Buying Graco Twin IPO Stroller in Navarro



We actually bought 2 of these to use at Disney World for our kids, ages 4, 3, 18 months, and 3 months. We wanted something that would accomodate all sizes of kids and steer well with any combination of kids, give everyone an actual seat to sit in (not like a sit and stand), and fold up small to fit on busses. We found the perfect stroller! It folded easily and small, it held all of the kids from the 3 month old to the 44" and 45lb older kids comfortably and steered relatively well. Some things that we especially liked: there was a carry handle on the side so when it was folded up you could pick it up like a suitcase which was especially handy for the busses, it was very easy to fold and unfold, the seats reclined to near flat (the 3 month old spent lots of time in it and never had a problem) and could be reclined or sat up easily with just one hand, and the baskets were adaquately sized, but not huge. It overall was a great little double stroller. It was much sturdier than I was expecting from an umbrella type stroller.
That being said, there were a few negatives. The sunshades are essentailly useless, and the clips to hold them open didn't work very well. They were pretty flimsy and the older kids kept knocking them off of the stroller and then we would have to reattached them. They also kind of got in the way when folding the stroller up, but not a big deal. The other bad thing that we came across was that the wheels in the front have a lever thing that makes the wheels swivel (easy to steer) or lock (tough to steer, but good for offroad). Sometimes the kids with their long legs, or Mommy and Daddy steering too close to an obstacle, would knock those levers into the lock positon and then the stroller would get difficult to steer, so we would have to stop and put the lever thing back. The stroller really isn't too bad to steer when all 3 front wheels are swiveling, but if one of them gets locked it becomes much more difficult. And if you have much weight in the stroller you HAVE to use 2 hands to steer. Since it is an umbrella stroller and has 2 handles instead of a continuos bar there will be no cell phone chats while you steer the stroller, at least not very long ones.
Overall, the strollers worked awesome for us at Disney World and I am excited about having one to use for the 2 younger kids as they get older. If you are looking for a small, easy to use double stroller for cruising the mall, going to the zoo, etc I would definitely recommend this one.Get more detail about Graco Twin IPO Stroller in Navarro.
