Nice stroller with some useful design features
on February 1, 2018
Posted by: tjmolter
I have used other single to double strollers in the past, and I was quite impressed by some of the design features of this stroller. First, It is cool that the seat can turn into a bassinet and back. This has the added benefit of allowing you have the 5 point harness in the bassinet, which some other strollers do not have. Second, I really love that you don't need to buy an extra skateboard attachment for your older child. As you expand the stroller, there is a built in place for the child to stand. Third, the clip in spot for the second seat (which is sold separately), is folded neatly away into the base of the frame, meaning you don't have to look for, purchase, or attach any extra parts. The one handed fold is very easy. The sun canopies are large and nice. I like the way the parent handle can be adjusted, and parent cup holder, parent phone holster, and child snack trays are included and easily snap on and off.
The downside to this stroller is that it is bulky, somewhat heavy, and awkward to carry. If you are rolling it in and out of your garage, you are all set, and I would definitely recommend it as an awesome stroller for one kid, twins, or two kids of different ages. If you are frequently getting it in or out of car, you may have more trouble. If you have to take it up and down steps, or are thinking of traveling with it, I would look elsewhere. I think it would take up too much room in the car for road trips (I have an Outback), and I can't imagine getting this thing through the airport.
I was grateful to receive this product for testing from the weeSpring Parent Panel.

Very Easy to use and comparatively lightweight!

This stroller is great! I love that is can transport both of my children but is not the size and weight of a true double stroller! If you don't have a lot of trunk space this stroller is a good choice as well, although the seat insert does not fold up very well. I have a 21 month old and a 6 week old and am petit so taking trips out seemed daunting to me before having this stroller. It folds and unfolds easily and works perfectly with my graco snugride 35 infant car seat. It's also not too big to use if only taking one of your children out. The only downsides that I've experienced is that the seat for my toddler is a little difficult to take out (you have to push the buttons down hard) and the toddler seat does not have a good view unless your toddler wants to look at your baby. I really do recommend getting this stroller if you have or plan to have 2 young children. I think the step for a toddler to stand on while you push will work for us when my son is a bit older, but for now I don't use that feature because he tries to jump off the stroller too much. Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for letting me try this out, it's great!

Easy to use

I have the honor of being a momma to4, with my two littlest girls being 17 months apart (can you say "surprise baby"?!). They are 3 and 19 months now, but both are tiny and still want to be held or in a stroller when we are out. I've had the Graco Ready2Grow Classic Connect for about 2 years and really like it. My biggest issue has been that it is so bulky when folded and the seats are very small. I have a Buick Enclave and don't have a ton of trunk space. With that stroller I have to take everything off to make it fit. The basket is tricky to access, and it can be difficult to steer when weighed down. It also doesn't work well for one child (it truly was built for 2).
I was given the opportunity to try the Uno2Duo stroller by the weeSpring Parent Panel and love it! The seats are large and SO easy to remove. It is very easy to switch up the position of the seats. My youngest loves watching us as we push her and I love that this stroller has a configuration where she can face us. The basket is huge. It's perfect for when we go to the farmer's market. My 3 year old loves riding in the bottom seat. When she's feeling independent there is a great standing platform she can ride on instead of sitting - my 6 year old has also ridden on it and it didn't affect the stroller's steering. It can shrink down with the push of a button to be a single stroller and actually looks like a single stroller, not just a double missing the second seat. I played around with the bassinet feature and wish I had that when my girls were tiny! It is so roomy! The sun shades are huge and ventilated (this is very important here in South Texas). The handle also extends for taller parents. When folded it still is a bit bulky but it fits much easier in my car. It isn't as long folded as the other stroller and the seats are much easier to remove and store. When it folds down it doesn't fold in half and stand on end. It folds down flat onto the 4 wheels and can be pushed/pulled like a wagon which makes storing it MUCH easier than most strollers. The fabric and color choices are also beautiful!
This is now my go-to stroller when we are out and about. I highly recommend this for anyone with stroller riders!

Good, Sturdy Stroller with Versatility
on January 31, 2018
Posted by: chkymnky31
I received this stroller from the weeSpring Parent Panel. I had been in need of a double stroller for my toddlers, especially for road trips. I have relatively average-sized children, a 2-year-old boy and a 3.5-year-old- girl. I wanted to have something that gave me the flexibility of comfort for her as the 2nd seat and the flexibility of being able to jump on/off that I think is imperative when traveling with an older toddler.
First of all, assembly was comparable to other strollers. It took me about 20-25 minutes. Instructions were clear and all parts were included.
Since my other double stroller does not have a second seat (it is configured more like a sit/stand), I wanted to try the configuration where my daughter was able to use the 2nd seat below her brother. I also received the separate seat for review and this was also very easy to assemble. I asked my daughter which she preferred and she stated while this configuration was definitely more comfortable for her - she was able to relax/recline vs. sitting on a tiny board-like thing on the other stroller, she was not happy with not being able to see anything as the seat lies below the 1st seat. My daughter is active and not the type who has ever fallen asleep in a stroller so unless she was very tired, I don't think I would be able to keep her like this for very long. It does also have the feature of being able to use it as a standing area for a toddler so this may work better at times for us.
This stroller has very nice parent features including a cup holder/phone holder and a very roomy under-stroller basket. It would come in handy if I were out shopping at my favorite stores for sure! The canopy is generous for our south Texas sun so I really appreciated that.
Maneuverability is similar to my other double. I really like that the stroller extends to accommodate growing legs for the 2nd child. However, it feels much sturdier than my other stroller, which I always feel is going to fall apart during turns. Width is perfect for standard doorways and I never felt I was hogging more than my usual aisle space when I was out shopping.
The weight of the stroller was somewhat of a surprise in that it's relatively heavy and takes up quite a bit of trunk space, but I have a minivan so not a problem for me. Folding up/out is a breeze and can be done with one-hand which I also appreciate as one of my hands is usually making sure my kids aren't running around!
Overall, I really appreciated weeSpring for sending me this stroller for review - when I know I'm going to be outdoors, I tend to reach for this stroller vs. my other stroller because of the generous canopy and the sturdiness. I think that if it was purchased for 2 children/babies when they were very young, it would definitely get a lot of time outside the house for years. The versatility can't be beat - I think it offers more configurations than any other stroller on the market! I love that it can be purchased as a single for a family with 1 baby and there is no need to purchase a 2nd stroller when baby 2 comes along!

