I don't think you would want this one if you are looking for lightweight and easy to take places. You would have difficulty even fitting it into your trunk easily. It took up most of the trunk space of my Camry. It is better as one to pull out of the garage or home to take for a walk or jog. When you are shopping, look at the specifications for the stroller and compare the weights. That might help you narrow things down.

The jogger stroller is a little bit bulky. The 3 wheels do easily disconnect (with the push of a button) and easily re-connect (just push / snap into place), which makes more compact and easier to transport. I'm think the stroller would fit into the corolla trunk if you pop the wheels off. With that said, I would NOT consider this a "light weight easy to manage stroller". What we did is purchase this set (jogger stroller and carseat) and we also purchased the "frame stroller" -&gt; Graco SnugRider Elite Stroller & Car Seat Carrier (http://www.amazon.com/Graco-SnugRider-Elite-Stroller-Carrier/dp/B008OIPZW8/ref=sr_1_1?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1408646069&sr=1-1&keywords=graco+frame+stroller). We are glad we did - get the best of both worlds. - The "frame stroller" is super light weight and compact - we keep this in my wife's car trunk all the time and use it whenever we are around town (I.e. grocery shopping, dining, etc). - We use the jogger stroller when going on walks from home, or when we want something more heavy duty (I.e. going to an amusement park, going to the beach, or just about anything that is a longer all-day adventure). Now that our daughter is getting a little bit older / bigger (15 months) she really enjoys sitting in the jogger stroller without the carseat (prefers it greatly over sitting in the carseat). Hope that helps...

I love this stroller. We walk on and off paved paths without a problem. And it is pretty light as long as you keep the tires aired up.

I bought this for my second child. I've tried a lot of strollers over the course of 5 years and the maclaren is by far the best of them all. I even have the double Phil&Ted.; This one is the lightest (I have problems in my ribs and I can't lift heavy). I love it

I've definitely felt lighter strollers but it's not too heavy. Sometimes I can pull the "FastAction" strap easily and it folds down and sometimes I have to yank it a couple times like a lawn mower. The biggest problem is that the side latch stopped working for me pretty shortly after I got it. So when picking it up and pulling it out, it comes unfolded or I have to take it out awkwardly.

I found this stroller to be very flimsy, not at all like the other mountain Buggys. I have the triple and the double and I live their durability, but I was extremely disappointed with the mountain buggy plus one. I found it hard to steer while running and very cumbersome in general. I hope this helps

I love this stroller . It folds compact and easy to use. Yet roomy for the baby.

Kinda hard espesially if your kid is bigger and you load the trunk with grocery shopping, but I still love this stroller because of roomy seat, huge canopy, easy fold and light weigh plus relatively affordable price. I did a big research before purchasing it and didn't find anything better!

I never actually saw the stroller as I bought it for my granddaughter. However, we did return it because it was really lightweight and tipped very easily. I asked my DIL and she said it would not be suited for rugged outdoor play. Hope that helped.

I had a Graco snug ride 35 and it wasn't the best fit. I strapped it in while trying it out but never actually used it like that while I was out. He loved it with out his infant seat. Best stroller i have ever owned by far.

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.

If you think this stroller really will fit your needs then maybe you could invest in a stroller carry bag. Just a thought.

I would not buy this stroller. It is cheaply made and ours broke and the wheel fell off after the second use. (Gentle use on sidewalk) If you want a side by side, Graco makes a nice one. It costs more but its durable. Joovy makes a nice Sit and stand that would be perfect for your kids ages. We have 5 kids and that worked well for us.

I bought this stroller about 2 months ago and my son will be 2..so I am not really sure what car seat would be best comparable. I have Graco so that's what I will be using when second baby comes along;) good luck! This is an awesome stroller though. My husband and I both love it!!

I would go to a baby store that has an assembled stroller in stock and let the clerk know you want to buy a double, but you have to make sure it will fit in your trunk first. Both the local Buy Buy Baby and Babies R Us, let me try a couple of strollers in the trunk of my Fit and my sister's PT.

We do it ALL the time!!! You might also want to look into the Joovy Bumprider Universal Stroller Board. :)

the stroller is very light weight, making it a nice first stroller. If the child needs to lean heavily on it for support, this stroller will not help much. For a child that is fairly stable, the stroller will help slightly with balance, but still tips easily. It is ideal once they are more confident walkers.

i have a boy and a girl and i own the countours tandem stroller and i love it i never go anywhere with out it... ohh and have i said my boy was 11 1/2 months old when my baby girl was born??? he didnt walk or anything ..... i use my stroller still and baby big girl just turned 2 the last week of july and baby big boy turned 3 the second week of august...they are 351 days apart.... so we live in texas and we have several outdoor things here yearround so i love that the wheels just go on all types of ground or pebbles and rocks , concreate, dirt, mud, grass... and i have a 1st cousin who lived in colorado and she has the same exact stroller , she loves hers too..... now it is a little bigger than some but not to much for me ..im 5'7" tall and usually around 165lbs.... im not a small woman or a large woman im not pettite in any way and i do have 3 feet of legs so that may make a difference but i drive a ford fusion and it goes in and out easily. now the only place i have ever run into something or someone is at the peds. office but i have seen women do it with the umberella strollers .... so .... the biggest problem i have heard about from moms of multipuls is about side by side strollers they dont fit through doorways or mall isles or any isles actually...... hope this is helpful , feel free to email me at kednb@aol.com if you have any questions about this stroller including if you want actual pics.....
