  Love this stroller
  I have to say that I love this stroller. Yes, it is heavy, but it's a double stroller, what do you expect. And, it's a very sturdy stroller. I have 4 children, the oldest being only 4 years old and this was purchased after my 4th child was born. All 4 of my children have ridden in the stroller at one time or another, and I think at some point I've had all 4 in the stroller at one time. Bad day at the zoo and we needed to get out fast! They all love it. It is very easy to steer, easy to fold, has a large basket underneath that holds enough for my crew. Sometimes if you have too much in the basket you have to wiggle the drop down back a little to get it back up (but, I presume that's my fault for overloading the basket). :) The major difference I've noticed between this and the Duo-Glider is the reclining ability of the back seat. With the Duo-Glider, you need to use both hands to lower the seat and it goes from straight up to laying flat, no in between. With this stroller, you can use just one hand to recline the back seat and there are positions in between straight up and flat. That's the main reason I chose this stroller over the Duo-Glider. Anyway, there's my two cents...I have no complaints.

  Love it!
  Graco thought of everything when they designed this stroller. I have owned several strollers and this is by far my favorite. My kids are 1 and 3 and they both love riding in this stroller. The 3 year old climbs in all by herself and kicks back with her arms on the armrests, just enjoying the view. My 1 year old rides in the back and when she gets tired, I just recline the seat all the way and she goes right to sleep. Each kid has a cupholder and snack holder. It folds like a dream and has a latch to keep it that way. It is pretty big, but worth it for all the other features it has. I would say if you're petite, this may not be the stroller for you. But if you don't mind getting a little bit of a workout lifting and pushing, then this stroller is a dream come true.

  HUGE, but works for what you need
  This was the only one that works with the Graco infant car seat we already had, and it works fine, however it is HUGE and very heavy. I still can't really figure out how to open it and collapse it without my husband showing me again and again.... If you do not want something extremely bulky and heavy, do not buy this.

  very comfortable for kids and parent
  I bought this double stroller for a newborn and 21 month old and am thrilled. My toddler loves to climb onto the seat and sits like a little princess - she loves the carriage. Even my newborn has found one spot on the hood that she stares at contentedly for long stretches at a time - she seems very comfortable.
  
  I find it easy to push, love the compartments, and am getting lots of compliments (I have the black one - ionic).
  
  Highly recommended!

  Graco Stroller
  After a lot of shopping around, my husband and I decided to go with the Graco Duo Glider. We are very pleased with the product for a few reasons. My husband and I are both very tall people and this stroller is nice and tall... and not as long as the other double strollers we have seen. When we got the stroller in the mail, my husband figured it would be a hassle to put together, but it was really easy! Even with a toddler trying to "help" Daddy. The last reason I really like it is that our graco baby car seat fits right in. Sure, the stroller is heavy, but it is a double stroller! They are all heavy. This stroller glides nicely and easy to move around corners. My husband and I are very excited about this purchase and would recommend it to anyone in need of a double stroller.

  Great Double Stroller
  Graco knew what they were doing when designing this kid-friendly and parent-friendly stroller. For the price, I feel like we got an excellent 2nd stroller after the birth of our newborn. I can easily fit my Graco car seat in the back and 2 yr old in the front. He does sit up a little straighter than what looks comfortable to an adult, but he doesn't complain, especially since he has his drink holder and snack holder within easy reach. It handles great after getting used to how long the stroller is compared to my single-seat Graco. The weight is what I expected for double-stroller...a little heavy, but I'm 5'0 and can easily lift it in and out of my Honda CRV. It does take up most of the back of the car, but I can still pile plenty of things around it if I need to. I would recommend this to any parent needing a stroller for two kids. (Assembly was a snap!)

  Remember to remove the cupholders before entering an airplane
  This Graco Quattro Tour Duo Stroller is a great stroller. My older son loves to sit in the front. The only problem I find with this stroller is that the seat in the front can be laid down for a nap. But all other than that a great stroller. Very easy to fold down and put in the car. We just miss one cupholder because we forgot to remove them before it went into an airplane. So just keep that in mind. I'm sure everyone will enjoy this stroller, both the kids and the parents.

  We love our double!
  We love this stroller! It's lightweight and fairly compact for a double, so it's easy to get in and out of our SUV. There is very good storage underneath- I use it at the grocery store when I need to pick up a few items. There is a total of 6 cupholders, so it's great for juices and snacks for everyone. It's easy to manuever- I can steer it with one hand. I can also fold it up with one hand. The seats tilt back very far-our 4 month old sleeps in it all the time.
  
  The only weaknesses I've found is that our 2 1/2 year-old is very tall for his age and his head touches both canopies. I can still use them if I need to, but it's kind of annoying for him and I find him playing with the canopy- pulling it up and down. Also, if I tilt his seat back to take a nap, he can pull the seat up by himself. Personally, I also wish this stroller had a hand brake so I could slow it down better going downhill.
  
