Customer Review: wonderful double stroller
I spent several weeks researching double strollers before deciding to purchase this one. I have two kids (a five month old girl and an almost 3 year old son), but my son is large for his age (38 lbs and 37.5 inches) and most double strollers we looked at only had a 40 lb weight limit per seat. I wanted to find a stroller that was big enough to accommodate him for at least another year or so, but would also push smoothly with uneven weights in the seats. I also needed a stroller that would fit in our trunk (we have a Honda Civic)--I initially considered the Graco Quattro Tour Duo, because we have the Quattro Tour travel system and love it, but I couldn't fit the thing in my trunk. This stroller has been great--it's relatively easy to push (except, of course, over grass, but that's only to be expected since it wasn't designed for that), pushes fine even with only one child in the stroller, it's relatively easy to set up and fold, and it folds up almost as small as our Chicco umbrella stroller. (Incidentally, the website here says that this product is recommended for 3 months and up, but I checked the Maclaren website and this stroller is okay for newborns. We've used this with our daughter since she was born).

Some cons: as other reviewers have noted, the canopies aren't very large and it would be nice if they would come down farther. We've also found the canopies to be a pain to snap into place, so generally we just put them on without snapping them in. The storage bins aren't very large, but I don't find that I use them all that often, so that hasn't been a problem. It would be nice if you could snap a car seat onto this stroller, so that you could use it with small babies without waking them up as you transfer them to and from the car, but very few lightweight double strollers allow you to do that.

All in all, we've been very happy with this stroller and thought it was a great value for our money.
Customer Review: Perfect Stroller for Those on the Go
I bought this stroller before taking my toddler (2.5) and baby (3 month) to Europe for three weeks, alone. It proved to be great. It is very sturdy, handles with one hand, and folds easily. I really put it to the test going on and off subways and trains and over cobblestone roads. I would recommend it in a heart beat. If you buy it, allow yourself a few days to get used to it and make the adjustments to the straps etc. It is easy to use once you have done it once....but not necessarily easy right out of the box.
