 Big and heavy, but the best option out there December 5, 2008
I bought this stroller at a secondhand store just before my second son was born. My two boys are 15 months apart, so I figured a double stroller was an absolute must, since we'd be using it for a good long while. Overall, I'm happy with it, but only because I think it's the best of the options now available. You can spend a fortune for one of those super fancy brands, and look spectacular walking through the mall. But is it really worth the money you pay? So I found that the Quattro Tour Duo fit my needs without breaking the bank. That having been said, however, it does have some drawbacks. It's heavy. Period. Just really heavy. I'm no weakling, but it is very, very awkward to pick up and put into the back of a minivan or the trunk of a car. There's simply no good place to grab the darn thing! And forget about traveling with it! Folded up, it's nearly the size of the largest suitcase on the market. You'd have to have a good sized SUV as a rental car, and hope your luggage fits, along with this monstrosity of a stroller. Yes, it has a ton of storage space, and lots of cup holders and stuff. But I've found it necessary to buy a double umbrella stroller for travel purposes. I use this mainly for the mall, and for places that don't provide carts. It's impossible to have your two kids in this stroller and pull a shopping cart behind you, because there is simply no way to steer this thing one-handed. It's very heavy to push and turn. You literally have to put your back into it to get it to turn, especially fully loaded (a baby, a toddler, and a full diaper bag). And don't bother trying to push it on grass. Not gonna' happen. If you're going places like the zoo or an amusement park, I'd recommend something smaller, lighter, and more all-terrain. This is a mall and shopping stroller, in my opinion. However, I still give it four stars, because that's exactly what I needed it for, and it fits the bill admirably. You can fit a whole lot of shopping bags under that basket, and hang more from the handle bars! Yes, you may have to stand beside it in an elevator (because you won't fit behind it), but it all works out in the end. Considering all of the tandem double strollers on the market, I would say this is probably the best you can do. Just be sure you have a strong back and arms!
Works Great! November 24, 2008
Purchased this stroller for a newborn and a 15 month old. I am now free to escape my house with this wonderful stroller. Plenty of underneath storage, cup holder for my morning coffee, and the handle is higher for my taller husband. It is heavy but I can lift it in and out of a Tahoe. No complaints.
 Worth the price and weight November 18, 2008
We purchased this stroller shortly before our second child was born in October. It is very easy to 'drive', and far more agile than I expected. I can maneuver it through aisles and displays with no problem. The large wheels give it a nice ride as well. Our older son likes his seat much more than our previous stroller because it sits him up more. (There is the option of reclining, not too far but enough for him to rest.) Our infant is right in front of us and locks in securely. It is definitely longer, and feels longer when driving, but I would expect that from a double stroller. The only drawback is that it is heavy, 39 pounds, but again I would expect that with a double stroller. It still fits in the back of our suv where our single stroller fit. I am a little concerned about the shallowness of the front seat, that perhaps as my son gets older he may not be as comfortable. However, overall we are very happy with this stroller, and would recommend it to a friend.
Very happy with it November 17, 2008
I bought this stroller when my secon daughter was bon. My oldest was 2 and 1/4 or so at the time. I really liked the stroller. Easy to fold adn unfold. It's pretty big. It takes up about 1/2 of the back of my Passat wagon. Not outrageously heavy but all I ever did was take it out and put it back in my trunk. I'm 4'11" and by no means a body builder and I had no trouble at all. My husband (who is around 5'11") and I could both push it easily/comfortably. The handle height adjusts. It's pretty easy to click in the Graco infant carseat. I thought it was attractive. The shades are good enough. Not great but I generally find that to be the case with pretty much any stroller. It steers and "handles" very easily which was a pleasant surprise to me. Don't get me wrong, it's long so you need some room to turn but it was pretty easy to maneuver. It's not a "dream" when shopping but again, I find that to be the case with almost any stroller, including my larger "single" stroller. The kids seem comfortable in it. I didn't use it very long because my oldest just wouldn't sit it in (my husband always let her out!) for very long so I just gave up on the double. But I really did like it and have leant it to my sister-in-law to use. The ONLY thing that used to annoy me about it was I found the mechanism to drop the under stroller bin (the more accurate word is escaping me right now) to be counter-intuitive and often pulled it off track/out of "socket." But that was always easily remedied by my husband. For whatever reason, I did not have the same issue with the mechanism used to drop teh seat back (which basically operates the same as the under seat basket) - don't ask me why! The storage under the stroller (hard to get to when the back seat is reclined - an issue I think you'd find with any stroller) is huge. Overall I was very happy with this stroller.

Graco Quattro Tour Duo Stroller in Soho
The advertisement of one hand to open & to fold is the truth. I am amazed at how easy it is to open this up and fold it down with one hand. The stroller is a little large in size but that allows for 2 children & lots of gear. Our two year old grandson is a big boy, tall & close to 40 lbs now, this stroller allows for a 50 lb child which will give his parents a longer time to get to use it. The Soho color style is very nice also. Really glad we bought this one as it handles & steers very well also.
