Great stroller
After much research on double strollers we finally settled with this one. As all the other reviews claim it is heavy, but it is an over all great double stroller. My two girls fit perfect in it, a 2 year old and 2 month old, and there is no problem with height. I love that both seats can recline so they both can sleep but there is limited room. It is very easy to turn. Folding it up is easy and it requires you to remove one of the seats but it is not at all difficult. People stop and ask me all the time where I got it from.

Most Versatile Tandem Available
I read most of the reviews for Kolcraft Contours Options Tandem Stroller - Ruby and the others similar to it. I am so glad that my husband and I decided to go for Kolcraft. It is true that it is on the heavy side and I'm only 5'3, yet I am able to transfer it in and out of our Hyundai Sonata. So far, I have only used it walking in my neighborhood and the mall. It seems very comfortable for my 2 kids, ages 3 and 1. They both fall asleep on our walks. I was a bit worried that the stroller would have trouble fitting in the small elevators at the mall, but no problems there either. Now this stroller is not meant for short outings. For those, I recommend a single stroller and a baby bjorn or just let the older one walk alongside. This stroller is a must for longer outings since the little ones can fall asleep comfortably. You will not regret purchasing this stroller if you can get over the weight.

Cannot live without it!
My husband thought i was wasting money when i purchased this stroller. We have a 11 month old and a 1 month old. I needed something that i can use with the infant base. I read lots of reviews for over 4 months on different websites and i heard alot about the size and the weight. I decided to take a chance and buy in anyways, I wouldnt buy a different stroller! The weight is fine as long as your not petite. The size is alittle larger for a car, but fits great in a SUV. My husband loves this stroller more than i do. He even told me he is happy i purchased it. Its so easy to push. Going over large bumps and even walking through the stores with small walk ways it so easy! I love the fact that i change the position of the seats too! My 3 year old has found a way to hang out on the side and ride along(but she makes it heavier) I dont care what all the other reviews say, this is the best stroller! AWESOME PRICE TOO!

Kolcraft duo stroller
I like this stroller very much. The design is very beautiful and practical. My two-year-old daughter likes it that she will be able to look at her baby brother while they are in the stroller. You don't see the option of turning the seats any way you want them in many strollers. I guess that is what makes this one longer than other duo strollers (it is longer than it looks on the picture). I gave it four instead of five stars because of this. The size makes it a bit hard to manage. Also, the buckles are a little hard to open and close, but other than that I can find no faults.
It would have been useful to have in the online information that it fits most car seats / baby carriers. While baby is in the car seat he will be facing me; only after he is able to sit in the stroller seat can he face his sister (the included car seat adapter is not reversible and should be attached in the back).
My husband likes it too, he said it looks very sturdy and is like a car (which is as good a compliment you can get from him).
Great deal for this price!

This stroller is AMAZING!
We have 2 kids, a 3 year old and a 3 month old and this stroller suits all our needs! We can use it for both kids or just one, and we LOVE that it's lightweight and easy to steer. My son (3 year old) likes riding in the front and even though he's big for his age, he can still fit. I am short and petite, but I have no problem loading and unloading this thing. It was lighter than any other double stroller we tried, and we tried them ALL! The storage basket is awesome, as I can fit my over-sized diaper bag in it as well as tons of shopping bags. The wheels are large and go over curbs and bumps with ease and it turns on a dime. We get stopped frequently and complimented on our stroller and people were amazed that it didn't cost a fortune. It is, by far, the best baby purchase we've made. The downsides we've found in 4 months of use is that you have to take the seat out to fold it down. The push button system makes removing the seats so easy, even that one step is no biggie. Also, another negative, is the stroller seems larger than other double strollers- still minor hiccups when compared to the other features. WORTH IT!!

GIGANTIC
This stroller is HUGE- much bigger than it looks in the pictures. Heavy, and big. I put it together and never even put the kids in it. Might be great for wide open spaces but there is no way I am comfortable lugging this around for day to day errands and outings or getting it in/out of the car. It takes us the entire back trunk of the Toyota Rav 4. I am average size and you should be an olympian to maneuver and get this thing through doorways. I'm returning it.

A re-vamped review
I thought I had originally written a review, but wasn't able to find it to re-vamp so I'm writing a new one. We had bought this prior to our third child being born because my 2 1/2 year old wasn't quite ready to give up the stroller. My main concern was the head room or lack there of for an average sized child. HOWEVER, after three months of use I have found that we don't even notice the lack of head room. I LOVE this stroller and have actually recommended it to some friends. I have used it with both seats installed and with the front seat and the car seat attachment installed. The versatility allows all of my children to be happy. I've even found that when the baby wants to be carried in the sling, my 2 1/2 year old and 5 year old can both ride in the stroller comfortably and there is no fighting. This is priceless, especially when I'm on my own.
I have used this stroller on pavement, in dirt, on grass, pretty much everywhere and it is so easy to maneuver. You do get an extra glut workout in longer grass, but I'm not complaining. It is heavy, but I still have no trouble lifting it into the car (and I'm not very big).
I am so very glad that we did not return this as we had originally planned. I'm hoping that over the next several months that we are as happy with it as we are right now.

decent size and good design
the stroller is a little big and heavy since it is built for twin but if you don't mind that, it can be a good stroller. i like the many ways that we can arrange the seats, big and sturdy wheels, strong frame.. However, we wish the manufacturer include the 2nd car seat attachment to the package. I think most of the people who are buying this product have twin babies, it does not make sense to include only one car seat attachment. Plus, there is no way we can buy this car seat out there in the store. No body has the car seat attachment in stock..

Terrific Stroller!
This stroller rides like a dream--very smooth, easy to maneuver and push. Heavy to lift? Oh yes, if you need to haul it in and out of your car, but removing one or both seats will make it a bit easier to manage. However, the quality is very good and unlike many of the other strollers out there I've "test-driven", for the price, you just can't get a better-made product. I love that this stroller has handles on the sides so that my toddler has a good place to hold on when walking besides me. As I live in Florida, I really appreciate that the sun visor comes down low and adjusts. The storage basket is a decent size too. Love the cup holds and a place to put your keys or cell phone. Also, Kolcraft customer service is very good. My stroller arrived with a piece of plastic that must have snapped off one of the seat belts during shipping. They promptly sent me a replacement belt.

Love my stroller!
I love this stroller!! My husband was real "iffy" about it when it arrived because it was so large. He quickly put it together and my 2 year old hopped in immediately. She loves it. I have a 3 week old as well and she fits well in the regular seat laid all the way back to stroll around the neighborhood. He car seat- Baby Trend Flex-lock fits great in the carseat attachment. I cannot wait to go shopping with it! It steers great and so easy to be a double stroller. It is also really easy to close and open. I love how simple it is to change the seats to different positions, it is so versitile! It has lots of leg room for both of them! GREAT PLUS when you have a 2 year old that likes to kick her feet! Plus it has tons of storage underneath.

There is a couple of small things they could improve on. One, the stroller is a tad bit on the heavy size, but it does make it feel sturdy. I'm 5'1'' and I have a little trouble lifting it, with the seats attached. I just take them off and sit them in my trunk before closing the stroller up. There also, isn't cupholders on the seats themselves. I would like it better if they did. Overall it is wonderful and affordable!
