Graco DuoGlider LX Stroller, Brentwood

Graco DuoGlider LX Stroller in Margo (Baby Product) We purchased the duoglider two years ago for our twin boys. We have taken it everywhere, on car trips, on planes, to Disneyland, to the store, to parks, and more. It has been a pretty good stroller for us overall, but it is definitely starting to show signs of wear and tear. Pros - will comfortably fit your babies/toddlers. No worries there. - Good sun shades - Fairly good storage (see cons) - Easily folded down and unfolded (with the touch of a button) - Accepts car seats - Holds up even with a lot of abuse - Basket can hold a ton of stuff. I've used it for quick grocery trips several times - Can be pushed with one hand, though it is getting harder as it gets older and my children get bigger - A smooth ride; can get over rough terrain fairly easily, without too much bumping Cons - Heavy - Big and cumbersome. I've run into things several times - Can be difficult to push with the car seats or with heavier children - Back seat needs two hands to lower it, which can be difficult with babies/toddlers in your arms - Back seat also only has two positions up or flat - Storage is difficult to get to when the back seat is fully down. There is a latch system to get to your stuff, but it requires stopping and bending down. Which isn't necessarily a ton of work, but when you are running around with two babies it can seem like it - Wheels are getting difficult to turn; probably need some WD-40 - The fabric on the shades faded a lot while it was in the back of our car for a while, which makes it look a little tacky - Can be difficult to turn (all double stroller are, it seems. Can someone fix that and make it affordable?) - Unless you are really careful when folding, the front tray will get scratched up - It is difficult to see the kids in their seats without actually coming around to the side. Overall, it is a good stroller and worth the money. It's fairly sturdy and will hold up, but not forever. I recommend it, but we also have a couple of umbrella strollers and are looking into something that would be better for travel. .

Peg-Perego 2011 Uno Stroller, Java

Peg-Perego 2011 Uno Stroller, Java (Baby Product) So far it is good... I am not sure it is THAT GREAT though.... The handle is not at FIRM as I would have hoped... When pushing seems to have some wiggle to it... Maybe a loose screw? I do love that the seat is wide, and the Wheels are LARGE which I LOVE!! Peg-Perego 2011 Uno Stroller, Java (Baby Product) I bought the 2003 version of this stroller back when I had my son and it was the best thing ever. I had bought (and returned) 5 other strollers before this one, including Bugaboo, Chicco and Aprica..

Britax B-Scene Stroller, Red

Britax B-Scene Stroller, Red (Baby Product) Great product .. only two issue wide wheels sometimes make it hard to get into small locations. Two no cup holder Britax B-Scene Stroller, Red (Baby Product) Not a very easy stroller to conduct, despite the good price. If I knew that, I would have bought another stroller, even more expensive ..

Inglesina 2010 Zippy Stroller, Fiamma

Inglesina 2010 Zippy Stroller (Baby Product) We read all the reviews and were of course impressed. We couldn't try it out because we live a couple hours outside the nearest city and waited till the last minute (before a big trip) to buy the stroller. We had been using the snap and go but realized the baby needed to be able to recline during the trip. This stroller is soo cheaply made!! The handles and the wheels are made of CHEAP plastic, especially the handles! They feel like they will break any second. Also my husband is 6'3" and we were sold on the stroller because were were told it would work for him. Even with the handles extended it's too short. If we hadn't needed a stroller for the trip, we would have definitely returned it. If you care about quality, don't get this stroller! .

Jeep Cherokee Sport Stroller, Shock

Jeep Cherokee Sport Stroller, Shock (Baby Product) Love this stoller! Small, compact, and easy to fold. It is a graduated version of an umbrella stroller. The wheels are not meant for rugged terrain or jogging, but for going in and out of places and walking long distance, they have been fine. My little one sleeps good in it too. Seat easily reclines and I have reclined it after she's fallen asleep and it didn't wake her. The snack tray is a good size for eating off of. The undercarriage is nice for light weight items. I am six foot tall and stroller height is suitable for walking. Great price! Jeep Cherokee Sport Stroller, Impulse (Baby Product) We absolutely love this stroller!! With that being said, I will give you the back story. We like everybody had the stroller car seat travel system when my son was a newborn..

Quinny Zapp 2009/2010 4 Wheel Stroller, Citro

Quinny Zapp 2009/2010 4 Wheel Stroller (Baby Product) This stroller functions well. We like how lightweight it is, yet how solid the construction. It rolls and functions well. It is a breeze to push, even with one hand. It fits perfectly in the trunk. It was confusing when we first started using it, but after reading the instructions this quickly became a breeze to fold. The tipping problem isn't serious--just don't hang anything from the handles. The problem is not when he's in the seat, it's once you get him out of the seat the balance goes away and it's wheel's up pretty quick. But there's a storage bin underneath the seat that's average size. We don't carry a lot of stuff with us so this isn't an issue. The one thing I wish this did was recline. There is no reclining option. But my child loves how comfortable the seat is. When we have it unfolded in the house, he's constantly going over and sitting in it and laughs. We haven't had any problems on flights. We never take our strollers onto the plane anyway. We always complain of those parents who do because any stroller takes up too much room on a plane. Not to mention we just chuckle when they ram their kids into the seats and knees of other passengers as they make way down the super narrow isles. I don't want to stand behind a parent in the isle of a plane while I wait for them to get the kid out, placed into a seat, get all the bag out and up in the bin, then finally fold the stroller and spend a couple minutes trying to force it into a bin. Check it at the door of the plane and carry your kid the 100 or so feet to your seat. Come on, folks. No matter where you are, folks notice the Quinny's bold color, and cool and unique design. We like ours and are happy with the $190 we spent. .

Graco LiteRider Stroller, Lively Dots

Graco LiteRider Stroller (Baby Product) This stroller is convenient because the car seat attaches right on the child's tray, so for your younger infant there is no need to take the baby in and out of the car seat. It also has plenty of space for drinks, snacks, cell phone, or keys. However, I am now looking for a better stroller. This one does not steer well. It is difficult to steer with two hands, and you can forget trying to talk on your cell phone or sip coffee while maneuvering this stroller. The front wheels always seem to be jamming up. The seat with only 2-position recline is not adequate. The harness is made of thin straps that my toddler has discovered how to wriggle almost completely out of. After 21 months of light use this stroller is ready for the trash. We have basically used it for mall shopping, and it's a good thing because I can't imagine trying to steer it on a rough surface. The canopy has ripped along one side and is separating from the body of the stroller. I bought this one because it had lots of coordinating pieces, and I thought I was getting a real bargain at the price. But now I have to purchase another more expensive stroller since this one didn't hold up. .
