I have the same one only it's branded Safety 1st and the color is Waterbury. I got it at Albee Baby (and paid less...)

Anyway, it has its pros and cons. It does fold pretty small and that was what I was after. I wanted something that I could leave in the trunk of my car all of the time and still have room for shopping bags. It's not as light as my jogger but it isn't heavy either. It's nice and narrow so I can fit through aisles in stores more easily than with a SBS. I like the 5 point restraint. It folds and sets up very easily. The stadium seating lets the guy in back have a good view.

As for the cons -- it is VERY cheaply made. With light use, the fabric on the front seat tore at a pressure point, one of the end caps on the handles has fallen off, and one of the hinge pieces for the canopy fell off. The wheels are foam so definitely not suitable for rough terrain. It has no practical storage (the little hanging mesh baggie is awkward to access and very small).

This is an occasional use stroller for certain. It's really too bad because the design is a great concept.

ETA: Oh, almost forgot -- the canopy does NOT cover the baby in the front although it does a great job for whoever rides in back...

 

Thanks for your reply. I have heard the same cons about the safety first one. So I wondered if the eddie bauer one was made better (since it costs a little more!)

Anyone have this exact one?

 

No one has this one????

 

I don't have this one, but I think I just saw this model in my local target store. I know it was an Eddie Bauer tandem, and it looked pretty compact like this.

 

I wish we had Target in VT! None yet! I love that store! Tx

 

My best friend has it and loves it. She has a 2 year old and an 11 month old. She likes it because the back seat sits up higher, so the one in the back can see and it has cup holders for both. It is so lightweight (she took it on a plane trip) and fits easily in a trunk. It also washes up easily. We spend a lot of time together, so I would know if she didn't like it.

 

I finally found it locally to try out! Sears has it here. I put both boys in it and it steered and maneuvered well! The 5pt harnesses are great. The only thing was I could not figure out how to fold it up and no one was in the baby dept to help

Do they really fold up that easily? That is the last question I have! I cant believe how much smaller it is than my jeep tandem (like a duoglide) and still performs well with almost 60 lbs of boyz!
