Good stroller for 2 young kids Feb 08, 2010
By Stephanie
I am not one to review items, but I had such a hard time choosing a double stroller that I thought I'd share my experience. My children are 15 months apart and when I started looking for a double stroller that would meet all of my needs (especially with my PegPerego infant car seat), I had the hardest time. I borrowed my sister-in-laws Joovy to see if that would work for me before I bought it. It absolutely didn't. First the infant car seat attachment was fine, but when I used that my 15 month old couldn't sit on the bench. And being so young it was way too hard to either have him hold on and stand or not run away from me at the mall (which he is at the age that he thinks that's funny). He's really too young to ride on the bench even when it is accessible. So then I considered getting a Joovy triple with 2 seats, but the thought of such a long stroller was awful and I read that a lot of people had trouble fitting it in their trunks.
So I tried out this stroller, bought it and I love it. It is easy to push (even with 50 pounds of kids/car seat (my now 18-mo old is 29 lbs. plus my 3 month old and car seat). The canopy adjusts which is nice for my 95th percentile child and its comforable for everyone when the car seat is attached. I'd read before other people mention it wasn't deep enough or long enough for their large children, but this seat is actually deeper than the Joovy and my son's legs fit just fine. The basket is great and I usually put my VERY large diaper bag inbetween the seats in the middle. A new feature is the cup holder for the kids which is great, but I wish they had a snack tray (which is why I only gave it 4 stars). Plus I love the parent tray/cup holder. The iPod dock thing is basically just speakers for your iPod, so don't get too excited about that new feature! I guess all I can say is that this stroller works for me!

 GREAT buy for the price! Feb 09, 2010
By K. Ford

I did TONS of research on the previous model, Kolcraft Contours Tandem, and I loved everything about it. So I was ready to buy the original model used from someone but then I found that they had a NEW model and had improved all the minor things that some of the ladies complained about the first model (canopy not tall enough, seats not deep enough, no cup holders for toddlers, etc.) So I couldn't bring myself to get the older model when the new model had fixed all the things that people wanted changed from the first model! But since it was a new model I would never be able to find it used...so I gave in and bought it new and WOW I love it! The wheels are my favorite part, super smooth and the front wheels turn on a dime! You have a million options for switching the seats and customizing them to your toddler or infant, this stroller is a dream come true for me. TONS of storage underneath also! I have no complaints, I love this stroller!

 Deceived Apr 01, 2010
By N. Ahlin
I read all the reviews and I'm wondering how no one has mentioned that the seats aren't high enough. I bought this stroller for my two and a half old and four month old. And when I laid my older son back to fall asleep on our walk home I saw that his head hangs over the top of the seat! How is a child supposed to sleep with a bar in the back of his head! And my son is not tall at all for his age. Why have such a high canopy, but a low seat back! Gonna try to return it. I really liked all the other features but i have to say that my kid not being able to sleep comfortably is a deal breaker.

Great double stroller!!! Jul 24, 2010
By MAY
Just had my third child, so I guess you'd say I'm an "experienced" mom and have gone through tons of strollers and baby products. We researched like crazy before buying this stroller, and I am thrilled with it. Here's my pros/cons list...
Pros: variable seat positions, carseat adapter fits almost any infant carseat (I have a Chicco Keyfit 30 and it fits just fine), cup holders, VERY sturdy frame, huge storage basket, handles very well, nice looking (I get complimented quite often about it)
Cons: no trays for snacks/toys, you have to remove one seat or the carseat adapter for it to fold (isn't a big deal once you get used to it though), doesn't fold down small (we have a van so we're fine with it, but if your car is small this might be impossible to get into your car).
Stuff that is common to all double strollers (other than umbrella ones): the are ALL heavy, they are ALL pretty big, and if you want something comfy for your kids its just gotta be a bit bulky. Someone complained that this was too long, but my word it's for 2 kids - it's gonna be long. If you prefer something compact I'd say get a Sit-N-Stand, or an umbrella stroller.
Anywho, highly recommended! Wonderful design.

Contours Tandem II Stroller Mar 03, 2010
By sriddlemk
"Sriddlemk"
I have worn out one double stroller and needed a new one. I looked at many strollers and finally decided on this one. I love it! As most reviews stated, it is heavier than smaller ones but I don't have any trouble with it. I feel that it is better quality and will last longer than the other one I had. I absolutely LOVE that both seats are full size w/full size canopies. The seats move easily and adjust with no problems. The only thing I would change is that it would be nice if the stroller folded down better with both seats attached. However, I would still purchase this same stroller again!
