Stroller around two children without the bulk of most double strollers. View larger. | A Stroller Built for Two
This versatile stroller has two seats that can be configured for use with a toddler and an infant, or even with twins. The front, forward-facing seat, designed for toddlers up to 50 pounds, gives your child a front-seat view of the action; and it can be adapted to hold a Graco SafeSeat or Graco SnugRide car seat as well for smaller infants. Dual snack/beverage holders keep food and drink close at hand, and a storage cubby beneath the seat offers room for your little one to stash his treasures. The seat has a three-point harness; a canopy keeps the sun and rain away, and a multi-position reclining back makes for a more comfortable ride. The back seat is elevated to give your child a clear view and is designed to accept all Graco SafeSeat and Graco SnugRide Infant Car Seats. Snap your baby's car seat into the stroller for easy, parent-facing transportation until your little one can sit up by herself; use the stroller without the car seat--with your child facing forward--from the time she can sit up (around 6 months of age) until she is up to 40 pounds in weight--so even when your child outgrows the infant car seat, you'll still be using the stroller for a while to come. This back seat includes a three-point harness, a snack tray with two snack/beverage holders and an adjustable, flat-laying reclining seat for easy napping, as well as an adjustable canopy with a peek-a-boo window. Convenient, Easy Operation for Parents
Double strollers can be bulky, making them difficult to push and to load into your car. But the Graco Quattro Tour Duo folds 20-percent smaller than other Graco double strollers to make storage and transport more convenient. Its lightweight construction and unique, ergonomic handles make the stroller easier and safer to maneuver, as do the lockable swivel front wheels with suspension. In addition, easy-to-use, one-touch foot brakes add to the stroller's ease-of-use. And when you're done with your walk, simply push a button to activate the one-handed gravity fold to easily collapse the stroller. The stroller includes a drop-down basket that offers easy access to your gear, even when the back seat is fully reclined; and the parent storage tray includes two convenient cup holders. About Graco
In 1942, Russell Gray and Robert Cone formed Graco Metal Products, in Philadelphia, PA. For 11 years, the firm fabricated machine and car parts for local manufacturers. In 1953, Gray left the firm, leaving Cone as sole owner. Cone decided to manufacture his own line of products, but had trouble coming up with ideas. Enter David Saint, an engineer, tinkerer, and stained glass artisan who worked for Graco. Saint, himself a father of nine, was intrigued when an associate told him how his wife would soothe their tired and cranky baby while swinging in a backyard glider swing. Acting on this inspiration, he went to the drawing board and 18 months of hard work later, the world's first wind-up infant swing, the Graco Swyngomatic, was born. Graco sold millions of Swyngomatics in the coming years, becoming one of the world's leading manufacturers of juvenile products in the process. Today, Graco is a Newell Rubbermaid company, with 1500 associates worldwide. While a half-century has brought many changes to Graco, their dedication and commitment to designing and manufacturing top-quality products remains, and continues on. What's in the Box

 Some smart features and some flaws -- a good stroller with caveats June 24, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Two years ago, I never would have imagined myself any sort of expert on strollers. But two kids -- and a half dozen different strollers (sigh) -- can work wonders. I picked up the Graco Quattro Duo after the birth of my second daughter, namely because I wanted a stroller that could easily fit a car seat (which I prefer over a bassinet), and the Quattro Duo does that nicely. What follows are my thoughts two months in. Please keep in mind that I live in Manhattan and have no intention of ever taking this stroller in a car, so the fold (which is easy, but huge) isn't something I can really talk about. Also, as a city dweller with lots of walking to do, I use a Bugaboo Cameleon and a Maclaren Quest for my single-stroller needs (bless them in-laws), so I've gotten used to their easy maneuverability and may be a bit unduly harsh on the Quattro's. That said, here's what I think:
- Yes, this thing is huge. Other reviewers are correct: The photos don't do this stroller justice. It is longer and larger than it appears in the pictures. I sometimes feel like I need an intercom to communicate with my older daughter up front. And I always feel like I'm pushing an SUV. Between the weight of the stroller, the weight of the kids, and the weight of all the stuff you'll be lugging around in the storage spaces, figure you'll be pushing a good 80 to 100 pounds. The weight and length (it fits, barely, in a typical apartment building elevator) make it a bit difficult to steer, though in fairness, I'm still using the Bugaboo and that thing (another beast of a stroller) steers like a dream. So I could simply be jaded.
