the overall size when folded is a bit too large unless you have a very large car and leave it in there most of the time. Thanks to weeSpring Parent Panel for the stroller!

Happy Kids, Happy Mama!
on January 29, 2018
Posted by: MamaKit
With 2 active kids under age 5, I desperately needed a way to transport both of them that didn't kill my back. I settled for a sit & stand stroller. It was ok for what it was, but wasn't all that. Enter the Graco Uno2Duo Stroller.
All the configurations make this a fantastic product for the money! With my youngest at 2 years old, we haven't used the bassinet feature. My sister-in-law is expecting a baby around May; so, I'll probably test it out then. The other configurations have worked really well for us. My 4 year old can stand on the back, or use the second seat. My 2 year old can sit facing forward to see things, or facing backward to sleep or to interact with big brother. I do wish that the second seat was a bit higher. I can't imagine that my 4 year old WANTS to stare at the back of his brother's seat; but, that's what the step is for, I guess.
The ease of folding & lifting the stroller to store, to put into a vehicle, or to take out make it far easier to use than any of our previous strollers. It does take up a good amount of space when folded, though. It actually fills up a lot of the storage space in the back of our Mitsubishi Montero Sport.
I love that the stroller comes with the snack tray, the phone & drinker holder for whoever is pushing, & the attachment hardware for the Second Seat. Thanks, weeSpring Parent Panel, for the opportunity to try this stroller, and the Second Seat!

Versatile Grow With You Stroller
on January 29, 2018
Posted by: Cwtsang626
We were so excited to try the Graco Uno2Duo Stroller out. Upon opening the box, everything was conveniently packaged with clear instructions. It took us about 45 minutes to put together and was pretty straight forward. The axel for the wheels was a bit tricky, but after twisting it a couple of different ways, the washer fit right in. Our favorite feature was the versatility of both kids being able to ride several different ways. The first configuration that we tried out was just having one kid facing forward. We loved being able to look down and see him in the peek-a-boo window and the canopy covered enough where the sun wasn’t in his eyes at all. The next way we tried was turning the seat backwards (facing us). This was a really nice feature and allowed plenty of room at the bottom for storage. After that, we extended the stroller (super easy with just the push and pull of a button) and let our toddler ride on the back. We really liked that you could adjust the height of the handle to adjust for growth. The cup holder and phone holder on each side was a nice extra feature, as well! The stroller folds down very easily, but is quite heavy (which is expected for a double stroller) and a bit bulky. Folded down it is about foot deep at its skinniest point without factoring in the wheels, if you include the wheels it makes it about 19 inches deep (this is with the stroller folded and all four wheels on the ground, from the bottom of the wheel to the top of the folded stroller). As an added point if you opt to have the second seat it must be removed before folding the stroller down and the primary seat must be in the forward facing position. Overall, we were pleasantly surprised by all of the configurations and how smooth the ride and navigation was for everyone involved. And we are extremely thankful to the weeSpring Parent Panel for sending us the amazingly versatile Graco Uno2Duo Stroller.

Lots of features but big and heavy
on January 29, 2018
Posted by: Llehman
I was given this stroller to try as part of the weeSpring Parent Panel. It was easy to set up, and I finished in about 30 minutes with a toddler running around helping me. I probably could have put it together in less time without any distractions. Compared to my current strollers, I thought that this stroller was monstrous. The stroller seems to have a very large footprint and is not very compact. It also does not have a standing fold to save space. I tried to put the stroller in my empty trunk (Hyundai Sonata) without removing the seat, but no matter how hard I tried, it would not fit. Thankfully, I could remove the seat and fit the stroller in my trunk. It is very easy to attach and remove the seat, but it does take an extra step. The stroller takes up most of the space in my trunk too. The stroller is super easy to fold and unfold with one hand; however, you do need two hands to install the seats. Even though each of the pieces are light, when all the pieces are together, the stroller gets pretty heavy to lift. I thought the stroller was made with nice sturdy materials especially for the frame, seat, and canopy. The foot brake is very easy to use too. The stroller rolls well when moving straight but harder to turn compared to three wheeled strollers. The handle bar is adjustable but my husband and I both agree it is too high even in its original position (I’m 5 feet tall and he’s 6 feet tall). I tried the stroller in many configurations. When I used it as a single stroller it was easy to push and had a huge storage basket underneath. The stroller seat sits high and my 1 year old really enjoyed sitting in it. I also used the stroller with my 3 year old standing on the platform. The platform was wide and sturdy for my child to stand on. I was able to turn the seat to face my standing child, and they both really enjoyed being able to interact with each other. Lastly, I used the stroller with the second seat attached. It was easy to expand the stroller, lift up the mechanisms to attach the second seat, and install and remove the second seat. There was lots of room for my child sitting in the second seat, and it didn’t seem like the first seat was right on top of her. Again, my children enjoyed being able to face each other and interact. However, the stroller was heavy to push with both children in it, and I really had to muscle it to get it to turn sometimes. Overall, I think the stroller is well made, sturdy, and serves its purpose if you are looking for one stroller that would take you from one child to multiple children. It also seems to be at a very good price point for the quality and the extra features. I really liked the large storage basket underneath, the easy one hand fold, and the built in standing platform for the older child. However, if you are looking to save space and need something light and compact, this would not be the stroller for you.

