Baby Products Reviews of Graco DuoGlider Stroller, Tango in the TongoCustomer Review: Great stroller, well-priced, not super durable Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this stroller before I had my 2nd child. Once she was born, I would put the baby in her SnugRide car seat in the rear and the just-2yr old big sister in the front. This stroller has had LOTS of use. An avid fitness-walker, it's gotten regular use of 3-7 days/week, 4+ miles a day. As my baby grew, she eventually moved from the car seat straight to the stroller (around 5-6 months). When the baby was around a year or so, she began pulling Big Sister's hair (with gusto!), so I switched her to the front seat, which actually made it easier to handle since the heavier child was closer to me and my center-of gravity. I fly alone (just the kids and I) twice yearly to visit my mother in Florida and always take the stroller to gate check, since we always have a lay-over it is much easier to transport the girls and all our carry-on stuff (you know, diaper bag, camera, snacks, drinks, DVD, toys). Also, I typically visit for 2.5-4 weeks, so I like using the stroller for walking while there - and not having to hunch over an umbrella stroller the entire trip! Almost every time we've flown (for at least one of the four legs of the flight) something on the stroller has broken. For example, first one the the bolts broke off the rear canopy (I really should have tried to find some sort of replacment at the hardware store) as well as the front canopy becomming bent where it snaps into the frame - making it hard to attach/detach and it comes apart frequently during moving it in and out of the car now). Then the latch for the bottom basket snapped off and was lost (so I used a bungee cord - which doesn't work great). Then I lost the other bolt for the rear canopy on my most recent flight. I have been disappointed about these losses during flights, especially since I've gate-checked it and would think it gets better care by the airline workers. The stroller is relatively easy to manuveur, it's heavy, especially with my girls getting older, but this seems to be a universal issue with double strollers. The removable snack trays attach pretty easily (just have to use some of your strength). Now that my older girl is 3.5yrs and 43 in tall/34 lbs, she has become hard to fit into the stroller - I must take off the snack try and reattach in order for her to get in. Also, we've kept the stroller outside on the covered porch and the fabric has become VERY moldy - and very hard to clean. Keeping it in a garage or shed may keep it a bit safer from moisture. The axles on the rear wheels are rusty and it squeaks a bit, but some mantainence might mostly clear that up. I definately reccomend this stroller to walkers and those who just want something to take in the car or to the park, etc. Not necessarily for airline travel. Also, not good for bigger/older kids. I'm considering getting the Graco Quattro Tour Duo Stroller soon - holds 10 lbs more weight for ea. seat and looks to accomodate larger kids. A bit more expensive but also appears to be a bit more durable. Besides, my current stroller has gotten 2 years of constant use - not bad for the price.
