Very happy with this strollerNovember 30, 2008 Overall this stroller has been great for us! Pros:
It's very versatile, which is nice - my twin daughters can ride forwards, backwards, or even facing each other. Turning the seats is very easy, in case the sun is in baby's eyes.
You can use your car seats (we have Graco Safeseats which are supposed to be compatible, but haven't actually attached them) or the infant seats provided.
It turns on a dime and is the most easily maneuvered double stroller I tested (and I tested a lot of them).
It holds two cups and has a spot for keys/change. The basket underneath is large and holds everything you need.
Some minor cons:
I wish this stroller was a little more lightweight. But, it does make for a smoother ride since it's sturdy. I don't keep it in my car since it's heavy - it stays in our entryway for neighborhood walks, and bought a snap n go for our car.
I wish the bonnets weren't attached in the back so that you could pull them forward more. The sun is always getting in my daughters' eyes. Yes, they are only attached with Velcro, but if you detach there is a flap that hangs down where baby is.
A very minor con is the buckles are very difficult to loosen/tighten.
Made for everyoneNovember 30, 2008 The only reason I'm scoring it lower is because it doesn't fit MY personal needs... but I think it's a good buy for other people. This is a very quiet/smooth ride and you can tell that they really took their time and tried to make a stroller that fit everyones needs. It's definitely a stroller of convenience but is somewhat on the heavy side.
The only problem I had with this is that my son is 2 but he's the height of a 4-5 year old so he doesn't fit properly in it. The bottom part of the seat is pretty narrow, and the foot rest is in the middle of his calf and you can't adjust it lower, so he looks pretty awkward and uncomfortable in it. Basically he looks like he's falling out of it all the time. But I've seen other people with this stoller and their kids look perfectly comfortable. So I wont say that I don't recommend it to people, I still think it's worth it - but if you're kid is tall maybe think twice.
The only other problem I found was with the safety bar. For my 7 month old, the bar goes right in front of her face so if we hit a bump she was hitting her face on it. Easy fix though, for the time being I just leave it open/off for her, when she gets bigger I'll just reattach it.
So bottom line, I don't think the seats are the best quality in the world but you're getting so many other convenient options, it's worth it.
Nearly perfect.October 29, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This stroller is nearly perfect. I have a 2yr old that is 32 lbs and 37 inches tall and a 5 month old. This stroller pushes like a dream no matter where your older child is sitting. The suspension is great - I live in The Netherlands and this thing handles cobblestone and other rough surfaces with ease. My kids aren't jostled around and fall asleep quickly in it. My Britax Companion carseat works fine with the adapter and the stroller folds up flatter than some single strollers (if you take the seats off). It is heavy, but hello people - its a double -it's not going to be light. My only complaints are:
The handle bar could be narrower and shorter. (I cannot fit it into the back of my Ford Explorer behind the 3rd row seat ONLY because the handle is too long. For this reason I use it walking around town and not for travel.)
The seats are too short. My toddler's head comes over the back of the seat (It comes to the middle of his head, BUT he says he is comfortable and the shade fits over his head just fine.)
My biggest complaint is the straps/buckle. I HATE them/it. The buckle is hard to buckle and pinches your fingers very easily. The shoulder straps are easy to adjust, but the waist straps are a nightmare - especially if your child is in the seat.
kolakraft strollerOctober 22, 2008 i fell in love with this product as soon as i was able to assemble it,IT is so easy to manuver.The only problem I had was putting it together and folding it I'm still trying to figure that out. The only other kink I have with this product is that it is a bit heavy to lift.
A nice buyOctober 21, 2008 A great deal for the price. Very reactive for such a big stroller. My wife loves it for it's versatility. The only downside is that it doesn't fold vere small, but it is a big stroller. My 2 1/2 year old daughter is good size for her age, but she fits in it nicely. A lot of great features for the price. We're very happy with the purchase.
