    The price seems right, it's 29in so it will fit through most doorways, and it has storage. The only thing that looks a little strange to me are the handlebars. They are on an akward slant but perhaps that doesn't matter? How do you like it? What don't you like about it?

    Wow, I had no idea that Kohl's carried strollers! I don't personally have that one, but I've seen it alot when we are out and about, so it can't be too bad! Hopefully you'll get some more opinions!

    We have it and my girls love it. It is very easy to fold up, and fit through doorways. The baskets are a nice size to carry things. So far I have not had a problem with it.

    I have that one and the Combi and I almost exclusively use the Graco. I love it. I wish it had a snack cup like the Combi but we cope just fine. It steers, imo, like a dream.

    I had that one (my girls don't use a stroller any more) and I liked it. I never had any other stroller to compare it to though. The only thing I wish it had was a tray for when I had to give them a snack while in the stroller to keep them happy. But I loved the big basket underneath and it was easy to fold and unfold.

    I had one that I used as a spare but I liked the DuoGlider better. The seat covers always seemed to slip and I also didn't like that it didn't have snack trays. It did seem lighter to push than the DuoGlider, I guess because of the shape (weight distribution).

    I looked at that one when I was ready to sell my tandem and get a side by side. I do not like the way it folds flat. I cannot get it into my van easily. Weird huh? I have a double inglesina umbrella that folds very slim andpushes well with great baskets!

    We had that one and it broke. As in completely destroyed itself. The lower bit came apart when they were about 2 years old I think. Too much weight maybe, or too much use.
    I liked that it was lighter than our DuoGlider, the kids loved being side by side and for walks it was just more comfy. I didn't like that I couldn't get into stores with it (well now I have a singleton and bought the widest single pram there is, so I still can't get into stores! Just my luck!!). And buses were also a big problem with it.

    my mom has one of those (given to her as a hand me down) and she doesn't like it - it doesn't fold well or easily....I have a DuoGlider and love it!

    Does anyone know if the seats recline flat? That's what I am looking for in a sbs stroller.

    We have this - got it used and it is pretty beat up now. We use it most of the time. It is inexpenive, seems like a nice ride for the kids and it does get through most doorways. And the baskets are great. We like it.

    They do recline flat. It might be different with the newer models but the fabric on mine sometimes get caught and it won't go down all the way. Once, I straighten it out, it's fine.

    we got this one as a hand me down from someone on freecycle and it was bent up but after we rebent it, the boys love it. It's missing the basket so we're looking for another sbs wtih cup holders and all but for walks around the neighborhood, the boys love it and it made us want another sbs rather than the duoglider. As for the bars, yeah the're at a slant b/c of the way that they have to be put in but other than that, the boys dont care so neither did I.

    My MIL has that one and I like it better than my duoglide. It fit through 50% of doors with no problems. The seat covers can slide when they are jumping in and out and can be a pain but do not slide when they are in. The only time we have problems with that is when were are somewhere like the zoo or something and they want to get out all of the time. My MIL got hers used and it's definitely in used condition but working well.

    (my MIL watches the kids while I'm at work.)

    Yes, we love it! I especially love the big baskets underneath. We took the front bars that go across the seats off since the babies are so small, they couldn't see over them.

    It is lightweight and folds up pretty flat.