Attention new AND expanding families
on January 29, 2018
Posted by: Hollyrod08
As a mother of 4 young children I need convience, durability, comfort, ease of use and compact style of stroller. In the new Graco UNO2DUO I honestly have found all these things. I am an avid stroller researcher/purchaser. I’ve had some major brands of double stroller to compare this to. I’ve had the Baby Johger City Select, Maclaren Double and the City Mini GT double. Below is my honest unbias rating.
Pros:
-VERY universal: purchase for the first baby and can add a seat AND extend to even hold an addition child or fussy preschooler that no longer wants to sit in a seat. I love the extender more than I ever liked the City Select add on rider (actually hated City Selects)
-Folds very nice and compact for how large and sturdy it is. It’s as slim as the City Select
- Baby seats sits very upright which for my kids (and most kids) is really important because they love to see everything all around.
-Comfortable, soft, cushy seats with crotch and neck pads
-Heavy duty steel frame
-Very easy to switch around the seats to NUMEROUS configurations
- Great deep recline for the front seat
- The seat that comes with the stroller can also become a bassinet that looks very aesthetically pleasing once in position. This to me is absolutely so impressive, other high end strollers charge an arm and leg for something so simple as this that’s GREAT for newborns but not really needed after.
- HUGE multi configurable canopy
- I adore that they made the ability to do a 5 (where straps go over the shoulder) or 3 (which is just the hip belts) point harness. That’s so attractive for toddler use when they don’t need to be strapped to a seat for support but need to be held in place.
- They INCLUDE a snack tray! I mean really this company is really generous what they offer for the price.. truly as a person whose owned some VERY expensive strollers I always thought it was terrible that companies make the consumer buy so many accessories separately.
- Cup AND cell phone holder. The phone holder held my 7 plus iPhone perfectly.
- Extendable handlebar which also has a very nice foam handle. I’m on the taller side 5’6” and I have deep, long strides while walking fast and thus need the ability to hand more walking space so the extendable handle is great
- GIANT basket and if you extend the stroller it’s even bigger a dream for mother’s on trips, Disneyland, or multiple children.
- If you add the second seat, the basket area has a place for the child to set their feet to not get the basket area messy or ruin the material.
- Great, sturdy foot breaks that are super easy even with sandals (I tried) to lock and unlock.
- My toddler who is very active and doesn’t like to sit still literally I kid you not was asking to get into the stroller over and over. My preschooler also said it was very comfortable both sitting and standing.
- I can’t stress enough how nice it is when in a hurry to have a child hop on the extender part which is so easy to extend and rush to where you need to be.

CONS: (Going to be as picky as I can)
- Not the absolute easiest to assemble at some parts (although the steps are color coded) just some of the pictures are slightly misleading.
- Frame can rock slightly when turning
- Harder to turn when I have my heavy preschooler sitting in the second seat in the back and my tiny baby in front. I feel like it’s easier when the kids switch.
- Larger vehicle needed for storage
- Heavier than some of my side by sides I’ve had
- Strong chemical smell to it once unboxing but airs out okay.

Overall, I really really like all the qualities of this stroller. I think Graco is a strong company that is very reputable and stands behind good quality products. They are so generous with their accessories and have been the most creative and innovative company to be able to convert a seat to a bassinet. I also love the phone holder and the built in extender that is so convient and well thought of. Adding a second seat is WAY easier and less pieces than the competing brands. I would and will definitely recommend to friends.
I was given this stroller to try as part of the weeSpring Parent Panel. But I strongly believe in always giving my real, unbias options.

