Graco Quattro Tour Duo Stroller

If you're looking for a double stroller with many features and a compact design that won't kill the pocketbook, then Graco's Quattro Tour Duo Stroller should foot the bill.

The Quattro Tour Duo Stroller is a great way to keep your kids together in one stroller, hit the road and have a good time. It's durable, has many features and doesn't cost a ton, which should appeal to many parents.

Some of the features that make this a definite step up from Graco's DuoGlider is that it is smaller and the front seat can hold up to 50 pounds. That virtually guarantees it will last through the toddler years. It also can handle Graco car seats in both the front and back positions.

The compact and slim design may be the most intriguing feature. It means you aren't going to take up the whole sidewalk or trail. It's nice to keep it all in a straight line in front of you. Unfortunately that also means it can make it a bit awkward to steer into turns or keep control on slopes, such as a driveway's entrance. This is outweighed some by an innovative handle bar that gives you the option to control the stroller in the traditional way or to use its extended grips to gain control of the unit. The foot brake is easy to use and there is also a swivel control on the front wheels to help you control the ride.

The kids fit easily into both seats and putting an infant carrier on the stroller is simple and clicks in safely. The three- and five-point harnesses, although a good safety feature, can be a little tricky to snap into place and adjust.

The compact design – Graco says the Quattro Tour is 20% smaller than the company's DouGlider – also means it fits fairly easily in the trunk of a sedan, a nice touch for parents who don't have big cars. It isn't difficult to fold up for storage or unfold for use.

There is plenty of storage space for all your essential on-the-go items.

There are 10 versions of the stroller, varying mostly in style. It retails between $239.99-$259.99.
