| sanctus's Full Review: Graco Duo Rider |
I started to write a positive review of the Graco Duo Rider. I have one. I use one. Hey, I really *wanted to like this. But I found that I just couldn't.
Don't get me wrong. I use mine all the time. I have an 8 month old, a 3 year old, and a 4 year old, and we walk everywhere. This is the stroller I use for trips to the mall, the library, walks around town. Unfortunately, everytime I tried to praise the Graco Duo Rider, I found myself forced to add "but" to the sentence.
The independently reclining seats are awesome, but....the seat covers are held on by a flimsy strip of velcro and are constantly coming loose.
The seat belts are really nice, two side straps hooking into a center crotch guard, but.......the safety bars that go across the seats broke in less than 2 weeks.
It's really comfortable for the kids for a shopping trip, but......it's too wide to go look at any merchandise.
It's great for walks with the kids, but......it's hard to turn, and even harder to get up on a curb after crossing the street.
It fits through standard doors, but......just barely, so you're always scraping one side or the other.
I really wanted to like this stroller, but I have to say, it looks a lot more like I'm just used to putting up with stuff that doesn't do what it should.
