4.5 Stars for a Near Perfect Stroller Jun 27, 2010
By Nicolette Clark
With a seven year old and twin two year olds, I have spent a small forturne in strollers over the years. I have a BOB double stroller that is wonderful in every way but takes up 3/4 of the space in my mini-van. I thought I would see if there was an affordable umbrella stroller out there that would handle active twins. I took a gamble on this one folks and let me tell you, I am SO happy with it!! It is extremely easy to fold up and down and it takes up hardly any space. It will hold EACH child up until 50 pounds. The straps are made so that they easily come apart from the main buckle so no flalling arms get caught when taking out your children. The seats recline individually and there is adequate storage space underneath. It was simple enough for a busy mom of twins to put together (just snap on the wheels and go). The only flaws are that there are no cup holders and the awnings are not adjustable. I am tall (5'10) and I don't have to hunch over to push this and it glides and takes turns like a dream. I would be surprised if anyone would be disappointed with this one.

 perfect for us! Sep 29, 2011
By Karen L Baker
I am so glad I purchased this stroller. I have a 3 and 5 year old that get tired when we do a lot of walking. They always fought over the single stroller and my husband got to pack the other kid. I finally found this and it's the answer to our problems!
Child weight: They are 42 and 44 lbs respectively and it's not any problem for me to push them in this stroller.
Child height: Their weight is not an issue, and their heights are not an issue. As far as some have said with the black thin fabric over the head and tall kids not fitting, I disagree. It flattens down a little and you could put a blanket behind their head to smooth it over if need be. Not a big deal by any means.
The hood: I really was expecting this to be a doozy by the way people were talking in reviews. I have to say I totally disagree. Please take into consideration that this is an umbrella stroller and is meant to fold up compact. I think the hoods are great. They don't have to be removed in order to fold up the stroller. That is a huge plus for me.
Some pros:
*It fits through even the skinniest doorways I have encountered.
*It is heavier, that is a bonus for me b/c when the kids walk, I don't want my big heavy diaper bag or shopping bags tipping it over backwards. And it's not too heavy that I can't pick it up. It's just right.
*Sturdy and strong for big kids.
*It turns and glides better than my peg perego single stroller. That thing pushes horrible so this is a nice breath of fresh air.
*Folds up compact like an umbrella stroller and takes up minimal space. I have a large vehicle but with 4 kids there isn't a lot of trunk space since we use all 3 rows of seating. This is perfect.
*Super easy to take down and stow away.
*Setting it up is easy, just push down on the kick lever firmly.
*Kids get to sit beside each other. Even though mine are 2 years apart they are like twins/best friends. It's fun for them.
*reasonable price point
I think that is about all. No cons for me yet. You can't wish for cup holders, trays, perfect hoods, etc in an umbrella stroller. You have to compare apples to apples! Highly recommend this stroller.

Quite the back saver! Mar 09, 2010
By L. Scott
The Twin IPO Stroller replaces our previous Graco Quattro Tour Duo Stroller and has well exceeded my requirements! When my grandbabies were little, having the "Winnebago" version to push around wasn't much of a problem but it was too large to fit into my trunk and so was mostly limited to walks around the neighborhood. But now that my kiddos are 3 years and almost 2 years old, I needed a stroller that could keep up with my high energy day! The Twin IPO Stroller is it! It is sturdy and offers the kids a comfortable ride. But the biggest pleaser is it's maneuverability! It starts, stops and swearves without any effort on my part! It opens and closes without any effort as well. It is a bit heavy to lift, but doable, and fits nicely in the trunk of my Audi A4. I miss having the snack and drink cups of the other stroller, but I have adapted a small backpack to carry the juice and snack containers in. All in all, its a very nice stroller at a great price!

Awesome stroller! Oct 08, 2010
By Carrie H
I love this stroller! It is sturdy with lots of storage underneath. It turns beautifully. I love how easy pushing the stroller is, despite the weight difference between my 5 month old and 3 year old. I bought this without seeing it in person, but I was not disappointed. The only cons to this stroller are that it is quite heavy, and there is no parent cupholder. Even though it is heavy, it folds up nicely and is not bulky or awkward to carry. I had originally purchased the Baby Trend Sit and Stand Double, but that thing was awful to push, turn, and fold. My 3 year old can get out of this just as easily as the Sit and Stand, but he also has the option to recline and get comfy, too! This stroller is well made and comfortable, unlike most double strollers in a similar price range. I am really happy with my purchase.

 Not For The Sun! Mar 16, 2011
By Eric W. Slavin
Bought for twins to replace a double car seat frame stroller. For the price I was hoping for a little more of everything. It is HARD to open: it unlocks and opens from a folded position to 3/4 open easily, but then there is this LITTLE foot lever meant to "lock" the stroller open. My foot slips off every time, eventually I have to use my hands and some creativity to lock it open. As for the storage space; I had to change diaper bags to something very small and carry bottles in a differant bag, and there is no room for anyting else! Also, as seem to be the case with many "umbrella" strollers there is no cup holder for mom or dad. And, you can not use just one hand to push this along so you can't carry anything either. All of these are little things that add up to it being an okay stroller, maybe worth three stars.
The reason I gave it two stars is that the SUN SHADES ARE RIDICULOUS!! The design is faulty in that they aren't really attached, they just "snap" into place, but they give you the impression that you can pull them forward to adjust the direction of the shade (if you have a Graco car seat think about how you can direct that shade, you CAN'T do that with this stroller, but the design makes you think you can), but they fall off because in reality they have two positions, opened and closed. If this was the only problem it might be okay, but they provide NO SHADE for the boys, the tops of their heads, the sides of their faces, their necks are all exposed to the sun. My boys little hats are the only shade they get when riding in this stroller. We live in AZ and shade is important, even just walking from the car into a building. This also means if they fall asleep inside, the second you take them outside they are blasted with sunlight for an unpleasent wake-up. Or if I'm by myself, I have to load one boy into the stroller, and leave him exposed while I load in the other one. There may be places where this isn't is big deal but if you live anywhere with some sun and temperatures over 85* look for something better. I would never buy this stroller again.
