I just bought a MacLaren Twin Techno for travelling overseas with my 22 months old twins. We are normally using the duo mountain buggy which is just so easy to set up. So it will be interesting to see how the MacLaren compares. I did want to have a stoller that reclines, otherwise I would have liked to have something even smaller and lighter than the MacLaren (although can't imagine the really cheap ones which are astonishingly small when folded up, will last for a long time).]]> Mon, 21 May 2012 23:45:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37103&PID=5798894&title=stroller-reviews-please#5798894 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37103&PID=5797516&title=stroller-reviews-please#5797516 Author: Shells79

[QUOTE=UpsyDaisy] Lol the duet is not that wide will def fit through standard doors I tried both in the shop with 15mth old toddlers but ended up buying the duo (standard double MB) as I thought the seats are quite narrow for toddlers.

But if buying from newborn age I would have got the duet. I am sure the duet will fit through standard doors as my duo does. I have never come accross a door it does not fit people often comment on how big it is and I have to admit on occasion I am thinking will it get through that door but it always just makes it.


Thanks Upsy Daisy! It just looks big in the shop. I'm also concerned if it will fit in our cars! So much to think about when purchasing a twin pram!

I was just in Baby Factory and Baby City in Lower Hutt last week and they both had the strollers. They don't recline though so maybe they were talking about reclining ones.

We have the ABC double with the reclining top seat. It's great - but HUGE!!

We also have just got a SKEP double stroller (and I'll babywear #3) and to be honest, it is cheap for a reason. There are a few parts on there which we don't think will last long. It's a pain to fold up as you have to take parts off it. And it is pretty big too.

minik8e - wow that is a good price! We asked at both baby factory & babycity and they said they had no double strollers under $350...?]]> Wed, 19 Jan 2011 22:31:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37103&PID=1245481&title=stroller-reviews-please#1245481 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37103&PID=1245180&title=stroller-reviews-please#1245180 Author: linda

Not that they are strollers but I want either the new Bugaboo Donkey (not sure about the name!!) or the new MB plus one.

Oh well, I checked with the MB club and they have a new stroller that folds up quite small so am going to trial that and see how it goes.]]> Wed, 19 Jan 2011 18:39:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37103&PID=1245180&title=stroller-reviews-please#1245180 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37103&PID=1222154&title=stroller-reviews-please#1222154 Author: minik8e

I wanted the Lunar soooooo bad - they're about $150 brand new from Baby Factory. Be aware that some of them (Babycare is one, from memory) are no narrower than a double MB, which can be an issue when it comes to doorways in older shops (I can't take the pram into many of my local shops, as they are older buildings and have your standard doors which aren't much wider than you normal house one, if at all).]]> Thu, 16 Dec 2010 23:25:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37103&PID=1222154&title=stroller-reviews-please#1222154 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37103&PID=1222144&title=stroller-reviews-please#1222144 Author: linda

I have the double MB and love it but am at the stage of looking at strollers. I do have a MacLarens double Triumph (I think) but am going to look for something a bit more compact (although seats need to recline).

Well for walks we have the Mountain Buggy Duo and I love it. It's so easy to manouvere, the sun shade keeps the girls well protected and they seem pretty happy in it.

Initially we had 2 of the carrycots (which were fantastic) but the girls like to look around now so have switched to the buggy seat.

The only thing I find frustrating is the basket underneath is hard to access when the seats are reclined.

Oh and there is nowhere to put your ph (the carrycots had a wee pocket that was perfect)]]> Tue, 14 Dec 2010 12:40:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37103&PID=1220063&title=stroller-reviews-please#1220063 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37103&PID=1219927&title=stroller-reviews-please#1219927 Author: UpsyDaisy

So far we have been using the snap and go for short trips and a graco double stroller for any walks. The small wheels of the graco annoy me.

DH wants to save up and buy a Marco Sky he thinks it looks cool and would match car.... but I think only one of the seats can recline so not that great if out and they need a nap.

Will be gutted to give up the snap and go for short trips we are finally just starting to go out without it feeling such a major expedition have been lucky they are not big babies and has lasted 8mth!

Like Danda posted in the other thread any of the buggy type 3/4 wheelers look good for walking but are huge so was thinking of getting a second narrower stroller or one where one goes behind the other for wee shopping errands during the twins up time.

We don’t have alot of $$ either so depending on price hoping to pick up something from trademe.

So I thought it would be a good idea to have a place for reviews.

So what do you have and why do you like it?
