with my first son , we buy a `` travel system '' stroller and car seat . as he get older I realize I avoid use the stroller b\/c it be large and heavy , and be not easy to fit into my trunk . I wish I have buy a stroller with the longer term in mind since the infant seat be use for only the first 9-12 month . by 7-8 month of age , baby can comfortably ride in a stroller without the infant seat . so , when I find out I be expect twin I be much pickier about the stroller we would buy . after look at ton of stroller , we settle on this one to use for they first year b\/c it be so lightweight and easy to use . it be as easy as can be to lift the light stroller frame out of the car , and snap the seat right into it . it swivel and steer as easily as I would expect any tandem stroller to . the only drawback be that it be difficult to access diaper bag in the bottom compartment when both baby seat be in the stroller . however , this have not hinder we from use this stroller frequently when we take the baby out on walk or shopping . I simply bring a large empty beach bag when shop with the baby alone , fill the bag as I shop , and have the cashier return my merchandise to the bag after I pay . it be enable I to get out of the house with the baby fairly easily to have this easy to use stroller . I highly recommend it . just a addition - my baby be now 8 month old and we just purchase the Graco IPO twin as a lightweight stroller for 2 toddler . it be significantly lighter , smaller , and have a higher weight capacity for kid than many other twin stroller so this stroller frame definitely enable we to get a easier toddler stroller .
