I have to pick out a double stroller for AP and Essie....AKA the TWINKS! I have a Maclaren single for AP but am wondering if the Peg Perego would be better??? I like that it has removable trays and a cup holder.... Tell all, Please......

I have one and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. It's very lightweight, opens and closes easily and is very easy to control. The only one thing I don't like is that side by sides tend to be difficult to get in and out of doorways. I use it several times a week and can honestly recommend it.

I had one and loved it! I passed it on to Amymole36 because my kids outgrew it, but I never found a doorway I couldn't get through, it is very lightweight, and it folds up easily. I would buy one again in a heartbeat. My absolutely only issue with it was the basket on the bottom streatched out to the point of being unusual (probably from me overloading it!) but I was able to order a new one and it just snapped right on.

I really hope everyone likes theirs, because we bought one yesterday! I read reviews online and it seemed that the only real complaint was the sagginess that dpline mentioned. I'm glad to hear that you can buy a new basket. This stroller is so lightweight!

DPline was SO gracious enough to give me hers and I LOVE it!!!!!!!

My only issue with it right now is that it won't hold a car seat carrier...at least I can't figure out how it will...so I'm using a CHEAP garage sale find stroller that is such a PAIN for the winter. I'm too lazy to take a sleeping baby out of her carrier and into the freezing cold here in MI.

I can't wait to use it DAILY in the spring!!!

It really is a great, lightweight...easy to manuever stroller!!!!

Thanks again DPline...YOU ROCK!!!!!

We are looking for a double stroller as well. When we looked at the Aria Twin, the canopies looked REALLY small, like they wouldn't give the kiddos any shade. Do you find that to be true?

Thanks ~

I had the single and didn't care for it because it was difficult to turn, but I did love the lightweight and compactness of it. We went with the Combi double, and it's also lightweight and seems to turn better for me. It is difficult shopping with it at the mall, so we also bought the Graco Quad (I think that's the name). It's tandem and has tons of cubby space and drink/snack holders.. It is easy to fold and unfold too, but it is HUGE and weighs a ton.. I still haven't found a double that I absolutely love.. I was just in London, and WOW, their strollers are SO much more sturdier than ours... Big wheels, nice handles, etc.. They did use the Maclaren and also other brands I hadn't heard of.. One was Stokkes.. I don't know if it's available here or not..

We have the Aria twin and love it. Agree about the doorway problem - sometimes it is a TIGHT fit. Being a stubborn adoptive mother of two 2-year olds, I figure if someone in a wheelchair can figure out how to get through some of these doorways, surely we can!

I find it lightweight, and I can handle the two of them while getting it out and opening it. The kids love it because they can put their snacks and cups down.

Despite the fact that it is not meant for the job, we've also taken it on a few 5K walks, etc.

I have the Peg Perego Aria twin and love it. I have an 18 month old DS and 29 month old DD. The trays are great since my DS loves to snack and the basket is nice and big underneath. It can be tight to get through doorways, but I always manage to get it through. The stroller is very lightweight and easy to open to close. So, the Peg Perego Aria twin is a good stroller, just be prepared to learn how to squeezed the stroller through doorways! We have traveled with this stroller and no problems at all.

We have one and love it! The only problem we've had is our basket is beginning to sag...

The shades are pretty small. I could see it might be an issue with really little ones that you want to keep covered. My kids were older when they came home (20 months and 14 months at the time my second came home and we started using the stroller) so it was never an issue for us. It wasn't like either were napping in it while out or anything. Just transportation and a way to keep them contained! Also, I am in Michigan, so it isn't like we were dealing with a lot of hot sun!



Amy - I am just thrilled to have someone to hand off my used stuff to to get it out of my house!

Marcy - Aren't the strollers in England amazing? I bought a single when we lived in England and it was SO much nicer than even the pricest ones here. I used it constantly there and here for 3 years. The seat was trashed from climbing in and out, but the frame was still like new.

I have the aria twin, and don't like it. The canopies offer very little shade. The straps are crazy...it has a chest and lap strap that can all be connected, but you have to keep attaching the chest part to the back of the seat....I know this probably doeesn't make sense!

As soon as they sit forward, it slips out of where the harness goes in. Not a problem for when they are in the stroller, but when you take them out, the straps get all tangled.

This stroller is better than the combi twin...that was terrrible.

I still haven't found a great one...I would maybe order european?

[DPline]

Can't solve the canopy issue for you, but I know what you mean about the straps working loose after a while. (Mine were secured when I got it, but what ever was holding them eventually broke loose.) I took tiny electrical zip ties and secured the straps to the loops on the back of the seat and end of problem. Does that make sense?

I have the Macclaren Twin Triumph. My girls are older and I didn't want a bells and whistles stroller (no cupholders and tray tables was fine by me). I really needed it for travel (single mom of two navigating airports, zoos, amusement parks etc). So, this works great. The girls can get in and out pretty easily, the straps adjust fine, it folds up small and doesn't take up the entire back of the van, is lightweight and maneuvers easily. The baskets aren't much to speak of but they work. All in all I am happy with it.
