I hate this stroller... I had it for one day and sent it back to the store. The only reason it deserves the required one star is because it is definitely the lightest double stroller (outside of the Peg Aria Twin) that I've ever seen.
br /
br /the reasons I chose this stroller:
br /
br /1. tall handles
br /2. decent room for seating
br /3. five point harnesses
br /4. two handles for good stearing
br /5. shock absorption on all four wheels
br /6. big wheels
br /
br /I bought it to replace my kidco double which made an untimely demise.
br /
br /this is the reasons I returned it.
br /
br /1. handles were so tall it hurt to push this stroller, no matter how I turned them. They were also so wide for a single stroller that it was awkward to hold them.
br /
br /2. steering was a joke... it was worse than the duoglider I had when my boys were small... it was like trying to steer a mac truck, but the worst part was that the wheels would try to bend under the front seat when I went to turn it... so I ended up having to turn it like a fixed wheel pram.
br /
br /3. the basket was useless. on my kidco double and on the rally twin I got to replace this one, the baskets are small, but usable for essentials... this one was totally useless, especially for my diaper bag, which I didn't want hanging on the handles as it would then bang me in the chest and stomach.
br /
br /4. the harnesses... they were horrible to try to fasten and undo. for once, my 4yr old couldn't buckle himself cause the buckles wouldn't fit together easily.
br /
br /5. size... when folded, this thing is huge... it won't fit in my van unless you remove the arm bar... and instead of being able to fit two single strollers in with it, I couldn't even fit my peg p3 in... only my mac single.
br /
br /this is really a horrible stroller. I can't tell you enough how horrible the day I used this was...
br /
br /my back was hurting from having pushed it, which has never happened with any other stroller I've owned.
br /

I purchased this stroller through babies r us and it was the biggest mistake I ever made. First of all the stroller was to tall for me to use I am 5'4" and the handles were at my chest. The handles fit my husband who is 6'0" perfectly. The pros of the stroller were that is was very compact and fit into my SUV. also the handles were nice for my husband to use without slumping down.The stroller also pushed nice it went around corners really well and also fit anywhere. The cons were my son who is two could touch the ground while in it and would stop the stroller, also the front seat was a little narrow so my son had trouble sitting in it comfortably. The back seat was fine for my four month old and he loved it. After using the stroller for about two hours I tried to take it to the nearest Babies R Us to exchange it and they wouldn't take it back because they didn't carry it in store so beware if you buy this stroller and decide that it doesn't work for you be prepared to pay to ship it back through Amazon. I found out a little to late that Babies R Us policy is if it is not sold in their stores that you can not exchange it in store. I sent mine back and am now looking for a new stroller that will work for my boys. Nice Stroller just needs to be fixed in some areas.

A great stroller

We just purchased this stroller when my son was born about 1 month ago. This is a very light stroller that is very easy to steer. It fits my graco infant car seat very nicely. The seats are nice and wide and easily fits my 2 1/2 year old daughter. There are a few things that could use improvement though. The car seat fits nicely in the rear seat but it goes in foward facing. This is only bad beacase the sun shade seems very high and does not seem to protect my son from the sun or wind. It could also use front and rear snack trays and the front seat does not recline at all. With all that said, I would still recommend this stroller. It folds very nice and stores easily in my trunk. Overall, it is a great stroller.

Lightweight and easy to fit in the trunk

Wow...this tandem stroller is incredible. I have never seen a stroller fold so compactly and hold both my kids. My baby's car seat fits in the back and my older son loves the view up front. I looked at lots of strollers...side by side and tandem. This Compass gave me the easy fold and light weight of a side by side with the easy manuverability of a tandem. The adjustable, turning handle lets me (six feet tall) and my wife (5'2")easily adjust for our height difference. I read one reviewer who said that she broke her stroller. I don't know how she could have done that, when it is so easy to fold. She must not have read the instructions!!

I got this stroller as a gift,I have a big almost 2 year old and new baby due in jan.I love this stroller its quiet big but very light folds up easy and can hold your infant car seat a big plus with a toddler and newborn. I took my son out for a ride in it and he loved it its very roomy.I am five ten my husband is six four and this unlike many strollers is a perfect fit for our height.I have a single maclaren which I love and this is as easy to push even though its a double!! the downside of this stroller no raincover, no hood over front passenger.

This stroller is terrible. It fell apart while I was in the airport with my 1-year old twins inside. Some screws popped out and the stroller collapsed while we were waiting in line with our luggage. It was horrible. The company sent me a new one, which was great, but I am afraid to use it. It also is designed poorly. The front seat is too small, even for my small twins. When in it they dangle over the edge of the seat, held in by the harness. My three-year old is very uncomfortable in it, his feet have no where to go and drag the ground. The basket is useless, you cannot get into it when kids are in the seats. Anyway, I had high hopes for this stroller, but was greatly dissappointed. I would not recommend it.

Hated it the second we took it out of the box!!

