Pros: Lightweight. Inexpensive (relatively speaking). Cons: Can tip backwards. Just be watchful.
The Kolcraft Twin umbrella stroller is my top pick for a two-kid ride. I had this stroller when my boys were little, and I bought the same one (but updated a bit) for my sister. If you do have twins or if you have a toddler and a new baby, then you’ ...
Pros: Extremely lightweight Cons: Small wheels and not very durable
Certainly, you have purchased a product that once used, it greatly disappointed you. You may have found yourself saying, " wow, what a waste of money!!" During these times, I get angry at the company passing the item off to the consumer as...
Pros: Folds up nicely and easily, lightweight. Cons: Hard to push with one hand, comes with little storage.
I bought this stroller last summer for my two littlest ones, then ages 8 mo and 2 1/2 years. We owned a double stroller that had the seats one behind the other, but I needed something that fit in my trunk better. I looked at several different...
Pros: Lightweight, convenient, maneuvers easily, compact, economical Cons: canopies too low for taller children, lacks cup holders, lacks storage area
Maybe you're one of those families who is "spur of the moment" and you just never know what you'll need and when. The Kolcraft Side-by-Side Reclining Umbrella stroller is perfect for such people. Just last week my wife noted again as we were taking a ...
Pros: Lightweight at only 12 lbs., easy to unfold and fold with child in arm. Cons: NO BASKET, Canopy is useless...does not protect baby from sun or rain.
The Kolcraft Reclining Umbrella Stroller is a lightweight stroller....weighing in at a little under ...
Pros: side by side seats, lightweight, easy to fold and folds compactly Cons: no storage
We purchased the Kolcraft Double reclining stroller for our recent trip to Walt Disney to be used by our 4 year old and 21/2 year old. We have a bulkier stroller with the front and back seats but we wanted a lightweight double stroller that reclined and...
Pros: lightweight, inexpensive, easy to fold, relatively well padded Cons: no basket, doesn't fully recline and not as sturdy or comfy as the expensive brands
We live on the Upper West Side of New York City, where it's well known that Your First Stroller Will Be A Peg Perego and Your Second Stroller Will Be A Maclaren. I can't tell you how many people have nodded sagely as they told me this.
Pros: Children can sit next to one another, lightweight Cons: Cumbersome when folded, generally unhandy: steering, pushing, storage
Should you find yourself with two children still in the stroller stage you'll probably find yourself investing in a double stroller of some sort. Your options are essentially two (with some variations on the themes):
Pros: lightweight, easy to use, Cons: don't know of any
I bought the Kolcraft reclining umbrella stroller as a spare second stroller to keep in my car. Well, ever since I got it, it has been my primary stroller. I have packed away my fullsized stroller and can't imagine using it again. My son is 11 months...
I have two young children and while I have a double stroller that I take when I know we are going somewhere we need it, I needed something for those spontaneous side trips where we didn't want to chase two young children around. The umbrella stroller...
Pros: Lightweight, only 12 lb. Cons: Made for a small child (in my opinion), bends easily
While visiting a "baby web site" for the first time with a $20 coupon I came across the Kolcraft Reclining Umbrella Stroller. I was interested in this stroller because I needed a smaller stroller and it reclined...A PLUS!
Pros: seats two and steers easily Cons: no storage area
I purchased this lightweight double stroller when I was pregnant with my third baby. Now, I use it with my three year old and my three month old. It's lightweight, easy to stroll, and seats two children of different sizes comfortably. I have been...
Pros: lightweight, assembly, back support Cons: folding, no basket, wheels too small
My baby can already hold his head up and we have a stroller frame where you can attach the car seat to so I thought it is time to purchase a lightweight stroller. We got spoiled with the weight of the stroller frame so we did not even consider getting a...
Pros: lightweight, has a canopy, good support in seat and backrest, easy to maneuver Cons: no basket, lever to collapse stroller hard to use if you are wearing bulky shoes
Our first stroller was part of a travel system and it was huge and hard to maneuver in stores, doctors' offices, etc. I'd finally had it when my son was 5 months old and I couldn't wait to put the big stroller in the closet to collect dust.
I bought an umbrella stroller when I finally was tired of lugging around a nineteen month old and his large stroller. I did no prior research (just how much research do you need for an umbrella stroller?) I just...
I purchased this stroller online with a discount (thank goodness) because my kids get tired on long outings and want to nap and regular umbrella strollers don't let them nap comfortably, since their heads fall forward.
Pros: Compact and easy to open and close. Cons: No storage compartment.
My husband and I were looking for an umbrella stroller for our 3 month old daughter for those times when her bigger 3-in-1 stroller wouldn't be practical. After much searching, we finally found the Kolcraft Reclining Umbrella Stroller.
