Stroller Connectors

Stroller Connectors

Transform your two single strollers into a working twin stroller with this set of three stroller connectors. Made of sturdy molded plastic, the 7.5-inch-long connectors are pre-assembled and easy to attach. Four rubber grip pads and two lock tabs hold each of the three connectors securely in place once they have been aligned properly, squeezed together, and "clicked" into a locked position. Releasing the connectors is equally easy--just pinch the lock tabs together and the two-piece connectors will be disengaged. When the connectors are attached they will hold two strollers together, side-by-side, approximately 6 inches apart. Unfortunately, the connectors are only effective with two identical strollers; strollers of different models and sizes cannot be effectively paired up with the connectors. --Chris Burns
Customer Review: Works great . . . if you have the right strollers
These connectors work great if the frame of the strollers is made of circular steel tubing. But the frame of our strollers is oval tubing. As a result, the connectors do not provide a tight fit around the frame, and we ended up with a very loose, wobbly connection. The moment we tried to navigate over anything other than a perfectly smooth tile floor, the connectors popped open from the strain.
Customer Review: Excellent Product for mom with twins
This is a life saver for a spare set of umbrella strollers I keep in my car. When I am out by myself, I keep these in the car, and I have a double stroller when needed. Great product, and much more inexpensive than a double umbrella stroller.

Customer Review: Great stroller so far
It's a pretty good stroller, it rides very nice and light, the swivel tire is great (I had to spray with WD40 when we first got it, but after that it was very smooth) The only thing I would change is the shade which does not protect from the sun very well, unless the sun is right on top of you, I had to get a separate longer shade and attach to it. The basket underneath is pretty roomy and useful. We also take it to the beach loaded up with beach stuff plus the baby and it does great. For the price you couldn't ask for better. I'd definitely recommend it.
Customer Review: Perfect
After browsing through tons of strollers this was that stroller I was looking for a very affordable price.

Customer Review: Very pleased with purchase
I recently purchased The kosmic green kolcraft stroller for my grandaughter. It arrived promptly, was easy to put together. My grandaughter loves to talk walks in it. Plenty of storage. Breaks work well. I would recommend this stroller over the umbrella strollers but it is not a bulky as the regular stollers.
Customer Review: VERY NICE STROLLER / IPOD SPEAKER OKAY
THIS IS A VERY NICE STROLLER AND A GOOD PRICE. I ALSO HAVE A 3WHEEL JOGGER STROLLER THAT IS TO LARGE FOR SHOPPING OR SMALL PLACES, SO I NEEDED A SMALLER STROLLER TOO. MY FIRST SMALL STROLLER WAS THE UMBRELLA STROLLER AND I HATED IT. IT WAS LIKE A DOLL STROLLER. THIS KOLCRAFT IS THE PERFECT SIZE. I LOVE MY BIG JOGGER STROLLER FOR WALKS, BUT THIS KOLCRAFT IS JUST WHAT I NEEDED FOR MY CAR. IM NOT IMPRESSED WITH THE IPOD SPEAKER, IT IS VERY QUIET AND I EVEN HAD MY IPOD VOLUME ON MAX AND I STILL COULDN'T HEAR IT UNLESS I HAD IT UP TO MY EAR. (NOT GOING TO DO THAT) THE IPOD SPEAKER WAS THE ONLY DOWN SIDE. I DID NOT PICK THIS STROLLER FOR THE IPOD SPEAKER, IT WAS ONLY A BONUS, SO IT WAS NOT A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. THE STROLLER WAS EASY TO PUT TOGETHER, I DID MYSELF AND ONLY TOOK ABOUT 5 OR 10 MINUTES. MY DAUGHTER LOVES IT AND WANTS TO BE PUSHED AROUND IN THE HOUSE. IT IS STURDY AND HAS NICE FABRIC, GOOD SIZE BASKET, AND APPEARS TO BE VERY COMFORTABLE. THE SEAT DOES ADJUST SO YOUR CHILD CAN LAY BACK TO NAP, OR SIT UP STRAIGHT. THE COLOR IS PRETTIER IN PERSON. WE ARE VERY HAPPY WITH IT, AND I ACTUALLY RECEIVED IT IN ABOUT 3 DAYS TOTAL, EVEN THOUGH THE FREE SHIPPING OPTION SAID MUCH LONGER. VERY HAPPY WITH IT.

#The Mommy Hook Stroller Hanger - Black

The Mommy Hook Stroller Hanger - Black Perfect For Strollers & Shopping Carts, Fits Virtually Any Stroller Handle
Customer Review: Just a large carabiner
This product is just a large carabiner that you can purchase at the hardware store. Has the capacity of holding a lot but will tip the stroller over if overloaded as shown in picture. Easy for a thief to unhook and take. States it is patent pending, but how can it be patented if the patent is already issued to another company just for a different use?
Customer Review: I love this hook
I bought this hook off of Amazon for under 3 dollars. I use it with my Pods from JJ Cole. It works great when I am just running around and don't want to carry around a huge diaper bag. I hook it onto the stroller, car seat handle, or on my purse. I have to agree with not overloading your stroller, but that has nothing to do with the hook. Great product for a great price.

