Product Description
The Baby Trend Snap-N-Go Stroller allows parents to place two infant car seats on carriage frame without removing child. It's a convenient alternative to a conventional carriage or stroller because it fits most major brand car seats, folds compactly for storage or travel with one hand fold and features and extra large storage basket.
Features:
Accepts two Baby Trend and most other manufacturer's infant car seats including: Graco Snug Ride, Evenflo Embrace, Peg Perego SIP2007, Britax Companion and Eddie Bauer
Comment: We have been using this stroller for 5 months with our twins and we love it. I can't imagine how we would ever have gotten out of the house without it. We have two Graco Snugride car seats that snap into it very easily. We just got a double Maclaren umbrella stroller for the next stage, and it doesn't fold up as easily as this one. We'll miss it when the twins outgrow their car seats.
Key positives:
--extremely easy to open and close; takes hardly any time and you can do it with just one hand
--light, folds down very compactly
--good storage space beneath
--steering/turning is very smooth
--two cup holders
--durable frame
I also highly recommend getting a "mommy hook" to go with this stroller. I can attach a couple of shopping bags to the stroller handle with the mommy hook and do grocery shopping. The stroller doesn't tip or suffer at all even with a couple of very heavy bags attached to the handle.

Summary: Thank you Baby Trend!! 2010-02-08
Comment: Hands down the best stroller for newborn twins!! When I first had my twins, I used the Graco DuoGlider monstrosity with the Safeseats. The seats were hard to get on the stroller and even harder still to get them off. So much for letting the baby sleep!
When I got this stroller I was in awe at how light it was, how little space it took up (in contrast to the Graco), how HUGE the basket was, and how easy it was to use.
The car seats just snap on, buckle in, and you're ready to go. (My model also had straps to secure the seats, I can't tell if this one does or not) It seriously lives up to it's name!!
I didn't have the problem other reviewers have with the babies being smushed...my son was quite large & he never had any issues. However, we did learn the hard way to make sure you load the baby nearest you first and unload him/her last. The stroller WILL tip if you don't do it in the right order.
The only complaint is that you feel like the engineer of a train...it's pretty long!! But easy to cope with for the convenience it provides!

Summary: Essential gear for a parent of twins 2010-01-11
Comment: This stroller is a simple metal-and-plastic frame which is light and collapsible (fits in the trunk of a Mini Cooper), and designed to hold two car seats. Some assembly required; cross bars need to be screwed in place with locations determined by the make and model of your car seat (and the instructions for this take a little deciphering). But at least until the twins fit into a larger stroller, this makes for an ideal way to walk them around. And the stroller has handled cobblestone streets, snow and ice without any difficulty. The bin underneath the stroller also comes in handy, though it's a little hard to access when the car seats are in place.
But for the ability to carry twins in style, it's essential gear for at least the first six months.

Summary: Good, low cost alternative. Hard to steer. 2009-12-30
Comment: We bought this to use with the peg perego car seats. While it does the job, it is very cumbersome to steer. Also, if you're on the smaller side, it's neearly impossible to get moving. I actually grunt while pushing off. Still, it's so inexpensive compared to the peg perego tandem. I'd have to say that I'd probably buy it again. Here are a few other twin things that I could not live without:
The Joovy Room2 playpen
2 Nap Nannys in camel color(fit perfectly inside of bassinets I used for a week)
2 Boppy fullsize swings. I have the travel version, but the babies just don't like it. ???
2 Angelcare monitors. These detect every breath the babies take.
Medela Pump in Style Advanced Breastpump. Three babies later, it's still going strong.
Medela microwave steam clean bags
Williams Sonoma automatic soap dispenser-- I must wash my hands a zillion times a day.
Any baby bouncer.
zippered sleepers---please!
mary jane and johnny socks are better than shoes
loved baby brand knit caps in every color
bulb syringe
a digital thermometer
baby nail clippers
tons of very lightweight bath towels to use with one hand
Things I really hated, or just didn't work well:
Baby wipes warmers. They never quite warm them and the wipes dry out quickly.
All baby bathtubs. We tried two, but find the sink to be so much cleaner and quicker. There is really no good place to store these besides the empty bathtub.
Snap-shut sleepers (I hate SNAPS!)
Newborn shoes. Both of our babies would kick these off before we were even out the door. The socks that look like little shoes are adorable. Plus, you'll get five pairs for the price of one.

Summary: Great for Twins 2009-12-24
Comment: We are having twins and had the car seats, we just didn't have the stroller. It was cheaper buying this instead of a double car stroller. We have 2 different car seats and they both are stable and worked great with the stroller.
Key positives:
--extremely easy to open and close; takes hardly any time and you can do it with just one hand
--light, folds down very compactly
--good storage space beneath
--steering/turning is very smooth
--two cup holders
--durable frame
I also highly recommend getting a "mommy hook" to go with this stroller. I can attach a couple of shopping bags to the stroller handle with the mommy hook and do grocery shopping. The stroller doesn't tip or suffer at all even with a couple of very heavy bags attached to the handle.
