Stroller Reviews Please

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?

I love my double MB as well. I don't have twins but both my boys use it and it is great as both seats recline individually.
Only down size is that it takes up my whole boot

Not sure where in NZ you live so i trawled trademe for some different slimmer versions to show you some options

Babycare Twin stroller

Childcare Lunar Twin Stroller

SKEP Royal Twin stroller

Phil and Teds Double

Maclaren Double buggy

Babywise - Warehouse Brand

Mothers Choice - Minik8e has this one

Older style Phil and Teds Double

Valco Baby Front and Back

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).

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...?

They said they have to order them in and that's the cheapest they can get them - I'm quite gutted lol.

Just bumping this, this site maybe useful to someone

Has anyone used the Mountain Buggy Duet? We are thinking of buying one but just want to know if it really fits through standard door frames as easy as they say it does. It still looks quite wide to me.

[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! Cheers :)

I'm loving my new mclaren double stroller!
