Baby Products Reviews of Baby Trend Double Snap N Go Stroller Frame, Black
Customer Review: Works Great with Graco Snugride
Summary: 5 Stars
We have been using this stroller since our twins were born 6 months ago. It was easy to put together, and in the manual has instructions to install the silver bars for many different car seats. We have two Graco Snugride car seats that fit wonderful.
The stroller is light, easy to fold and unfold, quick to snap in the seats, and turns great. It is also nice and slim for grocery or mall shopping. Just takes some practice with how long it is.
I agree with the review that said the straps to secure the car seats get caught in the frame every time you unfold it. I found that by clicking the straps back together before I folded it got rid of this problem.
The basket below is nice and big. Only problem is getting things back out once the car seats are in place. I drape my diaper bag over the handle and put the small thing below: like blankets, my purse, and small groceries.
We also just purchased our "up-grade" stroller. The Graco Quattro Tour Duo in Ionic. It will be fantastic for when the twins are both able to sit up. But while they are still in the car seats I like this one better. I would recommend this stroller to anyone having twins.
Customer Review: Not compatible with Chicco car seats
Summary: 2 Stars
This seems like a good stroller for twins and may work quite well with some infant seats but it did not seem safe with the Chicco Keyfit 30 seats I already had. The Chicco was listed as one of the compatible seats for this stroller but it just sat on top of the stroller -- the only thing holding the seat in place was a rather flimsy, adjustable belt. I was able to adjust the belt somewhat and got the seat not to move side to side but with nothing to snap into, it tilted up and down quite a bit. I think the idea is supposed to be that it's heavy enough with a baby in it not to move but it seemed to me if I accidentally hit the front of the stroller against something, the car seat could potentially lift up and that just didn't seem very safe. I can see how a seat with a notch in the bottom would be secure on the bar that's supplied with the stroller but since the Chicco is rounded on the bottom with no notch, I'm not sure why it's listed as a compatible seat. The stroller itself was very light and folded up very compactly and really seemed ideal to use until the babies no longer fit in their car seats, but it just didn't seem to be safe for use with my car seats.Customer Review: Favorite twin stroller
Summary: 5 Stars
This was fantastic when my twins were little. I used it up until they were about 10 months old when they got too long for their carseats. I had Graco SafeSeats and they fit perfectly in this stroller. The snap-n-go fit nicely in my Camry hybrid trunk (which is smaller than the regular Camry) and I could still get groceries in there too. It was super easy to pop the kids in and out of the car into this stroller. Made errands easier to do. It has a decent mommy tray, yes you can have a cup of coffee and push your kids around in the stroller too! Of course, when they were really tiny I didn't have the snap n go, I was carrying them both around in their carseats everywhere! I saw the pictures of the snap n go, but at first didn't get why they were selling just the frame! I really loved this stroller, but knew it was time for a different one when the twins got heavier, it was harder to push and maneuver. I upgraded to the City Select (hated spending the money, but it is a good tandem stroller too) because it was the only thing that would fold flat enough to fit in my trunk! I would say this was an essential piece of gear for the twins' first year.Customer Review: Love this stroller, BUT...
Summary: 2 Stars
...what they don't tell you is this. Graco SafeSeats are compatible with this stroller, which are supposed to last around a year or up to 30 inches. But, once your baby reaches 23 inches or so, her feet will be completely smooshed up against the seat in front (the seats overlap, and there is no room for feet under the overlap). My daughters are only 3.5 months old, and already I need to buy a new stroller, since the daughter in the rear can't be strapped in anymore or her feet will be pinched between the seats.
So, while I love this stroller for its ease of use, its exceptional maneuverability, its light weight, and the fact it's the only double stroller that fits into my Prius, that it's only good for twins up to 23 possibly 24 inches is a major design flaw. If it were only a little longer, I would give it 5 stars.
Yes, I could have bought the smaller Snugride seats, but my babies would probably be outgrowing those around now as well so the same problem would exist. If it says it's compatible with Safeseats, it should allow room for feet in the overlap! & certainly last longer than 3.5 months.
Customer Review: Woefully cheap parts
Summary: 1 Stars
I thought this stroller would be great for my twin daughters. I figured it would be great to easily take them from car seat to stroller, when needed. I love the bucket style carriers, but this stroller base is a pain. The worst part so far has been the wheels. While building it, I had to call and replace a faulty one. Since using it, the wheels near the handle have gotten severely wobbly. I had to call after a few weeks of use to get them replaced as well. Basically, I've replaced 3 of the 4 wheels in a month of use (and before use). Also, when I fold it, the wheels swivel and make it impossible to lock at times. While folding and unfolding, the canvas straps get caught constantly, so it isn't quick and easy to fold and unfold. Pushing this bulky stroller is a major chore. Beyond the difficulty in turning such a long stroller (which comes with the twin territory), it's heavy and the wheels seem overly taxed. My jogging stroller is a thousand times easier to push. I wish there were another, possibly more expensive but better built double carrier snapping stroller on the market, and I'd buy it in a second.
