Graco Uno2Duo Stroller Second Seat

** I tried to post this to Graco, but they refused my honest review - Great concept, could have been built better. I purchased the Uno2do last summer (2019) while I was pregnant with my second. At the time my 1st was 31/2. My goal in searching for a non-traditional double was, not a side by side, ample storage, easy movement, multi- riding options and something compact as a double stroller could be. When I stumbled upon this stroller, I felt like I found everything I was looking for without the $800+ price tag. Unfortunately, stores around me did not carry this model in stores to try, so I found it on Amazon thinking I could easily return if needed. Putting it together was easy, I did have an issue with the tray table not fitting, but customer service was great and resolved the issue quickly. It wasn’t super heavy, but does take up half of my trunk space in a Toyota Highlander. Our first adventure was a weekend in Boston with my toddler in the spring. She loved the ride, the seat fit her comfortably, as she didn’t complain about not fitting, even though now, 40lbs, and almost 43” tall, she is just about maxing out the seat but still comfortable. “Driving” the stroller through cobblestone was alright too. It held up and did the job, although other pricey models do handle better. Grocery store trips are nice, my older daughter can ride on the back, baby can be in car seat, and groceries can all fit under neath. Flash forward to today, with a 4 year old and a 4 month old, we’ve used the stroller extensively. I’ve packed it to the brim for ski trips, love the bassinet option for the baby during long days in the lodge. I can carry our gear in my pack, while the cooler and other bags can go under neath. I also love the fact that my daughter can ride on the stroller in busy parking lots. Storage is fantastic, but I’ve noticed that the whole system is getting “looser at the joints” the whole thing seems just more wobbly than at first. Pushing and steering while my daughter is riding on the platform is hard, the weight doesn’t get distributed evenly making it awkward. Two things I do not like is that if I have my toddler is the lower seat and the baby in the car seat on top, there is NO storage, my Toddlers legs take up all of the space. Also, she can not easily get in and out without removing the baby seat. Second is the tray table, it’s WAY too far away to be useful and just gets in the way when storing stroller in the car. I’ve taken it completely off and we do not use it. I like the cell phone holder, but wish the placement of the cup holder was better. On the outside makes the stroller too wide to fit through doors or loading it in the car without knocking it. At one point the cup holder fell of and is yet to be relocated. Also, finding a stroller bag that fit the width of the handle bars was difficult, and if you intend to have a child ride on the platform, you can not use one. Unless you want the child to constantly knock it over. Over all, I would recommend this stroller if you are a light use, mall going kind of family and not planning on pushing it to the limits as my family does. I wish a few more details were thought through to make it easier to use. If we are blessed to expand our family with a third, I’m going to go all out with the $800+ brands. Just with the normal everyday roughness this stroller would unfortunately not hold up.
