 Just picked it up! Apr 17, 2010
By Megan Drew
Picked mine up today!
Overall I really like it - the only thing dissapointing so far is the sun shades are rather small and flimsy - but you can change their positions which is helpful.
The seats are adequately padded.
It stands alone when folded which is nice -but figuring out what to do with the front sun shade when folded is kind of difficult. Of course it is heavy when folded and lifting it up - but what double stroller isn't? It claims to be 15% lighter than its competitors - but I haven't lifted many double strollers.
I like how you can put the car seat in the front or back seat and it just clicks in place - no need for straps or any other additional attachments to keep it on.
I also really like how the front seat has a bar or two cup holders in the front (both are included)- for our almost 2 year old, the cup holders are perfect and she can climb in and out of the front seat on her own.
The back seat has a full recline which is great - but the front seat only has a minimal recline and does not recline at all with the car seat is in the back seat.
The under seat basket is huge and I LOVE the zipper compartment to get into it if the rear seat is in full recline - we have the single Cortina and that was always an issue for us if the baby was sleeping to get in to the storage compartment, glad they thought about this and fixed it!
Multi-position handle is great - esp. when spouses are very different in height as my husband and I are.
Steers very nice around the house but haven't taken it out yet for some real mileage. It has very nice, large wheels which seem to make for a nice ride.
UPDATE:
#2 just arrived last weekend and took this thing out for its first test drive today and it was a DREAM! Steered wonderfully, maneuvered well in tight spots - went in and out of CVS and up and down aisles without clearing any shelves or running over any other shoppers in the process. So easy to get the infant seat in and out and Iove how no extra "safety strap" is needed for the infant seat. My 22 month old daughter climbs in and out of the front seat all on her own (we have it outfitted with the two cupholders) and she was super comfy on the entire walk. The ride seems nice for the kids as the tires are large and somewhat cushy.
Overall, I am VERY happy with this product. We were very close to getting the Baby Jogger City Select before we found out this stroller was coming out - I am glad we waited for it! The City Select would have been about $750 before we had all of the add ons needed for two kiddos plus the chicco carseat adapter kit. So this was much nicer on the budget, and I think I like it better than the City Select too!

LOVE this stroller! Apr 27, 2010
By busy mama
This is the best double stroller out there to date. I LOVE this stroller! I've tried so many doubles that I've lost track, and I've hated them all. They're too long, too wide, too hard to steer, etc. Not this one!
The Chicco Together looks stylish and cool. I have the cubes pattern, and I really like it. The stroller frame seems to be sturdy and stable, and there aren't a lot of pieces on the stroller that will break. The stroller is tall, which makes it easy to get into the basket underneath. The adjustable handle is great. I put it on the middle setting and my husband puts it on the tallest setting and we're both comfortable pushing the stroller (I'm 5'5", he's 6'3"). We can both push the stroller without kicking the wheels. The wheels on the stroller have a little bit of cush to them - they're not completely hard, which makes for a nice ride for the kids. It is very easy to push, and the steering is phenomenal. The seats are on the smaller side, 14" wide, which I prefer. My 45 lb 4 year old would fit in them, but they're not huge. The weight recommendation is 40 lbs per seat, and a 40 lb child would easily fit in the seats. I like a smaller seating area for the kids. In some of the other strollers, my kids seemed to slop around in the huge seats. They are 6 months (23 lbs) and 2 1/2 years (28 lbs) and they are very comfortable in the seats. I like the five point harnesses, and the buckles seem to be good and sturdy. The front seat has the option of two cupholders or a bar. I opted to put the bar on, and was pleased to see that the bar is covered in fabric, rather than foamy material. The baby can chew on the bar (and she does!) without me being afraid she's going to bite a piece of foam off. The stroller is easy to fold and unfold, and I really like that when you fold the stroller, it stays folded. You don't have to flip a switch or a lever to make it stay. The stroller is not as long as lot of the doubles, which I love. I hate to feel like I'm pushing a train, and this stroller is definitely not a train. I believe it is 47 inches from the bar on the front to the handle. It is compact, while still having enough space for kids and bags. The fabric is well stitched and feels like it will hold up really well.
Overall, I am absolutely loving this stroller. Easy to push, easy to steer, sylish, comfortable, and great! I recommend it to anyone and everyone!

