- A guided tour of the 2012 Honda CR-VThe Honda CR-V's popularity is not in question. Consistently one of the best-selling (if not THE best-selling) compact SUVs year in and year out, the CR-V has also been a steady reviewer favorite. At the end of 2011, the latest iteration of this model landed in showrooms. We spent some time with it ourselves, and can say without hesitation that the CR-V […]
- Why you shouldn't diet like a celebrityWhile researching our report on the best weight-loss programs, we learned that the key to keeping weight off is making sustainable, long-term changes. If you don't address -- and adjust -- the habits that put the weight on in the first place, it'll just come right back. Still, it's hard to resist the lure of celebrity diets, plans that promise […]

- When it comes to tech, it's cool to be practicalCovering consumer electronics means wading through a lot of "ooh, shiny!" devices and "game-changing" innovations, many of which quickly fall by the wayside, replaced by something shinier and cooloer. That's why it's nice to see that some companies are looking to harness technology in a more meaningful way, thinking less about t […]
- House plants you can't killEven with the pleasantly warm weather this week in New York City (thanks global warming), it's hard not to long for a little green right about now. With my notoriously black thumb, I typically shy away from growing houseplants and instead anxiously await the sprouting of my neighbors spring bulbs. Not this year.

- Phish of the day: Beware tax-season email scamsIf you've noticed an uptick of spam in your junk mail folder lately, you're not alone. Scammers go into overtime around the holidays and into tax season, aiming to trick you into forking over personal information. These email sneak-attacks are called "phishing" and it's nothing new. What is new this year is that a lot of the bogus em […]
- A new and (p)interesting way to shop onlineJust a year ago when I was moving into my first apartment, my cousin sent me an invite to a site she thought could help me shop for my new digs: Pinterest. I will admit: I played around with it, and I just didn't get it; I was overwhelmed by images and I found the interface cluttered. She said I was missing out on something great, and now I'm eati […]

Nail salon and barbershop patrons may be at risk for hepatitis infection if the tools commonly used -- such as nail files, nail […]
- Are you buying a big-screen TV for the big game?Over the years, the Super Bowl has grown from just being a game for all the marbles at the end of the NFL season to a near-universal day of celebration and parties that even non-fans can enjoy. Sure there's the spectacle of the game itself, but watching all of those "can you top this" commercials has grown into its own national pastime. And no […]
- Hands-on with four good, cheap new carsI get to drive a lot of different cars throughout the year, and they run the gamut from Powerball-winner hardware to basic, affordable transportation. Sure, the glitzy stuff is a lot of fun, but some of the best new cars I've had the opportunity to try are also among the least expensive. This is good news if you want to buy a new car but have a modest […]
- Child seat belt safety: When to transition out of a boosterParents might breathe a sigh of relief when their children no longer need a bulky child car seat or booster, but they shouldn't exhale just yet.

- Inspired vegetarian recipes to chase away the winter bluesIn the dead of winter, with greenmarkets either closed or offering very limited selections of produce, it's all too easy to think that healthy, meat-free meals are out of reach.

- Should Google's new privacy policy worry you?"Don't be evil." Google's unofficial mantra sounds pretty noble, right?

Why do some think it's the end of privacy as we know it, and others just shrug their sh […]
- Can you trust online reviews?The issue of fake user reviews is nothing new. We blogged about it back in 2009 after a Wall Street Journal article exposed the practice by certain companies of having employees post favorable write ups to user-review sites, such as Amazon.com. Now, The New York Times has shed some light on something new, yet still the same: offering real customers financial […]
- DOT tries to put the "fair" in airfare pricingEarlier this week I booked a flight from New York to Miami. Even though JetBlue only flies to the nearby Fort Lauderdale, I couldn't pass up the advertisement in an e-mail sent to me: Book Today, $89 each way from JFK. When I went online to look up fares, I did not see that fantastic rate; instead the fares were through the roof with the flights I want […]

Review by Mom to a large family for Kolcraft 2009 Contours Options Tandem Stroller – Ruby
Seats are easily adjusted, and it’s not that much of a pain to take it apart to fold it. It steers soooo easily, and make even sharp corners without running into other things. The basket underneath is HUGE, and can handle the largest of diaper bags.

