Graco Duo Rider

Pros: Read on~
Cons: None that I have found yet!

I purchased the Graco Duo Rider stroller for several reasons. First and foremost, I got it for next to free<grin>. BabyStyle.com has some awesome deals. I was able to use a $50 off $100 order offer at their site, combined with a $20 gift...

Pros: huge baskets
Cons: not durable

I purchased the Graco Duo Rider when my twins were born. I already had the Prego Tender, but I wanted a lighter stroller that I could keep in my car. I chose the Duo Rider because it was not too pricey ($120), it had HUGE baskets, and the seats were...

Pros: large basket, large sun visor, reclining seats
Cons: too wide, hard to maneuver, straps hard to adjust

We decided we needed a double stroller when I was pregnant with our second child and our son was under age 2. We considered both front/back and side-by-side double strollers and settled on the later one. It was very important to me that the stroller...

Pros: Seats 2 comfortably
Cons: Difficult to handle, breaks easily.

I started to write a positive review of the Graco Duo Rider. I have one. I use one. Hey, I really *wanted to like this. But I found that I just couldn't.

Don't get me wrong. I use mine all the time. I have an 8 month old, a 3 year old,...

Pros: durable, lots of storage room in compartments
Cons: not always easy to fold up, locking mechanism sometimes sticks

When we had our second baby, we knew that buying a second single stroller would have been less expensive than buying a dual stroller, but prohibitive nonetheless. (How the heck do you drag two kids and carry two strollers onto the bus?) So, we...

Pros: Ergonomic handle, large storage basket
Cons: For some...two position recline

After endless research on the internet, and endless requests for opinions from other moms with toddlers and new infants, I finally decided that this stroller was the best choice for practicality and price. My decisions has proven to be the best. Both...

Pros: Handles Easily
Cons: No Drink Holder - Not very important to all

This is one of the best purchases that my husband and I made before our twin daughters arrival. The Graco Duo Rider handles easily. I sometimes have to hold one of my girls while pushing the other in the stroller and can easily do so with one hand. It...

Pros: Attractive, Large basket, Reclining seats
Cons: Wide(expected in side-by-sides), not as sturdy as Graco's travel systems, seat pads fall off

First let me explain my need for a double stroller. I have two children who are 13mos apart. When my younger was born, we put off buying a double stroller by getting an umbrella stroller for our older child and kept the baby in the larger Graco travel...

Pros: You can shop and not have to carry your packages!
Cons: get's dirty easily---but what doesn't when you have kids?

As a mother of two, that are 17 months apart, I definitely needed a double stroller. We purchased the Graco Double Stroller from Wal-mart way before our second was born. Of course we still had our Graco one-seater but after our second was born, we...

Pros: Comfortable for kids, folds easily, removable cushions
Cons: could be too wide in some instances- but not often

I should start out by saying that anyone trying to go out and about with two or more kids in tow is going to have some rough times. I got it because the front to back double stroller I had just wasn't comfortable or practical any more for my one and...

Pros: Lightweight, easy to maneuver
Cons: a bit wide to get into smaller stores

When we first decided to buy a double stroller, I was determined to get the "front to back" model. I thought the "side by side" model was too big and would be difficult to get through doorways and would be hard to maneuver. My husband...

Pros: Ease of use, steers well, comfort.
Cons: none

I purchased the Graco Duo Rider just before my second child was born. My oldest was 2 1/2. As a Nursery nurse, I meet and become friends with a lot of mothers. After talking with them, I decided on a side by side stroller. Those who had used the...

Pros: convient
Cons: wheel broke off, not a wide variety of colors.

I am a mother of 3 girls and 2 of them are twins. When I was carrying the twins I knew I needed a double stroller and I couldn't decide between the front to back or side by side, well I got both because I just wasn't sure. They craco front to back was...

Pros: Cost, Style, Baskets, Side by Side
Cons: None

I purchased this stroller when I found out I was expecting twins. I already had two other children, also young, so I also had a Perego triple stroller on hand. I was looking for something in a specific (read inexpensive)price category.

This...

Pros: Lots of room for the babies, and plenty of storage room under the seats
Cons: sorta expensive

I must admit, I was very skeptical about buying a side-by-side stroller. I was given a front-to-back stroller at my baby shower, and I loved it for about the first 1/2 hour I used it. After that, I had NO desire to ever use it again. It was so hard to...
