Quad Runabout Stroller

The Quad Runabout Stroller is an impressive looking tandem-style model designed for large families or daycare centers.  It is promoted as being able to fit in most sport utility vehicles and minivans, although there is also the possibility of hauling it on a trailer behind a smaller vehicle. Some features of this stroller include airless tires, a sun canopy, reclining seats, a telescoping handle, and front wheel hand brake.

Because of its long, narrow construction, some consumers have discovered that Quad Runabout Strollers may pose a tipping hazard if children are not loaded and unloaded in a very specific manner (loaded from front to back, and unloaded in the reverse order).  There are also some concerns about what sized child the seats are best suited for, so it is best to try one on for size before making a purchase decision.

Brand new, the Runabout retails for around $1000.00 so it is a major purchase.  Used, they can occasionally be found on Ebay, or you can watch for postings on online parenting groups, especially those for parents of triplets and quadruplets.  Reviews posted on these websites will help you make your stroller decision as well.

Purchasing a baby stroller of any kind requires a careful weighing of priorities, needs and the uses you will primarily require the stroller for.  What are your alternatives? For instance, will one parent be taking all the children out frequently without assistance, or would two double strollers be more useful? If the children are different ages, how long will the oldest ones be requiring a stroller? Do you require a sportier model, or would a stroller with side-by-side seating suffice? There are many factors to consider. Do a little research and test-drive a model or two if possible, in order to make the best decision for you and your growing family.  If you settle on the Runabout, you can look forward to generating a lot of curiosity everywhere you go as this stroller definitely gets noticed!
