Graco DuoRider Review

What the reviewers like:
Reviewers are mainly pleased with the practical aspects of the Graco DuoRider double stroller, including its large and accessible storage basket, its washable, removable fabric and its low price. Parents also like the Graco DuoRider's three-point harness and swing-open bar, as well as its ease of folding and steering -- even though it may not be the most durable double stroller in the long run.

What the reviewers don’t like:
The Graco DuoRider requires a two-hand fold, and it can be bulky to store. Some parents complain about squeaky wheels after extended use, and they also say this stroller’s side-by-side design makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and grocery-store aisles. Parents wish for more cup holders and larger storage trays, and the DuoRider takes some knocks for long-term durability issues.

Graco DuoRider review highlights

Parents mainly have good things to report about the budget-priced Graco DuoRider. They appreciate this double stroller’s reasonable price, as well as its generous, accessible storage and ease of both folding and steering. Some say they would choose the Graco DuoRider over high-end brands like Peg-Perego and Maclaren. However, there are some complaints about wheels wearing down after extended use, and some owners say the Graco DuoRider double stroller doesn’t offer the smoothest possible ride. In addition, many parents don't like side-by-side strollers such as the Graco DuoRider as much as tandem strollers like the Graco DuoGlider (*est. $145).
