The stroller is 42 inches high. It is lightweight ( 21.5 lb. no kidding!), narrow tandem seat, and pretty. The only problem is that the canopy blocked my front view. I am 5 feet tall. Up to 3 meters long area in front of stroller is totally blocked by the canopy. And even I step on a 6 in. stool; I still can't see the front Up to 1.5 meters long area.Here are some other pros & cons:Pros:1. Lightweight2. Slick, compact, pretty, modern design. My daughter loves it so much as she can climb into the front seat and back seat by herself.3. Narrow width to go through every door.4. Comes with 1 rain cover, 1 cup hold, and 1 removable small bag.5. The canopy has 2 windows for you to see both kids.Cons:1. It's very stiff to unfold the stroller. I have to step on the paddle very hard to open it.2. Folding is not hard, just like Maclaren but no one-hand self-locking function. Instead, you have to manually hook straps on both sides. It's not easy if you have to hold baby with one hand and folding the stroller with the other hand.3. The front seats are only 6.5 inches in depth, but it can be extended up to 11.5 inches in depth. My 3-year-old daughter is 27 lb. while sitting in the front seat, she can easily slide out and her feet touch the ground if not buckle up.4. The back seat is also 6.5 inches in depth, but cannot be extended. It's for baby from birth to 40 lb. However, the seat is not reclined fully. Newborn will need head support. By the way, you need both hand to make the back seat recline by lifting 2 small metal latch pieces on both sides at the same time. (Very similar to the beach chair reclining, except this stroller requires 2 hands fully manually control the back seat reclining.) If you don't want the reclined seat, you can push the back of the chair front, BUT the latches are not self-lock as the back seat side fabric will prevent the latch fall into the hook. You will need both hands to work with the latch pieces on both sides to make the seat stop at the reclining position you desire. It's not easy to control with baby inside of the back seat.5. The front seat child bar is NOT removable. My daughter wants to get into the seat by herself, and she can only climb into the seat!6. The front seat is very upright even with seat reclined. It also requires both hands to push on the buttons on each side and slide it back at the same time.7. Another issue for the back seat. While stroller is folding, the back seat has a tendency to gone loose and hanging out from the folding stroller.8. The canopy is very large, large enough to block the front view of the pusher, but not large enough to cover the front seat.9. The rain cover is too short. It can only cover the knees of the kid on the front seat.10. The cup holder can only be installed on the pusher's right side of the stroller. It easily to come off if hit.My concerns:1. If you are 5 feet and shorter like me, you can only use this stroller with Canopy folded; otherwise, the front view will be blocked by this canopy. It's very dangerous that you can't see where you are going!! If you are short people and you want to use this stroller, you have to use it without canopy and rain cover.2. The back seat reclining is hard to control with baby inside. The seat could suddenly recline if you can't control small piece of metal latches on both sides. The latch is also not self-locking, and it might go off the hook and let the back seat recline abruptly while going through the bumpy road.

My first stroller was the cart type (Baby Trend) that the two car seats attached, perfect, but they outgrew it with the car seats. My second stroller is a large jogging type stroller (Baby Jogger City Elite), perfect for long walks (I love to do) but impossible to lift in and out of my van on a daily basis. My third stroller side-by-side, smaller than jogging stroller, but supposedly with a weight of 50lbs per seat, however hard to maneuver once the the boys were a combined weight of 50lbs! A myriad of problems with that stroller, seats, straps terrible, Baby Jogger should be ashamed for putting that stroller on the marker and charging $400 (Baby Jogger City Micro - discontinued, for good reason).This Kinderwagon stroller, was based on my need to run errands with two toddlers, not practical to try and get two toddlers out of car seats and hold hands to cross parking lots. The Kinderwagon meets this need, it is lightweight, easy to fold and unfold, easy to push while opening up doors, easily fits between cars in parking lot (I don't like to put the stroller behind my van while I get kids out of their car seats, too easy for other car to hit in busy parking lot).My main complaint with this stroller is the back seat has a very shallow sling seat. I extended the seat with a piece of corrugate plastic and covered with a "Skip Hop" stroller pad. For $300 it should have come with two decent seats! Slight design flaw that could have been corrected and should have been corrected since this is a recurring complaint from parents.The canopy is junk, it needs to be bigger (higher for back seat and longer for front seat), but I don't plan on using the canopy since this is a stroller to move my sons around when running errands. The front seat doesn't really recline, but again not an issue for me since this is my "working" stroller. For trips to the zoo or anywhere I think there is a chance they would fall asleep, I would use my large Baby Jogger City Elite (heavy, but maneuvers great)The bottom basket doesn't hold much, but I store the canopy and rain hood that comes with the stroller there. There is a small diaper bag that comes with the stroller and attaches to back of stroller, although it keeps unsnapping and falling off.I purchased this stroller 4/2013 through Amazon, but from Kinderwagon, however the manufacture date is 7/2012, so if any improvements were made in the design I did not get the latest manufacture, which is wrong, something I would return stroller for but didn't since I haven't read about any updates in design, I did not. This stroller states it has a 50lb weight limit for each seat, my boys are currently about 27lbs each and the stroller is easy to maneuver. The height is right for me (5'7") if a stroller doesn't have an adjustable handle they are usually too low for me, although the handlebar rubber is very cheap and I don't think it will hold up very well over time.It seems sturdier than a Combi or Graco stroller, but it has a few main parts that are attached with a web strap and thin plastic, so not sure how well it will hold up. It comes with a cup holder which is very handy, after market cup holders never seem to attach securely to strollers. and it seems the more expensive the stroller the less "stuff" comes with the stroller. This stroller isn't cheap, but surprisingly comes with a cup holder, rain hood, canopy and small diaper bag, all cheaply made products, but the "right" size and fit for this stroller.I would recommend this stroller only because I have not found anything better, with a few changes this could be a great stroller. If you need a lightweight tandem stroller to run errands this is an OK stroller. Over priced by about a $100, for $300 it should have been a lot sturdier and the design flaws for back seat and canopy should have been corrected, all recurring complaints from parents on numerous web sites and blogs.

