Mamas & Papas Twin Aria

I used this pushchair for my twins from birth until they were almost 3 years old and insisted on walking everywhere themselves. I loved the fact the seats laid flat for newborns and very lightweight. My only gripe was the footmuffs were designed for the single version and didn't really fit properly.

We have found it very useful for a toddler and baby, as it can be used from newborn. It is very light, useful when you have to lug it up 2 flights of stairs or put into the car, although it does take up quite a lot of room width ways. We can fit it on top of the suitcase so it is not too "deep" when folded and you can at least get other things in the car!

It is very manoeuverable when out( you can turn it round in a smallish lift) but I do keep getting the double wheels stuck on chair legs which can drive you insane sometimes!

There is a handy little tray on the front for putting toys and snacks on, but it does make it difficult to strap/ clip on toys. Unlike the single version there is not well for the ( --fruitshoot-- --bottle-- )drink cup.

I bought this for my twins when they were born, but replaced it for the Nipper when they were only 6 months. Initially it was great, and the positions were great for sleeping in. But by the time they were 6 months old I found it much more difficult to steer and quite flimsy - the top moved before the bottom! I agree it's lightweight, easy to put in the car and fitted through most doorways, but the Nipper ticks all these boxes and is much easier to manoeuvre. Save yourself time and money and go for the nipper first time - I've never looked back!

Very lightweight, lots of storage. Unfortunately, lots of bad points too - extremely difficult to manoever, and felt a little 'shoddy' with my 20mth son in and baby. I'll be trading mine in for something a little more substantial, and easier to steer.

This pushchair was perfect for the needs of our family. It was so lightweight which was my main concern regarding a double pushchair. My daughter was comfortable in the Aria from 2 1/2 years until now 3 1/2, as was my son, he used the chair from birth. The pushchair folds up easily and fitted well into the boot of our car. I found I could fit into most shops easily as the Aria is one of the most narrow side by side doubles available. Finally, you don't have to deal with the "whose in the front seat" issue with this pushchair as the children are next to one another.
