I searched high and low for a double stroller that wouldn't break the bank and I have been very happy with my purchase. I have a two-year-old son and a five-month-old daughter and both kids like facing forward. I also like the side-by-side style. I couldn't see myself pushing a "stretch limo" as I've heard it called. It's easy to maneuver, I can fit down most aisles, and it fits in the trunk of my compact car with a full load of groceries. Drawbacks: the canopy could be a bit higher, (my son thinks it's a game when I pull it forward and immediately pushes it back), the seat covers are velcroed in place and tend to slip when I put the kids in, and I need to fold it before it will fit through the front door of the house. I've also taken it on two cross-country plane trips with layovers. Baggage handlers in general aren't very gentle and the front bars come off fairly easily when the stroller is folded. One now has a small rip in it, but I'm lucky it didn't get lost. Overall, I've been happy with it.
Excellent, but not for infants

I bought this for my newborn and my 2-year old daughter. I didn't want to spend $300 for the Zooper or Aria, and this looked perfect.
br /
br /Although there are a lot of things that would have been *nice* additions (individual sun shades, larger sun shades, snack trays, easier to fold as you have to lock all 4 wheels and recline seats first), I didn't mind these things lacking because the price was so good and I'd probably only use it for a year or so anyway.
br /
br /There are a lot of percs too (besides price, it's relatively light, well balanced even when just my 2-year old was in one side, big basket, and stands by itself when folded).
br /
br /It is quite bumpy though. I took it for a walk around the block. It caught every crack in the sidewalk and it was a bit rough. If you're just going to the store though, no problem.
br /
br /But the fact that it does not have a 5-pt harness (it is 3-point) and that it is not compatible with any car seat (it says right on page 2 of manual "NEVER USE AN INFANT CARRIER/CARSEAT WITH THIS STROLLER) makes it unuseable for an infant. If I can't put a car seat in or have a newborn held in with the harness - he'd flop all over. So unfortunately, I'm back to square one. Otherwise, this is a great stroller. If your kids can sit up and don't need a 5-pt harness, and you aren't going on bumpy terrain, then I wouldn't hesitate to get it.

I purchased this stroller for a trip to Disney World. So far, I have used it a half dozen times for my 4 year old and my 2 year old. It is easy to set up and break down. There's lots of room for storage, it's easy to push and handle. The canopy is great, it covers the kids completely, the seats recline to a comfortable position. What is there not to like! Both of my little ones ask to ride in it! The only thing I would add is a bigger bar at the bottom for the kids feet to rest on. Other than that, it is a wonderful product and well worth the money! Kudos to Graco!
Great for Twins!

I researched and test drove nearly every stroller out there for my twins and I ended up purchasing this one and I'm VERY glad I did. The main reason is the storage space and the fact that it's a side by side. If you have twins you know you'll need lots of basket space and this double stroller has the most by a landslide! I can't throw my kids in a shopping cart so I have to shop with my stroller so the space is a must. It easily fits through doorways, lightweight, folds easily and compactly and easily fits in back of van with lots of room to spare. Couple of drawbacks are that the wheels squeaked soon after I got it but I sprayed them down with silicone and that was the end of that. The other issue is that the canopy does not cover the babies. Easy fix for that was purchasing a double stroller shade cover by kiddopotumus. It's called the ray shade - awesome product. Hope this helps in your decision!

When I first bought this stroller, it was much better. Slowly it became much harder to maneuver. The folding mechanism broke and one of the bars on the bottom broke - they were not mishandled! It is also hard to get stuff into the basket, plus the canopies are very flimsy.
Great stroller, great price

I had this stroller for my twins right from the get go. I found it very convenient and easy to handle. It is light, much lighter than most single infant strollers. It has a big basket for when you are shopping. I found it worked for me from when my girls were infants right through to when they were three years old. I had used it on a regular basis to theme parks, on long international journeys, and just everyday grocery trips.
like the stroller - not the seats!

I really like the stroller. It was easy to assemble ,folds down and sets up easily.I like the way it strolls and turns. However, the fabric covering the seats is pretty flimsy. I've only used the stroller 3 times and the seats are worn looking already. The fabric is really thin and looks as if the batting is coming through.
Convenient with a decent price

PROS:
br /
br /I chose this stroller instead of the more expensive ones (maclaren, combi) thinking it had majority good reviews and was significantly cheaper.
br /
br /When I initially got the stroller, I had only one child present to try it out so needless to say, the ride was very smooth and easy to handle. The storage looks amazingly spacious which will be perfect for disney and other amusement parks. I like the capability of one seat lying down and the other sitting up; I just wish there were multiple positions instead of just the two.
br /
br /CONS:
br /It took ~15-20 minutes to assemble the stroller and a hammer is required. I think it took me extra time b/c my toddler kept wanting to help me.
br /
br /When my child climbed into his seat, the pillow seat cover slid off the seat; this will most likely be a frequent annoyance with kids wanting to get in and out of the stroller at i.e. amusement parks. Graco should have known this when testing the product prior to launching it and should have fixed the problem.
br /
br /I'm second guessing myself thinking I should have bought a better quality double stroller (the combi double strollers look stylish but a bad review deterred me away from buying it) but I think it's worth a try. Maybe the sliding of the pillow seat cover won't bother me too much.

I bought this stroller as a gift for my daughter, who has blessed me with 2 grandkids in a span of 16 months. After spending HOURS researching strollers and reading reviews galore, I decided on the Graco.
br /
br /I don't regret that decision at all. The "in-line" strollers have almost no leg room in the back, so the child in the back is constantly kicking the one in front. There is also a distinct vision block. None of that is a problem here.
br /
br /I could easily fold this stroller. Just lift a lever on both sides and it collapses. It's not that heavy, both seats recline and the kids loved it. The baskets for storage are HUGE and the additional compartment on the handle was very handy for cups, cell phone, etc.
br /
br /This stroller performed great and I highly recommend it. The only negative thing was that in some stores it didn't fit through the clothing department very well because the store was so jammed, but I've had that happen with a single stroller, too.
br /
br /All in all, I don't see how a higher priced stroller would have been any better whatsoever.

This product is great and works well for my twin girls. I was worried that it would be too wide to fit through doorways but I have not had any problems at all. Also, this seems to be a pretty durable stroller. My husband "accidentally" ran over it in the garage and it still works! It is definitely worth the little money that we spent on it.

I have two boys, 7 months and a 27 months. This stroller is great because it's side by side so the boys can interact with each other and make the ride more enjoyable. The stroller moves well, is comfortable for the boys, and folds up fairly compactly. The two major downsides for me are the lack of sun shading (the canopy doesn't move forward and doesn't cover much) and the seat covers slide down when my 2 year old gets in. They are attached by velcro so when he jumps in and slides down, the seat often comes with him. These are minor inconveniences though, and overall, we are very satisfied with this purchase. For the price, I don't think there's a better option.
works for me!!

This little stroller worked very well for the purpose of which it was intended, to help my daughter and daughter in law give these girls a walk every day. Both of their mothers have very sturdy single strollers, but the time came when only one of their moms could take them for a walk and this stroller worked well. Thank you. We are happy with this product.
I like it...

Recieved my stroller today, haven't actully used it except in my house, but it seems to turn and everything pretty good. folds easy and flat enough to slide under my bed. I do see where the seat covers slide off easy, but oh well i can live with that. The baskets under seats are very spacious, more than what I was expecting! the parent tray is not all that, it will be good for keys, pacy's and maybe small cups. I wish it had the 5 point harness, but I guess we can do without it since it has the safety bars and anything beats the evenflo I have that I wasted $160 on.
