Mixed Feelings - Works, yet Quirky
on July 19, 2018
Posted by: AmLe
Bought Feb. 2018 for a then 2-mo. old and 19-mo. old. It gets me where I need to go (in snow, rain, and sun), and it fit my budget, yet there are drawbacks. The top seat does not fold forward, which makes the baggage area more difficult to reach from the top. The frame for the bench seat gets in the way from the front, and the baggage area needs to hold more weight. I have to remove the sunshades for the stroller to fit into the back of my SUV - not difficult, but tedious. The away-from-me forward closure is awkward - my single Graco stroller closed toward me, which was much easier. My 6-foot husband cannot push it without his shoulders hurting, because the handle bar is too short. The trays are worthless - cup holders do not hold my water bottles or my kids's cups, and the catch-all areas are not even big/deep enough for my little iPhone 5s. It can be difficult to maneuver and keep rolling straight, especially on sideways slopes, since the front child sits on top of the wheels. I purchased the stroller from BabiesRUs; therefore, I can no longer get replacement parts - "retail exclusive" model number. Would I buy again - maybe...I have used it and will continue to use it for now.

Not what I expected
on December 18, 2018
Posted by: Momma1
I bought this about a month ago and loved the idea of it since I have a toddler and a newborn. We immediately notice some issues the day we decided to use it.
1. It's bulky. It barely fits into my ford fusion. We have to take off some parts in order for it to fit and it still barely fits. My husband and I get frustrated finding a way to make it fit in our trunk everytime we use it.
2. The back bottom seat is partially covered when the car seat is placed up front. My toddler can't sit comfortably on that seat.
3. The compartment is hard to get to. It seems like the only way to get to the compartment is to move the front seat forward. It's an inconvenience when you're constantly having to get something or put something in it.
4. The cup holder is too small for almost any cup. It only has one cup holder by the handle but has two cup holders where the child sits.

We would return this product but we dont have the receipt or the box anymore. If you have enough space, patience, and can deal with all these issues then it's a great buy.

Don't let the bad reviews stop you!

I was so nervous to buy this stroller because of negative reviews. I have a 1 year old and a newborn. People keep saying it is so huge and not functional. But honestly, it looks great and is pretty compact. I think the customers who reviewed negatively just did not read the instructions on how to use this stroller. There are so many accessories, you don't have to have them on all at once! The stroller is actually very sleek looking and is perfect for carrying the accessories in the storage area along with 2 diaper bags. About the cup holder, it holds any average bottled water perfectly. If you are using a newborn car seat, just find what combination works best for you and your older child. I like my 1 year old sitting closest to me at the handle and my newborn behind her- both kids facing me! The little canopies are cute and useful for holding a thin muslin blanket over the kids to protect them from sun wind or rain and are removable to be convenient for the different combos. I don't really intend to use this stroller once both of my kids are out of the infant car seat. In about 1 year it would be time to upgrade to a graco double stroller made for 2 toddlers! If you have a kid under the age of 3 and another younger child...I totally suggest this stroller to you. I'm pretty sure this works for twins too.

Great for two!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this before our new baby boy arrived so he could go on walks with his 1 year old sister to the park. It’s a great stroller to have with both babies being under 2 years old and the one year old wanting to get out and run around all the time! Works perfectly while the baby boy catches up on sleep! Great purchase and the best double stroller with the best price after all of my research! So happy I bought it!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Unusable
on April 21, 2020

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have three kids going on four and have bought ALOT of graco products, and this is the only one that has been truly disappointing. It fits in no car, I have a SUV and the only way I could get it in was with the seats down which entirely defeats the purpose because my kids need to sit in the back seat. I then tried to just use it as a walking stroller for around my neighborhood, nope. It is so heavy I had to have my husband carry it out and unfortunately he’s not going to be there every time to get it outside. Once outside, for its one and only time in use, it was so uncomfortable to use. It could hardly turn to the point my husband had to lift the front end while I pushed to the needed side, so unless you are only ever going to go forward in a straight line it’s pointless. The directions were also a bit confusing in some places on placements. Very annoying. Wish I could return. Do yourself a favor and look for something with better maneuvering and lighter!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Durable material

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received this stroller as a gift. I like the space and comfort it provides. The cup holder is too narrow for most adult cups/water bottles. The stride length is short. It is often annoying to kick the bottom step on the stroller while walking. Very durable seat and umbrella material.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] bought this for a 4 yr old and newborn works great and isn’t very heavy. I do hit my leg on the bottom when walking sometimes that is the only downfall.

Everything We Needed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this with the arrival of our second child. My kids are 15 months apart so we needed space and room to grow. We loved the sit and stand feature as they got older. My only complaint was how bulky it was, however i don't really think that can be avoided. even though it was bulky it wasnt hard to lift or fold. It was just a tight squeeze into my trunk. Other than that we love everything else it had to offer. We also had the snug ride infant seat that we used in conjunction. So easy and versatile!
