Customer Review: went against public opinion and VERY happy!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
i, too, am a research fanatic before making purchases! i also love to get ideas from mothers who have 'gone before me' --- HOWEVER, this stroller goes against it all! before the baby was born, i was convinced that i needed to get a side-by-side for my girls (now 3 yrs old and 4 months old) so i went to a baby store to look at side-by-sides. it didn't take but just a minute to realize that you cannot shop in stores with those wide strollers! so i, against all recommendations, began looking at tandems. i actually purchased this kolkraft b/c it is one of the cheaper ones on the market and i thought "if i hate it like everyone says i will, then i won't be out so much money!" .....today, after using it multiple times every week for 4 months, i would buy it again and again. i would even buy it again if it cost twice as much!
now on to the pros and cons....
pros - #1 the seat situation is fabulous. i LOVE being able to position the seats to face whichever way i need them to. if the baby is awake, i face the girls towards each other so they can 'play/talk'. when the baby is sleeping, i turn the back seat towards me too so that my 3 yr old is also facing me (and she can also get in and out by herself this way). when my 3 yr old is walking, i leave a seat in the car and put the baby in the back seat closest to me then use the space in front for carrying stuff.....excellent.
#2 rubber wheels make for super easy steering **NOTE - it didn't take but one try to realize the big kid cannot go in the front!!! big kid must go in the back or else you're in for tough steering!** as long as the smallest kid is in the front, the stroller can be pushed and turned with only one hand -- the rubber wheels make it roll SO smoothly.
#3 big basket - while it is a little challenging to get to the basket sometimes, the basket is quite large and can hold alot of stuff! i do wish the back let down like on other strollers, but it's not too big a deal.
#4 huge parent tray - 2 deep cup holders and a rectangle that is big enough to hold cell phone, wipes, a toy, etc
#5 child cup holders - these snap off if/when you don't need them - but they are nice for holding any/everything
#6 easy fold up ONCE YOU GET USED TO IT! this was very frustrating for a while - but now i've figured it out and i can do it quickly and easily. hang in there - b/c it will make you MAD til you get used to it!
#7 big sun canopy on each seat and easy sliding adjustment for taller children - the canopy is attached to the back of each seat by velcro but it can easily be unsnapped for pulling around to the front of the seat
#8 seats recline almost all the way back. nice for little ones who can't hold their heads up well yet!
#9 car seat attachment easy to use
cons - (while i will list the 'cons' i still love love the stroller! just need to list the 'negatives' that come with a stroller of this size...)
#1 it's bulky and awkward when folded. when it folds up, it doesn't like to stand up like single strollers will. it kind of flops and collapses and it's a quite a bit heavier than a single stroller - don't forget how big it is!
#2 at first, difficult to fold up. like i mentioned in the 'pros', it was hard for me to figure out how to close it for a while. now it closes with ease - but it IS NOT a one-hand close. requires both hands for sure.
#3 seats could be considered 'short'. my 3 yr old is very tall for her age and she fits in the stroller fine - but the seats are not big enough for her to nap comfortably (which, i think, she is too old to do in a stroller anyway) she also knows that when she pulls the canopy over her head she has to slide down in the seat a little bit. not a big deal for us - but a fact
overall - i think this stroller is great, especially for the money!!!
