Friggin love this stroller. I bought it to take my girls to Disney World. I know there are more compact strollers but I take this one on walks in the park behind my house regularly and it feels so convenient and easy to maneuver which is a perk becuase I bought it as a destination stroller. Let me explain. This tbing has huge storage and I can fit one of the seats in the storage basket below. If midday my older daughter needs a nap I can pop the seat in or if she is getting antsy I can let her sit on the bench or stand and ride. Its big enough both my girls can take a nap in it at a time and compact enough that its also my regular walking stroller. I first i didn't like that there wasn't a tray but I realized how bulky it would make it while folded. There are 5 friggin cup holders on this gem. I was going over this and cuty select and chose this because the reviews were better on amazon. So glad i did! I've since tested out a city select and while it is more compact which would be good for every day exercising or running errands (i don't live a life where i pack up a double stroller to run errands so i can't relate) then i get why some prefer city select, but id buy this over that again and again. If you want a big stroller to house kids comfortable and also be super flexible but be as easy as a double stroller can possibly be to get around then go for this bad boy. Strongly recommend.

As I'm sure you are, I found myself completely lost on what double stroller would work best for me. I wanted to stick with Graco because I have a Graco Click Connect carseat (and I didn't want to go with another brand then have to buy a special adapter). I would consider this double stroller to be the most premium option Graco offers but at first, i was scared away from it due to all the negative reviews about how loud it was, even when on the sidewalk. After receiving the product and trying it myself, I can honestly say, this is a MASSIVE exaggeration. It is perhaps a slight octave above "whisper quiet" but not loud by any means, so don't let those reviews scare you away.All in all, I LOVE this stroller. There are a few areas it could've been improved upon, but for the price, I can't complain (prior to purchasing this, I was primarily looking at the Babyjogger City Select).Pros:-My son is currently 18 months and in the 84th percentile for height/ weight. He fits no problem and has plenty of room to grow- Generous space between the two seats, unlike the City Select which has almost no leg room for the back seat.- Center divider bar between the two seats. Has 2 extra cup holders but i love that it primarily serves as a barrier to keep the child sitting in the rear seat from kicking the back of the front seat-I loaded it down with my toddler (27 lbs) and a carseat plus 10 lb medicine ball and took it for a test run. I'm a small woman and the push was extremely easy plus it turns on a dime. I was also able to use the standing platform to step on and pop the front end of the stroller up onto a curb with ease despite being loaded down.- Large storage basket underneath- when both seats are front facing, the back one reclines almost flat (about 85%) and the front reclines about (70%)Cons:-no parent console, just a cup holder.- Difficult to access the storage basket from the back (you really have to bend over to see what your grabbing) but there's the large opening between the 2 seats if you don't mind reaching past a kid's legs.- the bumper bar that is included with both seats only has a cup holder, no snack tray.- the sun shades are ok but one more extender panel would've been nice- the peekaboo shades on either canopy do not have velcro or magnets to secure them shut.All in all, I think Graco made the decision to cut corners in a few areas to keep the stroller in the affordable price range (unlike the $800 City Select which by comparison seems a lot more bare bones). None of my cons bothered me enough to be deal breakers and overall, I am very pleased with my purchase.*FYI, I was not paid for this review. I found my search for a double stroller to be extremely frustrating so I'm hoping this honest review helps someone like me!

I recently got this stroller as we have the single seated version which we absolutely love. So it seemed a pretty easy choice when I saw our current stroller in double and baby #2 on the way. The double seater is almost as awesome. It's missing a couple of the features the single seated version has, but for very obvious functional reasons.PROS - My all time favorite feature of this stroller (in both single and double versions) is the way you can very easily swap the seats both position and the direction they're facing. When my first son was fairly small it was nice to be able to go for a walk with him facing me, but as he got older it was good to be able to swap him around to see the world. My second favorite feature would be the sizable storage underneath. Kids = a lot of crap and my husband and I were very happy with how much we could stuff in this sucker. Also I found the harness to be nice and secure but easy to use. The stroller itself maneuvers very easily, the second set of wheels under the bench seat definitely help with that. Being that a double stroller is so much larger it's nice that this stroller has a healthy turning radius. Also, this was very easy to assemble. It arrived right as I was sitting my son down for lunch and I had it put together before he was done (about 20 minutes). The instructions weren't overly complicated and the steps were quick and easy. I am not a very handy person so the fact that I didn't have to ask my husband for help really made my day. Not once did I get frustrated or feel the need to smash something because it wasn't doing what the book said it's supposed to do.CONS - And I use this term loosely because I don't have any real complaints about this stroller, more just things that would have been nice.I also purchased the Graco SnugRide infant car seat because it's compatible with this type of stroller. The car seat itself is awesome and it clicks in and out of the potential positions easily, with the exception of one spot. When I put the car seat facing out in the first seat spot (most exterior) it was kind of tricky to reach the release on the car seat to get it back out because of the bar in the center of the stroller (above the storage compartment). This bar cannot be removed, again for obvious reasons - it clearly helps hold the frame together securely, and it certainly wasn't impossible to get the car seat back out, it was just kind of tricky. Maybe this won't be as much of an issue with more practice. My only other complaint (using that word lightly) would have to do with the seats themselves. While they are lightweight and easy to move they aren't as awesome as the single seated version. One of my favorite things about the single seater is that the foot rest had multiple positions and when it was fully raised it kind of enclosed the seat, almost like a bassinet. Not only did this help contain the things that otherwise would have dropped on the ground but it was nice to kind of close my little guy up in there with a blanket if we were walking on a breezy day. The other thing about the seat is the recline feature. With the double stroller it's either fully upright or fully reclined and when it is reclined the child cannot lay flat. This is not a huge deal, but again I very much enjoyed that the single stroller version not only had multiple reclining options, but my child could lay flat. In fact with the foot rest fully up and the seat fully reclined it practically made a bassinet, which was super cool and definitely came in handy. Would it have been awesome if these seats could do the same as their single stroller counterpart? Yes. Is it a deal breaker that they cannot? Heck no. It's very obvious that to make the double stroller functional these features had to be compromised. Not a big deal, and in fact it probably contributed to what I think is a very reasonable price for a double stroller.Overall, I am super super happy with this stroller. It was easy to assemble, handles very well, and I love that the seating is so versatile. Not only is it a great buy but the price point is crazy reasonable. I would buy this again in a heartbeat.
