Chicco Echo Twin Stroller Coal - Black

Product Information

Gemma ended up with a list of almost 30 products which she whittled down to 13 to put to the test, covering a range of needs, lifestyles, brands and budgets. Age range: Newborn (with carrycot) to 4 years | Maximum load: 45kg (22kg on each seat) across two seats | Product weight: 15.5kg | Dimensions: 87 × 76.5 × 41cm (folded); 104.5 × 80 × 102cm (unfolded) | Travel system-compatible: Yes | Orientation: Side by side What we love The buggy bumped over kerbs well and the swivelling front wheels give it a fairly tight turning circle. The handlebars are padded for comfort but not extendable, though they are a decent height which suited Liz’s tall partner (6ft 3). While the buggy can be pushed one-handed, it’s difficult to steer, which is mostly down to the split handlebar.

The Chicco Echo came in close to the bottom with the Combi Twin Cosmo earning a 4 of 10 score, only the Jeep scored lower in this metric. Despite being small and lightweight, the iCandy Peach 7 has been designed with quality in mind, with plush seats and a cosy carrycot lining that small babies will enjoy. I had one years ago and still have fond memories... loved loved loved it - Mumsnet user, Shylo Our verdictEasy to Fold and Store: It couldn’t possibly get more convenient than the Chicco Cortina Together Double Stroller makes it with the one-hand activated automatic fold and storage latch. It only takes one hand to fully condense the stroller for easy storage. Limited Coverage: The umbrellas that come with the stroller are smaller in size, which result in them not protecting your children completely from the sun. If you live in an environment with less sun exposure, then this may not be a concern for you—but if the sun is intense or even strong enough to bother your wee one, then you may want to think of other options to protect them from the sun’s harmful rays. We tested the seats with one and both children inside, using a heavy bag to see how it would cope with a second toddler and a 2kg bag in place of a newborn. The stroller has a low centre of balance, making it hard to topple. What about the brakes?

Cleaning: look at how easy the buggy will be to clean. Is the material waterproof? Can stains be removed easily? Consider whether you’d like to be able to remove the covers for machine-washing.The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double is pretty much ready to go straight from the box, which most will appreciate, and it boasts an intuitive design with a simple fold mechanism and an adjustable handlebar, with all other adjustment points on the pram highlighted helpfully in blue. Cleanliness: we wanted to know what the pram is like to clean. We carried out a cleanliness test to see how well the fabric coped when juice was spilled and how easily mud came off.

There’s no denying that the Peach 7 is pricey, but its versatility and slimline design makes it a great option for parents of twins. Available in a range of stylish colours and designs, it’s also a pram that will definitely turn heads.One of the biggest factors when considering what pram to choose is how much you want to spend. Double buggies can be expensive, but you don’t have to spend over the odds to get a decent model. Being able to wheel your pram into the house when your children are sleeping or load up the buggy before you leave home will be essential for many parents. It’s also great if you can wheel it around town and through shop doors easily. Now in its seventh generation, the iCandy Peach is a super versatile tandem buggy. Whether you want to use it as a single pram, a double buggy or a pushchair for twins, the pram offers up to 25 different configurations using seats, car seats and carrycots. The Chicco Echo Twin Stroller has two individual baskets that sit under each seat. Unfortunately, this makes them quite small – holding up to 2.3kg each – so aren’t adequate enough to fit bulky items.

Measuring just 66.5cm wide and weighing in at only 10.5kg, it’s very much geared towards urban life, fitting through most doorways with the ability to be wheeled in and out of your home. Forward Fold Front Seat: With the front seat able to fold forward with ease, it is possible to add a car seat attachment without a problem at all. Because the Echo Twin is very user-friendly, you’re unlikely to need the instructions again once you're set up. However, the manual includes warranty information, which is two years for manufacturing defaults, and head office details should you need them.

1. Best overall double buggy: Mountain Buggy Duet V3.2

Its simple design means that the Chicco Echo Twin Stroller is unlikely to turn heads. It’s not as stylish as the likes of the iCandy Peach 6 or the Mountain Buggy Duet V3.2, but that’s to be expected considering its price tag. The folding mechanism is fairly simple to get to grips with and, when folded, the buggy is compact and easy to store, both in a car boot and at home. The buggy can be used from birth with a carrycot, however it’s not suitable for twins until six months. You also have to pay extra for a carrycot and rain cover. The best double buggy is the Mountain Buggy Duet V3.2. A compact and versatile side-by-side pram, it’s suitable for twins or siblings of different ages and can take up to two seats, carrycots or car seats. It has an easy one-handed fold mechanism, a big storage basket and four big tyres to make it a great all-rounder for any terrain. Chicco strollers are designed to adapt to your lifestyle, whether you're strolling through the park, navigating crowded sidewalks, or traveling. With intuitive features and innovative designs, these strollers ensure maximum convenience for parents on the go.
