Any Real Life Reviews of this Twin Stroller?

[~Adorkable~]

I am looking into twin strollers, i had things all figured out when it was just a single, but now I'm starting at point one again!

So far after my first serious look thru I have been interested in Stroll-Air My Duo Double Stroller

Does anyone have one of these or first hand experience with one? What do you gals think?

Also, how big of a deal do you think it is to be able to have young twins facing you, facing rear? It seems so very nice when they are little, but I have no experience in the matter just a gut feeling.

never used that one, but after looking at it i'm thinking the sun shades don't look big enough, and do you need inflatable wheels for uneven surfaces? those wouldn't be so great on anything but pavement or inside i don't think.

have you checked out the valco twin trimode? same price point. i have it and love it!

I bought - and promptly resold - a Stroll Air twin stroller about 4 years ago (when pregnant with the twins). It was not this model.

However, the reason I sold it was:
- mostly, it just had a really cheap/crappy build quality that was not on-par with the price at all. Perhaps this one is different, but I hope you can see it in-person and not be buying remotely as I did. The fabrics were low-quality and the fit and finish wasn't good.
- Dumb design in way baby seats attached to frame (change forward/reverse) and dumb bar in the middle of access to basket
- Cheezy details like suspension baffles over the front wheels that turned out to just be A TRICK (ie. no front suspension). I realize this model apparently has front and rear suspension.
- Rear cam brake was cheaply-made and didn't work well.

Perhaps they've learned their lesson and completely re-vamped on this stroller, but those are things I could recommend to check on specifically.

Now, without experience on this particular stroller, I agree with the other poster that sunshades might be inadequate. I also think the front wheels look on the small side for any off-road travels with a stroller fully loaded with toddler twins.

It was a very important feature to me to have a stroller that could convert to both babies facing me when younger and we used that for quite some time. The difficulty in finding that feature is what prompted me to buy the Stroll-Air in the first place. I bought a Teutonia Team Alu 4 instead (having had a singleton stroller by this same company - who makes Britax carseats) and was very happy with it. Now I just need to get in gear to sell it so some other twin mom's life can be easier using it!

Wow that pretty contructive feedback, thanks!

In general how important do you ladies think it is to have your stroller under the magical 30in width?

Are either the valco model reverseable? I like how skinny they are but keep thinking that rear facing is am important thing in the first year.
