We picked out the Kolcraft tandem stroller when I was pregnant with our second child. Our 2 youngest children are 16 months apart, so we needed something for both of them! I'm not sure what we were thinking, as far as size goes, but when we got it out of the box our first thought was, "This thing is huge!" It barely fits into the trunk of our Buick Century. Good thing it fits or we would've been in trouble! (Hey, wanna strap it to the top of the car?) It's great for outdoors, but not so great for shopping in the mall. I am constantly running into racks of clothes or getting stuck in narrow walkways. It goes without too much pushing effort and I love the fact that you can switch the seats around to face either way. I never used the infant car seat attachment as the seats also recline, so my little baby was fine strapped in with some blankets tucked around her, in the reclining position. It is quite heavy, so be prepared when trying to hoist it into your trunk. It hasn't been as durable as we'd hoped. My husband had to reattache one of the screws that holds the bottom basket and our cup holder also came off as the screws were stripped. Overall, it's been nice, but just very big. We always get lots of comments on it, "Woah, big stroller!" or "Do you like it?" I like to call it the limo version of strollers.
