I can steer this stroller while its fully loaded with kids and gear, and it turns on a dime. It maneuvers like a dream! It folds differently than the single stroller, which took getting used to, but now I can fold it up and chuck it in my minivan with one hand, all while holding a baby in the other. Awesome. I live in the sunny South, so I love the two canopies.

Note: Amazon's Product Description is inaccurate for this particular model on three points:
1. This stroller does not come with a rear snack tray, it comes with an "arm bar".
2. The rear seat can be all the way up or all the way flat - there is no multi-position recline.
3. There is one parent cup holder, not two.

Since I need the lure of food to keep the kids in the stroller, the lack of a rear snack tray was a major disappointment for me. (The trays can be bought from Graco for $19.99). The two-position recline and single cup holder were less significant problems for me. All in all, I love my new stroller!

I love this stroller! It is very light weight for a double stroller. Pushes and turns very well fully loaded with two kids and bags. Easy to fold up. It is large once folded (but what double stroller isn't?). Great stroller and great price. If you are going to need something for two kids (toddler & baby) or twins. This is a great choice. I can flip open the front cup holder tray and my two year old can climb in by himself. Baby in his carrier fits nicely behind. Good seatbelt straps and shades also.

Just a great stroller!

I like that this stroller fits the infant carseat/carrier we already owned. It's easy to open and close, and I absolutely love the drink holder and lidded storage on the handlebar. The only real con is that the rear seat has only 2 positions- laying down, or sitting bolt upright. For most this won't be a problem, but my 2 year old has special needs and cannot sit up without a great deal of support. I use this stroller to transport my 2 girls when I am traveling alone, as it's easier than having one in a wheelchair and one in a stroller. The problem is I have to have my older daughter laying down, which prevents her from seeing anything as we walk along. Also when the rear seat is laying down, the storage underneath the carriage is inaccessible.
I don't figure most folks who buy this stroller have the same situation as I do, so I am going to say that for 95% of parents, this stroller is a great buy for the money.

Bought for twin granddaughters. Easily assembled. Solid. Cute fabric. Great storage area. Rear seat is higher so second child can see out; and is surprisingly more spacious in rear seat than expected. Wish front seat was a little more enclosed: The tray/bar is not as substantial as I would have thought but should still work out just fine. Easy to fold and unfold. Of course it is a little heavier than a single one would be, but that's to be expected. Can hardly wait to stroll the little angels around in it.

I'm still shopping for a double-stroller and had high hopes for this model. I found it in a store and asked an employee to help make sure that it would fit in my trunk before purchasing it. Unfortunately, this stroller was too big for the rather roomy trunk in my new Nissan Altima. Hoping that maybe the Quattro Tour, which is supposedly 20% smaller when folded will fit, otherwise it may be time to trade in the car for the mommy-van. I can't really speak to the other features of the stroller, but just wanted to share that it does not fit in the trunk of an Altima.

Great product for the price...it does the work. It fits in my Nissan Sentra (without the parent cup holder) and I can lift it by myself. Easy to open. Easy to manuver. The baby car seat goes looking back and my toddler goes looking forward. Both seats can recline, both have cup holders. There is enough room in the baskets, but a little uncomfortable to find stuff, when the kids are in there.

We bought this stroller for our twins and overall I have really liked it. It manuvers better than I had expected. We can snap both car seats in it fast and easy and still have room to put other stuff in the bottom. I think it has good utility for the price. My only complaint is the wheels are kind of small and not terribly durable. Overall it has fit our needs perfectly!

We got this for our newborn and 2 year old, works great and they both like it. We like how the back seat lays flat and the front seat sits up straight. It is big to lug around though.

This is a decent stroller for carting around our little ones, ages 2 years and 5 months. We like having the option of putting either one in the front (the Graco car seat fits in either the front or the back). It took us a while to decide that we even needed a double stroller, but now we're happy we have one. Even if just our little guy needs to sit, we can put the car seat on one seat (great when we have to pull him out of the car when he's sleeping) and move him to the other seat when he wakes up.
We've had some trouble with the front wheels. They squeaked and became warped in the first week. Graco sent us new ones with no problem at all. The new ones are squeak-free, but have warped again. We suspect that they're warping in the truck of the minivan, but if you can't store your stroller in the back of your minivan without problems what good is it? It is summer in Las Vegas, so the heat may be the problem.
We're not absolutely convinced that we'd buy this one again; we'd have to check out the other options carefully.

I bought this stroller before I had my 2nd child. Once she was born, I would put the baby in her SnugRide car seat in the rear and the just-2yr old big sister in the front. This stroller has had LOTS of use. An avid fitness-walker, it's gotten regular use of 3-7 days/week, 4+ miles a day. As my baby grew, she eventually moved from the car seat straight to the stroller (around 5-6 months). When the baby was around a year or so, she began pulling Big Sister's hair (with gusto!), so I switched her to the front seat, which actually made it easier to handle since the heavier child was closer to me and my center-of gravity. I fly alone (just the kids and I) twice yearly to visit my mother in Florida and always take the stroller to gate check, since we always have a lay-over it is much easier to transport the girls and all our carry-on stuff (you know, diaper bag, camera, snacks, drinks, DVD, toys). Also, I typically visit for 2.5-4 weeks, so I like using the stroller for walking while there - and not having to hunch over an umbrella stroller the entire trip! Almost every time we've flown (for at least one of the four legs of the flight) something on the stroller has broken. For example, first one the the bolts broke off the rear canopy (I really should have tried to find some sort of replacment at the hardware store) as well as the front canopy becomming bent where it snaps into the frame - making it hard to attach/detach and it comes apart frequently during moving it in and out of the car now). Then the latch for the bottom basket snapped off and was lost (so I used a bungee cord - which doesn't work great). Then I lost the other bolt for the rear canopy on my most recent flight. I have been disappointed about these losses during flights, especially since I've gate-checked it and would think it gets better care by the airline workers. The stroller is relatively easy to manuveur, it's heavy, especially with my girls getting older, but this seems to be a universal issue with double strollers. The removable snack trays attach pretty easily (just have to use some of your strength). Now that my older girl is 3.5yrs and 43 in tall/34 lbs, she has become hard to fit into the stroller - I must take off the snack try and reattach in order for her to get in. Also, we've kept the stroller outside on the covered porch and the fabric has become VERY moldy - and very hard to clean. Keeping it in a garage or shed may keep it a bit safer from moisture. The axles on the rear wheels are rusty and it squeaks a bit, but some mantainence might mostly clear that up. I definately reccomend this stroller to walkers and those who just want something to take in the car or to the park, etc. Not necessarily for airline travel. Also, not good for bigger/older kids. I'm considering getting the Graco Quattro Tour Duo Stroller soon - holds 10 lbs more weight for ea. seat and looks to accomodate larger kids. A bit more expensive but also appears to be a bit more durable. Besides, my current stroller has gotten 2 years of constant use - not bad for the price.
