How does it compare to the Contours Options LT Tandem Stroller?

It's a little large then the Contours Options LT Tandem Stroller. The basket is a lot bigger & each child has their own cup holder & it has the parent tray with 2 additional cup holders. On the Optima Aluminum the child seats are even with each other in height. Where on the Options LT the back is higher than the front. So if facing face to face one child is higher than the other. Both are well made & easy to steer. Also there is a little more room between both seats on Optima Aluminum then the Options LT. I hope this helps! Our major things we were looking for where for the seats to recline all the way back & we wanted a double that was front to back not side by side. We found it with this stroller! Good luck!

We went with the optima Aluminium tandem stroller. As the extra space in the basket is useful for all 3 of our kids things. Also just an FYI as it wasn't clear on discription but it does come with one car seat adapter. As I thought it didn't come with one at all so ordered seperately. Now need to return. As we only needed one.

Mark, there is no really difference in actual stroller structure - just material that is used for this (Rocco) model is different, design a bit different thats all - but it is the same strong stroller. Let me know if you want to know something else. Helen

Yes, we HAD this stroller. Save yourself a great deal of frustration and return it now, it does not get better. We returned ours before the window of opprotuity passed. It was a great decsion! It's too bad because we loved everything else about the stroller. Looking to get the Thule stroller next.

I had a Peg Prego Vela before I bought the City Mini. The front wheel got stuck all the time and I hated it. I sold it after a few months and bought the City mini. I wish I had just gotten it in the first place. I love it, love the fold, love the weight, love how easily it pushes and turns. It reclines well and I love the canopy, it's huge! I also like that when you recline the seat, there is a mesh part to allow air to flow through the stroller. I would go City Mini, hands down, even though I am not familiar with that Peg Perego model.

Hi. Did you two purchase the stroller? If so, I'd love to hear how you rate the stroller? Is it worth the price? Has it held up well over time? Any annoyances? Good customer service? Thanks!

My child is still an infant so can't answer this one yet. My sister has a 1 yr old and has the same stroller without any issues. We both got the GT for the all-terrain feature but still light weight. So I don't think it will be a big deal

I LOVE this stroller btw!! Extra large basket, drives great, cup holders, snack holders, adequate shades, back seat lays all the way down, front seat goes to 45 degree angle, which is great for naps! It cleans easily. Basket let's down for easy access when seats are reclines. It folds easy, sets up easy & at 5'3" I easily get it into the back of my suburban! I've used other doubles & this is well worth the money. I only wish there had been more fabric selections.

We just went through this. I hated all the safety 1st strollers that this seat latches into. We used the clic system and the stroller still annoys me to no end. We ended up with the Chicco cortina together double stroller after spending a few hours at babies r us going through all the double strollers with our car seat. We found that if you recline the back seat a click or two that this car seat will fit snuggly rear facing inside. It won't click into place despite the similar attachment system it uses with its bases but it definitely won't pop out. It works nicely with the strollers sun shade and the seats sun shade, makes a great little cocoon. The only con is that the front seat had to site upright and cannot recline with the seat in back. I love the stiller in itself too. The back fully reclines to a bassinet and it handles very well with a kid in front and the seat in back. I highly recommend it

It's the same width as a regular stroller- maybe a little wider, but VERY long. I don't find it especially easy to maneuver, and if you will be using the carseat attachment it is even longer. When we travelled and knew we would be using public transportation I didn't bring this stroller. I felt it would be too unweildly for the trains- especially because it really takes two hands to close and with two little ones I just didn't have enough hands!

It seems a bit heavier than a previous jogging stroller I had. I never verified accuracy of that but it doesn't have the safety cord so this alone screams "not a jogging stroller". But I did take it on a 5k once and wouldn't do that again just because it's just harder. The wheels are also more like a dirt bike wheels than a cycling wheel so you'll have more resistance there too.

I think it's fantastic but a completely different stroller than the City Mini GT. The GT is a one-piece stroller made for 6mth+ babies. I'm not sure if it has a car seat adapter; they probably do. The GT is heavier as well but the plus side is if City Mini offers a car seat adapter then you only need to buy one stroller. Whereas with the Chicco Keyfit, the baby will outgrow it as soon as he/she is no longer in a car seat. Having said that, I LOVED having my Chicco Keyfit Caddy because it was very light and VERY easy to use. As a first time mom, that's what I was looking for.

I think you will like the stroller. My wife and I bought this because it covers all types of terrane. It moves with little effort and the dogs love it. We have two small dogs and they will jump in it without any effort on our part

Not a great choice for either I would say... its not an offroad stroller, and its simply too large to be reasonable at a busy airport. I wont lie, this sucker is heavy and long. I would take measurements of your vehicle before you buy because it wont fit in some. That said for things like zoo days or parks with sidewalks, we absolutely love it. Our 4 year has some physical limitations and the back seat allows her easy in and out and lets her feel like a big kid without being strapped into a traditional mobility stroller. I completely endorse it, but you need to be aware this is probably not an every day kind of stroller.

Like you, I'm trying to decide between the two. There's someone on the Britax reviews that has used both. Apparently this one slides out of place everytime the kid gets in and out.

The seats are secure. They do rock a little forward and back once snapped in, but it would be a bumpy and uncomfortable ride for the kids if they didn't since the tires are not inflated. It folds flat easily and fits well in the back of a van or wagon. It handles well, just don't expect the turning radius of a single stroller. Would definitely buy this again. We looked at numerous tandem strollers and you will not find a better one without spending $700+.

If you haven't already decided - I'd go with the SnugRide and this frame. The SafeSeat isn't worth it. You won't want to haul the baby around in the carrier when it's heavy enough to exceed the SnugRide weight limit. In fact, our son outgrew the SnugRide at about 5 months by height (he's 99 percentile) and was about 16 lbs at the time and already too heavy to carry around when you add the 7lbs of the carrier. Also he was sitting up at that time, so we were able to go straight to the umbrella stroller.So...in summary I recommend the SnugRide, this frame, a good umbrella stroller (MacLaren Volo), and then switch to a convertible carseat (Evenflo Triumph Advance).

I personally have the Jeep Commander jogging stroller (LOVE), works great with that one. I haven't come across too many other strollers that iyt wouldn't work with. It's a pretty basic car seat shape. :)
