TWIN ARIA - MAMAS AND PAPAS PLEASE

[MRSW]

Hi all

We're currently looking at getting the twin aria from mamas and papas has anyone had any good / bad experiences with this????

Also does anyone know what the handel height is???

many thanks in advance

havent used one myself, but have seen loads about, so it seems a very popular choice.

I've got a single Aria, have had it for 18 months and it's great, very light to use but seems comfy too. If I was thinking of getting a double buggy, I'd definitely go for it with my experience of the single.

I'm 5'7" and the handle seems fine for me but then my mum is 5' and she seems to manage OK too.

Sorry, not much help am I?

What age/ weight do you think the older child could go up to?????? in it.

we have one - dd is 2y2m, ds 4mo. It is a delight to push when ds is in it, because it's very light and there is a continuous handle so I can steer it and hold hands with dd (which I couldn't do with a buggy with a handle at each corner). They both really like it and ds is very snuggly in his cosytoes. DD likes sitting forward and leaning on the bar, and I imagine ds will too when he's a little older. It's rather harder to move/steer when dd is in it, and she's not heavy, quite a lifting job is required to get it over curbs etc. It goes through most doorways, especially if you go in backwards so that the front wheels are then straight. I can imagine dd fitting in it for quite a while, but maybe not if she was in her thick coat. We shopped around for ages and chose the twin aria and are very pleased with it

Would your dd still fit init when she is 3/4 do you think????

ANYONE ELSE PLEASE

I have 22mnth DS and 5 mnth DD in mine. DS is very slim and is a bit of a squeeze in his winter coat - would definitley not fit in next winter in big coat at 2.5yrs but would fit in it at that age in the summer, if you see what I mean. DD is quite chunky and I doubt she will fit next winter when all wrapped up. I find it really nice to push and like the continuous handle, rather than one at each side. DS also likes the bumper bar as can sit up against it, but is also removable. Is not brilliant at getting up kerbs as the wheels are pretty small (not as good as my M&P 3in1 whith nice big wheels). Its not got the most well padded seats I've ever seen but I'm sure its comfy enough as long as not on v bumpy ground, but copes ok with muddy grass in the park. Rain cover is good and fits in shopping basket. Only 2 seat positions but as neither child sleeps in it this hasn't caused any probs. Not sure of handle height but I'm 5'3" and DH is 6' and we both find it easy to push. Only thing is its a bit of a bugger to 'click' it shut, but this probably just a prob with mine, rather than the model in general.

have single one, is great becuase so light but also can use from birth...highly recommend, assume double is just as good...
