Contours Tandem Stroller- easy to travel with? Will I really have to take the second seat out to close the stroller?

Yes, you will really need to remove the second seat. It can be a bit of a pain, but it does get easier with practice. I'd be concerned about the seat getting lost, though. There is a strap to secure the removed seat to the folded stroller, but it jars loose in my van - I can't imagine that it'd stay put in an airplane. While I love this stroller, I really wouldn't want to take it on a plane.

It folds super easy, twice actually. However, it doesn't have trays, just dinky cup holders that are very shallow. The undercarriage baskets are small and hard to get to as well (not sure how much you'd be packing in them for Disney...). The stroller is fairly lightweight and easy to maneuver if you're just out strolling on smooth surfaces, but if you want to go into a shopping center with narrow aisles forget it!

You are very welcome :) I use it on my second baby and still love it. I hope you find a stroller you are happy with! good luck!

The easiest way is to put the chair face forward and pass the airline safety belt through the slots on the back of the chair. The chair is quite light and compact. I was traveling overseas alone with my one-year old, and was able to carry both the baby and the chair (and a diaper bag, and a backpack and a stroller) I still keep this chair for future flights.

Yep. I have the stroller too and I love the set. It's easy to use and makes a great travel system for infant and an older child.

We took the gamble and bought this bag reading reviews on other websites that it could handle the City Select with two seats. After about 20 minutes of figuring out the puzzle, yes, I could fit the whole stroller (w/two seats)in the bag. However, I think it will only work one way and it's not quick. First, you have to disassemble every thing, that is, all four wheels have to come off, the front posts that hold the front seat, the canopies from the seats, and the aluminum extrusion that forms the foot rests for each seat. Perfectly fold the stroller body together and sit it flat in the bag. Then place the front wheels and posts at the bottom of the bag. With the foot rests off the seats, they fold up fairly flat, stack them on each other atop the stroller (Note: place the head of the seat towards the bottom of the bag and tilt the foot rest towards the back of the bag. Lastly, stack the 12" wheels at the top of the bag, stacking them within each other and angling them against the seats, (when stacking them, alternate the axles, one up and one down). I was able to get the two canopies in placing them atop everything, but it then got pretty tight. When we travel in a couple weeks, I think we'll place the canopies in another piece of luggage.

Very easy to fold down. I frequently travel by air with my dog and can quickly drop this stroller into the folded state at security and at the end of the jet way (for gate checking).

In my opinion, I would NOT chose this as the only stroller I have.... It is heavy, the heaviest stroller I've had to deal with, so to get it in and out of a vehicle all the time world get to be a nuisance. I still have trouble folding it up. Not the easiest fold.

Will do! :) How funny. I am now actually looking at the Graco Quattro Tour Duo for my first primary stroller, just because it's cheaper and comes with cupholders, carseat attachments, etc. I looked at the Duoglider in the store and it was horrible, but the Quattro has better reviews and supposedly folds down 20% smaller. Looking at the measurements, it SHOULD fit... never know though. I'm going to try that one out this week. The boutique I went to to look at the City Mini actually had the Quattro Duo in stock but I just totally didn't even look at it, ha.

It looks comfortable for my daughter who is 2.5yo. She is not too low to the ground. The cons for me is that it's a little tight in the back that it's a tad difficult for my daughter to get in the stroller and i usually have to lift her up onto the stroller. And the seat has to be taken out to be stowed and put back on the stroller when needed. But i think the rumble might be a little unsuitable for a 6mo old? If you can, go to a baby store that has it and see it. Because the rumble doesn't recline, the strap on it is not as strong and tight for younger babies.

If baby is upright in the stroller, access is easy. If reclined/sleeping, not so much.

I am not sure how to post a photo of mine folded, but I did find one elsewhere... See link. I really like this stroller. It doesn't fold "in", but--it's got a handle on the side and makes for easy carrying. I've done bus, air travel and train with it thus far, no complaints! http://www.strollerdepot.com/photos/0533.d.jpg

I love the stroller. I don't lock it down in the front. I honestly forgot it did latch down. But in answer to the question, if I don't get all the buttons on the handle down at the same time while I twist I just won't fold. I think it's for safety. Keep practicing.

You don't have to remove the seat to fold but folding is not as easy as the regular travel system. you can check a youtube vedio to get a better idea. I'm returning it because the handbrake is not working well after one month. Otherwise it's great.

Very easy to open and close! It opens with a pull-up motion on the handle and closes with the pull of a lever (not far below the handle on the sides of the frame). It is kind of bulky to maneuver in and out of my trunk, but it is not too heavy that I strain (like I did with some of my tandem strollers). I recommend this stroller to all of my friends with multiple children!

I wouldn't recommend this for a standard double stroller. You may not be able to close it up, which means your stroller would be exposed to damage during travel.
