Graco Quattro Tour Duo Stroller in Ionic
March 8, 2008 — cia
Love this stroller!
I had purchased the Quattro Tour single stroller and then much to my surprise found out I was pregnant again when my first little one was 8 weeks old. This would mean my kids would be less than 11 months apart. Clearly a double stroller was needed if I was going to go anywhere.
I researched and looked and read reviews and I was nervous about ordering a stroller I couldn’t see in person. I checked my local babies r us and they did not have this stroller in stock either. I figured though that I would take the plunge and I have been nothing but thrilled.
I know people complain about the weight but this is not an umbrella stroller - its a double stroller. The quattro tour single stroller is heavy and I don’t think this one is that much heavier. I have no trouble steering this stroller…turns on a dime. I had the graco safe seat infant seat that I used in the back seat and put the older baby up front (per the instructions). I will say that the front seat couldn’t recline with the infant seat in place but not sure if that is the case if you use the snug ride infant seat instead of the safe seat (the safe seat is bigger since it holds babies up to 1 year). My older boy likes being able to look around and doesn’t mind being strapped in. He likes the little snack holder (perfect for goldfish crackers).
The new baby is just now starting to ride in the back seat not in the infant seat and so far we are having no issues. I like the dual cup holders for the adults although I’m not overly pleased with the little fanny pack holder vs. a hard compartment like on the single stroller - it does hold a cell phone or some car keys. The baskets underneath are all very easy to access - especially with the drop down feature of the back basket.
In the end this stroller is very sturdy, easy to assemble and super stylish. Easy to turn, easy to fold and fits easily into the back of my minivan (behind the seats). I’d buy it again if I had to.
