Graco Quattro Tour Duo Stroller Review

As our son would only be just over two when we found out we were expecting our second child, we went on the hunt for a good double stroller.  After test-driving a few in the store, we decided on the Graco Quattro Tour Duo.

The pros: It's extremely easy is to maneuver, even with two kids and a bunch of stuff in it!  I like the handle design - you can hold it in a close grip for just pushing or a wide grip for easy steering and turns.  There's plenty of storage space in the baskets underneath for diaper bags or shopping.  The back of the main basket drops down for easy loading and unloading.  The front seat holds a child up to 50 pounds, and the back holds a child up to 40 pounds.  The rear seat reclines fully so a child can lay down in it.  You have the option for the front of a bar for snapping on a car-seat or two individual cup-holders.  Both seats have a 5-point harness.  It also folds easily and surprisingly compact for a double stroller.

The cons.  The Quattro Tour Duo is heavy - about 45 pounds.  Though that's not really too bad for just getting it in and out of the car.  The other thing I don't like is that the brake automatically engages when it's folded and I can't disengage it, making it difficult to roll without flipping it upside-down and rolling on the front wheels.  I'd like to see the front seat recline more when there's a car-seat in the rear position.  And the front canopy is pretty small, not offering a whole lot of protection.