Quinny Buzz 3 Wheel Stroller, Black

Quinny Buzz 3 Wheel Stroller, Black The Quinny Buzz stroller is immediately recognizable by its superb design and unique automatic fold-out system. Thanks to a specially preformed ergonomic seat, the new Quinny Buzz offers even more comfort.

With its futuristic design, the Quinny Buzz is a real eye-catcher. The use of a revolutionary gas spring technique means that the stroller unfolds itself fully automatically. No more wrestling with the stroller to open it. The Quinny Buzz is made of lightweight matte silver aluminum. The double swivel wheel on the front ensures exceptional maneuverability.

Optimal comfort
The new and improved seat design on the Quinny buzz guarantees optimal comfort. The ergonomic design is child-friendly and the seat is made of soft material.

The front and rear wheel suspension make sure that even the smallest of children lies comfortably in this shock resistant stroller. There is also a choice of three reclining and sitting positions and the option to place the seat in a forward or rear facing position.

The all-weather set included with every Quinny Buzz consists of a sun canopy, rain cover and windscreen, making it the ideal all-season stroller.

Features:

  • Unique and revolutionary folding system (automatic unfolding)
  • Lockable front swivel wheel
  • Forward or rear-facing stroller seat
  • Height adjustable pushbar, adjustable foot and backrest
  • Includes under-basket for extra storage space
  • Ideal travel system in combination with matching Maxi-Cosi car seat
  • For 6 months to 4 years
  • Holds up to 50 lbs.

Customer Review: Clunky and prone to punctures - I wish I hadn't bought this
We thought this looked good and would be a comfortable ride for our little guy, but unfortunately we've not been able to use it for the last SIX weeks because one of the back tires has disintegrated. We used this maybe 30 times over the course of 5 months and had several punctures that are now beyond repair. We've been waiting for over a month for Quinny to send a replacement. Aside from this, the stroller is large and really heavy. There are probably far more useful strollers out there that still look good - I noticed Maxi Cosi has one that also connects to its mico car seat (which we have, and it is great). Avoid the Buzz!
Customer Review: decent but nothing special
This is a 3-star stroller, maybe a 4-star, at under $200.

At the current price, it's a big fat zero, but I have to give it one because it looks neat.

If you want to pay an enormous amt of money for looks, rather than giving the difference to charity or buying books or putting it in your kids' college fund, then go to town.

I was not impressed however ... but like I said, if you've got money to earn and price is immaterial to you, go for it.

Customer Review: Everything I Expected
After going through two or three cheap umbrella strollers with our first child I vowed to get a Maclaren with our second. We first got an Easy Traveler for use with the infant carseat. That was great! Now that he's 1yo and graduated from that carseat, I got the Maclaren "umbrella" stroller for everyday use. It's great. Folds up easily and has its integral latch for staying closed. This latest model (2008?) has a superior latching system, with the shoulder straps integrally connected to the lap belt piece on each side and snaps into the center button surely and securely. This model also has a crossbar on the rear-wheel locks so that when you lock or unlock one wheel it does both, simultaneously. The canopy is functional, and the built-in shoulder strap is very handy. The included rain shield looks great, but I haven't had an occasion to use it yet in sunny California. I added on the "Maclaren Universal Organizer" easily and it's very handy.

Maclaren Universal Organizer - Carbon

I'm fairly tall and I used to kick the wheels on other strollers all the time -- but not this one. The handles are comfortable and the wheels are set forward enough that I don't stumble over them. One drawback -- the forward-set wheels tend to make the stroller tip back when the child is not in it. If you fill up the Universal Organizer or put a drink on the back (in my Valco Universal Cupholder -- great addition!) it tends to tip back easily.

Valco Baby Universal Cup Holder

The tipping notwithstanding, all an all, the perfect stroller for me. I preferred the Volo to the higher-end entries in the Maclaren line because I wanted something light, compact, and very portable. It's a tiny bit bigger and heavier than the cheapo $20 umbrella strollers but it's the perfect happy medium in my opinion.
Customer Review: Great travel stroller
I just bought our second Maclaren Volo after an airline lost our first. It is an excellent lightweight stroller that works very well, folds easily, and is perfect for travel. It is comfortable to push for both my 5'4" self and my 6' tall husband. We also have a Bob Revolution that I use for long walks, going to the park, etc. But the Maclaren Volo is the stroller we grab for shopping trips, going to restaurants, anywhere we may be needing a stroller that is easily folded and stowed away. If I lost this one, I'd buy it again.
