Great twin pram with option for 3rd child

General Review

I needed a twin pram that could take a toddler seat and when I bought this I wasn't aware of alternatives so it was the only way to go. I was never disappointed though. It folds easily, handles a breeze.

Pros

Independant seat reclines are great and now it comes with seperate hoods too. My unity baby capsule fit nicely into one of the seats although its not designed for it it was very secure as I had the toddler seat on the front too which held it in place.
Easy to steer
Comes with headrests for newborns and raincover etc so no need to purchase costly extras
easy to clean

Cons

The belts to adjust the seats are a bit of a nuisance to adjust
The front wheel eventually buckled because my my 3 childrens weight was 'over capacity' but I was at the time carrying 3+4 yr olds and a chubby baby... I have been reassured this wouldnt happen with the newer model as its been reinforced where the problem I had was.

General Review

just purchased, much prefer my swivelite delux from steelcraft instructions were and are totally hopeless that came with the pram doesnt even show how sun mesh attatches to pram feel sorry for any first time mums as i was frustrated on how i was to attatch the canopy to the pram , wished i had have bought the new steelcraft double jogger pram instead of this, totally dissapointed and the children would have had more coverage from the weather with the extra boot cover steelcraft do instead of having to purchase extras for this pram its footmuffs should be included in the price

Pros

colour ok

Cons

big and awkward not enough pockets basket to small hate the zip seating options

General Review

After having the Twin Valco runnabout I didn't even review other prams just went and bought the single for this bub.

Pros

It is smooth and easy to push, Folding is easy, wheels come off with the push of a button to make it lighter or more comact in the boot, loads of pockets, zip in sun shade. The DE I have also has a huge boot cover which is great

Cons

can't really think of any...
