This is the best buggy we've tried (and believe we have tried many! This was our buggy number 12!). We have now used this aroud six months, with kids aged 1,5y and 3,5y now. I'll list some observations we've made with this:

Good:

+ large wheels to move around softly even if there is more than few flakes snow

+ swivel wheel in front makes moving easier

+ buggy is not heavy to lift up on bus etc.

+ as tandem buggy this is quite small

+ removable backseat

+ front seat gets fully flat to comfort sleeping

+ when big sister mostly wants to walk, there is plenty of space in the back seat to all the shoppings

+ large canopy protects from sun and lights

+ back seat cover protects kid in back seat, althought it could fit in place when back seat is "opened" for more space/sleeping position too, because that's when you need the protect most.

Bad:

- quite heavy and big when folded if you need to lift these into boot...

you get what you pay for, 17 Feb. 2014

if you want a cheap new double buggy then this is great but it is hard to push and feels very flimsy if you are going up and down curbs, its a great size with plenty of room for the 2nd child and as the wheels are solid you don't have the concern of punctures. If you are getting a buggy that you use a lot then I wold spend a bit more money and make life easier but cant complain for the price

Completely unusable with two children, 6 Nov. 2012

In the last two years I have used 9 different buggys and strollers. I have a 22 month old and an 8 month old and I bought the hauck freerider because I felt the phil and teds and love n care tandem strollers had very little room for the child in the back seat. The hauck looked like a great option. It looks great and it is light. Also unlike some other tandems I really likes how the front seat could be put into full upright position as my daughter did not like being reclined at all and wanted to see the world.

At first I loved it. I only ever had one child in it at a time and it was great. Then I brought it into the city one day with my two daughters. The oldest weights 11kgs and the youngest is 8kgs, both well below the 15kg limit for each seat. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with the buggy as I could not turn it no matter what I did. I got stuck in shops where random strangers had to help me lift the front of the buggy around corners as I could not move it...
