Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I adore this stroller! I have had a Safety First tandem double stroller for 4.5 years. It is so bulky, hard to steer, and if I put more weight in the front, I might as well forget it. It also took up the whole back of my Jeep Grand Cherokee and was a major struggle for me to get in and out of the bed of our Chevy Silverado. I started shopping for a new double soon after our newest addition was born. I have a very tall 4yo, tall 2yo, and a 5mo. I wanted them all to be able to ride in either seat and be able to manuever, fold, transport, and steer easily. I'm also tall, 6ft, and my husband is 6'1" so I wanted one with a high enough handle and that we wouldn't kick.
This one works GREAT! I've actually taken all three children shopping in this WITH a shopping cart, by myself! I can have any of the children in it with either one of the other children on either side and it steers like a dream! It turns on a dime and has fit through ever door way. When I go shopping, I can push them straight into the bathroom and into the handicap stall with me! My very tall 4yo LOVES riding in it and can lie all the way down comfortably. My 5mo also fits in it really well. I do recommend the Kiddopotamus Snuzzler to give a small baby some extra stability, but it's easy to fit in and out. The strap height is easily adjustable and my kids haven't had any problems with the hardware.
This stroller is light and folds compact. If I pop the wheels off, I can fit it in the back of my mom's Chrysler Pacifica! It is so easy to do, I don't mind at all. It also fits in the side door if I just don't feel like popping them off. I can still fit it in the back with the wheels, but it touchs the glass of the back window. It really is just as easy to fold it as lifting the strap in the seats! There are 4 snaps on the frame as safety straps, but they are no more of a pain for folding and unfolding than the squeeze, twist, lift, lock...of other strollers. I also find I don't have a problem motivating myself to carry this stroller in from outside from the weather and changing vehicles. So many times, with my other stroller, I wanted to have a stroller with me, but getting it loaded and wrestling with it all day caused me to leave it behind and just struggle without it.
The only cons: 1. The storage bag is as hard to access as they (reviews from earlier year models) say it is. I access it from the sides and use it mostly for coats and blankets. I also keep items packed in individual bags and cases in my diaper bag, so I just toss whichever ones I think I'll need into the bottom or back of the seats. I bought two stroller hooks for the handle and use that for my bags. 2. I'm going to have to buy the belly bar, console, and snack trays separately. I do think they will come in handy. I'm still debating on whether or not I want to buy the car seat adaptor for it. I'll be getting a new car seat with our next baby and plan on using this stroller for a LONG time!
I love this stroller so much, I look forward to going out and having opportunity to use it. The price is more than I've spent on anything for my kids before. But my tandem was $250 and I dreaded using it! I was looking at the other available doubles at the local baby stores and they were $180 and up and were just as big, bulky, unweildy, and heavy. I'd buy this stroller again in a heartbeat!
