4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Choice, October 29, 2005

I bought this stroller after returning my Graco Duoglider. The tandems are just way too bulky and heavy. Unfortunately, the side-by-sides are pretty pricey. For the money, the Jeep side-by-side is a good choice. It is lightweight, easy to fold up and doesn't take up much room in my trunk. My sons (2 1/2 years and 3 months old) both ride comfortably in the stroller. A few drawbacks are that there aren't any snack trays for the kids (I purchased the Prince Lionheart accessory kit) and the stroller does seem a bit flimsy. I don't know how durable it's going to be for longterm use (I've only owned it since my youngest was a couple of weeks old). But, I think any stroller that's lightweight is also going to be a bit on the flimsy side. The canopies do have the tendency to get bent when the stroller is being folded but not so bad that they are useless. Overall, this was a great choice for me. It's functional, lightweight, easy to maneuver and comfortable for the kids without breaking the bank as is the case with the Peg Perego and Combi side-by-sides.

1.0 out of 5 stars Piece of junk!, September 22, 2005

I bought this stroller in March of 05, six months ago. Within a couple of months of light to average use, one footrest strap had snapped. I called Kolcraft in July and was told I would receive a replacement part with instructions. I received nothing.

Now the other footrest strap has also broken. This means my kids' feet are either dragging on the ground or kicking the wheels--lots of fun to push. So I called again last week and was told that the original order was never entered into the "system." Whatever. They placed another order for me and asked me to email pictures of the damage, which I did.

I received the replacement straps yesterday, with no installation instructions. I emailed them and got a quick response with instructions: drill out the rivets, buy a screw and locking washer and screw them on. Except I need to buy a special rivet drill bit. And then I get to have a screw sticking out waiting to impale my kids' legs? Unacceptable.

I emailed Kolcraft again and was basically told that it was my problem. Not in so many words, but that's the end result. This stroller is still under warranty, but they won't honor it.

The sun canopies are also substandard. They're too small to block any sun and prevent the stroller from folding properly when attached.

I would not recommend this stroller to anyone!

4.0 out of 5 stars It worked for me!, September 22, 2005

I tried several different double strollers but this particular one and specially for its price worked great for my 2.5 years and 13 months old kids. Yes..it doesnt have it all but I would still recommend it. There is no storage basket but if you hang your diaper bag and other small bags on the handles.. it takes its weight perfectly. The canopy, I would agree with other reviewers, is a piece of crap. But better something than nothing. It folds compactly. Just perfect for the airport and rail stations. Breaks works very well. Reclines well too and both seats are independent of each other. I wont say its all terrain but it can still steer okie on rough roads and hilly areas. Its light-weight and folds and opens easily and can fit into any car's trunk. Dont need a van or Suv to carry it.
I would reccomend it if you can ignore few things here and there. And as always.. return it within 30 days if u dont like it but its definitely worth bringing it home for a trial atleast!
