Graco Quattro Tour Duo Stroller Review
A tandem stroller with an elevated rear seat, parent storage tray, multi-position reclining seats, fully reclining rear seat, 3- and 5-point harnesses in front and rear, drop-down storage basket, one-hand fold, child cup and snack holders, and rotating canopies; front seat holds up to 50 lbs. and rear seat up to 40 lbs. Purchasers appreciate that the infant seat rides rear-facing and the stroller can convert to hold two infant carriers; experts are impressed by the one-touch brakes and overall ease of use.
Graco's Quattro Tour Duo tandem stroller earns kudos from experts and users alike for its safety and ease of use. A Graco Quattro Tour Duo review by Baby Gizmo editors cites the rear brake bar, oversized drop-down storage basket, and easy "one-hand gravity fold" mechanism as particularly appealing features. Double stroller reviews on Buzzillions highly rank the Quattro Tour Duo for features like the child and parent snack trays and multi-position reclining seats.
The Quattro Tour Duo is ideally suited for parents of twin babies because it can accommodate two of Graco's top-rated infant carriers -- SnugRide 32 or Infant SafeSeat -- with one in each seat. This tandem has stadium seating and front and rear three- and five-point harnesses, so it also works well for two young children of different ages.
Although the Quattro Tour Duo is wallet-friendly, its many positive attributes still come at a price. It weighs a whopping 39 pounds on its own, before kids and gear are added, and its nearly four-foot length can be difficult to steer in off-road conditions. But if you're looking for a double travel system or you prefer a stroller fully-loaded, the Graco Quattro Tour Duo may be worth the extra effort.
