Havinga double stroller has made shopping and running errands possible for me again,especially since my boys are both runners and think that hide-and-go-seek instores is a good idea {it is not}. Needless to say, a good double stroller canmake all the difference in the world!
As aKolcraft Mom I was given the opportunity to review the Contours Optima TandemStroller. I have been eyeing the Contours tandem stroller since I found out Iwas pregnant with baby number two. One thing that I was excited to try out wasthe switchable seating options and it did not disappoint.
The ContoursOptima Tandem Stroller is
What we love about theContours OptimaTandem Stroller:
- Myfavorite thing about this double stroller is the fact that it has so manyseating options and will be able to grow with my family. Right now my two boyslike to face each other and talk while we are out and about, but they are notalways so agreeable and I love that I have the option to change the directionboth seats face to suit our current mood. There are six different seat options!
- Thisstroller comes with one infant car seat adapter that works with a variety ofcar seats {a list can be easily found on the Kolcraft website under Specifications}.It is incredibly easy to switch our the contours seat for the car seat adapterand it only clicks and locks into place in one direction – so you know that youare installing the infant seat correctly and securely.
- Ilove that there is a parent tray. A lot of strollers are doing away with thisfeature and it drives me crazy. I need my parent tray. I drink hot coffee inthe morning and I need a secure place to put it while taking my kiddos out fora walk. If we are going for a short walk – I don’t always need my entire diaperbag either, so a place to put a cell phone and keys is nice too. The parenttray clips on, but can be removed if you so choose to remove it. The kids evenhave removable cups holders as well.
- The strolleris a freestanding stroller, meaning that when it is collapsed it can standupright - thus reducing the amount of space needed to store it when not in use.I really like that I don’t have to remove the seats in order to collapse thestroller. It can be folded with both seats still attached {I do this with myseats facing each other}.
- TheContours Optima tandem stroller is adjustable. The height of the5-point-harness is adjustable as well as the canopies. This is a conveniencethat I do not take lightly since I have a couple of very tall boys who do notalways fit in standard strollers. The seats themselves can recline and thefootrest is adjustable too.
- I amalso a big fan of the HUGE storage basket. I have a love of big diaper bags andbig purses and I need a place to put them when strolling with my family. Thestorage basket is large and leaves plenty of room for extra shopping bags –even when my diaper bag is in there too.
Thereis a lot to like about this stroller. I have found that it handles really well;I have had problems with other tandem strollers not being easy to navigate particularlythroughout stores. I had no problems maneuvering this stroller with bothchildren sitting in the seats. Weight was not an issue.
Somethingto be aware of with the Contours Optima Tandem Stroller is the fact that itcomes with a little assembly required, not a lot. My original handle did notinclude the longer screws that were needed to secure the handle in place and asa result the handle came loose and the screws fell out. This was easily fixedby calling customer service. They quickly sent out a replacement handle and thecorrect screws and now my handle is safe and secure and I have experienced nowobbling. This was not really a fault with the performance of the stroller itself– of which I have no complaints.
This stroller is good from birth up to 40lbsper seat {total 80lbs}.
