Quality vs. Functionality May 19, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This model is more posh than some of their others, with very nice canopies for both seats and a large storage area, however it is not as functional as the one that I have at our other home, as this one has only one adult cup holder and when you put the upper canopy back, it covers that space making it impossible to use. When you push it away to reveal the cupholder and storage, it covers the infant area so much that the baby gets upset if he's not asleep.
I also am not crazy about the hard plastic wheels versus the rubber that I have on other models, but the stroller is great quality and easy to setup/fold down with a reasonable weight so it's manageable.
nice stroller May 5, 2008

I just received this stroller a couple days ago - and so far it is working great. While long, it does fit in the bag of my minivan. My husband was even able to unload it from the car and unfold it while holding our infant son. The description from amazon was not very detailed -- this stroller has a 3 OR 5 point harness on both seats, and it has the drop down basket- so that you can have access to the storage while the back seat is down flat. Pretty much it is exactly like the duoglide in Fortune print -- only looks a little nicer and more modern.
 WONDERFUL STROLLER May 1, 2008

I currently own a Laura Ashley "Graco" stroller for my daughter. We paid $300 for it and didnt want to spend that much again. Pregnant with baby two, we need to get another quality stroller. I searched and was going to get a Peg Perego double stroller, but after careful research it had many poor reviews. I was skeptical purchasing this duo glide becuase of its low cost, but I was pleasntly surprised by the quality. It looks great, moves and stores easily. Thanks Graco for putting out a quality product at an affordable cost. It looks better in person!

 A good stroller, with some flaws. April 15, 2008

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.
