Pros:
Great space for kids and all your stuff
Cons:
We don't call it the barge fer nothin'
|
|
When I found out I was having a bonus baby, a double stroller was in my future. But, huge amounts of inheritance money were not. So....I shopped for a cheaper double that would meet our needs. The DuoGlider was that stroller.It's easy to fold, easy to load kids in and out of and works great for our outdoor excursions. The huge basket holds a day's worth of stuff and the two snack trays hold everyone's food and drinks (well, not mommy's...).What would I change? We call ours 'the barge'. I have never driven a barge, but I assume that manuvering one is kinda like trying to drive this thing thru the racks in mall stores. I also would add a parent's tray so that I have a place to put my drink. For a cheap double tho, this is a great choice!

Pros:
fits through racks at the mall
Cons:
hard to steer and open, heavy, snack trays fell off.
|
|
Paid about $150 at Babies r us. Purchased it because our car seat from the 1st child fit in it and our Graco single was well made. Very disappointed in how poorly this was made.

Pros:
It's easy to fold and use, and my toddler LOVES it.
Cons:
It's REALLY heavy, and only moderately easy to manipulate.
|

I was very fortunate to get a great deal on this, but frankly, it wouldn't be worth it if I hadn't. Things that I like about it:It's easy to fold and set up.
It's easy to remove the sunshades.
It has a GREAT basket.
Because it was inexpensive, I don't really worry about anything happening to it.  Things I don't like about it:
It's really, really, really heavy!
It's challenging to steer around corners.
It doesn't have a parent tray, or a child tray for the back seat.I think if I had never owned a better stroller (I have an older Peg Pliko, and a Chicco Ponee) I wouldn't be bugged by the little things with this, and the weight wouldn't bother me so much. But if I had paid any more money for this, I would have felt ripped off.

Pros:
carries two children
Cons:
bulky, physics nightmare, cheap construction
|
|
Was a gift after the birth of our second. Super bulky, heavy, plastic construction, wheels fell off, fabric was cheap, super hard to maneuver through sstores while shopping. Overall the worst piece of baby equipment possibly ever made. Also have several friends who also had the wheels fall off while using and after calling Graco this seems to be a known problem that they are not willing to fix. Although they will send new wheels. Thankfully we did not waste our money on this horrible piece of equipment. If you don't care about function, ease of use, versitility, and quality then buy this stroller. If you prefer quality over price stear clear of this stroller.Pro: Carried 2 children.

Pros:
The basket rocks - you can almost fit luggage down there
Cons:
Doesn't maneuver very well, and weighs a ton
|
|
A friend of mine has this stroller, and we've shared use of it when out and about with our kids - a one year old, two year old, and three year old. The best thing about the DuoGlider is the size of the basket. On one trip, we managed to squeeze in two Nalgene bottles of water, two diaper bags, two slings, the Baby Bjorn, a big insulated lunch cooler, a purse, a small backpack, and jackets for the kids into the basket, had a backpack slung over the handle, and could've gotten more in there if we had to. I usually use a Zooper, whose basket is almost nonexistant compared to this, so it was nice.That said, this stroller weighs a ton (even when not loaded down), doesn't turn well, and is both long and wide. It wouldn't be easy to get this one through the racks in a store, and if you're like me and try to prevent your child from grabbing by going fast, you would fail miserably, and probably break stuff in the bargain.I don't mind this stroller, but I wouldn't buy it if I could afford something a little lighter and easier to maneuver. And the basket underneath is just asking for trouble, anyhow...
