I love walks with my kids. With my daughter, I had a c-section and was walking along a bike path after just 3 days. It makes me feel so free and alive, so of course I would want to take my kids with me! Of course, this meant that we needed to find a double stroller to fit both my son and our newborn. In short, here were our requirements:

1) Must fit into our Rav4 (mini SUV)
2) Easy fold
3) Easy to use
4) Sturdy
5) Kid-friendly
6) Mom-friendly

Thankfully, the Graco Quattro Tour Duo came to our rescue! We had used the Quattro Tour with our son, and now the double version was just as great.

Our Experience

Putting it together was a snap - literally! It was easy and effortless. I couldn't complain a bit about it! I was able to put it together, by myself, in a little under 10 minutes. That's pretty for someone like me! We've now used it nearly every day and still, more than two years later, are blown away by its possibilities.

The Pros

This stroller really does blow me out of the water. Of course, I didn't expect anything extraordinary. However, I was really impressed by its abilities to let me take my kids on a walk. Infants in the back seat can be reclined all the way down and there are cup holders for everyone - including two for the driver. The stacked seating means that both kids can have a nice view. Also, Braking is easy!

The Cons

It's not the most expensive stroller on the block. While this isn't always a bad thing, sometimes it is. Graco is known for being economical, and you should expect this stroller to be just that. It's nothing glamorous. The wheels started to squeak on day 1. When on a hill, it requires a tremendous amount of energy to keep it going straight. It's not that same off-road durability I expected from the Quattro Tour.

On the other side, I was also blown away by its size. Sure it says it folds 20% smaller that the DuoGlider stroller. Okay so it folds with one hand. That's all great - but it takes up the majority of space in my hatch. I can't even imagine putting it into my husband's GrandAm.

Another thing I don't like is the harness. The first few times you use it, you may find that it's not as easy as that Quattro Tour you were used to. It takes a LOT of practice to get those connections in right!

Overall

You're going to love to Stroller if you just want to have a stroller that works and gets your kids from point A to point B safely. It works with toddlers and infants alike and has many features made for YOU. If you want to spend less than $300 on a double stroller, this is the stroller to buy.
