Graco - RoomFor2 Classic Connect

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 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.

I can’t find my comment to reply, but we got our double stroller on FB for $30. it’s graco and was compatible with our infant bucket seat so i’d start there to figure out what you want. We bought our wagon brand new but I figured that would get more use after I realized how much we used the stroller.

Both my graco strollers are pieces of shit. My double is probably one more snap from a crack and it’s only been in use since my second was about two months old. He’s barely seven months now!!! Don’t be me. Get the fancy one because it will take care of you! My graco does not take care of me and I take care of it - I tie it to my truck so it doesn’t roll all over the place, I have truck shade so it’s not getting beat up, I don’t let my toddler beat it up I treat it with care!!!!! And it sucks. So did the single. $500+ in strollers and what do I have??? A crap stroller and a bunch of useless attachments I won’t throw away because it feels like fast fashion lmao

I have a single stroller that also has a pram. A wagon. I just got a graco double stroller that can attach a carseat too...I'm 23 weeks pregnant with baby 6 and my 5th is only just turning 2 next month so I thought that was nice...I use the wagon currently for errands and walks since it can be pushed like a stroller too!

FTM went through so many strollers. We have 1 baby and will have a 2nd about 1.5-2 years apart. Live in the city but also have a car and use it often, major walkers and also loads of snow. Had the graco and evenflo (doubles strollers for a 2nd future baby). Threw these out (sold one and one is at grandmas). I couldn’t put them in the car (I could but the hassle and time it would, was too long). Had to put the chair part from the frame to put in the car as it’s not a 1 fold. We live in a city and car theif is super high in public, malls, i wasn’t taking a chance with Lo locked in the car while in taking 2 mins to fold and put the stroller away. Anyways, for everyday strollers (errands in car) Nuna travel, one hand fold, automatic, good sunshade, very easy to put in the car and unfold with one hand. I don’t use this for long walks though, but errands in the city, malls, daycare etc. not good on snow but inbetween. The yoyo one I believe was the next best one. I wouldn’t use these on on baby under 9 months though since they are not parent facing. Maxi corsi Stella i think, great suspension, horrible handle, lift, still big, heavy. Overall win: for walking, errands by foot, longgg walks, bad weather, can go car friendly but still big for my taste. But it’s infant to toddler friendly, comes with a bassinet, chair, can add 2 kids or just 1 with bassinet to seat depending on model, love their sun shades, handle is comfortable. We got the Uppababy cruz better for the city less wide than the vista. cruz can hold only 1 child but comes with a stand board, forward and rear facing.. snack tray is good. I love this stroller for everyday. Comes with a car seat which is totally comfortable for Lo and easily detachable to my frame to base. We bought it used on FB as I didn’t understand the Uppababy hype.. but I wish I got this one for my first. Also customer service is great with their questions. For strong winters (we have snow and low as -20 but we don’t go outside but for snow air filled tires are best) we got a bob for jogging with ours now, and it’s been great but it’s for camping, jogging, winter times outside. Huge though but if you go outside for winter often air filled tires are the best.

We have a Lark and a Graco double stroller. We use the double stroller all the time, and have since baby #2 was just a few days old (born around the same as you’re due)! Kids are 21mo apart. Now he’s transitioned from the car seat carrier in to the bigger stroller seat. We live in a walkable place and I don’t really like taking walks with baby in the Lark - too paranoid about tripping on the sidewalk - I’d rather have both in a stroller. I do use the Lark and shopping cart combo, but the Lark isn’t safe for baby until like 3 months in at least. So consider what would work best for you those first few months. Maybe it gives you some time to save up a bit for both?! Keep an eye on FB Marketplace or summer yard sales for a secondhand double stroller at a fraction of the price?

Check marketplace! I found a used graco stroller for 50$! It was a bit of a drive but worth it!

We’re a graco house, and the double stroller was definitely worth it for us. We’ll be using it for many years too since it “grows” with your children.
