We bought this stroller in Aug 2010 for a newborn and a 21-month old. Yes, it's heavy. Yes, it takes a little time to get it all set up/broken down (although it is easy to do, just a little awkward). BUT---it is WELL worth it. It pushes easily, and while I wouldn't want to take it through any obstacle courses, it turns very well and is great for activities like walks, zoos, amusement parks, etc. I wouldn't want to take it with me into a clothing store with lots of clothes racks to maneuver around, but I would take it to the grocery store if need be. I like the many different seating configurations and LOVE that my daughter can listen to her music while we are on our walks using the ipod dock (my guess is that the ipod dock was meant for the riders, not the pushers, as the volume is not extremely loud, but just perfect for a little rider). I also put it together myself and found it very easy to assemble. I thought that I would miss having a tray for the kids, but it's really been no big deal. Each of them has their own cup holder, and so far that has sufficed. Love that when more children come along there are handles for the walkers to hold on to. All in all, this is a great stroller and we have enjoyed using it!

Contours Options Tandem II Stroller, Tangerine Customer reviews
it gets the job done - Alicia A. Wilson - Rolla, MO
after much reviewing of double strollers that would accept two infant car seats we settled on this one because it would accept two infant car seats (when you purchase the other car seat adapter which does not match the color of the stroller) and the seats could be configured to different seating positions. we have a set of 11 week old twins and a little girl who just turned two in June so we needed something that would be versatile for both and we found it in this stroller. There are pros and cons to this stroller and here they are
Pros: 1. iPod docking station (I don't own one so that is not a pro for me)
2. reconfiguring seat arrangements
3. adjustable height canopies
4. padded shoulder strap covers that cover the chest and shoulders
5. extra large basket
6. peek a boo window on the canopies
7. easy to fold (pull up on the sliders located just below the handle)
and push on the grey pedal on the basket
8. easy to open (just flip it open)
9. nice size parent tray with two deep cup holders
10.one detachable cup holder per child seat
11.padded removeable safety bar per seat that swivels and opens to
access the child easier
12.rides on rough terrain fairly smooth
Cons: 1. front wheels can be removed and sometimes fall off when opening stroller
2. the seat itself is not long enough for older or taller children
3. there is not enough room to fully recline both seats at the same time
4. sometimes difficult to steer when there is a heavier child in the front
seat and a lighter child or infant in the back seat
5. heavy
6. shoulder straps do not tighten down tight enough even for my two year old
7. big and bulky (takes up the cargo area of my minivan)
8. have to remove the seats or infant carriers to fold compactly and
completely
9. when using both seats it's difficult to access the basket underneath the
stroller
10.when reclining the back seat you cannot elevate the foot rest because it
will hit the seat in front
11.when using the infant carrier in the backseat you cannot recline the front
seat because it hits the infant carrier
for the cost of the stroller and if you need something that will carry two infant seats this is a good stroller. If you need to carry one infant seat and an older child I would look into something else (just my opinion). This stroller will probably need to be replaced when my twins reach two to three years of age.

Let me start by saying I NEVER write reviews, but after dealing with this stroller all afternoon and having just folded it up to store it in our garage, I felt inspired. This stroller is ridiculous! To be fair, I have no experience with other double strollers to compare it to. That said, there has got to be some better options. Before my son was born I used to take my now almost 3 year old daughter everywhere in her stroller. My husband and I share a car and I use the stroller to take her to the park, grocery shopping, etc. I was looking for a stroller I could use in the same way for my toddler and new baby. I definitely will not be able to use this the way I had hoped. It is HUGE, difficult to maneuver, and annoying to set up and put away since you have to take parts off and move the front seats position in order to do this. I cringe at the thought of having to wheel this beast through any store that isn't very large. I'm just very disappointed in this purchase and wish I'd had the opportunity to see it in person first.