 Eh, It Will Do... Jun 09, 2011
By B. Nelson
First of all, I have a 2000 Honda Accord, and the stroller fits into my trunk fine. In fact, I think it barely takes up any more room than the Cortina single stroller that I had. Anyway, if you're worried, test the stroller at Babies 'R' Us, then buy it for cheaper on Amazon. I have no problem fitting the stroller in my trunk, along with $100-150 worth of grocery bags.
I will also attest to the durability of the stroller itself. While I haven't had it very long, it's already taken a lot of abuse and still looks brand new. It maneuvers well (for a double), and seems to handle additional weight (i.e. diaper bags, shopping bags, etc) very well. It was also very easy to assemble (it came 95% assembled).
Cons...
I have a VERY energetic 2.5 year old boy, and consequently, he has to ride in the back of the stroller in order to be contained. Let me elaborate. The front seat of the stroller has a detachable bar in place of a tray as the only thing (other than the harness seat belt, which is a pain) keeping the child in the seat. And, I found that in order to properly get the stroller folded up and into the trunk of my car, I have to remove this bar every time. I don't have time for that, so the bar is in a storage closet. My 2.5 year old son is also tall for his age, so the few times he was allowed to sit in the front seat, his legs stuck out and bumped into stuff as we were moving. The cupholder(s) also had to be removed for me to properly fold up the stroller, so I never used that/those either.
The lack of a tray for either passenger is a bigger deal than I thought it would be, due to lack of space. When my older son is sitting in the back of the stroller, there is NO ADDITIONAL SPACE between him and my younger son (3 months old) in the baby carrier. So, my older son sets his snack on top of his brother... and is tempted to play with/bother his brother as well. And, if he is not buckled in, my older son can climb down into the storage compartment under the stroller, since the back seat's foot rest opens out into the storage basket. Another problem is that if a baby carrier is in the back of the stroller, than the front seat does not recline AT ALL.
I agree with everyone who commented on the visors/sun shades and how ridiculous they are. I don't ever use the one for the front seat because I couldn't even tell that it did anything. The one in the back seat pops off ALL THE TIME. If I didn't need it to help shield my infant from sun, I'd get rid of it altogether.
I'm sure that Chicco wasn't lying when they claimed that this stroller is "15% lighter than other double strollers", but that 15% doesn't really make a difference. Heavy is heavy.
I did notice something Chicco improved. I have a Cortina from 2008, and I have always hated being unable to access the storage basket when the stroller is in the fully-reclined position, which it must be in order to put a carrier in it. This was a poor design, people complained, and Chicco listened. With the double stroller, this is no longer a problem; if the back seat is fully-reclined, you can still access the storage compartment via two zippers that when unzipped, create a little door to access the storage basket. Hopefully Chicco will listen to the common complaints with this double stroller, and improve its design as well.

Near Perfection for a Double Stroller May 31, 2010
By Kelly Katherine McAloon
"Shibuya"
We just picked up our Together stroller in the Cubes pattern and couldn't be happier. We are awaiting our second son's arrival in July, but already am taking our one year old out in it to get him used to it.
The stroller is light, and when folded seems basically the same size as the single Cortina we have. We have the Extreme (orange/silver) keyfit 30 and it looks great with the Cubes design. It stows easily into the trunk of our small SUV (Nissan Xterra) with some room for small bags at the sides. I am not sure how it would do in a sedan, though. Our son enjoys riding in the front, though I don't think those with toddler/infant combo would be able to switch the two from the front to the back. Mainly because with the toddler in the back the toddler is looking straight at his sibling's car seat, can mess with him, and doesn't have much of a view otherwise. But the front seat seems to do just fine. We put the bar out to hang toys on it but when he is older and doesn't throw everything to the ground the cupholders should get some use.
I did notice when taking out the car seat two hands are required. You have to use one hand to push the clasp in and the other to pull up on the bar. Otherwise the clasp just sticks. This is important when figuring out which kid to remove first from the stroller. If your toddler is a runner you might want to do the infant seat first then unbuckle your toddler. This was a little annoying to me because my toddler is impatient when he is not moving lol.
I love that you can access the basket when the rear seat is down. You have plenty of room in there for a few items if you go to the store. The handlebar turns on a dime. It is a bit thick for my hands and tricky using just one (which is needed to get in and out of doors) but am hoping with practice it will be fine.
