Graco Duo-something front/back stroller?

[pam2girls]

I have a 3yr old and a 4 mo. old. I know the strollers to rent don't recline so I have to bring at least one stroller anyway for the baby. I saw a Graco double stroller duoglider front/back style on clearance at Walmart for $70, reg. $130. Does anyone know about this stroller? We are not flying and are staying off-site, so my main question is getting around the park. Do I bring my single Graco for the baby and rent one for the 3 yr old? Or buy this one at a pretty good price? I have never used a double stroller and I want the baby especially to be comfy sleeping. Thanks for your input to another stroller question.

Before buying one, I would try to get to a store that carries them with both your kids along so you can try it out. See how it handles and steers with both kids in it. How easy/hard is it to get the older one in. How much leg room will the older one have? See how far both seats recline. Does it have trays (if those are important to you) How well do the canopies cover the little ones, both while awake and asleep. How easy is it to fold, how small does it fold, how heavy is it. I have heard good things about the Graco duoglider and duorider (I think I got those names right) I am pretty sure if you have a Graco baby car seat (the bucket type) that it will fit in the stroller too. Personally I think it would be easier to have one stroller, but might not be the best if it pushes like a bus. I have never used a two-seater, but hope this helps.

We have the Graco DuoGlider and we love it. My nickname for it is The Beast! BUT I love it!

For our trip to WDW (with our 2 1/2 year old and 15 month old) I thought it would be better to have two single strollers! WRONG!!! LOL Everytime I saw someone with a beast I longed for ours......

Now what is the best double stroller for you?? I would check out epinions.com and other sites for detail info. Our DuoGlider's rear seat reclines fully, so that would help you. It is a bear to push with my almost 3 year old in front but I much rather have a hard time pushing one stroller than two!

A double stroller is a bit more difficult on WDW transportation. Strollers must be folded.... BUT with one double stroller your only folding up one.... Just dont use the undercarrage basket for much.... makes for eaiser folding.

HTH and if you have any more questions feel free to PM me!