Modern style, adaptable, functional
on January 31, 2018
Posted by: Mamasloth
I received the UNO2DUO by weeSpring Parent Panel to try it out. I’m greatful for the opportunity to find my next favorite stroller!
Assembly: Assembly was pretty easy and straight forward.
Style: It has the look of the higher end modern European strollers which I love. The material is easy to clean and the black and gray looks sophisticated and neutral. The shade is bigger than most which is great for sun protection and nap time.
Functionality: The fact that it has so many configurations is awesome! I can use it in single forward facing, mommy facing, and bassinet mode which is great if we’re out and about during nap time.
I love the storage, it’s huge which I’ve found hard to come by with stylish strollers.
It also has a standing platform for older kids as well as an optional second seat.
The frame itself extends to accommodate these features which I like because if I’m only using it in single mode it’s more compact.
If my oldest wants to sit instead, the second seat only goes in forward facing but that’s not a problem for her.

Ride: The wheels are huge (also love!) but they’re not rubber air filled which I prefer. The treads aren’t much either so it doesn’t roll well on lumpy grass or busted pavement or sidewalks. When on smooth surfaces it rolls and turns like a dream whether in UNO or DUO mode.
Push comfort: The handle is higher than any stroller I’ve ever had plus it extends even more. It would be great for tall parents but I’m very short and it works fine for me.
Fold: It doesn’t fold small but it does fold and unfold one handed which is nice. It also only folds in single forward facing mode which is kind of annoying to be honest. I have to take the second seat off and put the other seat forward and upright in order to fold it. For the most I use it in UNO mode or DUO with standing platform so it wasnt too much of an issue.
Overall: For the most part I really like this stroller because it has so many options and can adapt in so many ways depending on the situation. The UNO2DUO is pretty great of you like things that grow with your family and will be useful from birth up till your youngest outgrows it.

Bulky when folded but great to use!
on January 30, 2018
Posted by: texasmama5
Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this stroller! My two year old son absolutely loves riding in a stroller so when we found out we were having another baby, we knew we needed something more than our single rider strollers (we have three) so we got a twin stroller and then received this one from weeSpring to try out.
STROLLER DESIGN:
*Pros: The design is very modern and similar to other one-to-two seat strollers. The canopy is large with great coverage and I LOVE the dark gray patterned fabric with the peek-a-boo flap. The stroller is not as long as our other double stroller so I don't feel like the child in the front seat is too far away. The storage space especially when used with just one child is drastically bigger than my other strollers - but is reduced when the second seat is in. The stroller is a smooth wide and steers relatively well.
*Cons: The seats come in and out but do require a bit of a tug to get them out. The biggest flaw I saw was that when my child was in the second (lower) seat, his fingers could reach the wheel. I made my own wheel flap cover so that his fingers wouldn't get caught in the wheel but I wish there was something to protect little fingers.

STROLLER CONFIGURATIONS:
*Pros: There are SO many different ways for littles to ride! The standing platform is easy to switch to and is nice to have for kids who enjoy walking but may need a break. I also LOVE the bassinet feature for my baby! I also love being able to use my Graco click connect carseat.
*Cons: I always take a water bottle when we are out and my toddler loves to copy me. There is no spot for a cup holder for the second seat.

*Cons: I always take a water bottle when we are out and my toddler loves to copy me. There is no spot for a cup holder for the second seat.
STROLLER FOLDING/STORAGE:
*Pros: One handed fold and there is a latch to keep it together once it's folded so it can be stored on its side. It also sets up smoothly and easily.
*Cons: The stroller is quite large when folded. It requires a lot more storage space compared to my other strollers. Also, the second seat has to be removed for the stroller to fold and the main seat can only be in certain configurations. I wish at least the wheels would fold in or something to make it not take up so much room to store. We only have compact cars and it takes up almost the entire trunk so I can't leave it in there or I won't have room when I get groceries, etc.

FAVORTIE FEATURES:
*My favorite features are the bassinet, the smooth ride, the color, and the standing platform option. The stroller compares to many other one-to-two strollers but the price is much better. It's a good stroller if you have the room to store it.

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!

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!
