The Graco Quattro Tour Duo Stroller is the double version of the very popular single Quattro stroller by Graco. With reclining seats, Graco car seat compatibility and stadium-like elevated seating, the Quattro Duo is proving to be just as well received as the original Quattro single. Whether you have two infants, an infant and a toddler, or two toddlers, the Graco Quattro Tour Duo Stroller can cater for any combination (a great advantage over, say, stand-on tandem strollers which require one toddler to stand) and when the trip is done, you can benefit from the instant ‘gravity-fold’ feature which is one of the most favored features among parents pressed for time.

If you have two children with quite a bit of an age difference then your options consist of either getting a tandem stroller with a platform for the elder child to stand on, or you can go the traditional route and get a more conventional double stroller like the Graco Quattro Tour Duo Stroller. When I mention conventional, that’s not to say that the Graco Quattro Tour Duo is conventional in every sense: I suppose the ‘normal’ double stroller would be an ‘old school’ stroller which consists of the one long seat with two seatbelts, whereas the Graco Quattro Tour Duo has entirely separate seats, one at a higher elevation than the other. The primary upside to the Graco Quattro Tour Duo Stroller over platform based tandem strollers or single seat double strollers is the flexibility that the separate seats can handle up to 50 lbs each – so you can put toddlers and infants in the seats without any problem. And if you have a particularly tall toddler, you don’t have to worry about his/her feet dragging on the ground as the elevated seats make this impossible. Even the front/bottom seat is elevated far enough to prevent drag, which is relatively rare for any kind of stroller.
My personal impression of the Graco Quattro Tour Duo Stroller is that it is convenient thanks to click-in car seats, huge storage space in the bottom basket, loads of cup holders and a very fast fold down function. These features are equally as popular with other reviewers as well, being the main contributor to the average 4.4/5 star rating we see on Amazon, not to mention favorable Graco Quattro Tour Double Stroller reviews on various parenting websites. Another good thing about the Graco Quattro Tour Duo Stroller is that it is the same width as any single stroller which makes it ideal for narrow streets, footpaths and shopping aisles. Having had twins myself I have unfortunately dealt with the nightmare of a traditional, wide double stroller, I know from first hand experience that one can never underestimate the importance of decreasing the width of the stroller as much as possible, of course without compromising on quality. I think that with the Quattro Tour Duo, Graco has struck a fine balance.
I had a bit of a hard time coming up with some downsides for you to consider, however after scouring numerous parenting sites for Graco Quattro Tour Double Stroller reviews and playing around with the Graco Quattro Tour Duo for an extra hour or two, I did happen upon a few (though not many) slight imperfections. Number one, as you might expect from a double stroller, the Graco Quattro Tour Duo Stroller is quite heavy when fully loaded. Number two – this stroller folds quickly, but it does take up quite a bit of space, though not an exceptionally large amount given that it is a double stroller. Third and finally, the front shade could be made bigger as it is a tad too small. But if these are the only bad things about the Graco Quattro Tour Duo Stroller, then Graco has done very well indeed. And at below $200 in some places, the Graco Tour Duo is the best double stroller for parents who want separate seats for each child. There are very few things which could be improved upon here.
