 DO NOT BUY THIS STROLLER!! September 7, 2007
J. Valle (Succasunna, NJ United States)
Forget about the lack of storage and snack trays, you can't even steer this thing. My husband even has a hard time. Don't waste your money on this one!!

Well I have 3 kids, but require only a stroller for 2. I wanted something smaller than the huge double strollers that are out there. This stroller is definitely smaller and pushes really smooth. My newborn, who's now 3 months, is fine with lying in the stroller. I have a Kidopotamus Snuzzler and I keep the headrest part to it in there to keep his head upright while in it. I think this helps it be more comfy for him. The only complaint I have on the stroller is that there's little to no storage space... Just a tiny spot that you can fit the baby's blanket in! There are some storage pockets on the back canopy that can hold your keys and cell phone. There's a cup holder for the front sitting child. We actually vacationed with this stroller in FL when my youngest was 9 wks old. It did the job for our family of 5. The price is a steal. The other "fancy" double strollers are close to $200, where this one is closer to the $100 end. I conveniently picked this one up at Target. Putting it together was super easy. It folds down nice. It doesn't even look like a double stroller when in use. So far, so good for us.
This stroller is not made for walking, folding, moving, or even holding children... July 16, 2007

My husband and I picked this out as our baby shower gift after looking everywhere for a lightweight, compact-when-folded stroller... This seemed like the perfect solution until we used it. The first thing to break was the adjustable leg rest on the front seat... then the latch that holds the stroller in the folded postion fell off (who knows where??) and then the foam grips on the handles came off within a week of each other. (AT this point we'd had the stroller for 4 months.) So, now I'm left wondering what's next as I try to talk my husband into getting a different double stroller... (Maybe I should back over it with my van...)
There are some decent features: It has wheels.
Cons: 1) The canopy does nothing for the child in front.
2) There's no way you can take one hand off and expect this thing to continue in a straight line, and due to the position of the handles, you can't push it in the middle with out pushing on the back of your kid's head.
3) There is absolutely NO USABLE storage. There is a 6"x4" compartment underneath the stroller (for easy access, I suppose) and no parent tray... If you decide to place anything in the netting that is provided in between the handles, you'll again be infringing on your child's head space... but he doesn't necessarily mind when your keys, soda, and wallet are bopping him on the head, does he??
Go with the graco duo glider... it's probably 15 dollars more, and 1000 times more useful and awesome... Eddie bauer should stick with making ugly jeans.

This stroller blows. Aside from the already noted lack of cup holders and snack trays. I had it for 94 days and only used it a few times. The front wheel stopped pivoting. They would turn but wouldn't turn a corner. Target would do nothing for me. I was 4 days outside my return window. Dorel wasn't to difficult to work with. They only sent one wheel at first. Then I got the other one. It did not help. I have to 'destroy' the stroller send in some items and then I'll get my money back. What a pain. At least I'm getting my money back though... minus shipping and tax. Better thatn nothing.

I just purchased this stroller from Target and it was a snap to put together and folds down to a compact unit. It seems to be a very smart design-enough room for two kids but not the hulking masses that other tandem strollers can be; it manuevers well and even finds room for small storage beneath (though that could be a tad bigger) with side-access zippers and nifty storage in the hood.
It comes with a nice cup holder for the front child, but does not come with a snack tray or parent's cup as the add above appears to state (the box and instructions do not claim that these items are included). So, there are no cup holders offered for the parent or rear child, and watch out for the after-market add ons because the cross beams are thick and the one I just purchased can't reach around the beam (we'll have to buy larger screws).
In addition, the rear seat reclines, but does not pull forward to a very straight position, and I'm afraid that the front seat does not recline at all.
All in all though, this stroller fits the ticket more than any other I've found thus far-we don't use strollers often so I've been looking for a stroller easy enough to carry around in the back of my trunk and light enough to take with us on an all-day event that can accomodate both kids, should they both happen to want to sit at the same time.