With having four kids,the first three had the huge strollers that laid back and had the accessories and also had an umbrella stroller. This was a hassle because in those umbrella strollers a small baby would end up all hunched down and uncomfortable.Then...
Pros: size, weight, price Cons: hard to find retail
I did considerable research before buying an umbrella-type stroller for my almost two-year old son. I looked at all the major companies that sold umbrellas for less than $50 before settling on the Kolkraft Reclining Umbrella. So far it's lived up to...
Pros: Lightweight stroller. Individually reclining seats. Cons: No storage area. Wheels sometimes difficult to turn.
The Kolcraft side by side umbrella stroller has been a God send for my husband and I. We have one year old twins and this stroller has worked out well for us. The stroller is wide enough for the children to comfortably sit, yet the dimensions are small...
Pros: Sturdy frame and wheels, back support, corners great, smooth ride, great value for the price. Cons: No storage bag, seat doesn't recline as far as it should.
I got this stroller on a promotion as well, and ended up paying less than $20. Definitely worth the money! Now granted I do not use it on a daily basis, it has been a year and it is still in like new condition. But I have taken it to the local park ...
Pros: Light weight, comfortable cloth, reclines, sun canopy, very maneuverable and compact Cons: None
I originally purchased an Okie Dokie umbrella stroller, but was so dissatisfied with it for so many reasons. I really wanted an umbrella stroller than had a sun canopy, so I kept up my search.
I fell in love with the Kolcraft stroller! It's...
Pros: Comfortable handles, cup holder, nice canopy, back support, reclining seat option, substantial wheels, Cup holder!!!! Cons: No basket, but no umbrellas do. The mesh bag is sufficient/standard for umbrella strollers.
It's a great stroller for a great price. Can't go wrong with this one. Much more comfortable than ...
Pros: inexpensive, easy to fold, has 2 positions, cute print Cons: no storage
This is a lightweight umbrella-type stroller that retails for about $30. I actually got mine with a webpromotion and only paid for shipping. I probably wouldn't have bought it for $30 and would have just bought one of those really cheapies at Kmart for...
Pros: Lightweight, durable, great turning radius. Cons: No storage.
It kept going and going and well, you get the idea. I bought this stroller used at a garage sale for $10 and it was the best deal I ever got. I bought it before we even had another child because I wanted more room to put things, plus it was lighter...
I really like this Kolcraft stroller alot. I mean, it does have its good features and its bad. It is very easy to fold up, it is very lightweight, it takes up very little space in the back of my van and if you are out shopping and your baby falls asleep,...
I think the Kolcraft Reclining Umbrella Stroller is great because it reclines. Many umbrella strollers do not recline and when the babies fall asleep their necks are all uncomfortable. This stroller is padded on the back of seat which makes it even...
Pros: Inexpensive, sturdy, easy-fold, reclining(!) Cons: no basket
We bought this stroller after doing extensive on-line research, including on this site. The bambina had gotten too big for the Snap n Go LX we'd come to love, and we really wanted an easy to carry, easy to pack, and easy to open and close umbrella...
Pros: Compact, lightweight, maneuverable, economical Cons: No basket, a little tricky to fold up.
I have only had this stroller for about a month. Thus far, I am thrilled with it. I had a very hard time finding an affordable small stroller with a reclining back-- I needed the reclining feature for my youngest child who is three months old.
...
Pros: Lightweight, more features than other umbrella stroller, more compact than the full size models Cons: heavier than other umbrella strollers; no cupholder
We bought this stroller because unlike the full-sized stroller, this is compact enough to just leave in the back of our vehicle. Our daughter loves it because it gives her a better view of her surroundings than her full size stroller does. When she...
Pros: good cheap stroller Cons: not as sturdy or comfortable as the more cumbersome strollers
I own 5 strollers and each of them has served a different purpose. This Kolraft reclining umbrella stroller was bought by me to keep in my car when I might have one of my kids along and we are running an errand or two. This stroller is not very...
Pros: Light, reclining, comfy Cons: no basket storage
The Kolcraft reclining umbrella stroller is far superior to your standard umbrella strollers. I was looking for a stroller that was compact, light, and easy to maneuver. What I found was that and so much more.
Pros: Great lightweight umbrella stroller Cons: Handles seem too short
I purchased my umbrella stroller online and only paid eleven dollars for it. What a great buy! It has much more support for the back and bottom than other umbrella strollers do and there is a sun shade canopy that you can either fold behind the stroller...
Pros: Recline feature, excellent support for baby, price Cons: no basket
I bought this stroller for two reasons: it has the recline feature, and it was cheap! It has exceeded my expectations, so much so that we bought a second one to leave at my daughter's babysitter's house.
