Graco Quattro Tour Duo Stroller


I was a little nervous about preordering this without seeing it but decided to take the chance. I had the Graco Duo Glider with my first two children which served us well. I gave it away to someone who really needed it and then found I pregnant again! Therefore, I was planning to get the Duo Glider again and then saw this one. This is much more stylish than the Duo Glider and compared to the Duo Glider we had, better features such as:
-two cup holders for the parents, fanny pack attachment for other things
-basket that can be accessed while infant seat in recline
-cup holders for the front toddler seat (rather than the tray that I had to always open and close for my toddler) so he can just get in and out easily
-shocks on the wheels for more comfort (my husband thought this was cool)
- window that can be opened to see into infant seat from above
-storage tray for toddler items under his seat
-better handles for parents

Overall, I really like it and like it even better than the Duo Glider. I was prepared for the weight of the stroller because the Duo Glider is also somewhat heavy. However, I had no problem with the weight of the Duo Glider getting it in and out and the Quattro Duo is comparable in weight. Therefore, if you realize a double stroller is not going to be light, it really is not extraordinarily heavy (and I am no body builder!).
