Graco DuoGlider LX

Reviews say the Graco DuoGlider LX double stroller gets lower scores for durability, but it is still the best budget tandem stroller. Kids like the DuoGlider's "stadium seating," which lets the rear passenger sit a little higher. But the rear seat has only two positions, flat and up, which some children find uncomfortable. The Graco DuoGlider LX weighs 30 pounds, but most parents say it handles and folds pretty well. The Graco accepts two infant car seats. We found better reviews for some double strollers, but at considerably higher prices. The convertible Phil & Teds Sport Double (*est. $400, plus $90 doubles kit), has an optional second seat positioned behind and partly below the main seat; this three-wheeled all-terrain stroller gets good reviews. If you are not set on a tandem stroller, the Inglesina Twin Swift (*est. $250) side-by side stroller is highly rated, in part for its durability.

The only site to offer a professional review of the Graco DuoGlider LX double stroller is Baby-Gaga.com, whose editors base performance ratings on testing and interviews with parents. Also, dozens of parents register their experiences with this model in the stroller forums at BabyBargains.com (the web companion to the popular book of the same name) and Epinions.com. Consumer Reports did not include the Graco DuoGlider LX double stroller in its latest update.
