Author's Review
I registered for this tandem stroller when I found out I was having twins, our first and only children. We received it as a gift, along with the two matching infant GRACO car seats.
We used this stroller every time we went to our local mall and during most of our regular grocery and department store outings. We used it with the car seats at first and loved it. They were easy to get in and out of the stroller after a couple times of practice.
We are still using this stroller with our now 2-year-old twins. I love the pattern on this stroller, nice neutral color that, in my opinion, does not show dirt and mess much at all. In fact, I've only cleaned it once using a spray foam upholstery cleaner. This is the way I recommend you clean it also. Some of the cloth is impossible to remove. The foam upholstery cleaner worked VERY well and cleaned off all the spots.
What I love:
1-The cup holder and compartment on top for adults. I use the compartment to put my keys in so they are easily accessible when I return to my car.
2-I could not live without the HUGE basket underneath the stroller. I read another review that stated the basket was useless. However, I COMPLETELY disagree. I use this basket to put all of my packages and store bags, diaper bag, and my purse in while I'm shopping at our local mall.
3-The stroller does fold up quite easily and doesn't take up that much room considering how large it is. We have an SUV with 3 rows of seats and a small space between the 3rd row and the back hatch. This stroller even fits back there when turned up on its side lengthwise.
4-Very cute, neutral color good for boys and/or girls, or both as in my case! Easy to coordinate with this color!
5-VERY easy to maneuver in crowded stores and down tight aisles. I don't see how you could get around this easily in a side-by-side stroller.
What I don't like:
1-The stroller is somewhat heavy when trying to put the folded stroller into your trunk. This is just a drawback of probably ANY double stroller, so it is just one to deal with!
2-I don't like the fact that the fabrics can't be removed to be cleaned in the washing machine. Some of the fabric pieces even have a cardboard insert and I could not find any way to get the off. I do use the foam upholstery cleaner, which worked VERY well, just wasn't as easy as throwing it in the washing machine.
3-The back seat doesn't recline. It either sits straight up or is flat back (for the car seat to be used with it). The front seat reclines. I do wish the back had another position.
