Customer Reviews
LOVE THIS DOUBLE STROLLER!!!!
I had previously purchased the Combi Counterpart tandem stroller when I had a second child. Twice in the span of 2 months the wheels BENT after folding up the stroller! What a hunk of junk!!!!
So I invested a little more money & after MUCH research ended up buying the brand new Baby Planet Unity stroller. Holy Cow - it ROCKS! The steering is amazing (think one-handed steering!) and it just feels really substantial. It's a bit on the heavy side - around 25 lbs - but to me that's so worth it for all the quality you get. It's about 2-3 lbs heavier than the Maclaren Twin Techno but has a much better handlebar. I test drove both of them myself and really just loved this one better over all.
Great double stroller!!!
I bought this stroller for my recent trip to Disney World with my 3 1/2 year old & almost 2 year old. I needed a new double stroller b/c they were just getting too big for the Graco Duoglider. My son kept pulling my daughter's hair & kicking her in the back. Plus he was just too big to really fit in that back seat anymore. I also wanted something more compact to travel with. They rent strollers in Disney but for the price I would've spent while I was there, it paid for 1/2 the stroller. Plus the ones at Disney are plastic so they really don't look very comfortable & I wanted my son to nap every day.
I did a lot of research into which stroller to get. I wanted one with a high weight limit since my daughter is going on 4. This one holds 55 lbs in each seat plus 10 lbs in the baskets. Believe me it holds even more than that. I wanted a lighter stroller. This one is about 27 lbs which isn't the lightest but it is more compact than the Duoglider so it is a lot easier to lift up. The weight really wasn't an issue for traveling.
I wanted a stroller with storage. This one has 2 decent size baskets on the bottom. I was able to fit my diaper bag which isn't tiny on 1 side & another bulky bag on the other. Plus there are bars which go across underneath the main part of the baskets. Under those bars I was able to fit our lightweight jackets & some other small items. Plus having the center handle on top makes it easy to drape bags over it. We definitely utilized every inch of this stroller on our trip. The cupholders are also a nice addition which some other strollers do not offer. We made sure we removed them before we checked the stroller at the gate.
My children love the stroller. It was nice getting a new stroller b/c my 3 1/2 year old will find any excuse not to sit in one. She liked the fact that she could get in & out of it when she wanted to. She also loves sitting next to her brother. I love the 5 point harness straps. They are so much simpler than the DuoGlider's. They kept my son in even when he squirmed his way out of the shoulder straps, he still was held in by the waist ones. Plus you only need one hand to release the straps. The seats seem very comfortable. The canopies work well. They pop off in the center every so often but we kept opening & closing the stroller & we kept the jackets on the bottom so we don't know if maybe that was why. They are easy to get back on though. They don't completely block the sun. It would be nice if they weren't attached int he back so you could put them lower at times. The seats almost recline to fully flat. My son took a nap everyday in the stroller. My daughter who never naps period, also napped in this stroller. The only thing is that I had to remove the bags from the basket in order to have the seats fully reclined but then I was able to hang both bags over the top handle.
The forward middle wheel seems like a great idea too. I never walked into the wheel. When testing the strollers in the store, I purposely took a longer stride & did notice with the McClaren you did hit into the wheel. I don't know if this would really be a selling point but it seems like a nice feature. I also do love the center handle. It is not easy to steer with 1 hand when I had the stroller fully loaded but when one or both of the children were not sitting it was very easy to do it with 1 hand. Plus I find that when I am stopped with the stroller I like to lean on it which you would not be able to do with the McClarens.
The stroller folds pretty compactly. It is a little tight when you first get it & probably does really need to be broken in. We opened & folded it a ton of times on this trip. It is easy to do it quickly but you do need both hands free. Opening it is a little more difficult b/c there are 2 locks on both sides that you have to open so it is a little awkward to do it by yourself. You also have to push the stroller forward at the same time. I am sure with more practice it will get easier. My husband didn't really seem to have a problem. The wheel locks on the stroller are also so easy to do. My Duoglider used to be so difficult to unlock. This one is not.
I just love the stroller. I am so happy I purchased it. I needed a new stroller but was hesitant b/c of my daughter's age. I still felt that she was too young for me to go to a mall by myself & have her walking while still having my son in a stroller. I think this will give us more years to have her safely in a stroller when we go out. I purchased the charcoal color which is a very nice looking stroller. I only wish I purchased it years ago.
I really like this stroller
I did tons of research before purchasing this... I could find only limited info on both the company website and customer reviews. I emailed the company with some questions and received a reply within hours. This stroller is better than any I tested in the stores including maclaren and peg perego. It can be stiff opening and closing but it certainly isn't difficult. I am 5'4" and barely 100 lbs and I have no problem with it in and out of the trunk. The center wheel is slightly ahead of the others in the rear and really makes a difference as far as not tripping over it. Even my husband has commented that it's easier to push than our peg perego. I took the belly pads off because they kept falling off but it's fine because most strollers don't come with them anyway. And it really does fit right through a standard door. I have a 2 year old and 7 month old. They both fit comfortably. I really am pleased with the stroller and would recommend it.
