I was looking on TM and i came across this double stroller. I was wondering if anyone has it and what you do think of it...i like the look of it and i am very keen in getting one since it is the only i have seen that i like and is in my budget....lol...was looking at the Phil and Ted but it's a bit pricey!
Wow, that IS cool! I saw a lady with one the other day but didn't realise you could turn the seats to face each other!

I have had one of those. They are very nice but very heavy. Would you be using it for walking or to get in and out of your car. If i remember rightly it was close to 20kgs i didnt have it long as i have a bad back and couldnt keep lifting it. They would be great for walking tho.
It is auctuly called a Kolcraft Contours Option Tandem Stroller. Its weight is 52.5 lbs and it holds 40lbs in each seat. It does fold big. However alot of ppl love them. I did just wasnt any good for me when i had to lift it. Google the name as there are lots of reviews on the pram :)
Sorry that 52.5lbs is with the box which is 23.9 kg so yes i would think it was the 20kgs i thought it was. The reviews will help you heaps. Its a great looking buggy
Eek, 20kg IS heavy! My twin buggy was only 12 and that was bugger to lift.
Another thing - how small does it fold?

Ok so I have just spent the last two days researching these lol
This one is actually the Chelino version
The one I want to get is the Kolcraft because you can attach a infant capsule to the back by removing the rear seat, this one is exactly same same except it cant be used with a capsule. I asked babybuzz on trademe and they said that they stocked Kolcraft previously but now only do Chelino *rolls eyes* just my luck. If anyone knows anyone who is selling the Kolcraft one then I would be very interested because you cant get them anywhere in nz just these Chelino ones. They r on ebay and amazon but I have no idea how to buy off there lol.
(From what I have read in reviews the flaw is how heavy they are and how you have to remove one seat before folding it down) I have the single version of this and love it!!! Its not heavy though
I saw that one where you can attach the car seat too...but i think i was on amazon or ebay reading the reviews.... there were a couple of bad reviews but the majority loved it..
They seem cheaper on there too....or is that a different currency i didn't really look at that.
I think it works out almost the same with the exchange rate.
The one that holds the carseat is the ideal situation and a much faster way of getting littlies in the car. Im just going to hold out until a second hand Kolcraft comes up on TM hopefully one comes up soon!! I have seen a few second hand ones but they have all bee chilino.
I agree that most people thought they were great and sure its not everyones cup of tea but as it stands I am looking at buying a phil and teds vibe which is $1100 plus extras and DP is NOT impressed Even though he said I should get a quality one that I wanted, he didnt realise they were more than $500 lol.
LOL same i wanted a phil and ted too, but not to keen on spending that much money...and my mum and MIL dont like the look of them...one child under the other.....so i am wondering if i should just get a pram with a toddler seat instead. DP thinks i dont need a double pram because Lycan will be walking every where...but my thoughts are he may get tired while we are out and need to sit down and have a rest. The toddler seat would be good for that but not so good if he wants to have a sleep.....so there i go again back at square one... i'm just not sure what to do!
That sure does look cool but the weight is very off-putting. We have a particularly heavy one (Triton trekker with toddler seat in front) which is so awkward to lift in/out of the car/van that I have now left it at home for walks around the block, in favour of a simple double "umbrella" stroller.
Dam if only i still had my one of these as mine was the one with the carseat clip. Sorry laddies i cant help you out with that. They do look cool. I brought it because at the time i had a bugaboo and wanted a double that sort of had the same feel.
that is a really nice looking buggy (and nice price too!)
I just Googled it as well and none of the photos show either seat in a reclined position. So does that mean neither seat reclines?!!?!? Wouldn't be any good if you had a young baby (unless you always used the capsule)
I see that its been a while since this forum was posted in but I want to buy the Kolcraft 2009 Contours Options Tandem Stroller. I REALLY want it, but with all the conflicting stuff on line I am very confused. I would mean buying it on Amazon and shipping it to NZ so we would need to be VERY sure.
