Graco Quattro Tour Duo Stroller

Families with twins or two small children who are a few years apart will appreciate this fully equipped tandem stroller that is also easy on the wallet. The Quattro Tour Duo has ample features that make your busy life as a parent of two little kids far more convenient.

What makes this tandem stroller so desirable? It's the same width as a single stroller rather than a side-by-side twin stroller. You can walk through narrower passages and fit through all doorways. And this particular model is only just a bit longer than a single stroller, so you don't have to feel like you are the captain of a huge cruise ship trying to navigate into port.

By the time you finish reading this review you'll learn everthing there is to know about the Graco Quattro Tour Duo stroller like the unique adjustable handle and how much more compactly it folds. Let's get started!

All about the seats

The Quattro Tour Duo is perfect for a family with a toddler and a newborn infant. The toddler sits in the front seat while the newborn safely rests in a Graco infant car seat in the rear seat to face Mom. The older sibling can ride along in the front seat until he or she reaches 50 pounds, while the back seat holds a child up to 40 pounds. Yes, this Graco double stroller can handle a total of 90 pounds!

Have twin babies? The first seat also comes with an adapter that you can install to take an additional Graco infant car seat, so this stroller becomes a double travel system. Lots of parents with multiples love the Quattro Tour Duo for their newborns because it is one of the best strollers for twins.

The cushy padded seats are important for a child's comfort, especially for long outings. Both multi-position reclining seats are well cushioned and they can be adjusted with one hand. The rear seat sits up higher, in an elevated stadium-style, so that when the younger sibling is a little older, he or she can look out and enjoy the scenery too.

Each seat is equipped with its own sun canopy. I like how the front canopy can rotate to block the sun at just about every angle. The back canopy is bigger to give enough shade or block the wind. It also comes with a peek-a-boo window so you can keep an eye on your baby.

Plenty of storage

Underneath the seats Graco Quattro Tour Duo stroller has plenty of storage space. One of the convenience features you are really going to love is the flip-down storage basket because when the rear seat is fully reclined, it can be downright impossible to access the basket in other strollers. The flip-down feature allows you to effortlessly get to the things you need while leaving your baby undisturbed. You get plenty of space, too; there's ample room for everything you will need to take with you.

Your bigger kid is going to be excited about having his or her own storage cubby beneath the front seat to stash favorite toys. It is just the right size for little toys and snacks because there is no front tray. Instead, you can switch between two cup holders with an open space in the front seat to allow your toddler to get in and out quickly, or the bumper bar for more security.

Parents get to have nice deep cup holders on either side of the handle bars as well as a good-sized storage pouch in between. It is big enough to hold your cell phone, keys and other little odds and ends you'll need to take along.

Maneuverability

Tandem strollers have the reputation of being very hard to push and turn corners because they are long and with heavier weight in front, it takes lots of muscle power. However the large swivel wheels coupled with the ergonomic handles makes it far easier to turn corners.

It's going to get more difficult to turn as your older child gains weight and sits in the front seat, there's no getting around that, but with the handlebar and wheel combination working in your favor, it must be better than most other tandem strollers.

Tell me about the fold

Folding this tandem is also easy; Graco developed a one-hand gravity fold, which makes it easier to get it put away quickly. It folds 20% smaller than the DuoGlider, which is so important since trunk space is at a premium. According to one reviewer, even his tiny pregnant wife was able to lift and put this Graco double stroller into her vehicle.

Disadvantages

Quite a few Graco Quattro Tour Duo stroller reviews have said that this is a whale of a stroller. Complaints include it being too heavy and taking up too much trunk space. However, most of these customers do admit that a double stroller is going to be heavy and for a double, it does fold smaller. Make sure your vehicle trunk will be large enough to handle this stroller's size once folded.

There have been a few negative comments about cupholders coming off, but very little compared with owners whose Quattro Tour Duos have stayed together just fine.

Where can I buy the Graco Quattro Tour Duo stroller?

I like to comparison shop online and I have found that Amazon has three color schemes for the Quattro Tour Duo at competitive prices. And Amazon also carries the 4th color scheme: the sophisticated dark "Flint" color.
