As an original Chico Bravo stroller owner, I agonized over what to get when I needed a double stroller upgrade. I’m so glad I ended up getting this one! Here are a few considerations you should take into account before purchasing, especially if you already own the single:– Car seat compatability: Since we already owned the compatiable car seat, this made this stroller a more affordable option. We would have had to purchase a different car seat if we had gone with another model.– Bottom storage: I love the storage of the single Chico Bravo when you are not using the car seat. You can push the seat all the way up into an upright position and really pile stuff into the basket. You can’t quite do that with the seat of hte Bravo 2, but since the stroller is a bit longer, the space is pretty comparable. We’ve done grocery runs and loaded stuff underneath and only had trouble with the occasional odd shaped item.– Zippered pouch: Way better than the flip top one on my single! The Bravo 2 zippers shut and can two sets of keys, two phones, and two slim wallets. Love it!– Ease of use: Like the single, the stroller can be folded one handed, is easy to store, and is great for traveling. Set up is quick and easy.– Quality: I use the stroller multiple times a day and it has held up quite well.– The toddler seat: I love how easily my toddler can get out and walk, stand, or sit. All three options are sorely needed!Cons– Once you stop using the car seat insert, neither of your children are likely going to be able to take a nap easily. It just wasn’t built for napping kids.– When you get all the kids and diaper bags loaded on, it can be a bit heavy. But I think that’s an issue with any double stroller and just something you have to get used to.– If you are using the car seat add in and your toddler is standing, your baby and toddler are going to be facing each other. This can be a pro or con, depending on the kid. When my baby was brand new and my toddler was still adjusting, this was a problem because my toddler had unlimited access to poke, prod, and otherwise bother the baby. Now that they are both a little older, my toddler can help entertain the baby. Once my baby outgrows the car seat insert, they will not be able to face each other (again, could be a pro or con depending on the kids).– Shade: There’s not a ton of shade/rain cover, so just keep that in mind for outings. With the car seat the shade can be extended more than without.Overall, I recommend this stroller!
