Review 1 for Kolcraft - Universal Express Rider Tandem Stroller

Great Value!

First one of these we ordered had to be returned because it was damaged when it arrived but i'm really glad we decided to reorder this same one. This stroller is great for the price! We put it to test on vacation and it is durable. It folds up into a nice compact size.

Horrible double stroller!! The front seat doesn't recline at all. My 18 month old son's feet would drag on the ground. You have to secure the car seat with a strap. Good luck trying to fit anything into the basket (especially if the back seat is reclined). After a few months of aggravation I traded it in at Babies R Us and bought a Baby Trend navigator double stroller. Both my babies are a lot more comfortable now!

This is a good alternative to shelling out several hundred dollars for a double stroller to accomodate your first carseat for newborns. The Chicco car seat fits into the stroller. Even though it doesn't click, just be sure to strap it in securely. Would recommend. We have a 20 month old and a 5 week old. This will serve its purpose.

I like the looks of this stroller but am not impressed by the way the stroller pushes with two kids in it. It's hard to steer and get around in and the bottom storage compartment isn't very easy to get stuff in and out of.

This is a great option when money is an issue.
*Rides smooth & turns easily.
*Easy to open & fold up.
*Fits my Chicco infant car seat.
*Front tray is removable
*I would have rated it 5 stars if it had a cup holder or small storage compartments near the push handle.
Over all, we are very satisfied with our decision to spend less & not get all the bells & whistles- it's a great value for the price, this stroller is definitely worth more!

Love this stroller!

My sons are currently 18 months and 3 months old, and this stroller is GREAT for our family. We've used it for short walks around our neighborhood, a trip to the park, and a couple of longer excursions to our State Fair. I love the neutral gray and bright green colors, that it easily fits our carseat (Chicco KeyFit 30) and reclines for our newborn, the front snack tray is removable for our older son, and the stroller maneuvers very well for as long as it is. The storage basket is quite large and it's easy to get items in and out of it. I do miss the parent cupholder a little, but the basket underneath has a couple of small mesh pockets at the front - I can put my cell phone, camera, and a drink down there nicely. I find it extremely easy to fold and unfold the stroller, it really is a one-handed operation! There are a couple of things you need to watch - that the front hood is folded all the way back and the wheels aren't turned too much before you fold it up, but once I got used to those, it's quickly loaded in the car. The only small downsides I've found are that the foot rest in the front could be lower (my son has long legs) and/or adjustable, and that my husband got a little rambunctious with the front snack tray and cracked part of it while unsnapping it from the stroller frame. I would advise others to be careful with the tray, as ours is a little tough to remove and the plastic isn't indestructible. Overall, I am supremely happy with our purchase; it is a terrific product, especially for the reasonable price.

Review 9 for Kolcraft - Universal Express Rider Tandem Stroller

deceiving product description

Just received the stroller. I like pretty much everything about it, but the rear seat does NOT fully recline as described. It only goes halfway down. The reason I bought this stroller was because I thought I could use it without a carseat with baby laying flat for the times I do not want to use the carseat. I am probably going to return it, as the whole purpose of this stroller is gone with a rear seat only half way reclined...
I also have to say, that the way the carseat is beeing attached, is not the best way. You have to buckle it with straps....

double the stroller, double LESS stress

I have a 2 year old and a 6 montth old. This product came in handy for many reasons. The weight requirement for the stroller is a lot higher than most double strollers. My 2 year old (autistic) son is the size of a 5 year old, in height and weight. But with this stroller it can handle his weight while still carrying an infant :-). The shock absorbant wheels make bumps in the road seem nonexistant and the spacious backseat can fit a carseat or my overly large toddler! He likes to put his feet on the ground when he sits in front, so the backseat eliminates the stalls he causes in our walks (everytime he sees a tree he wants to stop lol) but the front seat is big enough if he does sit in front AND small enough that if I put my 6 month old daughter in front, she isn't falling all over the seat with too much room. Kudos for this excellent family transportation device. I went from a baby carrier, back pain and super small (biggest I could find) single stroller; to this masterpiece on wheels!!!

My granddaughters love it. I wish the front seat would recline just a little so she could get a better nap. But I still love it!

great for baby not for toddler

I got this stroller due to finding out I was having another baby at first glance it looks great very easy to put together and so on. but, since my daughter is rather tall for her age it does become quite snug and she is only 2 years old and her feet practically touch the ground! even the infant part doesnt have over the shoulder straps either. Also putting grocerys or anything underneath is near impossible and getting them out too. the back part to go up cant partially go up it has to be fully down or fully up. the tray for the toddler doesn't go up either so putting your toddler in is kinda a pain. the stroller does fold very easily is very light and runs well so I guess if your toddler in the front is short or average this might be the stroller for you but, I would not reccommend it at all to anyone! so in conclusion, for 116.00 this stroller is not worth it pay the extra to get one that's a lot better.

Have a 19 month old, and about to have a baby. This is a great value for a tandem stroller. And the car seat attaches with out having to buy additional parts like some more expensive strollers. I like the fact I can remove the feeding tray on the front one so my toddler doesn't feel so restrained. Its light weight and folds down to about the size of my single seater jogging stroller. Added bonus the colors match all our decor for the new baby :-)

Not bad

The backseat does not lie flat like some reviews have said, but it does recline quite a bit. Many of the parts are just plastic flimsy things (like the fake spring "suspension" around the front wheels), but for the price, it's really not bad. I work full time, so I won't be using it THAT much, but if I were going to be using it daily, I might spring for something more high end.

I had this stroller in my cart for the longest not just because of the price *which by the way is unbeatable for a doubble stroller* but because of the reviews. I ordered it on Thurday and got it on Tuesday another plus. I have a 22 months old and in 2 weeks another lil one. I love the color, and its easy to assemble. It looks like it could have cost more then what the price really is. I love the fact that its easy to fold and that the car seat I have fits well with it. Even tho I havent taken it out I still give it 5 out 5. Would 100% recommend even if it doesn't have have a top cup holder.

This stroller is great.. it rolls smoothly and very easy to push.. u can open and close it real easy too.. the only bad thing is i think is the carrying basket under the stroller is way to small and the space u have to put the bag into the basket is way to small and tight.. but besides that i love the stroller..
