We bought a Graco DuoGlider for our twin boys when they were newborns and we have taken it everywhere - sidewalks, indoors, outdoors, dirt, mud, gravel...you name it we've taken the stroller there. It just keeps going and going. When they were babies we just plopped their car seats into it and then they got bigger and they rode in the seats. It is big and relatively heavy but it is easy to open up (have done it many times with at least one baby in my arms). I've just been amazed that it is still functioning almost 3 years later. We've not been easy on it and it nothing has fallen off or broken. Doesn't have lots of bells and whistles but if great price and solid functionality are key...this stroller is for you.

I purchased this stroller for my newborn twins. I like that it has a cup holder, but make sure when you use it that you are on a very smooth surface or have a spill free lid. It does have a convenient storage space for parents. It is smooth to push and turns well for such a big stroller. My biggest complaint is when using the infant carriers. They snap in easily, but the rear carrier always sticks when trying to remove it. I have struggled with the handle being completely stuck and almost lifting the stroller right off the ground (with two babies in it) while wiggling and shaking trying to dislodge the stuck clip. This is particularily frustrating being that when using the infant carriers the seat backs must be reclined, making it impossible to access the basket (which is quite big and very convenient when you can access it). So everytime I need to access my diaper bag I need to remove that sticky rear carrier. I have run into another mother of twins who complained of the very same issues (or I would have thought perhaps my duoglider just had a defect). I do feel however, that once my twins outgrow the carriers I will find this stroller more convenient and easier to use. It is very big and heavy though, and I have not found a car trunk it will fit in yet. Overall, I would not recommend this stroller to someone who needs to put both infant carriers in at a time or for a person who does not own a truck or minivan.

We have a 5 month old and a 21 month old and have had our Duoglider since our second child was born. We had a Quattro Tour with our first, and nothing can compare with that stroller! For a double, this is good with the typical cons that accompany any vehicle made to push around two growing children plus gear. All other reviews I've read are correct in regards to pros/cons. It would be wise to see this stroller in person if you have the chance - it IS NOT a single stroller and you do have to put up with some inconveniences but this is one of the better strollers in it's class. I gave it three stars because the front wheels can't take too much punishment (like steep curbs or uneven pavement) without rattling and skidding. I take this on a walk everyday and my arms have never been stronger since I've been keeping this thing from skidding off the sidewalk.

This is at least the 3rd Graco double stroller I've purchased over the years (we have, B"H, 5 children). This stroller is a great value & it functions well. We are very satisfied with this purchase.

I was *hoping* that this would be like my single MetroLite stroller - turning on a dime, easy to fold, 5-pt harness - but so much for that. However, for a double, this does the trick. I have a 2.5 year-old and a 7-month-old, 30 pounds and 22.5 pounds, respectively. The 7-month-old still rides in the car seat since the stroller lacks the 5-pt harness. I bought two of those extra sunshades from BRU that retro-fit onto the stroller. The basket is incredibly roomy and it also has a tray up top that closes tight (I keep money in there for the ice cream truck). It also has a cup holder, but everytime you hit a curb, it comes flying out. It does not fold well for travel either. I am contemplating getting another stroller for our trip to Disney b/c trying to check this at the gate will be a nightmare!

This is our second tandem double stroller we have purchased. We like just about everything on the stroller. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I would prefer if it had a side step for the back seat and the closing handle is a little weird to get used to. Other then that, it's a nice stroller. We have a 5 yr old, a 2 yr old, and another one on the way, so a double stroller is a necessity for us. Not a bad purchase for the money.

We have loved our DuoGlider for years, it works great, but today for the first time I took it apart to wash the fabric parts. It was a nightmare! After unscrewing many screws I was able to get everything off except for the top back canopy. It is screwed in with something that cannot be removed...there is no way to take off the piece that it is attached too! So, everything else will be clean and look new and the top most noticable part will still be dirty! AHH! That was really frustrating to find and thought other moms might want to know it! It is my only complaint about the stroller though!

I am so excited about this stroller. This is my first review and as the mother of twin 16 week old daughters I am pressed for time. But my initial review of this stroller is excitement! I received a couple used strollers that were not compatible with little babies. So I went on the hunt for something better. I have the Graco Snugride car seats and was excited to find an affordable stroller that would take the seats (I found frames for the seats for about 10 dollars less than I paid for this stroller). I AM FREE! It is difficult to go anywhere alone with them. I live in a beautiful college campus neighborhood and it is spring. Now I can walk, and shop alone. The car seats fit perfectly. I read the review that said the car seat sticks in the rear seat, and it does. But you can reach underneath the car seat easily and press the hook back manually and it will pop loose. The cup holder is not deep enough, but I tossed my water in the basket underneath against my big ole diaper bag and I could reach right in for it. It is super manageable for me by myself, but I am not a small woman. It folds up very easily also. I agree with the review I read that it probably would not fit in a car trunk, unless it's a big car! But I have a mini van so I went for it and it is perfect. I gave it four stars because I have pushed much nicer strollers that felt more solid, but they are hundreds of dollars instead of a hundred dollars. And twins on our one income, we are pinching the pennies. So for the money, I feel this stroller is spot on. We haven't had it long, but for what I need it for, it'll be just fine! If you read this, thanks for your time! Hope it helps! Cheers!
