Stroller Review- Continued

See preface to this post:  Which double stroller do I need?!

1)      iCandy Peach/Pear/Blossom

To begin, the “unique” option! I drool over this and wonder where this was when I had twins. This is SMALLER and more compact than anything else you are going to see. Easier to shop with, but in turn, perhaps not great if you are destined to have big kids, since it won’t last as long:

The pictures speak for themselves! The stroller can take one OR two seats. The combinations are endless. Two bassinets, two seats, two car seats, or any combination of the two! We have no local iCandy dealers, but you can order online. Rick (rick@hipbabygear.com) at Baby On The Run, is FABULOUS to deal with and will answer any questions you have.  Enter the code multiple on the site to get 10% off your purchase!

2)      Mountain Buggy Duet

If you’re looking for a more traditional option, Mountain Buggy is releasing their new Duet stroller in 2011. This is being touted as the most NARROW side-by-side stroller, measuring in at 25" wide. That’s a full 5" narrower than the Mountain Buggy Urban Double. The narrowest SBS currently on the market is 28.5", so this is a HUGE difference!

This was viewed by many at the ABC show and is planned to accept two car seats, or two bassinets!

3)      ABC Reclining Toddler Seat

The only problem with this stroller is finding one! They pop up from time to time, but since there are no US dealers, you have to import them. I owned a double with a reclining toddler seat and it was FABULOUS! For you triplet and quad moms, this is the only stroller I know about that can work FROM BIRTH until toddler-hood AND fits through standard doorways.

You can order online and have your stroller shipped. These are incredibly well made and ABC, or Adventure Buggy Company, is owned by Phil and Ted, who make the Phil & Ted strollers we see in the US.

The downfall to this stroller, is if you are short, it can be difficult to see over the top seat. At a whopping 5’2”, I could kinda see, but had to look to the side.  I have several pictures of myself standing behind this stroller. Comment below with your email if you'd like me to send a picture to you.

4)      Stroll-Air My Duo

This is a SBS stroller with two independent seats. The seats can either be forward or parent facing and each seat has its own canopy. It can also accept two infant seats (I believe this is also how the Duet will accept two carseats), or two bassinets (which I believe are sold separately).  The Stroll-Air My Duo also had an adjustable handle bar, which makes it ideal for parents of different heights, so everyone can be comfortable pushing the stroller.