We ordered this after we looked at the same basic design by Eddie Bauer. But I wanted the blue to match our carrier and since this was on sale we opted for it. Well it was delivered this morning and it is going back tonight!!
br /
br /Compact is NOT a word I would use to describe it! It is huge and the seats are really wide...too wide for a toddler. Plus there is no support under either seat and our toddler made the frotn seat sag and it was uncomfortable for her to sit in. The 5 pt harness is impossible to hook and unhook, it does not fold up or open easily (it is super stiff and take two hands and a foot to accomplish either task), the handles are too high for me (I'm 5'4"), the stearing is a joke and teh basket it useless.
br /
br /All in all, this model stinks!! We are getting our money back adn going to Target for the much nicer, more user friendly and all around better Eddie Bauer!

I ordered this stroller several months ago and was very disappointed. Upon arrival, not only were the wrong instructions included but one of the wheels that were supposed to snap on was defective and would not fit. So after about a month and a half of calling Compass (terrible customer service)they finally shipped me a new wheel. The wheel fit and I tried to push it around for a test ride and was horrified to see that although it rolled forward fine, when I tried to back up the back wheels twisted outwards and would bind so that it would not move! I couldn't believe it, I ended up shipping it back.

I recently purchased this stroller because of it's compact size. I wanted a stroller that wouldn't take up the entire back of my car. Overall it is a great stroller, it compact: am able to get groceries and still have stroller in back, easy to use,. My only complaints are that the basket compartment is tiny - but big enough to put a couple of diapers, wipes, sippy cup, basically the essentials while shopping.

I had bought this stroller feeling very excite because I did not want a bulky one. Well I only had it for less than 9 weeks and the screws on the front sides came apart. Had a big ordeal because babies r us store would not take it because they do not carry this stroller in their stores after two days of speaking to the manufactuer, they don't take returns or have replacement parts!I was very fortunate that amazon is working with my situtation. save yourself the stress do not buy!

This stroller seemed to have it all, but the huge design flaw of making the front seat too shallow is a big problem and one that I couldn't deal with. This problem resulted in my son (2 yrs.) being held in by the 5 part harness (as if he was rock climbing) and at that it wasn't very affective. He would slide down until his feet were dragging on the ground. Within the first walk around the neighborhood we knew this stroller wasn't for us and I was very disappointed because it had all the features I wanted: lightweight, tandem, held my Peg infant carrier for my 2 month old, umbrella style for easy folding/transporting. Oh well!

Love It!!

I love this stroller. It meets almost all of the requirements I wanted in a tandem stroller. It rides and drives awesome. It is lightweight, and folds easily and compact. The only negative is that an infant carrier does not fit in the back seat (I tried, and the carrier is just too big), and the storage bag in very small. I would highly recommend this stroller. We Just love it!!

This is the best stroller ever! I've had so many moms, dads, and even grandmas ask me where I bought it. It's so much lighter than other double strollers, VERY easy to maneuver, AND ROOMY! You can put any car seat if you don't want to purchase the matching one. Also, you can fit in aisles, not like the side-by-side ones. I get compliments in the malls, parks...everywhere. Great buy!

We purchased this stroller and had to return it immediately due to the size of it. It did not fit in the trunk of my 4 door sedan. It states that this stroller is very compact and light weight. I researched all types of strollers and thought this one would work. The length of my trunk is 48 inches long and the stroller didn't fit inside it even with the tires off. We were very disappointed. Do NOT buy this stroller if you have a 4 door sedan. It won't work. We ended up getting a side by side stroller. They are much more compact and light weight compared to the tandem.

I got this stroller as a baby shower gift. When I first saw it it was folded up and it was so huge. It wouldn't even fit in my car! It was very hard to un-fold. Then when I went to go put my 15 month old in the front seat to see how well it was going to work she just about fell out! The seats were too small and to me seeemed dangerous! Without that harness holding her in she'd fall right on to the ground! This stoller is definetly not very pratical for anyone!

I ordered this item because I wanted a double stroller that would fold up smaller than the normal double strollers. It is smaller when it is folded but the handles on the stoller are too high. I am 5'2" and I feel like I am standing in a hole when I tried to push the stroller. You can not adjust the stroller handles to be smaller only make them longer. If you are a taller woman then this is the perfect stroller for you.

I LOVE this stroller! It is the perfect double stroller! It is so light weight and I put it next to my sister's single stroller and it was practially the same size and weighed so much less. Now I take this one whether I have 1 or 2 kids, b/c it it pushes so nice. It fits in any store aisle. And it even pushes wonderfully outside.

A LOVE this Stroller

This is the BEST double stroller available, I have tried so many different double strollers, and this one is by far the best. It is light, easy to push, easy to fold, and it also folds up smaller that other doubles.

This is a big double stroller that takes getting used to. We have owned one for a few years and has worked great for us. NO problems at all and would recommend it for people who aren't weak midgets.

I bought this to replace my Graco Duo Glider. Perhaps the Compass I received was defective- however, it snapped in 2 places 1/2 hour after I put it together while I was folding it up. Strollers should not be capable of snapping at all! Thankfully my children were not in the stroller when this happened.
