 Wonderful for the Price!Apr 07, 2010
By MindyM
I love this stroller, especially for a hundred bucks! My 2 yr old and 6 months old love our walks to the park in it. It handles the uneven road pavement better than I expected. I like the 5 point harness for my infant and it is the only one at this price with the grab bar. (I chose this stroller over the $99 Jeep one because of the storage baskets, the 5pt harness, and the grab bar) The stroller I received has the baskets positioned ABOVE the metal crisscross bars, (unlike the pictures here) so they obviously fixed the problem with the baskets dragging, it is no longer an issue. Someone also complained of a locked wheel, I had that too, until I ummm...unlocked it...by flipping off the lock on that wheel. It is pretty lightweight and compact when folded, especially for a double stroller, which a must for an owner of a smaller-trunked car. Over all, I am extremely impressed at what a hundred bucks can get you. I was worried due to the other reviews of this model here, but after searching everywhere for a better INEXPENSIVE option, I found there are NONE, and took a chance. Glad I did.

 You get what you pay for!!!Oct 12, 2009
By John
We needed a stroller for our twins that was light and easy to fold for getting around town. We already have a City Mini for jogs or long walks. The Dream on Me seemed perfect for our light duty jobs. It arrived in early September and by October 10th one of the back wheels is broken off. Also, it's extremely difficult to fit through doorways and doesn't steer well at all. When folded the only thing holding it together is a small plastic clip that didn't work from day one (it doesn't reach where your supposed to clip it and wouldn't hold if it did).
Again you get what you pay for. If you need a stroller that's light and only need it for a few months (maybe up to 9 if lucky) this will work great. Not built for the long haul, even for light duty work.

Great, but quite as convenient as it soundsOct 06, 2010
By Molly Lafayette
"frizzlefry1996"
I bought this item for many of the same reasons as most other reviewers: because I needed a solution to conveniently tote around 2 kids. It does the job, but not quite as conveniently as I had hoped.
Pros:
The construction is sturdy. This stroller can take a beating. It comes in darker colors so you don't have to worry so much about dirt and spills.
The wheels are thicker and wider than your average umbrella stroller which makes it much easier to manuver and less likely to get caught up on uneven surfaces.
The stroller has that 3 handle design, and beieve it or not you can actually steer with ease using any of the three handles.
The kids are very comfortable and really like sitting next to eachother. The 5 point harness is a plus, and it is easily adjustable so that parents do not have to remember which seat belonged to what kid.
The baskets on the bottom are a bit small, but there are 2 of them, and they are large enough to hold the necessities for example a trip to the play ground or a short run into the store. (Please see cons for more info about the using it in the store)
The grab bar is sturdy and can outlast even rough kids like mine. Its great for longer trips or for areas with a lot of action and the kids need something to grab onto and hold them in while they are trying to lean out of the stroller. (please see cons about the grab bar during frequent use)
The adjustable back works like a drawstring. No kidding. It has a drawstring with a clip that lowers and raises the back to the appropriate level. I havn't had any problems with it so far, but If your kid is too big you might have problems with it unless you figure out how to reinforce it somehow. The positive aspect is that you can adjust it to any specific location, unlike others where you only get to choose between 2-3 preset recline modes (if any). Also, each seat is independent, meaning that you can recline one while the other sits upright if you want.
Cons:
This stroller is not as small as I hoped. For those of you trying to get around in a subcompact like, say for example a 4 door hatchback Yaris,and like me you have 2 carseats preventing you from folding down the seats, This stroller WILL NOT fit in your itty bitty trunk. in fact, it will barely fit in your back seat on the floor. Unfortunately for me I have to put it in my front seat if I plan on using it. I bought a single umbrella stroller specifically for this car because of the lack of space. The user descriptions in other reviews helped to convince me that this would fit as if it was 2 umbrella strollers but it's a little bit bigger than that. This lost a full star because of that. If the stoller was about 2-3 inches smaller I would have given it 5 stars because I could fit it in the trunk.
This stroller doesn't fit through single doors or narrow aisles. I have turn it sideways and drag it through a single door, which only works if the door is automatic or if someone is kind enough to open the door for me. When driving down narrow aisles I have to be careful not to knock anything off the shelves. I didn't deduct any stars for that because I kinda new that going in.
The grab bar is great, but cannot be convenient or realistically used if you need to collapse it several times a day/week. The grab bar needs to be removed before you can collapse the stroller. The bar is quite sturdy, which also means that it is quite securly held onto the bars which make it too much of a hassle to snap on and off several times a day/week.
Overall impression:
I really enjoy the stroller and I feel it will outlast any abuse it will suffer. The cons listed above do not outweigh the pros it has provided. I do wish that it was a back/front double stroller instead of a side by side, so that I could fit through doorways etc. I would use it much more often if it was. I wish it would fit in my car correctly, but shame on me for getting a teeny car :)
I was looking for something that I could whip in and out of my trunk in a breeze and have the kids strapped in and ready to go. I wanted a stoller that I could use to run several errands in one shot before the kids got sick of getting in and out of the car. I needed something to keep them more secure, sanitary and still have enough room in the baskets to do light shopping.
As far as what I was looking for vs what I got...Well everyone has to compromise so it doesn't work under all circumstances but it'll do. That's why I have tons of other gear to use instead. It is secure and sanitary, and It is a MUCH better option than a shopping cart because the kids will sit in it happily for much much much longer than the standard shopping cart.

A little wide, but it works wellMar 15, 2010
By Jahana
"city mouse"
I moved to a big city and bought this for city errands with my kids. I like the little baskets underneath. They are aren't heavy duty, but just enough to add a level of convenience that my single umbrella stroller (Jeep) really lacked. It folds easily and I really like that it has the 5 point harness straps.
On the down side, the sun shades aren't great. With the Jeep umbrella strollers the sunshades are small too, but you can adjust them to wherever the sun is hitting. Not so with the Dream On Me Twin - there is very little range of motion with the sunshades.
My main complaint, though, it the width. I wish it were about 2 inches narrower. It is the same width as my double jogger, so it's still difficult to get through doorways and maneuver around non-kid-friendly stores. If I were at an amusement park or something, however, the width probably wouldn't matter as much. Also, a cup holder for mommy would be nice.
I really like how far the seats recline, though. It does feel sturdy for an umbrella stroller and it fits well in the trunk of our little car.
Overall, I'm happy with the stroller.

Straps too short but call company and they send extensions.Mar 27, 2011
By Ngwa1106
I had such high hopes for this stroller. It was very easy to maneuver but had 1 MAJOR DEFECT!! The straps on the stroller, at their longest, were too small to comfortably restrain a child (25 lb) well under their 33 lb weight limit. When I put my kids in there they were yelling "OUCH, OUCH" because the straps were WAY too tight!! Really disppointed!!
UPDATE: March 27: Someone else posted that the company will send extensions for the straps.
I called the company and they were great in solving the belt issue. They promised me extenders when i called on Tuesday. Received and used them Saturday. Great customer service. Great value on this stroller.
