Graco - Ready2Grow 2.0 Double Stroller (2140042)

Less at home/to the store. Older one goes in the stroller or cart and baby is worn. However, we recently spent a week in DC/Maryland and we used it a lot more because it’s so much hotter there than we’re used to. We actually decided to get a better stroller after the trip. We were using the Graco double stroller (ready2grow). It worked fine when we were out walking. However, it’s a bit harder to steer, requiring two hands usually, and doesn’t take bumps well. The real struggle was fitting it in vehicles as well jumped around with family or rentals. It’s a little too wide and/or thick when folded. Something we thought the inline would avoid. So we’re looking at strollers and for traveling that fold down better. We still want it to fit through a door though. Who knows, won’t be cheap like you said.

At one point we had like 8 lol. They all have such different use cases! A city mini travel system we got when we had our first. Sold it once our 2nd baby was out of the infant car seat. We also had a Doona and loved that. Sold both when he got too big. We had a City Mini double (someone in my parents rich neighborhood was giving it away! And then they paid $$$ to ship it to us, lol.) that we just used around the neighborhood because it was too bulky and a pain to take in the car with the second seat. (Sold this one) A evenflo pivot stroller wagon we took around. A $50 costco wagon that folded up and fit in the car really well. For a while we stopped using the pivot because this one was just easier. A double umbrella we only used for traveling or kept in the trunk, it was a pain because it was short so the adult had to hunch to push. But it was small, we took it on planes to visit my parents. (Sold this one, kids are 6 and 3 now) A GB pockit amazing fold up tiny single stroller. Perfect for travel, took it to NYC and on a cruise. A urbini reversi single stroller, we kept that one even though we used it rarely because it was the only one that could recline super flat for the kid to sleep that had okay storage underneath. After we sold the big double stroller we decided to take the kids to Disney World and I realized wagons weren’t allowed. We considered taking 2 single strollers and quickly abandoned that idea and bought a Graco Sit and Stand double stroller on marketplace for $50 that we love and take with us when we go places like the Zoo and stuff now. Good storage, our older kid can stand or sit and hop on and off easily.

I don’t have the name on me now-after all of our tons of research we landed on a graco that includes an infant car seat and a regular stroller seat that converts into a bassinet. It is amazing to not have a separate bassinet, and you can even convert it to bassinet while the kid is in it if they fall asleep. Great basket size for carrying around lots of stuff.

We have the double Bob and the graco ready2grow - mine are 2&4 now but I still use them. The Bob is really wide which made it tough to use indoors (like at drs appts and shopping trips). The Graco is inline double and has so many different configurations. I was thinking of selling it until our latest trip when I realized I can’t travel with 2 kids on my own without it!

I have the graco ready to grow lx double stroller & like it! I got it when it was on sale on Amazon. Normally it’s around $300. Sometimes I use the single stroller still but the double has been nice because it has multiple configurations. But if you don’t have a graco infant seat then I’m not sure if others are compatible.

I like Graco. Affordable, but also reliable. I have the Graco bucket seat - snug right? Something along those lines. And I have 2 Graco strollers - one single and now since we just had our second baby we have a double. My Graco car seat was like ~130 and the strollers were each under 200.

I have a graco and I think it’s great. Honestly most of my baby stuff is graco. It’s a trusted brand, it’s been around for forever (pretty sure my mom’s stuff for me 33 years ago was graco). My stroller had the click connect thing where I could put the bucket seat into the stroller if I wanted, or I could use the bassinet thing it came with. The bassinet turns into what I call “toddler mode” for when they are bigger. You can have them pointing towards you or away from you. The bottom part fits the diaper bag perfect. It folds up into the back of my not so big car nicely. It has a cup holder and phone holder. My son is 21 months now and we have used it a lot. I am 27 weeks pregnant with my second and we just recently got a graco double stroller to prepare for having 2 kids. I’m definitely a graco fan. Plus, they are a lot more affordable.

