Graco is excited to announce our newest double stroller, the Ready2Grow stand and ride stroller. Most people are probably more familiar with Graco’s tandem double strollers (DuoGlider, Quattro Tour Duo), which are the ones that the two kids sit back to back. What is so exciting about this double stroller is that it provides 12 riding options for your kids (yup, I said 12).
You can still snap in two Graco infant car seats into this double stroller but there are also so many other seating configurations to choose from. Your older child can sit on the bench seat or stand on the platform, while your little one can sit back and enjoy the front row seat. Another cool option is the “Face Time” stroller seat. You can make your little one laugh or show her the sights as you push the stroller. The best way to experience this stroller is to go instore and try it out with your kids, see more pictures online, or check out our video.
With all of these seating options, Graco did not forget out the convenience features that moms expect and love about Graco strollers. Like I mentioned before this stroller includes, the ability to use two Graco infant car seats in the stroller, a removable Face Time seat where you can spend some close up quality time with your baby, a reclining front seat that lies flat, a one-hand fold, and an extra-large storage basket that can be accessed by pulling up on the toddler bench seat–awesome, huh?
I wish I had this stroller when my girls were younger! I know PP would have loved the standing platform and Pinkie Pie (who is my eternal cuddler) would have loved the Face Time seat so she could be even closer to me. Our strollers keep getting better and better!
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. But from what I can see it’s not out til mid March which is unfortunately when I’m due.
Hi Holly! You can actually find it in stores now, at Walmart, Target, Amazon.com and other retailers. Let me know if you have any other questions and thanks!
Holly – You can also find it at Babies”R”Us!
What is the weight limit for the ride-on toddler? I have a 48 pound 4 year old and I am expecting again in September… THX
Hi LD – the weight limit is 50 lbs. Thanks for asking!
Does it weigh as much as the Quattro Duo? That thing was SO heavy, I got something else. This looks awesome thought. Me thinks a trip to BRU is in order
Hi Lori,
The Ready2Grow stroller weighs 33 lbs, which is less than the Quattro Tour Duo. Let me know if you have any questions. Check it out at BRU!
I was wondering which carseats work with this?
Also I have a bigger toddler (in weight, but only 2) would this work for us?
I am preggers (a girl) and have a 40lb 2 year old…thoughts?
THANKS
I love all the riding options!
Hi Kat,
Any Graco SnugRide (SnugRide, SnugRide 30, SnugRide 35) is compatible with the stroller-and snaps into either the front or back seat. Your 2 year old should fit fine in the front seat, which holds a child to 50 lbs.
Hi Meghan,
Glad you like the riding options–the versatility is awesome!
can you used this for three kids. Infant in car seat, toddler in stroller seat and older toddler standing?
Hi Emily,
The Ready2Grow stroller is only for 2 kids. but, you have 12 riding options for those two kids.
Melissa
I LOVE this stroller! I have a three month old who was in his snug ride and a two year old this was the perfect stroller, we travel a lot.i took them both to NYC and then to Vegas the stroller was the best it made my life so easy, great space in the basket, easy to open and close, I could push with one hand, it made it easy to move around the airport and to all the places we went I never felt like it was too big which is what I have always been afraid if with a double stroller! So happy I bought this!
Does the face time seat have a minimum weight or age?
Trying to find out if the Chicco Keyfit 30 can be used with this stroller? Love the idea of this stroller but would rather not buy another infant seat. Thank you!!
HI Kim,
All Graco strollers are engineered to fit only Graco infant car seats, so no, your Chicco infant car seat cannot be used with this stroller.
Melissa
Hi Beth,
The Face Time seat has a maximum weight of 40 lbs (no minimum weight requirements).
Melissa
was wondering if this will fit into a small size car? I have been searching for a double stroller due to I have a 1 yr old n pregnant for my second due in May and of course I need one to go places with me with two little ones. However i need to find one that will fit into a grand am car.
Hi Denise,
My best advice is to visit your local Babies R Us store and ask them if you can take the floor model out to your car to ensure that it fits in your trunk.
Melissa
Right now it looks like there are 4 patterns available. Will Graco be rolling out more patterns in the future?