Overall I am quite impressed with this stroller. I am so glad it came out as I hated the Graco doubles. They felt and looked humongous and ugly. We got ours for $[...] at $65 off because we had a 20% off coupon and $5 rewards (at babies r us). Definitely recommend some comparison shopping for that reason.
UPDATE: My eldest son is 21 months and my youngest 7 months, and I figured I should update this review now that I have finally been able to use this stroller for a while. Although not TOO long...for some reason my littlest hated strollers up until 6 months old, particularly this one. At around 4 months he finally decided it was ok to be a non-marsupial sling entity and tolerated a cheap little umbrella stroller that had a hammocky sort of backing to it. I think his main beef with the Chicco is that it is too upright. Now at 7 months and sitting up on his own, he really likes this stroller and has no complaint with it. I put my youngest in the front seat because he really likes a view, and my eldest in the back because, like Mama, he loves to put his feet up when he's cruising. I am soooo glad I did not get a Graco where it is mandated that you put the heaviest child in the front, or I would still be waiting around to use the stroller...if ever. Today I just discovered that the front wheels lock in place. I don't know why I never discovered this until now, because it makes outdoor strolls on pavement and grass much easier! I am pretty sure this is a feature exclusive to the Chicco in terms of tandem strollers...although I do not know this for sure. Overall I am quite happy with it.
The only frustrating thing is that the front shade constantly pops off when you fold it. But it is easy to snap back on. Also, there are only the front cup holders, none for the back. The back bar is quite thick too. [...]

Wonderful Double Stroller Oct 19, 2010
By Melissa Watson
I was very excited when I heard Chicco was finally coming out with a double stroller. I was initially against any double stroller; I just didn't want to mess with it. But when our daughter was 2.5 years and our son was four months we were taking a month long trip abroad, and I knew we wouldn't be able to corral both kids without one. The Cortina Together worked wonderfully for what we needed. We already had a Chicco car seat and Trevi, so we knew we liked Chicco. And I wanted both kids to be able to sit comfortably. I knew a sit and stand would be lighter, but didn't want my two-year-old to have to stand or sit on an uncomfortable, tiny seat all the time. After hauling this thing all over Europe, here is why I love this stroller:
You can easily snap the Chicco car seat into it. I love that you can place it in the front seat or back seat. When we want more control of our toddler, we place her in the back and baby in the front. But when we are just enjoying a walk she loves sitting in the front to see better, and hop in and out on her own. It is also a great feature that the rear seat fully reclines. This is nice for a napping toddler, and makes a great bassinet for a sleeping baby.
The basket underneath is very large and very accessible. Adding the zippered front is a huge help, to be able to access things even when the back seat is fully reclined. I was able to easily carry diaper bags, luggage, groceries, etc in that thing. I also like that the basket stretches in front of the rear seat. If our daughter dropped anything, it caught it, which is nice when you are running to catch a train, and not keeping track of everything!
The canopies work well. They aren't large, but the fact that they adjust so easily means you can keep your children covered from rain, or keep the sun out of their eyes, no matter what angle. I also love having the two cup holders for mom and dad, as well as the two cup holders on the front seat. A con, however, is that there are no cup holders for the back seat. And the two cup holders on the front can be switched which is nice. But, if you have them turned out, you can't fold the canopy up when the stroller is folded, and if you have them turned in, you can't fold the front seat down to accommodate the car seat. But this is super easy to adjust. The seats move very easily as well - one hand adjustment. The brakes and wheel locks are great and easy too.
Even with its large size, the stroller turns on a dime. The handle bar adjusts easily for pushers of different heights. Sometimes we found the stroller can be a little tricky to fold up - the lock only requires one hand, but you have to maneuver the stroller just right to get it to collapse on itself. When folded up, though, it's not too huge - it easily fits in our Honda CVR, no problem. It's great for on the go, easy to set up - no adjustments needed.
The stroller proved to be very durable - considering we hauled it on and off planes and trains, as well as up and down cobblestone streets and off-road. Like others have said, it is heavy, but it is a double stroller, that's what you get. It is lighter than many options, though. My close friend has a Graco double, and she is super jealous of our Chicco! One other negative is there's no handle or really great place to grab the stroller to carry it when it's folded up. The feature that allows it to still roll when folded is nice, but obviously doesn't help when you are going up stairs.
I truly love this stroller, and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Coming from one mommy who didn't especially want a double, is only five feet tall (and not very strong!), but realized she needed it, I would never use another double stroller. This is the way to go!
