best option for children close in age, a few drawbacks though ***update***
By morganbaby
ok. i have a 2 and a half year old and a 6 month old. i have a BOB duallie for the beach, parks, and walks, but have been looking at double strollers for stores. when i saw this one i knew it was the best option for now and in a year.
assembly is ok, not difficult but not super easy. after i assembled it, it really seemed like they could have done it for us and just packed it in a bigger box. but, nothing is that easy. the only part i struggled with was the standing platform, you have to snap it on upside down and pull it through. it was just odd.
it is like 95% plastic pieces. i'm guessing they will be durable enough, but the wheels, the seats, the platform all snap on to other plastic pieces. i just hope it lasts for the other children we will be having in the next few years.
**update** ok first chicco carseat do NOT fit in facing you. but you can slide it in sideways. the baby can see you if they turn their head. and it sat deep enough, that i felt comfortable for a quick trip in to the store.
right now my older son rides up front and my baby sit in the "bucket seat". both love their position. my older child gets to see everything and my baby seems comfortable staring at me. if he wants he can see other people to the side or behind me. he also is more willing to sit in the bucket seat for longer than he ever sat in our chicco carseat travel system. i just think he has more room.
it is very difficut to get to the basket with a child in the front seat and the bucket seat attached. so i figured out that i need to put everything in the basket first and then the kids in. it is easier to keep everything loose in the basket, rather than trying to get into a bag when both kids are in.
overall...PROS
assembly simple
drives nicely, can even steer using one hand if needed
folds easily
confortable seats
easy to adjust
overall...CONS
very, very long when folded [we have a new explorer and it has to go in diagonal, no way it would fit in a small trunk]
many, many plastic pieces [will it affect durablity?]
strong chemical smell when taken out of box [it does go away, i'm assuming all the plastic]
ok and for my biggest CON. they have a 5 point harness on front seat and bucket. however, the shoulder straps easily detach from the lap belt, allowing the shoulder pads to fall off when folding. i have almost lost them several times, had i not looked down. if this didn't happen i would probably give this stroller 5 stars.
***i have switched to using it for the baby up front and my almost 3 year old sitting or standing. both love their new option, my 9 month old is content to sit and watch, and my older can hop on to stand or sit.
the shoulder pad issue is just obnoxious, that i took both off and have resolved to it taking a tad longer to attach all 4 disconnected parts to the crotch strap.

would be good with some changes on the front seat
By heatherg13
I have used this alot in the 2 weeks I've had it..I have a tall 2 1/2 year old (37 in)and a 4 week old newborn. I got this one in hopes that my 2 yr old would be able to fit and lay comfortably in the front seat...
Quick overview from my opinion-
*much smaller when opened then any double stroller I have seen, big when folded though (barely fits in the back of our jeep patriot)VERY heavy and although it locks when folded in order to roll it in the folded position you have to go to the other end it will not roll in both directions.
*Front seat is VERY shallow my 3 yr old can hardly keep her butt in it! and she is VERY skinny,also when she lays to take a nap (while baby carrier is in front) we have to basically stuff her head in it to fit and then her hair gets stuck in the velcro from the front seat..
*drives/steers very easily,
* needs another cup holder for adults
* you can not access the parents tray if you are using a infant carrier in front?
All these little thing you think they would have addressed? ANYWAYS..kinda bummed my daughter will not be comfy in it as she still naps in the stroller thats why I got this one and not a normal sit-n-stand..DEFINITLY need to make front seat deeper! AND have more room when front seat is reclined so the child doesn't have to squish their head to the side and get their hair stuck in the velcro! :( don't think this will be good until my daughter doesnt nap anymore and its converted to a sit and stand but that defeats the purpose of purchasing this one!?

Returned this product, too many things we didn't like!
By T. Bailey
Let me start by saying I LOVE Graco products. They have lasted so long, and are made with quality materials. I wanted to love this stroller. My daughters LOVED this stroller. It just didn't work for me. The two main reasons it didn't work were size, and the fact that my husband and I BOTH kicked the board where the child sat when we walked. Here is my opinion on it:
Pros:
*So incredibly easy to steer, even one handed. Just as easy as the BOB double jogger!
*Has a really cool jumpseat that can be removed, so that a baby or little one can face you in the back! Great feature. My daughters LOVED this.
*Stays standing up when you fold it up. Such a nice feature.
*Front tray swivels for easy entrance for the child.
*Comes in some really cute colors, which I LOVE!
*The front seat reclines completely, which is so nice for an infant or a sleeping child. There is still room for the child in the back when the front seat is reclined, which is awesome.
*The two sunshades are great, they really protect both the kids.
*It has a decent size basket!
Cons:
*I wasn't prepared for how HUGE this stroller was. I felt like I was pushing a bus it is so long!
*A MAJOR con, was that my husband and I both kicked the board in the back where the child stands when we walked. We both had to walk leaning forward in order for this to not happen. This is why we returned it.My husband is 6'2" and I am 5'5".
*Another major con is that it is HUGE folded. It barely fit in the back of my Ford Expedition! You can remove the trays and the shades, but who has time to do that with two or more little ones!
* The basket it really only accessible from the top, behind the seats. It is hard to get to things when kids are in it and hard to fit stuff in there.
*The parent tray is pretty silly. The idea is great but doesn't work. The cup holder swivels out but is so shallow that my drinks were always spilling or falling out! The tray barely held my cell phone and was within easy reach of my toddler.
*The brake is huge, and my toddler kept kicking it and accidentally stopping us since it is right under their feet and just one long bar.
Comparisons:
*Graco Room for 2 (we bought this and LOVE IT!). This stroller is great! It isn't kicked when we walk, the basket is accessed from the side and is pretty big, the parent tray is much better, has two cup holders that are deep, and a nice space for a cell phone, it is almost the size of a single stroller folded up,and it feels so much lighter. The only cons are that it doesn't stand when folded, and isn't quite as easy to steer as the ready 2 grow (although easy enough!). It also doesn't come in the cute colors like the ready to grow, but that isn't very important to me. My girls LOVE this stroller too, and so do we.
*Bob double jogging stroller, revolution (older version from 2009)- I have a love hate relationship with this stroller. It is an amazing stroller for jogging or even walking. I love so many things about it! The child seats are really comfortable and can recline flat, there is a peek a boo window on the sunshades to check on the kids, the sunshades are HUGE!, it steers so easily and pushes so easily that you don't notice the weight, the front wheel can either swivel or stay still, it comes in cool color choices. However, the things I don't like about this stroller make me not use it often. It. Is. GIANT! I can hardly lift it in and out of my car! It doesn't latch shut, so it is really hard to lift. There is no parent tray included, and the one you can buy is pretty lame. You have to buy kid trays separate. The stroller and accessories are so expensive!!!!! The basket underneath is really little, suprisingly, considering how giant this stroller is. We have small sidewalks where we live, and if someone is walking towards us, we either have to move to the street or they do. It is really big, did I mention?
*Babytrend sit and stands (I don't own but tried out at the store)- these are nice strollers, that fold pretty small. I only tested them, but my impression was that they are made really cheap. They felt flimsy and the seats were kind of hard! They are not inexpensive either. I would go with the Graco.
*Phil and Ted (don't own it, just tried it)- these things are cool because they really are the size of a single, and are SO incredibly easy to steer. My problem is the weight, the basket size is tiny, there is no parent or child tray, the sunshade isn't huge, and the poor kid in the back is practically riding on the floor and can't see anything. My three and a half year old is pretty small, and sitting in the back seat made her look like a giant! She wasn't comfortable back there!