This was a disappointing purchase. It is heavy! Yes! Heavy. It comes with no basket to carry anything (and we all know moms have lots to carry). The sunshade is too high to provide any real sun protection. It tips easily (so you can't put a bag on...
I own 2 strollers. One is a Graco full size stroller and this is the other one. I use the Graco when I go to the mall and stuff like that when I need the full size one, but on little trips to the store this is great! It's very small and compact. The...
Pros: convenient, sturdy, durable Cons: clip that holds stroller closed is tough.
I purchased this stroller when my daughter was 13 months old. We were planning a road trip from Philadelphia to Atlanta to visit friend and needed a stroller that did not take up 60% of our trunk space. I saw those flimsy umbrella strollers in sale...
Pros: Lightweight, Easy to fold, Durable, the best value! Cons: Not as plush as some of the other strollers.
I bought this side-by-side stroller specifically to travel to Europe, and have used it for many trips. What a great buy! This stroller is light, easy to fold, and gives both children a view. I have a 4 year old, and a one year old, both of whom like...
Pros: Light weight, durable, easy to use Cons: None
I purchased the Kolcraft side by side reclining umbrella stroller last winter when preparing for a vacation to Disney world. At the time our sons were ages 1 and 2 and we need something light weight and small.
Pros: Lightweight, easy to use, folds compactly Cons: Not easy to push when handle is in reverse position
I recently purchased a Kolcraft single stroller and I love it! I have 3 children and have used many strollers and this one is by far the best. It has quite a few neat features.
First of all, the handle adjusts to different levels. I can...
Pros: A delight to push, easy to travel and store away. Cons: I found this stroller to be to wide for many store isle's and doorways.
I enjoyed my side by side stroller it was easy to push, balanced well under rocky terrain, and held its own when it had to be cleaned, a wet cloth would do the job most times. The price was also a big plus, I thought this unit was very affordable.This...
Pros: More compact than most doubles Cons: Too heavy, no storage
I shopped extensively for a double stroller for my kids that are 18 months apart. This was the best alternate I could find for under $100. It would be great if they could lighten it up some (for example - the padded seats are nice but probably...
Pros: Softer Seat; Reclines; Sunshade; Longer Handles than other umberella strollers Cons: no storage
We brought this product last year when our son was 4 months old, and we realized then a traditional umbrella stroller had limited use if it didn't recline and offered no shade. This paid for itself on our first trip as far as I'm concerned, we used it...
Pros: Lightweight, portable Cons: Not durable, lasted less than a year
We purchased two Kolcraft reclining strollers for our twins less than a year ago. Although they are lightweight, we have found that parts have broken easily, including the mechanism which allows the stroller to fold, the clip that holds the stroller...
Pros: It folds with no problem!!!! Cons: You can't get through certain mall doors.
I bought this stroller because it folds just like the umbrella stroller and it is almost the same weight as the folding umbrella strollers. I love this stroller because my girls love to sit next to each other and while i shop they play because they are...
This is my 3rd purchased umbrella stroller & by far my favorite. I love the fabric, and the fact that it reclines. Most umbrella strollers do not recline at all so this was a major advantage to me. I used this for an infant as young as 8 weeks old in...
Pros: Nice if you have kids around the same age Cons: No where to put things
When my second son got to the age where he could sit up we decided that it was time that we bought a double side by side stroller. This stroller was the cheapest one that we saw for how long we thought we were going to be using it.
I liked the...
Pros: Lightweight Cons: Does not do well on uneven sidewalks.
I bought this stroller as a second stroller for short errands and for when my trunk is to full for the Graco. I love it. I love that it reclines and that it has a strong firm back support that is missing in other strollers. It is easy and light and folds...
Pros: Compact when folded, reclines for younger infants Cons: Only just fits through doors, no storage, not suitable for a newborn
I'm weird! Why you ask? I can't drive that's all. So, when I was expecting my second child I needed to buy a lightweight double stroller. It had to be bus friendly (well as friendly as strollers get), not too expensive as my older child won't need it...
I thought I had done some thorough researching when I purchased this stroller for my son, but learned that the ONLY way to determine a good stroller is by taking it for a road test. I was impressed by the attractive pattern of the cloth cover and the...
Pros: Sturdy, well built Cons: very difficult to open
We bought this stroller secondhand at "Once Upon a Child". We paid $50 for it used. It has been a good, sturdy stroller for us. it has a reclining area for the baby to sit/lay on. There is a flap you can pull up to see the baby through the...