  We live in a metropolitan area and I like that I can get this stroller through store enterances, on metros and it handles different surfaces well. Overall, we are very thankful we made this purchase.

  Some smart features and some flaws -- a good stroller with caveats
  Two years ago, I never would have imagined myself any sort of expert on strollers. But two kids -- and a half dozen different strollers (sigh) -- can work wonders. I picked up the Graco Quattro Duo after the birth of my second daughter, namely because I wanted a stroller that could easily fit a car seat (which I prefer over a bassinet), and the Quattro Duo does that nicely. What follows are my thoughts two months in. Please keep in mind that I live in Manhattan and have no intention of ever taking this stroller in a car, so the fold (which is easy, but huge) isn't something I can really talk about. Also, as a city dweller with lots of walking to do, I use a Bugaboo Cameleon and a Maclaren Quest for my single-stroller needs (bless them in-laws), so I've gotten used to their easy maneuverability and may be a bit unduly harsh on the Quattro's. That said, here's what I think:
  
  - Yes, this thing is huge. Other reviewers are correct: The photos don't do this stroller justice. It is longer and larger than it appears in the pictures. I sometimes feel like I need an intercom to communicate with my older daughter up front. And I always feel like I'm pushing an SUV. Between the weight of the stroller, the weight of the kids, and the weight of all the stuff you'll be lugging around in the storage spaces, figure you'll be pushing a good 80 to 100 pounds. The weight and length (it fits, barely, in a typical apartment building elevator) make it a bit difficult to steer, though in fairness, I'm still using the Bugaboo and that thing (another beast of a stroller) steers like a dream. So I could simply be jaded.
  
  - There are a ton of smart design decisions here. For all the buzz about the Bugaboo, the one thing I always disliked about it was the lack of toddler 'amenities' that can come in handy -- stuff like cup holders and extra storage space. The Quattro Duo is a champ in this regard. There are cup holders for the kids, cup holders for the parent (way) in back, a separate storage space for the bigger kid who rides up front (my daughter loves to reach in a grab stuff out of there like Houdini; though she's probably put on an extra five pounds for grabbing all the cookies I've stashed there for our be-good-while-we're-out-and-I'll-give-you-a-snack bribery sessions (sorry Dr. Spock, I am a weak man). There's a little fanny pack for the parent, which itself has a few handy compartments. And the storage space under the seats is huge, though the downside is that you'll find a way to fill it all, and that's just gonna be more stuff to haul around.
  
  -- The car seat fits nicely. I've only used a Graco infant seat, so can't speak to others, but it's plug-and-play simple. This was really my main criteria (I figure I'll probably sell this stroller and buy a more maneverable side-by-side when my younger daughter gets a bit bigger).
  
  -- It's not exactly top-of-the-line construction. The stroller costs about a fourth of a Bugaboo Cameleon and while it's fair to say you get more bang for the buck with the Graco, no one is going to mistake it for, well, a Bugaboo. It's got a very plastic look (all that plastic can have that effect) and I often wonder if something is bound to break off (in fairness, nothing has -- yet). Consider, for example, the braking system. My Bugaboo has a hand lever you pull that stops the stroller dead. The Graco has a foot lever that's supposed to fit into ridges in the back axle and brake the stroller. Sometimes the fit isn't perfect and you have to keep kicking at it until you get the stroller to stop moving.
  
  -- It's kinda ugly. Sure, I get comments on the stroller, but they usually go to the many amenities (above) or the stroller's sheer length. It won't win any beauty contests and Graco doesn't help by offering a choice of color/pattern combinations that make Elvis's velvet-covered living room look tasteful. You really need to see this stroller in person, if you can, before buying. The platinum model, which looked nice on the Internet, was a real dog (at least to me) in the store. My wife finally opted for the "Galore" pattern, which is offered only by Toys R Us (I think). It won't win any beauty contests, either, but it's tolerable.
  
  - It's reasonably priced. At under $250, this is one of the more affordable double strollers I've seen. I'm sure I'll ultimately trade up to one of the $600 City Elite or Urban Mountain Buggy side-by-side strollers when my younger daughter gets a bit bigger and the Graco's car-seat advantage falls by the wayside -- how else could my wife ever show her face in Tribeca's Starbucks? But frankly, for what I use the Graco for (walks around the neighborhood), it more than earns its keep.
  
  -- I dig the handlebar. The Quattro Tour has the same U-type handle that I love on the Maclaren Quest (an excellent single-kid umbrella stroller, by the way -- and also about a quarter of the price of a Cameleon). I've read complaints about the handlebar breaking off, but (knock wood) no troubles here so far. The shape definitely helps with the pushing, and it just looks cool. And, let's face it, when you're lugging two crying babies and haven't shaved in a week, you need all the cool you can get.
