Graco Double Duoglider Stroller or Graco Double Duo Quattro Stroller? Can't decide between those 2 strollers. Any thoughts on the differences between the two other than the price tag? Thanks!
Good points. I am getting a side by side jogger for outside so this will mostly be for indoors. I like the look of the quattro better but wasn't sure if I was losing on comfort for the kids because it is a bit smaller than the duoglider? Or if either one of them handle/steer better than the other??
(I have the single graco metro lite with carrier as well. I will use the carrier with the new graco even though it won't match also. I like the metrolite.)
So it sounds like the duoglider then??
And there is a duoglider LX too for 30 more bucks than the regular duoglider? Wonder why?
When we started pruchasing car seats, strollers, cribs etc.. we started our research with a book called "Baby Bargains".
After picking out the "Best" items for us using that book I cross referenced with many consumer reports sites the accuracy of the recommendations from the BB Book and they matched up.
I would suggest picking up the book and starting there.
I agree with others ,but also look at how much space it will take up in your car! We just bought a different stroller because our Graco took up the entire trunk space. We only have a single stroller but we like the bob for many reasons, but it takes up SO much less space than our Grace.
If you're already getting a side-by-side, you may not need the tandem as long as it's narrow enough to fit through most doors. We have the Baby Jogger City Mini and love it. It fits through any single door that's handicapped accessible. (I just used it at Lincoln Park Zoo and because the buildings are so old and not handicapped accessible, I had to use both doors, but that's the exception.) Both seats fully recline and have excellent canopies. Best of all, it's only ~21 lbs and folds pretty flat.
Kolcraft contours options. LOOOOOOVE it.
DITTO! I bought the more expensive heaver one (Quattro) and HATED it. By the time I got my kids in it, it was over 100 lbs (stroller alone was 40). It was very durable and solid once they were in, but too heavy to steer and push comfortably.
Also ask yourself what you will use it most for - inside like stores/outside... if outside, I'd go with a side by side if I had to do it all over again. My sister's older child was 3 and the sit and stand worked really well for getting around the stores and other tight spaces that weren't "long" trips. Good luck.
I have the Quattro and LOVE IT! I watch kids at my house, and this stroller is absolutely perfect! It may be heavier than the Duoglider, but I have had no problems pushing it with 2 boys both weighing around 30 lbs. (in fact, I really don't think it's any harder than pushing my single Graco). I love the fact that it has the few extra niceties, and to be honest, I think it has a better look. Look around though...we were able to find ours on clearance at BabiesRUs (brand new, in the box) for the same amount as the Duoglider! I cannot say enough good things about it! :)
The weight. Check out the weight...and purchase whichever is the lightest!
EDIT TO ADD: I was *very* happy with my Graco Double DuoGlider. I bought it and then used my existing Graco baby carrier from my Graco MetroLite system. They didn't match, but it was the least expensive and lightest option. My kids were always very comfortable and happy in it. The amount of storage underneath cannot be matched -- which is really important when you've got two little ones!
