Every time I see a mom with a tandem stroller I feel bad for her. I think of the vehicle that must be parked out back to accommodate such a gargantuan piece of equipment and also think of her poor back every time she hurls the darn thing into her trunk.
It was once believed that a tandem stroller was only needed if you had twins, but many moms are having their children close together and are using them to transport a newborn and toddler.
Fisher Price has introduced a great stroller that has an added platform on the back for your older child and a few other features that will come in handy while out shopping or on vacation.
Here are a few reasons I like this stroller:
1. Infant seat latch system conveniently secures baby in the comfort of their own car seat.
2. Active gear with extra room when your family needs it! Traditional stroller seating with an expandable, extra large storage basket, plus snack/toy tray and 3-point safety harness.
3. Stroller seating up front, ride-along platform in the back.
4. Converts to seating for two, with a jump seat for the bigger kids in your family.
Compatible with most Fisher-Price®, Britax® and Graco® infant car seats.

Have any of you tried the Joovy Caboose stroller? If so, do you prefer this one over the Joovy? Why?
I bought the Fisher Price stand ‘n ride stroller at Toys R Us in Kitchener 2 weeks ago. It was on sale for $139, down from $230, as it’s discontinued.
Also, I’ve heard that Joovy Caboose is very good, even though it doesn’t look as sturdy or as nice as the Fisher Price one. I’ve heard it’s easy to maneuver and light weight. Unfortunately they didn’t have any of the Joovy in stock in Kitchener 2 weeks ago and I couldn’t wait for a new order to get in.
The Joovy Caboose is definitely a good alternative to this stroller. It has many of the same features, but as the reader before me pointed out – it may be less sturdy because it is so lightweight.
Because Fisher Price decided to discontinue the production of this stroller, some families may not have any choice but to look to Joovy for a great stand on tandem.
Here is the link to the post we did on the Caboose.

Stacy what is big lots?
Big lots is just a store that we have in the state we are in Kentucky. If I knew so many people wanted one I would have bought a couple and they could have paid for the product and shipping :o)
Just wanted to say I live in Tulsa, OK and just bought this stroller at BIG LOTS for $99 also!!! I honestly bought it blindsightedly without doing any research bc the price seemed like a great deal AND bc I knew I wanted a sit and stand (baby #2 due in Sept). No that I’ve read all the reviews Im soooo glad I made the decision! Good luck to everybody…lol…we moms are so funny =)

just found on last night at big lots but didn’t want to buy it without researching it.. this seems to be the only place i’ve been able to get any info on it..
everyone seems to have a good response.. it’s $99 at big lots.
Just wanted to let you know that I went to Big Lots last night in Idaho and they had the Fisher Price Stand ’n Ride Duo Stroller for $99.
Also just purchased the FIsher Price Sit and Stand stroller at Big Lots for $99.00. Limited Supply-There were about 3-4 at each store. So hurry. (Torrance, Lomita, Carson, Ca.)
Big Lots in Torrance, Lomita and Carson, Ca carry the Fisher Price Sit and Stand stroller for $99. I just bought one today. Good Luck
it has been discontinued, due to flaws in the design. i have one myuslef and the baskets(both) are falling apart. i have spoke with a few other moms in town, who have had more seriuos breakage to their units that nearly injured their children. if you do find one, beware in its use. it is a wonderful stroller, however is flawed. i suggest going with a joovy sit n stand. if you do get one and have any problems with it, be sure to call FP as they are refunding damaged ones
does anyone know the weight on this stroller?
I just bought this stroller yesterday @ Big Lots for $99 and we tried it out today @ Sea World. We LOVED it and so did my girls. (2yrs & 9months). It was easy to use and didnt have any problems w/ it. It isn’t light weight as the Joovy BUT if you look at both, the FP is more sturdy. I am very happy w/ this buy and highly recommend it.
Hi,
I would REALLY like this stroller and am living in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada…Anyone have one available to sell…toys r us doesn’t have them anymore!
I saw the Stand ‘n Ride Duo Stroller in a Big Lots Ad for $99 just today. I don’t know if they have them at every store though.
I just wanted to thank everyone who has been posting about this stroller being available at Big Lots. I decided just this weekend that I wanted a sit n stand stroller for my 3 1/2 year old and 11 month old. I have been looking at the others available but had not made my decision until last night when I saw the other posts about Big Lots and the Fisher Price stroller. I went this morning and bought one in the St. Louis area when I left they were holding one and only had the floor model left. How funny that I was able to track down this stroller through this website. Thanks again for whomever it was that let the rest of us know about this!!! Can’t wait to use my new stroller, unfortunately it was been raining and raining and raining here so we haven’t gone anywhere. Good luck to the rest of you. Let me know if someone would like me to snag a stroller for you from around here!!! email me at haras79@hotmail.com
I just purchased this at BigLots for $99. I had to spend 2 hours putting it together. It is a very poor design. I am 5’7″ and can hardly see over the shade to push the stroller in front of me. The push bar goes well above my chest making it very uncomfortable to push the stroller and makes me look very awkward. The 2 bars that the front snack tray attaches too were not installed properly and we were only able to fix by unscrewing the strollers anchor system to fix it. It was a BIIIIG hassle… maybe thats why its sold at discount stores like Big Lots because all the name brand stores clearanced the item out due to malfunction.
I hate it…
I’ve now been able to use mine a couple of times and can not stand it. I agree with Melissa that the handle is much too high and my son lays on the baby to see under the canopy. It’s too heavy and too long and hard to move. I prefer my Graco double stroller. The Fisher Price Stand N Ride is going back and I’m getting a Joovy!
