The brake system is not reliable, the straps are RIDICULOUS!!!!! I thought that the whole "freedom of movement" thing was such a great idea until I saw my boys constantly working their way out of the straps- no matter how tight I made the waist! I finally cut off the straps that go over the shoulders because they were just useless, easy to slip off and ended up under their bums because they don't stay attached to the back of the seat. The under carriage storage is very flimsy, made of bendable plastic. Even a large water bottle will force is down so low to the ground it scratches and then the fabric tears. The trays are pretty useless too, since nothing will actually fit in them and they are angled so when you try to put a snack on it, it just falls in their lap. It's made of VERY cheap plastic all over- no reinforced aluminum on this stroller. The recline is very strange with a kind of pull and push to release thing that is impossible to adjust back to a sitting position while the child is in the seat. I bought this because of the ability to put an infant car seat on the one side, which does work, though it doesn't have to be another peg perego infant seat as they say. It is very lightweight and has an easy fold. But the wheels are terrible and although it will fit through a doorway, it's very difficult to manage because the wheels have to be perfectly lined- and that alone is hard to accomplish with such poor steering manueverability. The wheels sticks at the slightest bump in the road or any unlevel surface. The cup holder is pathetic and falls off easily. The supposed peek through window doesn't work when there is sun, which of course is when you need it right? So basically, it's great for getting from the car with a sleeping infant and a toddler to your front door and back again, but just awful everywhere else. So NOT worth the price they ask for this stroller. Hope this helps you, so you won't waste your money and lose your patience on this very expensively cheap product.

Then, when I realized that I could not go across grass, or dirt (the wheels are HORRIBLE) and it was SO hard to push, and the brakes DO NOT work with 2 kids inside, the cupholder is a joke, there is no "mommy" tray to hold cell phone/keys, there are no cupholders for kids, etc etc. I thought all of these "little" things were ok to sacrifice in exchange for the ease of folding - which is the ONLY pro about this stroller. This stroller literally takes 2 seconds to fold (SO EASY) and put in the car. But, then I found myself not *wanting* to use the stroller because it was easier to carry my infant's carseat and hold my toddlers hand than it was to steer this thing on anything but pavement. If you are looking for somthing to take to the mall (or any smooth surface) where you don't really need brakes, or a cupholder, or a place to put your stuff, etc, then this is for you... but I'm guessing as a mom you have a lot of other places to go and need more perks than just ease of folding, so this stroller is probably not for you! Thank goodness for Babies R Us 90 day return policy! After 4 weeks of fustration I brought it back. <br />I'm going for the Bob Duallie!

We were a bit worried that it would be a little flimsey but it was been doing great so far. Our Chico Keyfit 30 carseat even fit. Rating: 5 / 5 We love it.

She was looking for a light and sturdy double stroller that she could fit through a normal size door. She's being using it a lot and she loves it. My two year old granddaugher loves the fact that she's next to her baby brother. It's a great double stroller! Rating: 5 / 5 I bought this stroller for my daughter.

I like the handle for pushing the stroller. <br /> It is very light to lift in and out of the car, folds compactly (though not umbrella style), and even the handle folds down to make it even smaller. It stands on its own when folded. <br /> It has a big basket that is accessible from the back, and even a single parent cup holder. <br /> My kids are 15 lbs apart, and the stroller wheels beautifully. It is not at all lopsided. <br /> <br />Cons: None of these are deal-breakers to me, but here they are. There are no child cup holders. There is only 1 parent cup holder. The 5 pt. harness system really doesn't restrain your child to the back of the seat, but kids certainly aren't going to be able to climb out with the substantial waist strap. I had trouble engaging the brake when I had my older child only in one seat, and he was leaning forward, but it worked great with two kids in the stroller.
