Strolling for a Stoller
Whether you are actively trying, currently pregnant or have already delivered, a stroller is probably on your must have list of things to purchase for your new addition.
There are many great stroller options out there to fit any and every mother’s needs. Some things to consider before purchasing a stroller would be:
- Budget or price
- Number of children needing transportation
- Storage ability
- Size
- Maneuverability
2 Under 2
My second child was preplanned. By that I mean my fiancé and I decided we were ready for him and actively were trying to conceive.
Shortly after he was born, we unintentionally conceived my youngest son when my second was only 5 months old.
What a surprise!
We had already had 2 strollers and car seat sets as my son was the first boy for both of our families and somehow, we were blessed with 3 baby showers for him.
However, with a new baby on the way, the single stroller was no longer going to work and so the search began.
Graco Stroller
I have always heard wonderful things about the Graco brand. With my daughter, we only used their products and I have nothing negative to say about them.
Since I had experience with them in the past, they were the first for me to go check out.
I knew when searching for a double stroller there were really two looks that I could choose from. Either the side-by-side or the one in front of the other.
I learned quickly that the side-by-side stroller was not compatible with a car seat which would be required for my newborn that was coming.
The next important consideration was price. My wallet and I had a conversation in advanced about the potential price as this was for two children, so I knew what to expect.

There she was!

Here is what some people are saying:
Why I Love this Stroller
If you purchase compatible car seats, you can snap two in for those who have twins. For those with an infant and a toddler, you get to alternate where you want to put either child since both seats accept the car seat.
When you choose to put your infant in the top, there is a see-through screen where you can peek in at your child without letting any light in that may wake them from their nap. No one likes a grumpy baby.
Another benefit of this stroller is you can do a light jog without your wheels shaking terribly bad. For fit mamas, this is a great option as well.
Each seat has its own tray table and cup holder for the toddler years and they both are removable to add extra space when your infants become toddler. It definitely grows with your children.
This stroller gave me everything that I was asking for. Both of my baby boys were comfortable and 2.5 years later, they both still utilize it.
What I Would Change
As much as I love this stroller, I want to be honest about some of the things that take away from its greatness. I am very flexible so it is not much that I would want to change.
Size
Obviously, a double stroller is expected to be large however there are a handful of reviews where parents struggled to fit this in the trunk of their vehicle.
For me I did not have any problems. I have been able to fit this stroller in the trunk of my 2012 Nissan Altima and my 2017 Nissan Pathfinder.
Regarding my Altima, I did have to disconnect the front shade cover in order for it to fit, but it does snap in and out very easily. With my Pathfinder, I have 3 row seating and of the times I have had to utilize my 3rd row, I was able to still fit it in.
Price
This stroller is on the pricy end of baby travel equipment. Looking back, I must have caught this stroller on a super sale because my purchase price was $135 before tax.
Currently, this stroller is priced at $199 across the board. If you purchase from the actual Graco website, they are having a 20% off sale which would drop the price total down and save you about $40.
Good news is you also will get free shipping!

Do Your Research
Even though I recommend this stroller, please do your own research and find what works for you and your family.
Read reviews! I live by those, and they are going to reflect the truth of whatever you decide to purchase. Also know items can be returned if you change your mind or it is not what you were looking for.
Best of luck on your stroller search!
Always, Tiffany
