Pros: Easily accomodates two children + an older child
Cons: Sheer size - it is MASSIVE!

Received as a gift, but the price is $299.99 at Babies R Us. The stroller can fit two infant seats (we have 2 Graco Snugrides) with the universal adapter. It is very easy to attach the infant seat converter. There is then a strap (similar to the Snap N Go) to hold the seat in place. The seats fits my 2-year old daughter (27 lbs) very easily.

At the back of the stroller is a toddler standing board and a sitting board, in which the child can be secured in place. The sitting board can also be slid back under the rear seat to allow more room to stand. When the rear seat is fully reclined, there isn't much room for the toddler to sit. We will probably not use it until my daughter is older (3+) and doesn't need to sit most of the time.

The two seats have a 5-point harness that is easy to adjust. The seats recline, although I don't think I would put a newborn straight into the seat. The footrest also has several positions. Both the seats and the footrests are incredibly easy to adjust. The fabric appears to be very heavy-duty and the seats remove easily for cleaning.

The under-carriage basket is huge and fairly easy to access even with the seats fully reclined. There is a tray with cupholder for each of the seats, both of which can be removed very easily.

Despite its length, the stroller is very easy to steer. The front wheels can be locked so they cannot turn. Unlocked, the stroller pivots easily. It is also easy to push, despite its size.

The stroller folds extremely easily, and the learning curve for folding is small.

The down-side is the length of the stroller when folded: it is 63" long, 14" high, and 21.5" wide (per the website.) It also weighs 37 lbs. before kids. It did not fit into the trunk of our 1998 Volvo V70 station wagon. We had to put one of the seats down in order to transport it home. It did fit into the back of a 2003 Acura MDX, but only at an angle.

I would recommend this stroller for a family who has twins plus an older child or three similarly spaced children.
