Pros: easy fold, mega storage, reclining, great sun protection, narrow, cup holders gallore!
Cons: heavy and takes up alot of space when folded, but not more than others.
The Bottom Line: If you require a snooty designer stroller, look elsewhere. If you're looking for the best one on the market, get the Duo Glider.

| scootchover's Full Review: Graco DuoGlider - Metropolitan Standard Stroller |
We bought our first Duo Glider when we had a newborn and a 2 year old. At that time, after doing our research, we found it was the best available for the money. It holds a toddler and an infant carrier comfortably and conveniently. When the smaller child has outgrown the infant carrier, it holds larger babies and toddlers equally as comfortable. Very safe, as the 3 point lap belts are plussed by the snack trays that prohibit all but the most determined child from wriggling free.
Folding the Duo Glider couldn't be any easier! However, you'll want to make sure you have a minivan or a large trunk for storing this puppy. Even folded, it takes up alot of room, though no more than any other double stroller. If hauling two children of unequal size, we found that other double strollers tended to be harder to steer, or feel like they wanted to tip over when turning corners. Not this one!
About 6 months ago we decided we'd outgrown it and gave it to a family who needed it much more than we did.
However, now that we're about to go on vacation to DisneyWorld, the thought of either renting expensive uncomfortable strollers every day or just hoofing it with a 3 and 5 year old just wasn't that appealing.
So we started looking at the double strollers available now and the Duo Glider is still the best for the money. We were able to pick up a used one in great condition at a baby consignment shop and the thing is just as sturdy now as it was brand new. Unless you wish to spend hundreds of $$, this is your best double stroller option.
I love that it is easy to navigate in crowds and tight spaces, thanks to the swivel wheels on the front. Each child (and the parent) has a snack tray with cup holder. The underneath storage is amazing! The sun shades are large enough to actually protect both children. It is ultra-easy to fold and goes through airports and public transportation in a breeze!
While it is heavy, it's not the heaviest on the market. This is one sturdy stroller!
