Peg-Perego Aria Twin Stroller, Java (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT THIS STROLLER WHEN my baby was born, so I could stroll with my 2 yr old and baby, but I was stubborn and waited until she was 14 months.I love love love it and I am really judgemental on gear...I love the easy unfold and fold up. This stroller comes with snack trays, that lift up for easy in and out - a HUGE basket that holds everything, the front inset wheels are supurb! An excellent redesign! The cup holder is nice but whatever doesn't hold all cups/bottles - i don't mind,I really love the separate sun shades for each side they go really low. The recline is nice for each child as well. Unfortunately, the con, drawback, is the seat belt. Its terrible, the shoulder straps are not bolted down to the back of the seat -they are free and just a little part slides on the back of the seat, but oh well- Peg Perego is passing it off as some 180 mobility thing. The breaks are great, nice big handle. BUT you will need a little clip or hook or something to hold that extra bag or purse. It is much lighter than i had expected. I was going to buy this from Target and pay more - but took a chance - and bought from Amazon, I saved 100$, shipping and tax - SO nice!! I am so glad i did as I am very satisfied with this stroller!! I would recommend it, if you are not for the tatum (long strollers) I did not like those, i bought one -the joovy ergo - and Hated it- it was SOOO LONG like a limo - and Heavy. I could not fold the damn thing - I was not strong enuf- i eventually sold it on craigslist and waited til my mind changed and started liking the side by sides... Just keep your options open and look/reseach it all -I did read numerous other reviews on this stroller(60/40)and don't worry about the squeaky wheel - it can be fixed with some WD40--- Go for it and you'll love it too!! Good luck, Mom of 2 Girls now 3 and 14months and they love sitting by each other and visiting, etc!!

I was very skeptical about this stroller because of the mixed reviews. Since my kids are only 21 months apart, I needed a double stroller that was peg perego infant car seat compatible. I was also considering getting the BOB duallie but the double stroller attachment isn't peg perego compatible.Pros: Lightweight, easy to fold, infant car seat just snaps right in (this took some practice because at first it wasn't easy), good shade, able to push with one hand (my older child likes to walk around a lot. So I hold her hand as I push the stroller with my other hand), big basket (many times I end up going grocery shopping with the stroller and it holds A LOT!), stroller stands on it's own.Cons: Stops dead on when it hits a bump, no cup holder for kids, adult cup holder falls off all the time, two foot brakes on rear tires (should only have one that locks both wheels).One thing that that happens a lot but not so much of a big deal is that you're not able to put anything heavy on the handlebar without the kids. Once I put the kids in the car, the stroller falls backwards if a diaper bag is hanging on the hand bar. I assume this happens because the stroller is lightweight. I also have a BOB duallie for taking the kids for a jog and that thing weighs a ton compared to the ARIA twin. If you're looking for something lightweight, compact and stylish, I would recommend this stroller. I've gotten tons of compliments on it.

I bought for ease of walking my 4 mo old and 2 year old on walks to get my son off the bus and exercise. However, the push button sides are NOT as easy as on the video.I do like that they individually recline, the shade comes down super low to cover the baby.I did get stuck in rain and would highly recommend getting the rain cover of bought. The shades do not help keep the kids dry. The water falls right where both strollers connect and puddles in the basket below.It does not fit through a standard home doorway when up, but I believe it would fit fine if out shopping with it.There are trays which are great and easy to put on, remove, etc. but there is no space to hold a cup/bottle. But I did know that prior to purchase thanks to another review.I do not like that the harness is not fully connected. It just slides into a slot which is ok for older kids to allow more movement. However for my 4mo old I want more stability. Once she's fully sitting up and less wobbly I don't think it will be as big of an issue. Just not something I like right now.

Prior to owning this stroller we used the Chicco double stroller. I had trouble hearing my two year old talking to me as she was placed in the very front. Also, my two year old was constantly asking what her little sister was doing and would try to turn around to see her. This stroller is half of the weight of the Chicco, the girls can ride side by side which they both love (even the youngest at 3 months old). We have a Chicco car seat that does not snap into this stroller; however, it rests in there with no wobble and we have used it that way once so far without any trouble. I have not had any trouble steering this stroller and it does fit in a regular doorway. The only slight oddity I have with it is the 5 point harness just clips into a little slot at the top and easily comes out. Luckily my two year old doesn't really like the shoulder straps anyway and also will stay put with just the lap belt and my 3 month old is too young for it to pose a problem either. I absolutely LOVE this stroller, I'm so glad we got it!Update....the wheels can be very hard to turn the stroller with, it becomes quite difficult and hard to handle! Still love that it is light weight though.
