We live in a little town is Surrey, and when I go out with the kids 99% of people smile to us, or asks "Double trouble?". Well it is not very easy when you have to manage two little kids. They aren't twins, there is 19 months difference between them. So in order that I could do the shopping or just walk somewhere calmly we decided to buy a twin buggy. I had previously a navy Maclaren Triumph and I love that buggy too, so it was obvious that we choose the twin version of this buggy.
We ordered from the manufacturer's site (www.maclarenbaby.co.uk). Although they say that the buggy delivery is free, they charge you for almost 4 pounds for some reason. Anyway, the buggy is great and we received it quite quickly. It was folded and carefully wrapped in a transparent wrapper then put in a big box. When I opened I had to put on the hoods. As we have two sons, we ordered navy again.
Size The buggy is 10.6 kg without the hoods, this was an important factor for me. It is 75 cm wide, which means that I can push it through most of the doors.
Price We ordered from Maclaren shop for 165 pounds and 4 pounds extra for I don't know exactly why.
Features - It can be folded easily to umbrella fold. I can't do it with one hand, like the simple Triumph, but is really easy. - The two seats can be reclined separately and there are a lot of possible positions as it is fitted with an adjustment strap on the rear. - It has two 5 point harnesses for the babies security. My elder son is clever enough to open a usual safety belt, but not this one. - Lockable front swivel wheels is one of my favourite, When you go mostly straight it is easier if you lock them. Swivel wheels are good for manoeuvring in a shop. - Brakes: I just have to push with my foot a lever in the middle of the buggy. I mean this lever is at the rear, so it is comfortable to push it. To release the brakes is easy to, I just have to push down the two brake levers at the wheels. - Raincover: it was included in the box, it covers the top of the buggy (the whole hoods) and the front obviously. There are 4 points where I have to fix it to the buggy. I store it in the shopping hood. - Padded seats are comfortable for children. Both of my sons slept hours in the buggy but for some reason never together. Not even for a minute. When one of them is sleeping, the other is active. After he wakes up, the other falls asleep. :) - 30 kg carrying capacity seems to be good for us, as my sons are 11 kg and 13 kg, we still can use this buggy for a while. - UV protective viewing windows are useful when we use the hood. I can see them while walking that they are okay or not. Actually I can't see their face, but for a quick check it is useful. - And finally the top of the hill, the sovereign lifetime warranty. Each buggy has an individual code you have to register online for this lifetime warranty. I don't know how useful this is, because our old buggy has this warranty too and never ever happened any harm to it, It works well, looks quite new. These buggies are very good quality, so you won't need to change anything on them.
Colours As I know there is a navy, a brown and a scarlet twin Triumph on the market, but on a foreign site I have seen a purple one, so I'm not so sure any more. At www.maclarenbaby.co.uk these three colours are available. That is 100%, I have checked it twice.
Summary I love this buggy, and I wouldn't choose other even for lower price. This buggy suits us very well. It is comfortable for the kids and is easy to push for me. It is just as wide as it has to be, so there are only a few places that remain unreachable for us.
Advantages: small, light, umbrella fold Disadvantages: small shopping tray
I bought this pushchair as a smaller replacement for the tandem i had. It is rather light weight compared to most twin strollers, and is one of the smaller width wise ones aswell being able to fit JUST through most standard doorways. It has a 5 point safety harness which seems not only child proof for opening but adult proof aswell! you have to squeeze both sides (top and bottom) of the clip to release it, which is brilliant especially if you have ... ...The seats are independant and lay back almost completely flat which is good if child wishes to lay down for a nap. The raincover is the best invention i have encountered on a pushchair, being one that loops over some pegs which stays put, instead of poppers or velcro which upset toddlers are able to kick off. It comes in three different colours of blue (most common), red and brown, and has an average retail price of £150 which is worth what you pay. ...
