 Loving it! September 4, 2010
K. O. Harrison (Lansing, MI United States)
Obviously what first drew me was the Chicco name. I have a cortina system from my first daughter (now 2) and wanted a double stroller to contain both her and our newborn. The carseat fits perfectly in either front or back just like in the single stroller. I wished I could have compared this to the sit&stand side by side but I couldn't find it in the store. I also didn't have a chance to see if the chicco carseat would attach safely to the sit&stand. Some people say it does, some say it doesn't.
I love that there's still the option of letting the big kid on and off easily. With this stroller, they get on and off from the front seat instead of the back.
It really does fold up to be the same basic size as the single by width. It is simply longer/taller when folded especially if you leave the front sun shade on. Luckily the shades come off easily. It's a bit heavy but it's not an umbrella stroller :). I feel kinda like I'm pushing a semi but it handles well.
I have three main criticisms: 1)the back seat has no cupholder...I think it would be nice to have something that would hook to the frame. 2)The other is that, while the handlebar has 3 adjustments, the lowest is a bit too high for me (5'3" tall). It's still comfortable enough putting my forearms just below level with my elbows. 3)I liked the way the sun shade on the single adjusts better. This requires two steps (undo the lock, then pull it out/in).
All together, I love this stroller and am happy I bought it. I picked the "romantic" color since my carseat wouldn't match any of the options. It's hard to see the colors (i was worried it might be light blue) but it's basically black and silver/grey.

Everything written on the positive side it's truth, but...
It doesn't fit well in al vehicles. I have a Mazda 3 and wont get in the trunk, my wife has a VW Jetta (Bora) and it doesn't get in in a symetrical way, meanning it goes like in diagonal, so it leaves you like a triangle space to place grosaries or bags.
My previous stroller was a Chicco Cortina, you will get the same reliability. It's very easy to place the car seat in the front or rear part of the stroller.

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.

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!
Just picked it up! April 17, 2010

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!
