Godsend for children close in age!

Pros:Works with a variety of cars eats, converts for older children
Cons:Basket is hard to reach when car seat is attached
We got the Caravan Lite Lx as a gift from our mothers. We had told them that we wanted it because our children would be a mere 21 months apart. The deciding factor on double strollers for us was that the Caravan would accommodate our infant car seat. This has turned out to be the greatest feature. This way if our baby was sleeping soundly we didn't have to jar her awake to go into the mall.
Our toddler is also kept well in hand with the seat belt and bar in the front seat. It is harder to keep her out of things in a small area because she can reach the items on a shelf before we can reach her. That is solved by having one parent walk in front of her, but is something to think about if you are going out with one parent and two children.
The basket underneath is good sized but with the seat folded down to attach the car seat it is hard to access. Now that the youngest can sit up and ride in the stroller without her car seat we can store our large diaper bag under the stroller and have room left over.
The stroller is very easy to fold and unfold and stores quite nicely for such a big piece of equipment. It even has a locking mechanism so that it won't unfold just in case it should be bumped. The canopy hoods are also removable should you want to do so. We did this to make the car seat work better.
All in all I think this is well worth the money spent as it will last us a long time with two little ones and is much better than pushing two strollers or waking a peacefully sleeping infant.
