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.

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 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 😅

Not on the list but I got a Graco Ready2Grow on fb marketplace and it has been such a life saver for us!

Mine are 15 months apart! I didn’t think a side by side would fit inside places really well is mainly why I did front/back, and I have to say I love my stroller so far! It also didn’t seem to me that side by sides were really made for two different sized babies, if that makes sense. Being able to pop the infant seat in just made things so much easier for us. It is not light, but I don’t think it’s really /that/ much heavier than the graco single stroller, either. The toddler seat does recline, though we’ve never used that so I don’t really know how well it works tbh. I will say my biggest pet peeve with the stroller is that it’s hard to put my diaper bag in the basket with the infant seat on, and that annoys me.

Ours is the Graco Ready to Grow 2.0 - under $300 it appears. And yes, oldest has used the standing portion and the seat facing me at the bottom. Pretty neat stroller

This is the one I’ve been looking at! Idk why but I was so excited to get it (also looking on FB marketplace bc the price is just ridiculous), but today I felt so perplexed because maybe I should get a side by side one instead? I’ve just been seeing a lot of people on this sub *side* with the side by side double strollers instead of the line options. My babies are 14 months apart (3 month old & 17 month old). I already have 2 Graco car seats I use for them so I’m definitely looking into a double stroller where I can click in the infant car seat for the younger one. Would you be kind enough to let me know if it’s lightweight? And does the toddler seat go/lean back? I’d appreciate your input! Thanks in advance!

Tell me about it! My current stroller hardly fits my diaper bag in the bottle. I literally shoved it down there 2 days ago and didn’t realize my water leaked and made a puddle and got my diaper bag wet 🤦🏻‍♀️ anyways, today I got the double stroller! I went for it and got it for over $100 less on FB marketplace new in box. I love it! We assembled it and it looks great! I’m so excited to use it. Worried about the bottom storage space, but it’s fine for now. And same, I also didn’t want to get a side-by-side stroller because of doorway space.