I bought this in Feb ’09, and have used it alot already. I REALLY like it – it’s big, but both kids (2y & 9mo) have plenty of leg room, even when facing each other. It is a bit heavy, but I am 7mo pregnant, and I can fold & load it into the back of my Excursion without breaking a sweat.
With that said, the cup holder for parents is flimsy – it constantly seems as if it’s going to come off (it hasn’t yet tho, but I’m scared to use it). I also wish there was a cup holder for the little ones. I’ve had a hard time getting the hang of placing the seats where they’re not in the way of each other. If they are placed back-to-back, the rear seat can’t really recline like it’s supposed to cause of the first seat being in the way (or maybe I’m not doing something right). I also wish there was a way to fold it with the seats attached, but I haven’t figured out how to do that yet. And I think it’s a tad overpriced, too.
All in all, I’m glad I bought it. Shipping was really quick from here, as usual. It’s a real eye-catcher when we’re out-&-about. LOL The kids LOVE riding in it, so it must be comfortable to them, which is the most important thing!

I bought this stroller a couple weeks ago and overall it is great. It was easy to assemble, has a very sturdy frame, is very versatile, has a large basket, and cupholders. I do have to remove the seats to fit it in my SUV. The only real complaint I have is that the seats are made to fit 6-18 month size kids. I bought it for my 2 younger kids, ages 6 months and 2 1/2 years. Yes, my son is tall for his age at 37″, but the seat back only comes up to the top of his neck. Kolcraft needs to make a taller front seat fot toddlers. Since the seats are modular it should be simple enough.

This is a great stroller. I looked and looked for a stroller that would meet our needs before I bought this one. I have a baby and a young toddler. The toddler is too young for a sit and stand, she needs a real seat where she can recline to sleep if necessary. I also have a Chicco car seat which I LOVE and I wanted to have a double stroller that it would fit on. This was the only stroller in our price range that would do everything I wanted. I am very happy with this stroller. It is sturdy and well made. It’s comfortable for the kids. It’s easy to fold/unfold and rides like a Cadillac. Lots of storage space underneath, and I love the seating options.
A few things to mention: Yes, it IS heavy. That’s because it’s sturdy and well made, and has a good ride. I’m 5’2″ and I’m able to heft it into the back of my blazer without too much trouble. It just takes a little learning to figure out the best places to grab it so you can lift it easily. I really don’t mind the extra weight because I don’t feel like I’m pushing my kids around in a big chunk of plastic. Yep, it’s long. So are all the double strollers…unless they are wide. It’s just the nature of the beast. Having said that, it turns surprisingly well, and we have not knocked over any store displays yet. I take the seats off to fold it up smaller in my car, and it’s honestly no big deal. Everything on it adjusts so easily. The only thing I don’t like is the lack of a cup holder/snack tray on the seats, but I think Kolcraft is working on that. For my kid it ends up working ok because she likes her sippy cup next to her in the seat anyway.
I get comments on this thing everywhere I go. People with kids are always impressed with it. It’s a lifesaver for me when I go anywhere with the kids, especially by myself. I spent a long time looking and reading reviews and agonizing before I bought it, and I am glad I got this one, it works great for us. Bottom line: you get a lot of stroller for your $200.

If you are expecting twins and thinking of a stroller here is the scoop. This is the absolute best stroller on the market for the dollars. Our twins are now 5 months old and this is a dream to shop with..turns on a dime, easy one-hand navigation, folds out and back in easy, Very large capacity space for storage etc..easily accommodates most infant care carriers. This Tandem stroller is best for the money and truly the only drawback is that it is a little on the heavy side. When mcopared to other double strollers I’d have to say this is the only one you will need if you live in the city hands down!

This is a great stroller out of the selections that I have seen for me and my family. I am a single mother to 3 kids, an 8 year old, a very active 2 year old and a newborn and this stroller is great for us. It is big but I like how it is a Tandem stroller that way my two year old can sit in the front and not touch the baby. This stroller has alot of great feautres however it is hard to close and is very big when closed and heavy. I had a c-section and there is no way I would be able to lift this stroller and even attempt to put it in my trunk. I have a 07 Nissan Altima and it takes up all the space in my trunk and leaves me with no room and is very heavy to lift into the trunk. However I have heard of the same complaints with all of the double strollers so I guess that is what you get with them.
