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.

This is on sale at Big Lots for $99. Check it out if you have one near you 🙂
Thanks for all the info on this site. I am a true believer in Fisher-Price products, so I bought one of these yesterday at Big Lots in Winchester, VA for $99 for my 2 1/2 yr old and soon-to-be newborn. The handle does seem extremely high (I’m 5’2″), but perfect for my tall husband! It is sturdy though, I look forward to using it with both children.

I also live in your area, if you still have the stroller I would appreciate a working link so we can contact you. The link provided brings us to the Kijiji site but no stroller, only clothing. Thanks.
I live in Kentucky and have searched all the local Big Lots and can’t find it anywhere. Does anybody know if their local Big Lots still have the strollers for sale? Or does anybody in the tri-state area have this stroller or any other sit and stand stroller for sale?
Hi! I purchased this stroller at Big Lots in Griffin, Georgia just yesterday for $99. They had about 5 more in boxes. I am also 5’2 and don’t see that the handle is a big problem. I can push it easily and it is very easy to maneuver. For the price I think it a GREAT bargain. And my 4-year old LOVES the fact that he can sit or stand to ride when he gets tired of walking!!
I am the grandmother of a 4 year old granddaughter and a soon to be born (Oct 2008)grandson and have been searching the web for a Duo Stroller. I was so excited to find one today at Big Lots in Lake Forest, Orange County CA (last one) and was even more thrilled to read all the comments. I look forward to using it soon.
I got this stroller for my shower gift and think it is absolutly great i use mine all the time! but there are two clips on the top of the baby seat and i cant figure out for the life of me what they are for i cant seem to find anything that clips into them, does anyone on here know what they are for????
Hi – Just wanted to let you know that I’m from Raleigh, North Carolina and I just bought this stroller today from the BIG LOTS off Glenwood Ave. They still had 2 more left so if you’re from town and want this stroller then go for it!!! I already have a Joovy (Ultralight) and I LOVE that stroller but I’m obssessed with trying out new strollers and for $99 I had to try out this Fisher Price one. Best of luck in your search for one. If you want to check out if you have a BIG LOTS in your area just go to http://www.biglots.com and find the store locator. Hope this helps:-)
Just bought the display model at the Big Lots in Richmond, Indiana today for $99. Found out through some searching that the straps on the top of the seat are for Fisher Price Active Gear. There really isn’t much available. I found a backpack on Ebay. Can’t wait to try it out with my 3 3/4 year old and 11 week old!
We have this stroller and have not been happy with it at all. We have never been able to fold it and it is difficult to push. The handle bar is high and the latch to push to close is flimsy. I wish I would have returned it right after we purchased it from Toys R Us.
@ Maria (August 21st, 2008 3:53 PM),
I want to buy either the Joovy (ultralight) one or the Fisher Price one.
Which one do you prefer? Why?
Which one is the most sturdy?
Is the FP too heavy?
Thanks
I am in Kentucky (Louisville) and just bought one at Big Lots on Preston Highway Labor Day weekend. They are still around!!!
I also live in the Louisville area in Shepherdsville, Kentucky, my mother bought my sister and I both one, she lives in Mississippi and got it at a big Lots there.
I love mine but It is a bit heavy.The high handle bar that the other people were talking about was not a problem for me and I’m only 5’3″
Disapointed…
I read all of the reviews above – was really excited about buying this stroller, traded in my Graco Duoglider and was sadly disapointed.
Advantages: It looks great. Always gets noticed. Has a great big basket for shopping and the kids loved it
Disadvantage: The handle is very high, it doesn’t turn easily with one kid and almost no suspension what so ever. In the store it is smooth but on the sidewalk – it is so loud it either wakes or keeps my daughter up.
Too bad, it was bought used – because I would return it if I could.

Hey, i bought one of these second hand, and was wondering if anyone knew where to get the upper straps, to make the front a 5 point strap system….thanks
Heather,
I am interested in the f.p. stand and sit duo stroller that you are selling. How much are you asking and how old is it? Can you also tell me what kind of condition it is in? Where are you located?

Anyone in Sacramento, CA, area, or the Bay Area? I have one of these wonderful strollers for sale.
I bought it brand new, assembled it, used it ONCE, and have decided that I need to downsize (financially). So, I am selling it! I really think it is better than the others out there (I have owned the baby trend sit n stand) if nothing else, because of the shopping basket! I just love that idea, and if I had been able to keep it, would have used that feature every week at our local farmer’s market.
contact me at sarah_fadil@yahoo.com, if interested. I am asking $135 or best offer.
i am in ontario i thought this web site would be for canada to so if anyone around my area let me know
