Yay! Summer is finally upon us and I couldn’t be more excited.  Having a restless 3 year old who has been stuck in the house all winter will definitely help you to be this excited 🙂  We are loving the warm weather and all the fun things we can go and do in it.  A huge must have is a great stroller for all of these fun summer outings.  If you are looking for a fabulous double stroller, look no further than the Contours Optima Tandem Stroller!

It arrived and it was love at first site, literally.  The Berkley pattern (red,black and white) shown in the pictures is so adorable!  I love love love  how cute it is. 

I am a big fan of Contours strollers by Kolcraft and have been lucky enough to review a couple of them.  So what makes this new Optima Tandem different?  It’s lightweight.  Weighing in at just 36.6 lbs, I can easily lift it in and out of our car.  I also like how it folds pretty compactly and I can fit it into the trunk of my car.  In order to get the most compact fold you have to remove one seat and maneuver a couple of items but I found it to be easy and quick to do.

I like that the seats have front bars for smaller babies and are removable for older toddlers. Having 4 cup holders is great! Two for parents and 2 for the kids.

But by far my favorite feature is the 6 different seating options. Whether your kids want to to both face front, face each other, want to face you, etc… No matter what type of situation you have you can adjust the seats to fit your needs.
