Hi all,
I just wanted to share how much I loved my new Graco Sit and Stand, the "Room for Two" on my recent Disney trip. I am a big Graco fan, so I was thrilled when I saw that they began producing a sit and stand where both seats could hold 50 lbs. All the other sit and stands on the market only hold up to 45lbs, only 5 lbs less, but it still extends the life of the stroller. The stroller folds just like any typical Graco and weighs only 26 lbs. The easy fold was great for getting on and off buses, unlike my last double Graco (the Duorider- a discontinued side by side, lightweight stroller with a huge cargo area). There is a parent console and cupholder/tray for the front seat, as well as a generous cargo area. The wheels and construction of the stroller are also quite sturdy.
As far as how the kids liked it, well it was a hit! My little one, who is almost three would sit in the front and my big girl, who is five, had the back. My older daughter loved how she could stand and look around but could also rest while sitting on a padded seat. That feature was nice for photos too, she could stay in the stroller, especially when my little one didn't want to get out. The front seat was also very comfortable and reclines almost flat. The only downside was that when it is flat, you can't sit in the standing seat. My little girl really enjoyed sitting in the front and watching WDW go by, and my big girl didn't complain that she didn't get the front since her seat was special, too!
The only con I can give is that the canopy was a little small. It mostly covered the front seat, but it could be adjusted to give both seat a bit of shade when needed. I did see that Graco's higher end sit and stand the "Room to Grow" has more features and a larger shade.
If you're in the market for a new "double" stroller, have an "older" child, and are looking for a narrower, lighter option, I can't recommend it enough. And it was only $118! I can't wait to use it again when we go in 2014, when my kiddos are 4 and 7 (Too old? That's for another post!
)So there you go! My take on a new to the market stroller...
