 A re-vamped review September 9, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I thought I had originally written a review, but wasn't able to find it to re-vamp so I'm writing a new one. We had bought this prior to our third child being born because my 2 1/2 year old wasn't quite ready to give up the stroller. My main concern was the head room or lack there of for an average sized child. HOWEVER, after three months of use I have found that we don't even notice the lack of head room. I LOVE this stroller and have actually recommended it to some friends. I have used it with both seats installed and with the front seat and the car seat attachment installed. The versatility allows all of my children to be happy. I've even found that when the baby wants to be carried in the sling, my 2 1/2 year old and 5 year old can both ride in the stroller comfortably and there is no fighting. This is priceless, especially when I'm on my own.
I have used this stroller on pavement, in dirt, on grass, pretty much everywhere and it is so easy to maneuver. You do get an extra glut workout in longer grass, but I'm not complaining. It is heavy, but I still have no trouble lifting it into the car (and I'm not very big).
I am so very glad that we did not return this as we had originally planned. I'm hoping that over the next several months that we are as happy with it as we are right now.
 decent size and good design September 1, 2008
the stroller is a little big and heavy since it is built for twin but if you don't mind that, it can be a good stroller. i like the many ways that we can arrange the seats, big and sturdy wheels, strong frame.. However, we wish the manufacturer include the 2nd car seat attachment to the package. I think most of the people who are buying this product have twin babies, it does not make sense to include only one car seat attachment. Plus, there is no way we can buy this car seat out there in the store. No body has the car seat attachment in stock..
Terrific Stroller! August 29, 2008
This stroller rides like a dream--very smooth, easy to maneuver and push. Heavy to lift? Oh yes, if you need to haul it in and out of your car, but removing one or both seats will make it a bit easier to manage. However, the quality is very good and unlike many of the other strollers out there I've "test-driven", for the price, you just can't get a better-made product. I love that this stroller has handles on the sides so that my toddler has a good place to hold on when walking besides me. As I live in Florida, I really appreciate that the sun visor comes down low and adjusts. The storage basket is a decent size too. Love the cup holds and a place to put your keys or cell phone. Also, Kolcraft customer service is very good. My stroller arrived with a piece of plastic that must have snapped off one of the seat belts during shipping. They promptly sent me a replacement belt.
Love my stroller! August 29, 2008

I love this stroller!! My husband was real "iffy" about it when it arrived because it was so large. He quickly put it together and my 2 year old hopped in immediately. She loves it. I have a 3 week old as well and she fits well in the regular seat laid all the way back to stroll around the neighborhood. He car seat- Baby Trend Flex-lock fits great in the carseat attachment. I cannot wait to go shopping with it! It steers great and so easy to be a double stroller. It is also really easy to close and open. I love how simple it is to change the seats to different positions, it is so versitile! It has lots of leg room for both of them! GREAT PLUS when you have a 2 year old that likes to kick her feet! Plus it has tons of storage underneath.
There is a couple of small things they could improve on. One, the stroller is a tad bit on the heavy size, but it does make it feel sturdy. I'm 5'1'' and I have a little trouble lifting it, with the seats attached. I just take them off and sit them in my trunk before closing the stroller up. There also, isn't cupholders on the seats themselves. I would like it better if they did. Overall it is wonderful and affordable!
Perfect for our twins August 21, 2008
If you're looking for a double stroller that will hold two infant car seats, there aren't a lot of options out there. Thankfully, this stroller fits the bill perfectly. To make it work with two infant seats, just buy an additional car seat bracket. (One of the brackets does need to be removed when folding the stroller ... a minor hassle.) We use the Baby Trend Flex-Loc car seats, and they work together well. The colors even work together -- our car seats are "Silverado," and the red trim matches the red on the stroller.
Another plus -- the stroller folds well enough to fit into the trunk of our Honda Accord, with a little room to spare ... I'm able to buy a cart load of groceries and pack everything in the trunk around the stroller. One bonus -- there is enough room in the bottom of the stroller that I can actually do some lighter shopping with just the stroller. (Usually, I pull a grocery cart behind me ... and the stroller steers well enough that this is not a problem, either.) The stroller is heavy when I'm hoisting it into the trunk ... but I'm a short, petite woman, and I am able to manage it.
Our boys are now five months old and weigh about 17 pounds, and when we use the seats that come with the stroller (as opposed to our car seats), the fit for them is good. It seems at this point that they have plenty of room to grow and still fit well in the seats. The construction of the stroller is sturdy.
We love that the seats can be positioned so that the boys face one another, or both face forward, or both face me. Overall, a great purchase!
