 All in all, a great stroller with a few quirks July 1, 2010

I have a 3 year old and 18 month old, and we love this stroller. It handles easily and is light. The handles are comfortable and at a good height. We love that there's no awkward 3rd handle to prevent Dad from pushing. :c) The seats are comfortable and provide enough room that each kid has space and they don't squish each other. The baskets are just large enough for my purse and to toss some other things in for a walk, and the bags on the back of the sunshade are roomy (though they can carry a maximum weight of only a pound). The sunshades are practically useless, and I would aboslutely recommend purchasing the Protect-a-Bub Classic Sunshade (see my review). The wheels are small but well-made, and provide wonderful maneuverability. This is NOT an off-road stroller by any means. It's great for walks, shopping, and travelling (which we do a lot of), but was a hassle when we took it to a petting zoo with gravel trails. If you stick to paved/smooth surfaces, you will LOVE this stroller. If your kids won't hold their own sippy cups, I'd also suggest getting a detachable stroller organizer with cupholders. I got the Carry You Sicily Double Stroller Organizer, which fits fine (I have a review for it, too). Also, the directions on folding this stroller are useless. Use your foot to push both of the foot holds under the seats up as far as you can, then find the small handle behind the right seat. Put your foot on that with your hands on the handles, and push down HARD with your foot. The stroller will collapse forward. I thought I was going to break it, so it took me some time to figure this out. Now that I know I won't destroy the stroller with a little pressure, it's extremely easy to fold/unfold. I wish it came with a carrying strap so that I could carry it over my shoulder, but the suitcase-style handle is perfectly adequate. All in all, we love this Maclaren. I leave it set up in my living room after walks, and my 18 month old will sit in it just to play. Great stroller!

I find myself cursing at this stroller more than praising it.
The many CONS: Baskets are tiny and very difficult to access; the lock snap/bar thingees on the sides do not unfasten easily (IE, you open one, then go to open the other, and the first one clicks closed on its own...annoying); No place to hang a diaper bag/purse/etc when walking longer distances or shopping; impossible to steer with one hand; tough to open; rough to close as the release bar that you step on needs to be hit a few times before unlocking the stroller; the button you push to unlock and unstrap the kids cannot be pushed if you have even the slightest length to your fingernails (Nanas and Grandmas beware); the shades do not hangover far enough to actually block sun--this is crazy! and last: no cupholder attachment (and most parents of young ones, let's face it, drink coffee.)
PROS: uh, light weight? and the seat covers are (I think) washable. Also, the plastic rain cover actually does fit and work pretty well.
Sorry to be a hater! But I truly do find it this difficult to own. I have heard that the Combi side-by-side is pretty good....

I bought this stroller for my two -- currently 2 years old and 2 months old. I've been using for two months and do not regret the purchase at all! It's everything the descriptions says it is. Compared to the other double strollers out there, it is very light weight and compact when folded. It's also exceptionally maneuverable. I can whip it around racks and thru doors one handed. I've done quite a bit of shopping with it and discovered that it does very well in the malls. It fits through all of the single door entrances in the mall -- from the main doors to dressing rooms to restrooms. It also does just fine in most of the stores aisles. Some stores jam racks in so tight that it's difficult to walk thru by yourself, regardless of having a stroller, but that can't be helped.
I really debated about going straight to an umbrella-style stroller rather than purchasing a full size one.
The two drawbacks to doing that are this: can't snap an infant car seat into the stroller and the small basket. I decided that these two drawbacks were worth it for several reasons. The basket wasn't a huge issue because I realized I never used the basket much on the full size Graco single stroller that I had before. The diaper bag was always to large adn when I was shopping, my bags were usually too big as well. I just toss the bags on the handles of the Maclaren while I shop and unsnap the basket to stuff jackets, spare toys and extra blankets down there. I did purchase the Maclaren universal organizer for double strollers. It's a great place to stash cell phones, toys, sippycups and drinks for mom! The car seat issue was a tough one because it is a nice feature to have, however, most babies get fed up with sitting backwards in the car seat after a few months anyway. My son wanted to see everything by the time he was 4 months and I quit using the carrier in his Graco as soon as he was able to sit up enough for the stroller seat. Since I was certain that I'd want a double umbrella anyway, I couldn't see spending upwards of $200 on a full-size double stroller just to be able to use the carrier with it for four months and then spend more money on an umbrella. The seat reclines enough for my newborn to lay snugly in it. I did purchase JJ Cole Body and head support for her just to make sure she's not slouching to the side, but she's big enough now that she really doesn't need it anymore.
A few other quirks I've noticed:It's not quite as easy to open and close as my Maclaren single and my graco single. But, it may just be that I'm still getting used to it. Also, my 2 yr old is rather tall (37"), so his head is nearing the top of the seat. He still sits comfortably, but I sincerely doubt he will be able to sit in it for more than another year. It's also a little narrow through the shoulders for him, but still comfortable. If he was a huskier child, it might be a tight fit.
Love this stroller but would like longer seat depth February 3, 2010

I have twins and I love this stroller except for one thing that noone seems to discuss in reviews - the seat depth is so short I feel like my twins are literally on the edge of their seats. It makes it more difficult to put them in the stroller when they are smaller because you are balancing them more for safety to get them strapped in. I love everything else about this stroller - its lightweight, easy to push, fits great in the trunk of our Honda Accord. Great for using for malls, Dr offices, etc but not for long walks.
Great purchase! October 11, 2009

I researched and researched a twin stroller. After reading reviews upon reviews we went with this one and are not disappointed. I have a 12 wk old and 19 month old and cannot tell the difference in their weights - it makes no difference in maneuvering it. We were prepared to pay any amount for a good stroller that we could use for years to come and this is it! We are very, very happy with our choice. It is such a daunting decision to make a purchase on something that costs a few hundred dollars.
There are two negatives. One is the straps. I went and bought shoulder pads for both sets of straps as they rubbed against my 19 mo. old's neck and my 3 mo. old laid on the buckle. It was an additional twelve dollars. The other is when it is closed the inside of the canopies rest against the wheels and therefore they get dirty. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if I'm supposed to take the canopies off each time (which I'm not going to do because it would be too much hassle).
For everything else, it is an absolute dream stroller and worth the money!
