Summary: converting back to toddler from newborn 2008-07-10
Comment: I just spent 45 min trying to clip the bottom clip to convert the sport back to a toddler position from newborn position. The straps for the bottom clip just WILL NOT reach. I am pretty strong - I carry around 2 kids all day long & I can't force them to reach to clip.
I have never been so frustrated with a piece of equipment in my life. My 2 yr old is screaming my baby is screaming and I am so irritated that I can't get this to convert I am about to throw the whole stroller out the window.

Summary: Looks Cool, But... 2008-03-01
Comment: I got this stroller after seeing it in use in Chamonix. I thought it looked like the perfect double for traveling and going out into the wild. So far the stroller is great as a stroller. Only thing is it is a bear to fold down and even worse to secure in the folded position. It is a bit heavy for me to lift into my van and it takes both hands and a foot to get it stowed. The brake also really sucks if you need to brake or unbrake in a hurry. It is a very rigid and slippery piece of bent metal so I have found it easier to just park it against something stationary instead of using the brake. The accessories are pricey and not too useful either. The handlebar bag is essentially a water bottle fanny pack with no real way to securely attach to the buggy. I was disappointed by that cause the girls need to have drinks on our outings so now I am left to carrying them like a fanny pack. Overall the ride is nice, the turn radius is excellent the size is great but the difficulty stowing and storing and the accessories make this a really expensive choice for travel.

Summary: The best double stroller available, but not perfect (yet) 2007-09-03
Comment: PROS:
- Can steer with one hand, even loaded down with two kids.
- Could jog with two kids, if I were inclined to.
- Front wheel can lock or can swivel.
- Maneuvers easily in tight spaces, even with two kids.
- Fits in the trunk of my Honda Accord.
- Can remove all three wheels if you need to fold it truly flat.
- When using with one child, roomy basket with good access.
- The main seat can lie completely flat.
- Looks cool (if you care about such things).
CONS:
- If you have a kid in the "rumble seat," you can't hang your diaper bag on the handle -- you end up knocking that kid in the head with it -- the bag has to go in the basket (or on your shoulder).
- Hard to access basket when the doubles seat is in use. Fortunately, my kids like to sit with their feet in a "V" rather than in front of them when sitting in the "rumble seat," as we call it -- which leaves more room in the basket.
- Heavy, and unweildy to fold/unfold.
- Does not fold with the doubles seat in place in the rear position -- you have to remove it -- which is not a big deal, but a minor design annoyance.
- Cumbersome to lock closed in folded position, but I don't need to do so often.
- Also, when I fold it, I end up resting it on the handle, which would have torn to shreds by now, except that I covered it with the cover from the "grab bar," and stopped using the "grab bar."
- No parent or child tray. (the BOB handlebar console fits well, though)
BOB Handlebar Console With Water Bottle Holders Black
BOTTOM LINE:
Has some drawbacks, but I feel it's the most maneuverable double stroller on the market, and hey, it fits in the trunk of my sedan.

Summary: LOVE THIS STROLLER 2007-08-14
Comment: This is the most expensive baby item we have purchased so far, but it is SO worth it!!! We LOVE this stroller! Our baby is 5 months old, and we have been using his Graco snugride car seat with the snap-in frame as our stroller - I wish we had gotten this (with the cocoon) and used it from the start. It is a really smooth ride, turns on a dime, is easy to get up and down stairs, and is super cool to boot! We bought the doubles kit, as we are currently in a nanny share with an older baby (and also plan to have another kid at some point pretty soon), and I envision this as being our only stroller purchase for the next 6 years. Our nanny - who has rejected another double stroller in the past for being too heavy and difficult to maneuver - took this out for the first time yesterday with the two babies and came back RAVING about it. Since our baby is younger, he gets the back seat - but he seems perfectly happy back there. And he'll get to move up to the front seat if/when he has a younger sibling.
Other plusses: We live in a small condo, and this one stroller will kill several birds with one space consuming stone. 1) It's really easy to convert from single to double, and the doubles kit is very compact. 2) You don't need a separate newborn stroller, as you can set this one up to lie flat. 3) You can even stroll with newborn plus toddler by putting the doubles kit on top of the flat newborn (great for when we have #2)! I think the only scenario it wouldn't work well for is twins, as the double set up assumes one larger baby and one smaller baby. All in all, I would highly recommend this stroller - particularly if you plan to expand the family and don't want to buy another stroller(s) down the line!

Summary: Best Stroller Ever 2007-05-02
Comment: I saw this in the airport and looked all over for it. I now have it in Red, with the double seat, the car seat attachment, and the caddy for the handle. This works great in all modes, I was able to easily maneuver it with two 1 year olds in a pumpkin patch with one hand.