13 of 15 people found the following review helpful.I received my kinderwagon hop just over a week ago, I wish I had found this brilliant invention 18 months ago, it would have saved me A LOT of money!!Okay, I'm a nana....but a young nana to two gorgeous grandchildren. My daughter and her husband are like all young families starting out, the try very hard but things can be a bit tough. When they were expecting baby number 2 my husband and I said we would buy the double stroller as a gift, the babies are 15 months apart. We went out and bought a gorgeous, all singing, all dancing 3 wheel side-by-side double stroller....already I can hear the cringes coming from mums reading this!! The stroller was great but it was very big, and very heavy. After a couple of months, my daughter gave up with the big heavy stroller and bought an umbrella side-by-side stroller, I also bought one as I have the babies most Fridays and Saturday's.After a few months of seeing my daughter struggle in the shops with the side-by-side we found a second hand single stroller with a toddler seat, that was okay but as the baby got bigger, neither one of the babies liked being in the bottom seat, so we both went back to using the side-by-side umbrella stroller.A few months after that I saw a mum pushing a Joovy Kaboose and thought, wow, what a great idea, the baby can sit in the seat and the toddler can either stand on the rear platform or sit on the bench seat if he gets tired, so again I managed to find a second hand one, and my daughter used that for a bit, but again it is quite heavy and not ideal lifting and stowing into the trunk. Again, we both went back to the umbrella side-by-side stroller.We live in Perth, Australia and I am looking at travelling to the UK in a couple of months and will be taking the children with me, my grandson will be only just 3 and my granddaughter 22 months, so I starting searching for the ultimate stroller....and that is when I found the Kinderwagon Hop! Having spent a lot of money over the past 18 month on strollers that promised, but didn't deliver, I review the kinderwagon hop to within an inch of its life. I searched reviews, I watched YouTube videos, and following all this I made the decision that I needed one of these strollers in my life. Getting one from the USA to Australia was not easy and quite costly, but I pretty much knew from the reviews that this was going to make travelling alone with two toddlers a little easier.When the parcel arrived I couldn't wait to open it, I have to say thank you, thank you, thank you to the company that sent me this stroller, (sorry I can't remember the name and I don't want to lose all that I have typed so far) I must have received the brand new stroller and not the older model shown on the advert. The front foot rest is the new wide rest not the thin plastic strap, the frame is black not silver, the rear seat recline is the new design not the old one which needs two hands to recline, and the fastener to keep the stroller closed when folded is a fantastic strap with clip. My daughter and I love this stroller, like a said earlier, we wish we had found this 18 months ago.There isn't much I would change about the kinderwagon hop, having only used it for nearly 2 weeks I haven't really stumbled across any problems yet. The stroller is great manoeuvring around the shops, it's lightweight and easy lifting in and out of the trunk and its really compact and not like the big 'train' tandem strollers. I actually have a Maclaren single stroller and we put them side by side and I was shocked to see that they are almost the same size, they are exactly the same hight and the frame is the same size. The children love sitting in it, we have the older child in the back when he's not walking or when we are in a hurry! We did have one incident of hair pulling, but we threatened him that if he did it again we would put his little sister in the back with him in the front and then she could pull his hair.....he hasn't done it since! The only thing I would add was another cup holder since we use the holder for the children's drinks. Oh and I think Kinderwagon should branch out to Australia, I know that there are a lot of Aussie mum's that would benefit from this stroller, I haven't seen anything like this here. But Aussie guidelines state you need a red brake and a wrist stap on the handle!I hope this review has been helpful, I know that I was very grateful to be able to read other reviews on this stroller.Nana Rachel
