BabyTrend Double Snap n Go Stroller

Hello,
I was just at Babies R Us beginning my registry and was looking at the Double Snap N Go. However, the salesperson really discourgaged me from registering for it. He said it really doesn't "snap" at all, that you have to strap each car seat in everytime you use it- and it is a pain. I am looking for feedback- is it really a pain? How do the straps work? Are there other double infant strollers out there that are better? I thought I knew what I wanted- but now I am not sure. Any feedback would be great.
Thanks!

 

I absolutely loved that stroller, and I don't know what I would have done with out it. The carseats do snap in, but there is a strap that goes over the front of the carseat so that it can't tip. It is light weight, and easy to fold. It was so easy to go out with that stroller. Now we have a side by side and the girls in permanent carseats and it definately is way more work.
It is definately one of the things that make your life a bit easier!!

 

I LOVED my double snap-n-go. It was the only stroller that I used while the girls were in car seats. It is easy and very light compared to all the other double strollers. Don't let the salesperson discourage you. If I had to pick just a few "must have" twin items the double snap-n-go would be at the top of that list.

 

I bought a double snap n go stroller and I tried it out with my two graco car seats. It was very easy to put them in and take them out. I think it will be a great stroller for when they are little. That's weird to me that the salesperson discouraged buying it. I've only heard good things about the stroller. Good luck

 

The seats don't actually "snap" into stroller. However the back of the infant seat will lock onto the bar as long as the bar is placed in the right spot. The belt strap helps make it a bit more secure and should be used EVERY time. The link through your infant seat.

This was one of the issues I and alot of other twin moms had that I talked to about it...that it didn't actually "snap" into the spot. If you try to take the seat out though you can't unless using the red lever behind the seat.

I think it's a GREAT purchase for the first few months with twins. It's not actually a pain to do up the seatbelts and I'm sure you would be using them even if the seats actually "snapped" into position. We want to do everything to make sure our children are safe right!

 

I think the Double Snap and Go is the singlest most important item that dd had when the twins were born... It is simple to use, light weight, easy to manuever... they just graduated to the Peg Pereggo Aria and she was very sad that they had outgrown the double snap & go....

Cant believe he told you that. Right, they dont 'snap'. You do need the strap that takes a whole 2 seconds to do. This was by far our best purchase during the beginning months. It is so so light and folds so easily.

 

I've only seen and heard high ratings for this stroller. My husband and I have it and were able to put our Graco car seats in snuggly and take them out without any trouble.

 

This stroller is a fabulous item to have! I guess the seats don't technically "snap" in, but they do click in. The belt is for added safety. And it takes all of two seconds to attach.

I think you should base your decision on the reviews of many twin moms who have personally used the stroller and not a man who has never had to take twin infants out alone. Silly salesman.

 

We just took ours out for a test tun-prebabies-and I thnk it is a great thing! We have the Graco seats-you just have to follow directions to set up the bars to match your car seats and then you are good to go...I would register for it if I was you!

DITTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know how i'll manage when they outgrow it!

 

Wow! That is horrible that the salesperson discouraged it. I absolutely loved mine and was sad when we had to retire it. I couldn't have lived without it. It probably took a few minutes total to get them into the stroller and the straps fastened. Much faster than taking babies out of convertible seats and strapping them into a SBS nowadays. DEFINITELY GET IT!!

 

I bought one used from Craigs list and thought it was really helpful those first few months. However, I'm glad I did not purchase it new because my boys grew so fast and became too heavy to use the infant car seats by 5 months old.

 

We just put ours together over the weekend and put the strollers into it. It is SOOO easy! Don't listen to that salesperson. Yes, you have to "belt" them on, but it seriously takes like 2 seconds.

 

I agree with everyone else! My double snap-n-go stroller is probably my favorite item! We have already bought regular car seats, but I want to get as much use out of this stroller as I possibly can! I will use it until the babies absolutely no longer fit in the infant seats! It should be very soon!
By the way, our Babies R Us did not carry it in store, so we ordered it online, and again... it was worth every penny!! Go get it! I'm assuming the salesperson does not have experience with twins... those that do love the stroller!

They are a life saver. I loved mine, it was easy to use and helped getting the babies in and out without taking them out of a carseat every time. I would definitely get one, you will love it. I never had to strap them down. They click into place just like they do on the bases.

 

We had this stroller as well and loved it. I was so sad when the girls outgrew their infant seats and we had to move on to a different stroller. It lasted us until the girls were about 8 months old-Katelyn got too tall for the infant seat at that point.

 

Sounds like the salesguy just wanted to sell you one of the more expensive double strollers.

The salesguy at our BRU saw my mom and I looking at the SnG that they had in the clearance section (someone didn't want to pay to return it by mail so returned it at the store) and he said you will love it. I told him I have the single already from when my son was in the Graco, but now it's twins and a single won't do. He said he recommends it to all twin moms, someone he knows has a regular stroller and said that they ended up getting a SnG instead to us.

We loved our single and I know I will love the double.
