Cons:

Harness straps: one is five point, one is three, the five point harness is cheaply done and there is no option to use only the three point part of it (some strollers have a detaching ability)it is hard to explain it but for some reason it just doesn't work well and my 6 month old screams as I am strapping him in and once he is in (he does stop screaming)he doesn't seem very secured by the shoulder straps.(the five point is in the "back" seat the three point in the "front" seat)

Seat size: not sure why the "front" seat is so much smaller then the "back" seat, it is still adaquit for my almost four year old (while in the inward facing position, haven;t turned him outward yet, as the whole point I bought this stroller was to face him toward the baby)but it is smaller.

Front Canopy: pointless (except maybe as a small sunshade), it is very small from front to back, when fully open the child is still exposed to wind or rain from pretty much all angles, this was disappointing. We removed ours since it served no useful purpose and sticks up pretty high off the seat back.

Snack Trays: won't hold much, pretty narrow, not much room inbetween the bottom of the tray and the seat itself, would be nice if they swiviled open instead of only detaching, if not for both at least the front seat. We completely took ours off as the baby does not need it and it was a nusense for the three and a half year old as he gets in and out often.

These our our major cons, the ones that we would like to see improved, that really would matter to our family. Insignificent cons such as a poor location of parent tray and small cup holder in parent tray and that the color appeared beigh on all of the pictures on the internet but ours is in fact a light army green, (kind of ugly).

PROS:

Overall Quality: seems to be made very well, sturdy, solid, nice looking. I see this stroller really lasting.

Pushing, Sterring, Turning (and weight): Excellent, Excellent, Excellent. Seriously, I was expecting a lot of dificulty here after reading other reviews and both my husband and I were like, "What's all the fuss about?". I have a six month old (17 lbs), a almost 4 year old (36 lbs) and an 8 year old (52 lbs). They have ALL been in it in every combination imanigable, in each seat possible and except when the 8 year old is in the "front" seat neither one of us have had any trouble. It turns so easily and pushes with no strain. I sterred it with my baby in the back seat and a tray of food in one hand and had NO problem getting to our table. The stroller wieghs about 35 - 40 lbs and pushing it we cannot tell, lifting it the weight is much more noticable but it is a double stroller. I wouldn't let my husband lift it for me as I will be alone most of the time with it and I got it into my mini van fine.

Other pro's: The seats seem to be comfortable, I asked the older two if they were (because I felt them and they actually seemed hard to me) and they were both in total agreence thet they were. The two way is way cool! With the two way position there is still plenty of room for feet. The basket is big and we had no big difficulty accessing it. The wheels are big and "powerful". Seats recline acceptabley well. Assembly was not hard. It folds and open as easy as any single I've had.

Overall: For us the pro's outweighed the cons this time. The pros are the big deals, the cons are like the iceing on the cake (except for the canopy).
I would recommend this stroller to a friend.

(My children are all different ages, I could see a problem with twins because the "front" seat does not recline all of the way and the back seat is much more infant friendly. With twins I would try the Contours Option Tandem Stroller by Kolcraft.

I really researched double strollers and I decided on this one.
And I am so happy with it! I really believe this is the best double stroller available today. (Especially for the price! If you want to spend more than $300.00 you may be able to find a better one. But even if you did spend that much I kind of doubt it would top this stroller.)

Both of the seats recline, both have trays, the foot rests are adjustable so older kids can ride too. And the seats are comfy! Even heavier kids can ride with this one, The seats are really strong and well made.
I like the safety harnesses too, They snap with ease and unlike some of the other ones I've tried, you'd be hard pressed to pinch a child's skin with this one's seat belts. It's a very clever design.

The front seat turns around so the kids can ride face to face or single file. The large storage basket underneath is durable, in fact the entire stroller is very, very durable, the all terrain wheels are fabulous!! I live in Florida and have had to push this bad boy through sand and crushed shell streets, And it handled it fine!
Plus the maneuverability of this stroller is simply amazing!
All the other tandems I tried were like lead sleds, this one could turn on a dime!
And it isn't too heavy, I can lift mine in and out of my car trunk with no problem. and I am not that strong.