- There are a ton of smart design decisions here. For all the buzz about the Bugaboo, the one thing I always disliked about it was the lack of toddler 'amenities' that can come in handy -- stuff like cup holders and extra storage space. The Quattro Duo is a champ in this regard. There are cup holders for the kids, cup holders for the parent (way) in back, a separate storage space for the bigger kid who rides up front (my daughter loves to reach in a grab stuff out of there like Houdini; though she's probably put on an extra five pounds for grabbing all the cookies I've stashed there for our be-good-while-we're-out-and-I'll-give-you-a-snack bribery sessions (sorry Dr. Spock, I am a weak man). There's a little fanny pack for the parent, which itself has a few handy compartments. And the storage space under the seats is huge, though the downside is that you'll find a way to fill it all, and that's just gonna be more stuff to haul around.
-- The car seat fits nicely. I've only used a Graco infant seat, so can't speak to others, but it's plug-and-play simple. This was really my main criteria (I figure I'll probably sell this stroller and buy a more maneverable side-by-side when my younger daughter gets a bit bigger).
-- It's not exactly top-of-the-line construction. The stroller costs about a fourth of my Bugaboo and while it's fair to say you get more bang for the buck with the Graco, no one is going to mistake it for, well, a Bugaboo. It's got a very plastic look (all that plastic can have that effect) and I often wonder if something is bound to break off (in fairness, nothing has -- yet). Consider, for example, the braking system. My Bugaboo has a hand lever you pull that stops the stroller dead. The Graco has a foot lever that's supposed to fit into ridges in the back axle and brake the stroller. Sometimes the fit isn't perfect and you have to keep kicking at it until you get the stroller to stop moving.
-- It's kinda ugly. Sure, I get comments on the stroller, but they usually go to the many amenities (above) or the stroller's sheer length. It won't win any beauty contests and Graco doesn't help by offering a choice of color/pattern combinations that make Elvis's velvet-covered living room look tasteful. You really need to see this stroller in person, if you can, before buying. The platinum model, which looked nice on the Internet, was a real dog (at least to me) in the store. My wife finally opted for the "Galore" pattern, which is offered only by Toys R Us (I think). It won't win any beauty contests, either, but it's tolerable.
- It's reasonably priced. At under $250, this is one of the more affordable double strollers I've seen. I'm sure I'll ultimately trade up to one of the $600 City Elite or Urban Mountain Buggy side-by-side strollers when my younger daughter gets a bit bigger and the Graco's car-seat advantage falls by the wayside -- how else could my wife ever show her face in Tribeca's Starbucks? But frankly, for what I use the Graco for (walks around the neighborhood), it more than earns its keep.
-- I dig the handlebar. The Quattro Tour has the same U-type handle that I love on the Maclaren Quattro (an excellent single-kid umbrella stroller, by the way -- and also about a quarter of the price of a Cameleon). I've read complaints about the handlebar breaking off, but (knock wood) no troubles here so far. The shape definitely helps with the pushing, and it just looks cool. And, let's face it, when you're lugging two crying babies and haven't shaved in a week, you need all the cool you can get.
Hope this helps.

We have a 3 and a half year old son who still likes to be carried everywhere. When we got pregnant with our daughter we started looking for tandem strollers. We took our son with us so he could try them out. We looked at several including standing strollers like the Joovy Caboose. The Joovy seemed too flimsily made and the back seat is too uncomfortable and doesn't lean back.
We also looked at the Kolcraft Contours which is a very sleek looking stroller. We liked that it had many configurations and that it was easy to push and steer. However it was difficult to fold down. You had to take pieces off of it and it still didn't fold that flat.
The Graco DuoGlider was just too small, as was the Evenflo Take Me Too. We wanted something that could fit our toddler son and our new born baby now and grow a little with both of them.
