 - Nice optionsI would not reccomend this product to anyone with a small car. It is very large and heavy, but it drives like a cadiliac and has many options. another thing that it does not have, that supprised me was cupholders for each child. It does have 2 for the parents though. All in all I am pleased. Rating:  - Great Grandaughter's StrollerThis was a gift to our grandaughter for the upcoming birth of our second great grandaughter. She said this stroller is the Rolls Royce of all strollers she has seen or owned. Rating: - Limo of strollers... good and badWe bought this stroller online before any physical stores carried it regularly to try out, so we went by other reviews. In the 6 months we've had this stroller we have used it maybe a handful of times for our 2 year od and our now 6 month old. I would have liked to have used it more, but the thing is so big and unweildy that it's just generally moreffort to get it in and out of the minivan than it's worth. That being said, there are some nice features. The seating flexibility is great, the ride is airly smooth, the big basket underneath is fantastic, having cup holders is cool, but we've had a couple of accidents with stuff easily bouncing out of the shallow cupholders. Some of the issues we've had with it are: hate having to take a seat off to fold it up, hate having to struggle to get it in and out of the car, our two and a bit year old is now getting too tall (her head brushes against the sunshade, and she is in the 50th percentile for height), feels SOOOOO long when pushing it, the wheels come off sometimes when loading it in and out of the car, and, did I mention, it's really heavy! I like it better than the strollers that make it impossible for the child in back to see, but I guess that comes at a price! We have now bought a Joovy Groove 2 and prefer it hugely, although it doesn't offer the carseat attachment. Anyway, I think there are better, lighter options out there if you don't absolutely NEED the flexible seating. Rating: - Terrific for twins!I love this stroller. I have 4 month old twins so we purchased an additional car seat attachment (it only comes with one car seat attachment, but two do work together). It holds our two Grace Snug Ride car seats perfectly. We have taken this stroller hiking, through a farm, and to the mall and it handles all the terrain great. I love the ease of the steering (which is why I preferred this one over the Graco Duo Glider). Also, because you can take off the two included seats to use the car seat attachments, it makes it a very stream lined and lightweight stroller. The seats do not remove on the Duo Glider so it's a heavy contraption when put together. I also love the modern look of this stroller. Everyone loves it and assumes it is an expensive European model. We have a compact car and the folded stroller actually fits in the trunk so it is great for that aspect. Over all, it is a great stroller and we are so happy we have it for our twins! Rating:  - Excellent Versatility!We just recently purchased this stroller on a whim because we fell in love with it in the store while looking at single umbrella strollers. Before purchasing this stroller we used a Graco Duoglide stroller. Here is what made us purchase this stroller. Versatility -Both seats are removable with the push of a button. This gives the stroller four seating options when using both seats. -Also includes a infant carrier bar as another option. -The seats are very adjustable. The foot rest moves from all the way back to flat/level with the seat. -The hand rest/bar for the seats has pivot joints on both ends allowing you to store it flat, undo one side or remove it easily without it sticking straight up in the air or in the way. Storage - The storage bin is huge and runs the entire length of the stroller. -It has two cup holders and a small covered compartment attached to the handle bar. -The straps used for the infant carrier bar are safely hidden inside little bags attached to the storage bin. Structure -This stroller is HEAVY! It weighs 46 pounds and is a bear to haul in and out of the car. This is my only complaint but it is a very minor one. -The frame is solid and can handle any terrain. -It has hard plastic wheels instead of pneumatic wheels. At first we were disappointed but then we remembered our jogging stroller constantly getting flat tires and we thought this would probably happen to us all the time. So the solid tires are actually a plus! -Handle bar has a nice foam grip and is a good height even for tall people. I always used to get sore wrists when pushing our old Graco, but I have yet to experience that with this stroller. -The front tires snap on and off quite easily for even better storage capabilities. -Folding capabilities are a little bit challenging as it is a big stroller and it folds flattest when you remove all of the seats. Still the frame and the separate seats fill up the back of my minivan. Great as a single stroller - By removing the seat closest to the handle this stroller becomes a fantastic single! -Lot of storage since the bottom bin is completely open and available for holding everything. Overall Thoughts We love the stroller even though it is so HEAVY and big. I use it more as a single than a double right now but it works great as a double too! Hands down the best stroller we have ever owned.
