Almost perfect!
April 1, 2021
Thanks to Stellar Product Testing Panel for this stroller. I am pretty much a stroller connoisseur at this point and this Ready to Grow is almost perfect.
This stroller is long, not wide. If you can fit the stroller in your trunk length wise or standing closed (very thin maybe in your garage) this is the double stroller you want.
How heavy? It's on the heavy side. But it is as sturdy as it is smooth. Mom's are super humans, so just think of holding a three year old and a one year old and two bags of groceries, for about 20 seconds in and out of the trunk. You're only taking it in and out of the car, so you got this. Also, not as heavy as a stroller wagon, just looks like it would be.
Besides the weight thing, I think it's worth it.
Pros:
- Not as heavy as a stroller wagon.
- Decent storage.
- Older toddler can stand and sit with out crowding you too much while you push the stroller around.
- The standing board is far away enough that tall people won't kick it.
- The handle height is just right for all heights.
- The kids like it!
Cons:
- Although there is decent, mostly easy-access, under carriage storage, (two kids jackets and a backpack maybe), there is no adult storage up top for your phone and keys per se. You do get a small cup holder that did not make it past second use. Lost in the shuffle and kid vortex too soon hahah
- It would be great if the small seat canopy could also cover attached back seat area when seat not attached.
This stroller is smooth although, as I mentioned it's on the heavier side. It feels light to maneuver even with all added kid weight and daily luggage.
This definitely grows with you, as the top portion clicks in with a carseat for newborns, plus you have the additional chair for when both need a proper chair to sit on, and then bottom attached seat, and standing board for easy off and on.
Obviously you don't have all of these connected at once, but you have a lot of options here.
I wish there was an option to fold the whole stroller in half again. Or the option to store in two pieces. I know that would make it less sturdy, but if at one point needed extra space you could put that stroller in the trunk in two pieces instead of as one long piece.
If you have the space, don't mind the weight and carrying your phone in your pocket/ don't mind spending a couple more bucks to get something to keep your phone near the handle bar, you will be good to go with this stroller for a long while.