Also, to the previous posters, I went to Babies R Us and took the floor model out to see if it fit in my car. It fits in a toyota matrix if you remove the front tray and the arch (it’s easy they just pop right out)
I love this stroller! I researched and researched and was happy to find this stroller. I purchased the Odessy perfect for my daughter 6 months and son 2 years. I finally can travel with both my kids and not have to rely on shopping carts. I can push this one handed with my 15 pound daughter in her carseat and my son up front. My only change I would recommend that the front seat be made with a taller back. My two year old doesn’t usually sleep in the stroller but he really can’t sit back an relax because he is too tall at 37 inches. The foot rest is a little short as well. I look forward to changing him to the bench. Thanks graco for making my life easier.
Hi Alex,
At this time, those are the fashions available. But, we hope to have more in the future. Stay tuned!
Hi Monica,
Thank you for your comment–glad you are happy with your Ready2Grow stroller. As for your great feedback, I will pass it on to our marketing & engineering team.
Thanks again!
Melissa
Hi
I have a 3 month old and 3 yr old. I need to purchase double stroller.
Questions: harness type seatbelts?
Does front seat recline like for a nap?
My daughter is tall, how high is backing to front seat?
I have Chicco car seat key 30 can I secure baby in back seat without a car seat?
Thank you!!!
What colors are available for the odyssey?
I have 2 girls
Hi Ali,
The harnesses are the strollers are convertible 3 or 5 pt harnesses which is what all of our Graco strollers have, the front seat does recline, the back height of the front seat is 16.5″, and yes you can place your baby in the Face Time rear seat without the car seat (however, you cannot attach your Chicco car seat to this stroller..you can only attach Graco infant car seats to this stroller).
As for fashions, there are several to choose from: Forecaster, Metropolis, Odyssey, Viceroy, Oasis & Flare. You can go to gracobaby.com to see all of your fashion options & where to buy those fashions on our website.
Hope this helps you!
Melissa
Hi Melissa,
You mentioned there were 6 fashions available. I have seen the Forecaster, Metropolis and Oasis on Amazon. Babies R us has the Odyssey pattern. Where can I find the Viceroy and Flare pattern? The page on gracobaby only lists 3 patterns. Thanks.
Hi Alex,
Viceroy is a Target fashion and the Ready2Grow stroller is available now in store. The Flare fashion will be available at select specialty stores (so may be harder to find).
Melissa
Just got this striller today and I’m super excited about it!! The Only thing is I just cannot figure out how to decline the facetime seat!! And the Manuel doesnt tell you How to decline it either … Help!!!!!
Hi Michelle,
I am so glad that you love the Ready2Grow stroller! We have had such positive consumer feedback on this stroller. To answer your question about the recline of the Face Time seat, it actually does not recline (which is why you couldn’t find it in the instruction manual). Unfortunately, the incorrect information is on some of the retailer websites so we are trying to fix that now. I apologize for any confusion.
Melissa
FYI moms – you need to definitely go check this stroller out at the stores! I bought it a few weeks ago at Babies R Us and I am super excited, can’t wait to use it when my baby boy arrives in June! I have a 3 year old daughter that would love it too. Right now, we have a Graco Mosaic Lightweight stroller and we used that one for trips everywhere. So, I am so glad I “bumped” into this Graco at the store. I was almost THIS CLOSE in getting another one. So, this stroller is light compared to the other heavier doubles, it seems to push around really well, and it has 12 options! We can’t go wrong with that. I have the Odyssey double and carseat. Totally worth it! =)
Hi Lena,
So glad that you love the stroller!
Melissa
I just have to say that I love this double stroller. I have a 7 week old and a 2 year old and it has been a life saver. It even fits my car seat that was a different brand. I would rather have the matching car seat, but couldn’t afford both. Oh well still love my stroller.
Hi, I need to now how much does the stroller it weight?
Thanks!
Hi, I need to now how much does the stroller weight?
Thanks!
Do both seats recline?
Hi Wendi,
The front seat reclines but the FaceTime seat in the back does not.
Hi Pilar,
The Ready2Grow stroller weighs 33lbs.
