Pleasantly Surprised
March 29, 2012
Solid construction, easy fold, excellent quality of materials, comparable to my baby jogger city mini if not a tad better, came with replacement belly bar from recall, awesome canopies with innovative features. Only comes with one sleeping bag warmer, although I quickly figured out why- my 2 year old is just about too big for it, seems like it was made for infants. THIS IS NOT A GOOD TWIN STROLLER unless your kids are already a bit older. You can only use one infant car seat with it (on either side) another won't fit. Its pretty well tailored for kids of different ages, though. I have a 2 year old and a newborn and it's great. The basket on this model doesn't have a zipper like the newer ones, but I was ok with the compromise for the sale price. The color is better than I was expecting- I was a little nervous about "olive". Perfect for my two boys and goes well with my black and silver britax chaperone. This stroller takes up a decent amount of room in the back of my Mazda 5, but I can stand it on its side and still fit luggage for my family of 4, which was a must. Haven't tried it in a small trunk. I bought the kolcraft contours options and sent it back before ordering this one and I'm soooooo glad I did! The options was an unweildy monster- but the tango fits beautifully between doorways and swivels around the mall like a dream. Still have to stay out of smaller aisles but there is no way I would have been able to maneuver with the kolcraft (which, by the way, didn't fit in my car and was impossible to carry, and im 5'8 and fit)My 2 year old's head hits the canopy in places if he tugs it down, but he is enamored with the shades and doesn't seem to mind at all! I am completely satisfied with this purchase and would choose it again if given the option.
Pros
- Solid, good materials, cute color, great maneuverability
Cons
- No zippered basket (although newer models have it)
