RoomFor2 Classic Connect

We had a Graco sit and stand stroller for my kiddos who were 28 months apart and loved it!

I had a graco stand and sit tandem which was useful during the infant bucket seat era (also helpful for my then 2yo). We now use the Zoe side by side. It weighs about 20 pounds and fits beautifully in the trunk of our van with lots of room to spare. We bought it used off marketplace. I love it. The downside though is there is not much storage IMO underneath, but we do have an older model so I think that has been updated.

Not a travel system.. but long term 1000% the Zoe. It is about 20ish pounds, side by side, folds easy + compact, and fits through a standard door. I got it once we were done with infant seats. We have the third seat which attaches to it too. We used a graco inline stroller which was ok, but was bulky and not a long- term item for us. Their customer service is great too. Their website doesn’t sell wheels individually (sold as a set), but they sold me just one after one of our wheels broke. The wheel breaking was frustrating, but we put tons of miles on our stroller so it doesn’t strike me as outrageous to have it break. Super nice because to replace one wheel was $17.. nice to not have to replace the whole set. 

I have been OBSESSING over strollers recently. Multiple spreadsheet level obsession. Choosing a stroller is easier if you figure out what your priorities are and what your budget is. When it comes to twin strollers, the expense is higher bc of added seats, so mid-range strollers like BabyJogger become as expensive as luxury strollers for singletons. If the most important thing to you is a low price (without sacrificing safety/necessities obviously) then a Graco stroller is best. They make a tandem and a side by side model, both come with highly satisfied reviews from all users. But why doesn't everyone just buy Graco then, if it's so good? Because it's so good for what it is, but that is still a budget stroller. More expensive strollers are made with better materials that are much lighter to carry. A Graco can be between 32-36 lbs, but the Nuna trvl dubl weighs only 23! The wheels on the Graco stroller transmit more bumps and shocks to the baby and may struggle to navigate through snow or mud, but the wheels on BabyJogger strollers absorb shock and push through all kinds of weather with ease. So what are you looking to do with your stroller? Are you in a city where a thin profile is a must? Are you in a suburb with well maintained sidewalks? Are you in a rural area with a lot of unfinished paths? Are you trying to take babies out on adult errands or only on kid ones (think shopping vs going to the park)? What's your budget limit? Does that budget include accessories or items sold separately (e.g. adapters, cup holders, etc)?

We have the Bob double for neighborhood walks and running but it’s too hard to get in and out of car. And we have a graco double that has one seat in front of the others. It’s worked great except our younger child just kicks the older one in front. We are going to be 3 under 3 and considering the wonderfold when the youngest gets a bit bigger.

I love my graco double stroller! It was at target for around $200. It’s so nice to not hold both! I sometimes wish I had a tandem stroller but then I realise now how wide they are and inconvenient for doorways and small spaces. Mine is a bit bulky for small stores but I love that I can put the car seat I have on and click into the base or out the seat clicked in for longer trips! I love it!

But yes I say do it especially if you and your partner like to go out! It’s great to have for day shopping, zoos, long outings, farmers markets! And then kids will be bigger and both want to sit and when one is over 2 and the over needs the stroller you won’t want to carry one and push one haha so I say do it! It’s very nice to just push
