Reviewers say the Graco DuoGlider double stroller is the best budget tandem stroller. Kids like the DuoGlider LX's "stadium seating," which lets the rear passenger sit a little higher. The Graco DuoGlider LX weighs 30 pounds, but most parents say it handles and folds pretty well. The DuoGlider LX accepts two Graco infant car seats. We found better reviews for some double strollers, but at considerably higher prices. The Graco Quattro Tour Duo (*Est. $250) adds some extra features, but also nearly 10 extra pounds. If you need to accommodate only one infant seat and one older child, the convertible phil&teds Explorer (*Est. $480 plus $90 doubles kit) has an optional second seat and three wheels that can handle all terrain.
The only site to offer a professional review of the Graco DuoGlider 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 on Amazon.com, Viewpoints.com, Epinions.com and LilaGuide.com. ConsumerReports.org did not include the Graco DuoGlider double stroller in its latest update.