PLUS!~!~!~! The best feasture of all,
*****IT CAN FIT IN THE TRUNK OF MY CAR!!!!!!!******

This is the only tandem one I found that folds up flat enough to fit into the trunk of a sedan style car. (I drive a Ford Taurus.)

The only negative thing I can say about this stroller is the parent tray and cup holder aren't that sturdy.

But every thing else is outstanding!!

I really think this stroller should be rated the best tandem stroller available today, I also feel it beats many of the side by sides too.
I tried a ton of different ones before I finally found this one.
Now I'll never buy another brand of stroller.

Way to go Eddie Bauer!~!

We absolutely love this stroller, it's really great. I bought it for my cousin when his family moved out here that way they could go to the mall, walks etc. They find it works very well and the 2yr old loves that her seat can face the 5month old. Very good quality and durable. We have come to call it the cadillac around our house becuase it is quite large, that being said, it still fits well in the back of their hatchback.

This is the most annoying, worthless thing i have ever bought. My 22 month old and newborn weigh a total of 39 pounds and it is IMPOSSIBLE to steer. If you want to push the stroller in a straight line only, then i guess it would work out. I can't believe this is even considered to be a double stroller.

I bought this for my brother's kids....It is a nice product but for some reason the right front wheel gets stuck some times....It is a sturdy stroller. serves the purpose. I like the idea of having the 2 kids face each other...but they like to look forward :)
Over all it is a nice product

Product is excellent for a set of twins or for carrying one child and a diaper bag.

I loved my 1st Eddie Bauer Double stroller, but after 5years and 3 welding jobs it needed to be replaced. I bought this one because I thought it would be the same. I loved the color and the look and the style - but no matter what I did, it would not turn!!!!! I had my 21mo and 7mo in the stroller, so it definately had nothing to do with the weight of the children. I have 4 kids, please take my advise when I say that this stroller is not worth your time and money. I returned it and purchased something different.

This is a nice stroller! It feels like a steal for the price I paid! It has been five years since we have owned a double stroller and boy have they improved over the years!

My 20 month old just loves it! There is lots and lots of room when it come to the basket underneath. We have a two week old and he snuggles in fine. I found all buckles are easy to use. For a double stroller it handels nice, steering a bit tight, but its a joy to have.

lol We might even have to give it name! Buy this stroller and you will be just a thrilled!

My children are two years apart, so I thought a double stroller with so many options would be great. However, this double stroller completely lacked. Its the heaviest, bulkiest stroller I've ever seen. And to make matters worse, the steering was horrible. You must use both hands to steer this, so you can forget talking on the cell. I live in a neighborhood with a lot of gently winding roads. I never thought anything of it with my other stollers, but after taking this one for a stroll I felt like I just spent two hours at the gym working my back and arms. I used it for maybe a month and finally had enough and got a double jogging stroller. I gave this one to a friend who was having her second child. She, too, used this stroller once and had enough. What a total waste of my money.

This stroller was OK..the steering is just horrible. I have a 6 month old and a 17 month old..I have to put the baby in the back because she can't quite sit up by herself, and the front seat doesn't recline very much, so I put my older child in the front, which makes the stroller very front heavy, and almost impossible to steer. My husband usually has to push it because it's that hard. Especially at wal-mart, where they have a very slick floor, I can;t take it in there at all. The canopy tops over the seats are nice..the cup holder for the front seat it small, and the one for the parents won't support a cup. The size is also a minus..it's just so big. I drive a camry, so it fits in the trunk, but it takes me a good 5 minutes or so to make it fit right..and I can't put anything in the trunk with it, so forget shopping! The price was right, so I thought I was getting a good deal..I've had it for 6 months and now have it for sale on craigslist, so I'm shopping for another one now that I don't need a stroller that's baby carrier compatible.