Very Versatile Stroller
on January 30, 2018
Posted by: SharlyTMPL
I currently have 2 daughters. My oldest is 4 and my baby is almost 2. I definitely need some sort of double stroller. I love the one I currently have because it can go from single when I have only 1 of my girls with me to double for when I have both. The difference is that the seats are side by side. I was very excited to receive the Graco UNO2DUO stroller from the weeSpring Parent Panel to test out. This stroller can also go from 1 child to 2 very easily. The base of the stroller extends backward and the second seat is placed between the first seat and the handle bar, lower to the ground. So the stroller ends up being a lot longer than a standard single seat stroller but thinner than a standard side-by-side double stroller. I love taking this stroller on day trips as a single stroller because there is a "skateboard" platform built in to the frame. My kids can take turns walking, sitting, or standing on the skateboard while I can comfortably push the stroller. A great bonus is that the stroller comes with easily attachable cup and cell phone holders for mom and dad and snack tray for the kids. Another bonus feature that im looking forward to using in the future is snapping my baby's Graco infant car seat right into the frame of this stroller. Now, folding the stroller is a breeze as it can be folded while the main seat is still attached to the frame. However it is a bit bulky and heavy compared to an umbrella stroller. Overall, a very useful and versatile stroller!

Good versatile stroller, exceeded my expectations!
on January 30, 2018
Posted by: annekc
I have an almost 5yo and an almost 2yo and our previous stroller is an older model of an expensive brand with similar features - optional second seat and piggy back board. We have had this other stroller for about 2 years and my oldest has loved using the ride along board that whole time. I was really excited about this stroller because I have been waiting and waiting for someone to come up with a stroller that has a built in ride along board for older siblings! I generally think of Graco as a budget baby gear company, but this stroller exceeded my expectations.
Pros: It was easy to put together, taking maybe 30 min, and the seat is easy to reverse. At first it wasn't pushing very smoothly so I put WD-40 on the front wheels and they smoothed out nicely. I was pleasantly surprised at how nicely it pushes. Not quite as nice our previous, more expensive brand stroller, but for a fraction of the cost I was really impressed. I think it is a lot less bulky feeling and easier to push than other common double strollers I have tried, many of which I have found somewhat cumbersome to maneuver. The handle bar extends really high, a bit higher than our previous stroller, which is nice for taller parents. The extending handlebar also gives plenty of room on the stroller for a sibling to stand, even when the stroller seat is facing out. I have found that on our other stroller it is a bit squishy to have a sibling stand with the stroller seat facing out, we always used it with the stroller seat facing in so the standing sibling would have more room. Pulling out the ride along portion for the older sibling is really easy, just lift slightly on the back of the stroller so the weight of the stroller doesn't prevent you from pulling out. The platform is also nice and high, so the older sibling can see over the top of the stroller seat easily. I found this ride along board to be much easier to manage and better for older siblings than other ride along boards, and was by far my favorite feature of the stroller. The storage under the stroller is really long and wide, but somewhat shallow. I still found I could fit all the things I wanted under the stroller, you can pile things up high because the seat sits high. And the size of the storage makes it easy to find things. I also love how easy this stroller is to fold, you can really fold it one handed and I just use the included snack tray to lift it in and out of my trunk (I drive a Highlander). It isn't very heavy either, considering all the things it can do. It is also much easier to fold that my previous stroller, which requires 2 careful hands to fold. The fabric is easy to wipe down and vacuum off debris. The brakes are easy to use and very secure and the infinite recline is also easy to use and reclines flat. I don't have an infant right now, but I tested the bassinet conversion and found it to be easy to do. And I prefer the seat converting to a bassinet, rather than having a huge bassinet you have to lug around a store. I never used the bassinet with our other stroller because I found it too cumbersome.
Cons: It is quite large when folded, quite a bit larger than our previous double, and I didn't see a way to remove the wheels to make it smaller. Unfolded it is also a bit larger than our other double, even without the ride along board pulled out. The peekaboo window placement is good, but it is a bit small. The seat is also a bit shorter than my previous double stroller, my tall almost 5yo fits better in the other seat than the Graco one. The Graco seat also doesn't sit up perfectly straight, even when pulled all the way upright. My kids didn't seem notice any difference, but some kids do. The snack tray is also a bit far away from the seat for littler kids. I think this is to make room for an infant car seat in the stroller seat so its a trade-off. And while the push is definitely better than any other Graco stroller I have tried, or even some nicer strollers mentioned earlier, it isn't quite as smooth as a premium stroller. The wheels are also slightly smaller so it doesn't handle rough terrain quite as well. I also found the materials felt cheaper than our previous stroller, but I did expect that since it retails for less than half the cost.
Overall I was really impressed with this stroller and enjoyed taking my kids out in it. I think the biggest con is the size when folded and the biggest pro is the built in ride along board that is just so much better than any removable/after market ride along board. All strollers have pros and cons, you just have to find the one with the best balance for you!
Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with great new product to try!
