 "Good stroller" | 2009-05-01 |
| - Reviewed By Anonymous |
We went and tried out all kinds of different strollers to replace our Graco Duoglider we currently own and this one was the best. We have a little 2 door Sunfire and it took some work to get the stroller in the trunk, but it did fit with the front wheels off. I can still fit stuff in the trunk if I need to, but I won't be taking the stroller grocery shopping or anything, so that doesn't matter anyway. I like it much better than the original Duoglider because it's shorter, steers much better, has 2 parent cup holders instead of one and there's no tray I have to take off to get to my child in front.
I don't like the fact there's no extendable sunshade like my duoglider has.
Overall this is a wonderful double stroller for the price. |

 "Cool Stroller" | 2009-04-24 |

My original reasons for getting this stroller, I have to admit, were because 1. We were having twins and needed a tandem stroller, 2. We needed a gender-neutral color scheme, and this was about the best we could do in cohesion with the other criteria, and 3. I'm a brand snob and insisted upon Graco.
Despite spending more on this stroller than I really wanted to, I now see it as a worthwhile investment. Not only did it meet all our criteria, but it's just a really cool stroller.
I like the handle bars, which have a Star Wars-esque feel to them, in addition to just being comfortable after you've been pushing a while.
I also like the smoothness of the ride and the easy maneuverability. It is quite agile and can move in a surprisingly tight radius, considering the size of the stroller.
I also like the peek-a-boo sunroofs on the canopies. Although, it is clear plastic and what you see through it is a little muddled, to be honest, you can still get a good idea of your baby's status by looking through them. The one drawback is that sun can get in the eyes of the baby and make an otherwise pleasant Sunday afternoon stroll a loud and obnoxious screamfest. Future models should probably have some sort of flap that you can roll down and strap in place over the clear window, just so you have that option.
The storage space underneath the seating area is pretty immense, which is a bonus and it is scary easy to fold up the whole thing: You just slide te locking lever over with your thumb, twist the handle a little bit and it all collapses in on itself in one motion. It's not too heavy for me, but some, including my wife, may have difficulty heaving it into the back of the SUV. Another drawback is the fact that, even when folded up for storage, this stroller still takes up quite a bit of space. But you've gotto remember that this is a tandem stroller with a lot of features and huge storage space, so you've got to sacrifice something. I personally think it's worth it.
Finally, my favorite feature of all is the fact that I can snap in my two SnugRide32 infant carrier/car seats and go on about my business. However, it's not quite that easy, as it takes a little more effort and creative maneuvering to snap the carrier into place on the stroller, so make sure your infant is strapped in tightly before you try to put him/her into the stroller or take them out before snapping them in. Then again, I may not be doing something right. We'll see as we use it more. Despite the few flaws, I and my wife are very pleased with our Quattro Tour Duo, and so are the twins. |

This stroller works okay. It's great to be able to click our Britax infant carrier right into the stroller. It has tons of room for stuff and drinks, etc. It's also folks up incredibly easy but has a decent weight to it, so lifting properly with your legs is very important. Some concerns we have now that we own it include:
1) Once the carrier is in place, there is not much wiggle room for the older child up front - meaning their seat can't recline back much because of the carrier.
2) Also, when walking on a street with driveways, the stroller has a strong tendency to pull down the driveway. Granted this is pure physics, it doesn't happen as much with or BOB jogger or our other single stroller.
3) The handles are strange and point straight up. This wouldn't be a big deal but does make it harder to control the stroller and leaves both my wife's wrist and mine achy after a long walk.
We got a good deal on this stroller and it works so we'd probably get it again, even with the design flaws. |

| My husband and I bought this stroller just before our trip to Disneyworld because we have a 4 year old and a 6 month old. It was truly a lifesaver in the airport and around the park. It was very easy to steer and push - unlike the tandem Combi stroller I borrowed from a friend before we bought this stroller. I especially love the large basket at the bottom of the stroller along with the many cup holders. The stroller is rather large and we could only fit one other large piece of luggage in the trunk with the stroller. As large as it is, it is still easy to collapse and expand and I'm a small person. My 4 year old rode in the front when we were at Disneyworld and then slept in the back during our wait at the airport - thanks to the design feature that allows the car seat to attach to the front or back of the stroller. Also, there are lots of compartments you can use to store things which is great when you're shopping or at an amusement park. |

| I have to say that I love this stroller. Yes, it is heavy, but it's a double stroller, what do you expect. And, it's a very sturdy stroller. I have 4 children, the oldest being only 4 years old and this was purchased after my 4th child was born. All 4 of my children have ridden in the stroller at one time or another, and I think at some point I've had all 4 in the stroller at one time. Bad day at the zoo and we needed to get out fast! They all love it. It is very easy to steer, easy to fold, has a large basket underneath that holds enough for my crew. Sometimes if you have too much in the basket you have to wiggle the drop down back a little to get it back up (but, I presume that's my fault for overloading the basket). :) The major difference I've noticed between this and the Duo-Glider is the reclining ability of the back seat. With the Duo-Glider, you need to use both hands to lower the seat and it goes from straight up to laying flat, no in between. With this stroller, you can use just one hand to recline the back seat and there are positions in between straight up and flat. That's the main reason I chose this stroller over the Duo-Glider. Anyway, there's my two cents...I have no complaints. |

| Graco thought of everything when they designed this stroller. I have owned several strollers and this is by far my favorite. My kids are 1 and 3 and they both love riding in this stroller. The 3 year old climbs in all by herself and kicks back with her arms on the armrests, just enjoying the view. My 1 year old rides in the back and when she gets tired, I just recline the seat all the way and she goes right to sleep. Each kid has a cupholder and snack holder. It folds like a dream and has a latch to keep it that way. It is pretty big, but worth it for all the other features it has. I would say if you're petite, this may not be the stroller for you. But if you don't mind getting a little bit of a workout lifting and pushing, then this stroller is a dream come true. |
