Graco Duoglider Double Stroller

Review by G. Olivares "MOMMYto-anANGEL" : Graco Quattro Duo

Love the stroller... it swivels nicely, not heavy with the carseat and a 30lb 2 year old in front. My 2 yr old finds the front comfy enough to nap in it, which is a big plus, the reclining on the front seat is awesome and so is the back seat of course. Love the storage, it's really big and you can access it through different sides... love the small storage under the front seat too, my toddler loves to store his goodies there. Loved the color, very gender neutral. Over all happy with the stroller.

Review by Chicago Cubs Mom : Almost perfect!

With a toddler and a newborn, we needed to upgrade to a double stroller that was good on the rough city streets of Chicago. We immediately ruled out a "double wide" stroller because we didn't want to take up the whole sidewalk. So that really limited options to the Sit N Stand, Phil and Ted's duo, and the Graco brand. As an added challenge, my 2.5 year old is already 40 pounds and it was tough to find a stroller seat that would accommodate over that weight limit. We ruled out the Sit N Stand because we didn't think our busy toddler would stand or sit in the back for long. Plus we had the Baby Trend single stroller and the wheels were sometimes a challenge on the uneven city sidewalks. Then we ruled out Phil and Ted's because the toddler addition in the back seemed too low to the ground and the weight limit maxed out at 40 pounds. We figured that our toddler would either capsize the stroller or have it dragging on the ground with his weight. Plus all the complaining that he was sitting in the back. So that left the Graco Quattro Tour Duo stroller. This stroller is almost perfect for our needs. Our toddler sits in the front seat (facing forward) so he can see all the action but still be strapped in. And the front seat weight limit is 50 pounds. Then our Graco Snug Safe carseat snaps into the back, facing backwards toward the walker. The rear seat also folds all the way down so there is the option of putting the baby in lying down instead of using the carseat. The basket under the stroller folds down for easy access; there is also a small removable pouch that goes on the handlebars to put keys/cell phone in. Both seats have snack/cup holders for the kids. The wheels seem sturdy so far and can lock in place if the stroller goes on gravel or rocky surfaces. The stroller folds up fairly compactly into this sort of pod-like form. There is a video on the "big brand toy site" that shows how the stroller folds up. The stroller can also accommodate two Graco car seats at once too (I guess if you had twins). Cons: * The canopy for the front seat just barely covers our toddler's head (he is very tall) but it's removable so easy to fix the problem. * The front seat can't recline at all with an infant seat in the rear so our toddler has to sit up very straight. He doesn't mind but he looks a bit odd sitting perfectly upright. * It's a bit heavy (what double stroller isn't?) but with two kids in the stroller and if it's really windy out, it can be hard to push. In all, not a bad purchase! We purchased from Amazon.com because of the free shipping - it really made a difference in price comparison shopping and the phone customer service is always good too. Just wish UPS was a bit gentler with packages - the stroller arrived a bit dented from transport.

Review by KJ : AWESOME AWESOME STROLLER

I love all Graco products. This stroller steers awesome, has tons of room, and looks great!! I use it with a toddler in the front, car seat in the back...There is tons of room underneath for bags etc... Steers and manouvers like a dream and is easy to fold/unfold!

Review by S. L. Fajardo : Good Graco

I'm expecting baby #4. I had a Graco double with my first two and it was awesome. It wasn't as fancy as this Quattro Tour Duo.Sometimes the bells and whistles aren't needed though.While I appreciate the cup holders (hey, who has too many cup holders?) and I like the different handles (great for short me and taller hubby) don't expect too much from that basket.I really like the idea that the basket could be lowered because, lets face it, the basket on almost EVERY stroller is a pain to get into if you have a reclining baby. But this one lowers to almost flat so things sometimes fall out and it's not the best design for getting it down either. You just kinda push and pull this way and that and down it goes. I'd think they'd figure out a button or dohickey for that :)My older kids are 5,4, and 1 and since my 1 year old outgrew his infant seat already we decided to go ahead and put this together and start using it. Actually the 1 year old and I put it together in about 30 minutes. I've pushed this with the 1 year old in the back and the 4 year old in the front and turning does get trickier with more weight.But that's going to be the case no matter WHICH double you pick. I have a double jogger as well and this is easier to turn than that.I'm in my third trimester and I'm comfortable picking this up and loading it into the back of my Honda Odyssey. That's more than I could say for the Chicco double which I was first inclined to go with because that's what my infant seat and single are. But the Chicco is so much heavier and burdensome... We'd have to stop our trips to the zoo and everywhere I use the stroller until after baby comes because I couldn't be picking that one up on my own right now. I decided to loan my single and infant seat to a friend instead and buy the Graco seat to go with this stroller.The colors are nice and neutral. My 1 year old is all boy and the new baby will be a girl so that was a little important to me. The turquoise is not so blue that a girl wouldn't like it... in fact it's one of my favorite colors.The only things I don't really like are:-The shades have to be in a certain position when you go to fold it or they get caught up. -Once when I was folding down the shade got caught and popped one of the cup holders on the very front out. Thankfully they pop right back in.) -The basket recline is picky but after a few uses you really get used to it. -I wish the seat belts didn't come all the way apart so easily. They get a little lost under the little ones and my kids don't sit still long enough for me to fish all 5 pieces out to do the 5 point. Overall, I've used this for the past couple of months and I've loaded it down with kids and shopping trips and it's done a great job. I'm happy with my purchase.

Review by Brad46 : Fantastic!

We love this stroller! It is very much worth every penny spent on it. It also has so much room for storage and great suspension!
