Hi,
I am needing to buy a double stroller as I'm due with #4 in September and my youngest is only 14 months old. We currently have a Graco, and love it except for that fact that sometimes it won't close when it's time to put it back in the trunk. I've read some reviews about the Graco doubles and some have had the same problems. So, I'm looking for advice on other brands of double strollers, especially ones that I can still use the Graco Snugride carseat. Thanks!
Thanks Ladies for all the advice. Yesterday we purchased the Graco DuoGlider. It was the most affordable. We tested it at our local Babies R Us, and it seems okay. Although I am keeping the box in case I have the same problems with it that we have with our single Graco (not closing sometimes). It is light enough for me to put in and out of the trunk, which is very important as I have a heart condition.
Thanks again,
Ali
We have the Graco Quattro Tour Duo. I like the stroller. It is heavy, but it's so easy to turn etc. What do you expect from a double troller though. It has great storage space. Good luck with it.
I wanted the "SUV" type but couldn't fit it into our sedan. Si instead of buying two we finally decided on a Baby Jogger-City Mini. It weighs only 26lbs. and folds so nicely and fits into our car.
We have a BOB and I adore it. It's big but the easiest double you'll ever push around. You can get the carseat adapter for it but I never did, it reclines enough to not use a carseat. It's the best $380 I ever spent (go ebay!).
We went with an "SUV" double (Phil & Ted's) since we live in the city but we almost bought a Maclaren. People love them, they are extremely light weight and fold up so easily. Our babies are 15 months apart and think this would have been a great stroller but in the end, because we spend much more time walking (sometimes in lots of snow) and rarely drive we bought the Phil and Teds. Hope this helps a bit.
I prefer the SUV styles (Valco Runabout & Phil & Ted's) that have jumpseat options rather than a straight on double. I had the Phil & Ted's for my first two and now that I'm having my third I have the Valco Runabout. I can actually fit 3 kids on the Valco with it being no bigger than a single stroller. The jumpseat can be used for a toddler and I have a hitch-hiker off the back that my 4-year old can stand on when he gets tired. When I just have one child, it's just a single. Both have attachments that will fit the Graco infant seats, but you can't use the Valco's jumpseat with the infant attachment (I use a European carrier, so I don't have the extra attachment.)
I own a stroller fitness business with hundreds of participants, so I've seen just about every stroller out there. We do have many moms who have the Graco and it seems like a beast. All of the moms who have it have to have an SUV or Mini-Van to carry it. The MacLaren is a great size, but not as heavy-duty.

I've seen this one out & about & fell in love with it above all others!