Melissa
Where are the straps located to strap down the infant carseat? Manual does not show
We have a 2 year old and are expecting our 2nd in March. Really love the idea of this stroller and the versatility (at a MUCH better price than other multiposition tandem strollers!). However, we live in the country, and I am concerned about the handling in various terrain. What are the wheels like and are they good for more than just sidewalk/paved roads? I wish the tandem strollers came with the 8-10″ pneumatic tires!!!
Hi Niki,
We are excited to hear you are considering this stroller. To answer your questions, we use our standard wheels on the Ready2Grow, however, we do offer suspension on the front wheels providing enhanced maneuverability and durability. Hope this helps and feel free to reach out if you have any more questions.
Kacie
Hi, I just put this stroller together and it seems great. My question so far is that it seems like the infant seat snaps into place then has to be buckled which seems kind of like a pain. I do not remember having to do this with by Graco Quattro. Is there a way to securely fit the infant car seat without buckling it?
Hi Emily & Jdmommy,
You will need to use the bottom part of the straps of the stroller seats:the FaceTime seat straps if you are attaching the infant car seat to the back seat & the straps from the front stroller seat to attach the infant car seat to the front seat. That information is in your instruction manual if you need further information.
Thanks!
Melissa
I found this stroller and it is just what I have been looking for I wasnt quite sure if I should get a double or a sit and stand because my son is at the age where it could change any day but this is a god send Can I get it in Canada though I have till aug to get it I have been trying to get it online but they will not ship to canada
I pre-ordered this stroller about a month ago and am waiting for it to arrive in mid March.
(I live in Canada and that is the expected delivery date. I was not able to see the product first hand in store since it isn’t available in Canada yet.)
I have read the reviews on BabiesRUs.com and they see to be very mixed…among the biggest concern appears to be the size of the front seat (ie, not enough leg room, wished the seat was a little higher and deeper, etc.) I noticed, in a previous post, you commented that you would forward complaints to the engineering department. So, my question is…if Graco decided to make adjustments to this stroller…when would they do that? Would it be in next year’s model…or is there a chance they have made some changes already now that it is on the market?
I am very much looking forward to getting this stroller and putting it to good use with my 10 month old and my 3 year year old…just hoping it will work for me!
Hi,
I read above that “Any Graco SnugRide (SnugRide, SnugRide 30, SnugRide 35) is compatible with the stroller-and snaps into either the front or back seat.” But I have the SnugRide 32 and I want to make sure that it is also compatible.
Thank you for your time.
Maritza
Hello!
I wanted to address a couple of people’s comments.
Alisha: the strollers should become available in Canada around mid-March.
Teena: According to your concern about the front seat height, the engineers are aware of this. We are constantly reviewing consumer feedback regarding all of our products and are trying to make changes to address the needs of our consumers. I don’t have a definite date of any new changes, but the strollers that are on shelf now (and currently shipping into Canada) are the current product offering.
Maritza: Your SnugRide 32 will fit either stroller seat of the Ready2Grow stroller.
Thanks for your comments!
Melissa
I just want to say that I posted before about the front seat being short, not being a lot of leg room. I know I would want to have examples if I was going to pay good money for a stroller. So hear goes : using the stroller with his winter coat, my son (26 months) he is long and skinny at 29lbs 37 inches he does fit even though the space for his behind is small. Leg room is short but he knows he has to keep his feet up on the foot rest. I do feel he needs to be strapped in so he feels more secure. I still felt the stroller is worth it because this spring and summer I can have him use the bench and put my 7month old in the front. I really think this stroller is worth it I found that the other two sit and stands don’t compare. The quality of the material is graco worthy, unlike the others. Test it out if u can.
I LOVE this stroller, I am wondering where you can purchase it in Canada.
What are the folded dimensions of the stroller?
Thanks for the reply Melissa.
Hi Sarah,
The folded dims of the stroller are:
53 in (leghth) 24 (width) 20.5 (height)
Alecia,
The Ready2Grow stroller should be available in Canada in mid-March so probably another two weeks.
Melissa
What is the difference between the LX version of the stroller and the non-LX version? Also, does the viceroy style have a visor on the front canopy?
