Its doesnt turn very easily, its heavy and it doesnt "travel" while folded so its hard to move unless open. its strong and both kids have plenty of room.

This was the second double stroller I bought. First one almost $400, and "lightweight", which it was. It was a side by side and "able to fit through doorways", which it didn't. Shopping was horrible, where I often would call my husband sweating and crying after pushing this top of the line stroller for a few hours. After selling it I bought this one in red. It was heaven from the moment I pushed it in the store. I have a 4 year old and 1 year old, which is still easy and smooth to push with both. Sure my older one is to long, but still is comfortable. Glides nicely through crowds at Disneyland and crowded stores. Enough storage for shopping, and especially when I only have 1 seat in. I love that the seats can be taken out and adjusted. No matter where I go people are constantly asking me about it. And I have to say, one of the nicest looking strollers on the market. Can't talk about it enough. LOVE IT!!!!

We have twins and bought the blue (new) stoller. The problem with it, is that you only get 1 Infant Car Seat attachment. When you have twins and they asleep in their car seats, you really want to take both seats out with the kids and mount them on the stroller. To do this, you need 2 Infant Car Seat attachments.We checked with BabiesRUs and Kolcraft, and neighter of them sell the blue attachments. Kolcraft do sells a red version of the older model, but I am not sure who would appreciate a red attachment on a blue stroller.I love the stroller, but please make sure the extra parts are available before selling it.

When I bought this stroller months ago, no reviews were done. I don't know why I even read reviews when I need to just go and test things out for myself. I'm glad I did. I had a 14 mos old and was expecting a newborn. I didn't want a side by side double stroller, but this one looked liked the Suburban of strollers. The price was decent, and it worked with my newborn car seat. I loved that the seats tilted back for my eldest to snooze. Yes its heavy but what do you expect with a double? One thing this stroller has is a smooth ride and easy maneuvering for being so big. I absolutely love this stroller, and although all my friends choose sit n stands for the size & weight. They all say mine is easier to steer. I'm so happy with my decision to purchase this. But recommend trying it out first.

Love this stroller. The only draw back is getting it in and out of the car because you have to take one of the seats off.. but its worth it. The mobility is great. Easy to get around tight spaces. And the big wheels make it easier to go through grass, gravel, and any other terrain. I also like the options of being able to move the seats from frontwards to backwards, or it can hold infant car seats... Its purely wonderful!

We love the stroller! My husband and I would go for test runs over and over again in the store. The stroller was hard at first but after acouple of loading and unloading we find it very easy. I love that the babys can lay flat, have the baby in the front or back facing me or not. Cup holders are not important to us for the kids, since we use the cup leash. The stroller has soooo much space and is NOT hard to use. Over all WE LOVE IT!

I am a stay at home mother of 3 boys. The oldest 3, and 1 year old twins. We bought this stroller when the twins were only a few days old. It did go together very easily, and yes it is very heavy, but there aren't many double strollers that aren't. It glides along on streets, and is a dream in stores. The basket underneath is HUGE ~I have to remove one of the seats to put the diaper bag (back pack) in. It did come with 2 car seat attachments that would take both of our carseats (different brands) so that was the MAIN reason we bought it.

Now for what I don't like about it...

The front wheels have never been real sturdy, they tend to "bow" underneath and make the stroller unsteady. They have collapsed on more than one occasion. I never have put my oldest child in it, just the twins who are just now 21, and 20lbs, so I know that the weight is not the problem. Screws have also come out and have to be tightened repeatedly. One of the screws that hold the handle on came out on our last walk, and I have yet to find it, so now when I have to turn I have to turn using the FRONT of the stroller. It came with 2 "handles" for older children walk along, and after just one or two uses, part of it tore off of the screw. Still functional, but for the money, I figured it would last a bit longer. The parent tray is wonderful, but there are no cup/snack tray for the kids. I did buy the tethers that keep the cups from hitting the ground, but when the boys would throw the cup over, the one in the back managed to crack his brother in the back of his head.

The theory of being able to switch the seats in all the different positions was actually the deciding factor for my husband and I in getting this stroller. When the children face each other, neither have leg room. When they are facing opposite directions, they have to sit almost straight up because there is no room to recline the seats even a little. When they are facing the same direction, the child in the back has NO leg room even with the child in front sitting straight up.

I am keeping this stroller as a back up, but I am going to get a double umbrella stroller. For the money, there are other strollers with better features.

I have this stroller and I do love it. It's a bit bulky and heavy but once you've put the seats on a few times, they slide right on (and off). I have read all of the former comments and I really agree with about all of them; it's heavier (it is a double) but it's GREAT for rugged terrain (like the county fair!). It's also wonderful with it's maneuverability. I can push and stear with one hand.

I will say, I am PROFOUNDLY dissapointed with the foot rest on each seat; they hardly accomodate a child over 18 months. My 22 month old rates in the 50th percentile for height and weight and his legs are longer than the foot rest. He looks uncomfortable; almost like he's outgrown the stroller already. You can NOT adjust the foot rest, so be weary if you have a tall toddler. His feet are within 4 inches from touching the ground, so we have to regularly recline him a little.

Other than that, it's a great stroller for the price.

This was the best stroller I found. As a parent of triplets, we did not want a triple stroller since they are so big. It is a bit heavy, but nothing else to complain about.

By myself I can hardly pick this stroller up and its a struggle to get it to fit into my trunk. Once its set up and I put the seats on its very long and bulky and not easy to use in a place like the mall.