My diaper bag came from Amazon. Some non-brand. I’ve seen it on just about every mom at the zoo, so it’s quite popular. I think it was ~$25. My bucket car seat is the Graco snugride snug fit 35 dlx. Using it on my second kid now with no complaints. It will also fit into the attachment on Graco strollers. I think it was around $130. My convertible car seat that they switch into when I get tired of carrying them in the bucket seat is the Graco slim fit 3in1. It was just under $200. My stroller for my first baby was the Graco modes pramette stroller. I think it was around $200 but it was a gift so not sure. Now that we have our second baby we have a Graco ready2grow Lx 2.0. It was on clearance for $170. Bucket car seat will also fit into it like the single stroller. As you can tell, we are loyal to Graco baby stuff.

Graco ready to grow 2.0 love it honestly lol! Wanted the mocking bird but a bit out our budget !

I have a bunch of strollers and two kids! The best feature of any stroller is one hand fold by far. I have a stroller that is built for two kids but it’s clunky to fold up and I can’t do it one handed. It’s also a pain in the ass to get in the trunk. I also have a jogging stroller that I haven’t used in years but it’s great for walking/jogging (obviously). Personally, I would choose a stroller that is a one handed fold, on the lighter side, but is also compatible with your infant seat (if you have one). I have a Chicco infant seat and the Chicco Bravo stroller (one handed fold) and I’d recommend them both. I’ve been using them both for five years and they’re still in good shape! I also have Chicco’s jogging stroller (great but huge and clunky, not for indoors), the Graco Ready2Grow (good for two kids but still big), and the Baby Trend wagon (great for two kids).

I think we should be friends! Baby number 2 is 4 months old now. 100% agree on getting a carrier that works for you! I love Moby wraps, my husband loves the Baby Bjorn. The best carrier is the one YOU feel comfortable in. We let baby lead us with their sleep schedule for the first 6 weeks or so, then start encouraging longer sleep and wake windows. My first slept 8 hour stretches by 1 week old, he was a miracle sleep unicorn wonder. My second came home to a house of the flu (courtesy of the now toddler) and 2 back to back hurricane evacuations, so none of us slept super well the first month. My single stroller is a graco modes lux, the one with the faux leather handle, not the foam handled regular graco modes. I love it to the moon and back, it's so easy to use, it holds everything, and fits everywhere. Short of pushing it through sand ON the beach it's a workhorse beast. Best $400 I've spent on any baby item period. My double stroller is a Graco ready2grow 2.0. I bought and sold a couple before settling on this one. It's grown on me. It's super compact, has multiple seating options, and a pretty big storage basket. When we converted baby #1 out of the crib we also found ourselves looking for a foldable mattress. My husband has just been in a car accident and really messed up his shoulder so tossing blankets on the floor wasn't working even for 5 minute stretches to get kiddo to sleep. We opted to spend the money on a nugget couch instead of the folding mattress and never looked back. If you like a firm mattress, and need a folding sleep solution, I recommend you try it! We still use the nugget daily in our house for play time etc.

I bought the Graco Duoglider when I was pregnant and now that my boys are nearly 12 weeks I can say I like it but I don’t love it. It’s really big, so if you mainly plan on using it for errands unless you have an SUV or minivan it is going to take up all your trunk or might not even fit, if barely fit in our Toyota Rav. The storage underneath is hard to reach once baby seats are in and you can’t put a drink in the cup holder unless the shade is all the way extended and is a bit small, same with the little cubby you can’t really fit anything in it. Positives are it is very easy to click the seats in and it’s very stable. There is a lot of storage if you plan on using it for amusement parks or zoo trips or similar. The shades completely cover the baby so it’s great for sunny days or naps. The back seat lays flat so I put both babies in it in the beginning for walks which was nice as a bassinet. Now 1 baby fits so I alternate sometimes and the other is in the car seat. I ended up getting a Graco Ready2Grow secondhand for super cheap and I like it more. For one it fits in the trunk of my car lol which was mandatory and the Duo didn’t. Can still fit babies easy in and out in their lite seats. Storage is easier to access but there is less. It shorter so it feels less ginormous when going through the store. Biggest downside is you can’t cover the babies with the shades completely. Neither seat lays flat unfortunately. And it’s more expensive, but I got mine for $60 off FB marketplace and while used, it works great. I hope that helps 😅