After trying the Quattro in the store along side the other strollers we thought it worked the best, even though it didn't look as neat as the Kolcraft. We took a few days to think about it and research other options. We eventually decided to buy the Quattro.
It certainly is an excellent stroller and the best one we have had, tandem or not. My wife had no problem pushing it around with both kids, even just a couple weeks after a C-section. My son can sit comfortably in front and can even lean back a little and sleep. My daughter sits snuggly in back either in the car seat or without. My son can easily hop on and off the front to take a look at something or just walk around. He always leaves his bear in the front seat when he gets out.
The storage on the bottom is quite large and fits a lot of stuff. The handle bars on the back make great hooks for shopping bags, baby bags, and luggage. Just don't overweight them because when the passenger gets off the front it might fall backwards.
Since my daughter was born 4 months ago we have taken it on several trips. We made sure we had it before a trip to Disney World. It survived Disney World, Sea World in Orland and San Antonio, sidewalks in California, and many trips to the mall and other shopping venues on our travels.
It was especially helpful in the airports. We could load it up with some of our carry-ons and stroll right up to the gate and check it. It made it really easy to get the kids and luggage to the other gate between flights. When one of the ladies at the airport was unloading it at the gate she said it must be the Cadillac of strollers. Although it folds pretty small, it is a little heavy.
My only complaints is that when folded, you have to lock the front wheels and roll it on them to roll it around, or just carry it. Also, the bar that opens the bottom storage came loose one day, but was easy enough to pop back in.
Would certainly recommend it to anyone with at least two kids.
Best Double Stroller!!!! June 13, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is by far the best stroller I have owned. I have done extensive research on double strollers and always came back to the conclusion that this stroller would be the best match for our family. My friend made fun of me because I researched it so much...she's since told me she doesn't want to here anything more about strollers because that's all I talked about. :) I was very hesitant to spend the money for it but I am SO thankful I did. Personally I think this is WELL worth the money.
I love the fact that the front seat doesn't have a bar across the front, which gives my four year old the ease of getting in and out without help. It is a little heavy but DUH it's a big double stroller. If you can get past the bulkiness of it you'll enjoy it a lot. The stearing is great and I have a heavy 36 pound four year old that sits in the front seat and I never have problems pushing or turning corners with it. The canopy for the back seat is HUGE. I love the fact that it covers my baby completely.
The only cons I have are #1 the front canopy is too short for my 4 year old...but then again he could care less, so I just removed it. Number 2 the basket underneath is OKAY. For being such a big stroller I guess I expected the basket to be really big. The only way you can get big things in and out is to lower the basket which can kind of be a pain too. That's pretty much it. I know some people would complain about the size and even when it's folded the size is still fairly big, but I knew that I wasn't buying a small stroller so for me it's not a big deal. I have a Honda Odyssey and it fits perfectly in the trunk. It does take up a lot of the space but I don't carry anything else in my trunk anyway.
Overall my opinion is this is by FAR the best double stroller on the market. I love the color...makes it look pretty trendy and best of all it meets all of our needs and much more!!!
Awesome product June 8, 2008

I have looked around for many double strollers reading all the reviews, checking some of them out from friends or stores. I have had a Graco for my single stroller and absolutely loved it! The storage in it is amazing. I have love this stroller. Everyone says its very heavy from the other reviews but for a double stroller its pretty much how heavy you expect it. I have a three year old about 30 pounds and a 10 month old about 15 pounds and the it stears awesome, has amazing storage and so many cup holders. It truely is a great stroller. My girlfriend saw it and folded up had no idea that it was even a double because it folds up as big as our singles. The steering on it is better then any other double stroller out there plus the back folding down is great for my younger one who needs his naps on long days to the zoo!
My Review of the Graco Quattro Tour Duo Stroller May 28, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
They finally did it! They made a double stroller that works, looks great, and can be steered by someone other then a bodybuilder. We have had this stroller for several months (purchased in late 2007). It's still going and looks great.
Pros:
Steering is easy!
Folds down small enough to fit in my VW Jetta trunk (with rear seats down)
Double canopy is great for sun protection
Glides with ease
Cons:
Heavy, very heavy.