This stroller is SO nice. It takes a split second to snap it open, and it's just as easy to close. Our son, who is 2 weeks short of 1 year old, LOVES to ride in this stroller. It seats him very comfortably, and when he dozes off, the seat reclines so...
Pros: Easy to maneuver Cons: Just a little awkward in the trunk.
When I was surprised by my third child and only 14 months apart I knew It was time to look for a double stroller. I looked at the one that is back to front but already could see some problems with that. Well I did find one of those at a yard sale and...
Pros: light and easy to use Cons: hard to push in the grass
I started out using one of those big heavy bulky strollers. They would have been good for an all day trip with my daughter. It was just to big and heavy for me to put in the car everyday. After shopping for a smaller stroller, I purchased the Kolcraft...
Pros: economical, easy to use and lightweight Cons: wheels could be sturdier
This twin umbrella stroller is a wonder. I have a four year old and a two year old who like to be strolled around town. I recently purchased the Kolcraft twin umbrella stroller because we were going on vacation to Disney World and I didn't want to...
Pros: Inexpensive, easy to use and fold Cons: Isn't extremely durable
I bought this Kolcraft stroller when babystyle.com was having their terrific $20 off any purchase over $20.01. I ended up paying $10.00 or so for it. I have to say that it was probably one of the better buys I've made -- I'm a real bargain shopper and...
Pros: It reclines and is easy to move about. Cons: It does not have cup holders or a place to store shopping bags or a diaper bag.
When my daughter turned 6 months I couldn't wait to get a nice lightweight umbrella stroller. I purchased this particular stroller because it was the only one I found that reclined and also it's price, (I paid about $25). This stroller is the best...
Pros: lightweight, compact, easy to fold/open, looks good. Cons: Just fits through doors/cash checkouts (wheels must be straight) No basket
I had this Stroller for a little under a year. During that time I enjoyed the lightweight frame and its ability to fold and open easily with one hand on the stroller and the other holding my twin boys.
Decent stroller for the price by diana_mayer ,Nov 30 '03
Pros: price, size Cons: not as maneuverable as my other double, heavy
I bought this stroller for my 8-month-old and 2-year-old. I needed a stroller to keep in the back of the car. (I have a Mountain Buggy Urban Double as my main stroller, but it's worth too much $$$ to leave it sitting in the back of the car!) The Kolcraft doesn't steer as well as my Mountain Buggy, and at the mall I found myself wishing I had just brought the bigger stroller. The Kolcraft is also pretty heavy for an umbrella stroller. But it's a good stroller for quick errands or traveling.
Pros: Lightweight and easy to use. Cons: I feel that it is not made for larger children.
I purchased this stroller for my 9 month old daughter. My husband and I wanted a light weight stroller because we were going to the Bahamas for a vacation. Well- this stroller has been to the Bahamas, the Dominican Republic and I am now using for my second child who is two. I love this stroller. It replaced my $300 Perego stroller. It is worth every penny. The only thing that I feel I should point out is that my daughters are light weight and somewhat petite.
Pros: light, easy to handle! Cons: hard to push with one hand.
I had gotten this stroller when my baby girl turned 6 months old and my son was almost 4, but he did not want to walk anywhere. So i found this stroller and it was a great price , very light and easy to handle! fits in the door ways !
Recommended Stroller for Two Stroller-Age Kids by jen_nay6 ,Feb 01 '06
Pros: lightweight, easy maneuverability, folds compactly, can steer one-handed, great stroller Cons: limited storage
This is definitely worth the $$. I had a tandem, but wasn't happy with the bulkiness and the weight of it and went out on a limb and bought this stroller. I wanted one that would fit through doors easily (as this one does) had enough room for my 2 year old and my 10 month old and just enough room for cups and small snacks. There are two small 'bags' on the backs of the seats where we store their cups and snacks as well as a couple extra diapers. As for extra clothes and more than a couple diapers each, there are bags that you can buy that attach directly to the stroller. I have had no problems with this stroller and intend to use it for as very long as I possibly can. My kids love it, I love it, my husband loves it. I couldn't have asked for a better side by side stroller! Major kudos to Kolcraft!
Good for quick outings, but not the best for regular use by emilypeanut ,Mar 02 '04
Pros: Easy to fold, lightweight and reclines enough for toddlers to nap Cons: virtually no storage, tips easily
Generally good for a secondary stroller, for a quick walk through the store or something fast, but if you want a stroller good for long outings or shopping trips its best to look elsewhere. The storage included consists of two small mesh bags hanging off the back of each seat, so if you put even a heavy purse inside the stroller is in danger of tipping backwards. Folds up nicely, and is lightweight though, so if you just want a simple umbrella stroller without perks this is a reasonable buy for a good price.
