Contours by Kolcraft - Options Tandem Stroller, Ruby 4.4 5 92 96
A Great Product After reading many online reviews, my husband and I purchased this stroller when we had our second child and we couldn't be happier. It really is great and my daughters (now 2 1/2 and 10 months) love it. I usually don't have them facing one another, but the few times I did, they got such a kick out of it and enjoyed snuggling under the same blanket. Of course, there have been days when the two-year old wanted nothing to do with her sister, so we simply lifted her seat up and turned it around. The seats and car seat adapter both pop in and out easily. It only takes seconds to do and I prefer this feature because it makes it easier to fold the stroller up and store it.The main reason why we bought this stroller was because it was compatible with the car seat we already owned. The car seat slid right into the adapter without having to be clicked into place. This also made it easy to simply lift the car seat out of the stroller and place it back into the car one-handed. (The adapter does contain straps that can be buckled around the top of the car seat, but they didn't fit around mine, so I just left them in the pouch. The seat always felt very secure to me without them and it's something I never thought about twice.)This stroller is a good value. It is sturdy and unlike an umbrella or side-by-side stroller, can be easily steered with one hand. I think I recall a reviewer writing that it moves/steers like butter and that is so true. I also love that it can hold a drink and other items on the handle. The basket below is HUGE and easily accessible--another thing I was not used to with my single stroller. One other simple, but useful feature is the set of handles on both sides of the stroller. My toddler likes holding onto those straps when out of the stroller.The one con I have about the stroller is I wish the canopies on the seats were larger and offered more coverage. Another thing worth mentioning is that the seats don't appear to be very high. This is something I honestly only noticed for myself after reading other people's reviews. However, my oldest is somewhat petite, so this hasn't been an issue for us at all. If you are looking to purchase this stroller to use with a baby and a relatively taller toddler, you just might want to try it out for size in a store first to make sure your child's head was not brushing up on the canopy.Overall, we love this stroller and I hope this review was of help to you. 01/16/2009
MUST have for twins!!! I was looking for a double stroller that would hold 2 car seats and this was it! (you have to buy the second car seat adapter) I also love the ways you can arrange the seats! I get so many compliments on how cool the stroller looks. I don't think its as heavy as some people say. But it's worth every penny!!! 10/30/2008
I love it!!! I have had this stroller for almost a year and I still love it! My girls are 16 months apart and are taller than most children. My 2 1/2 year old sits in it rather well and loves the fact we can change how she sits. The basket is great and huge...wonderful for shopping! I really have no complaints. Yes, it's big and heavy, but it's a stroller for two. There really isn't much to do about that! Hope this helps. 01/07/2009
nice stroller easy to fold up and unfold - but wish it didn't have to be taken apart. Love all the seating options - having the seats face different directions etc. Wish there were cupholders or trays for the kids. As with all double strollers - be prepared to not fit in a handicapped bathroom stall at the mall! All in all - we really like the stroller and are happy with our purchase 07/28/2009
