lightweight double stroller for babies

Those who follow my Facebook page already know, I gave in to temptation and bought a new lightweight double stroller for babies to celebrate my return to work (yes, even that, it deserves a gift!)


A well good idea, since I realized by meeting my Super Nanny, that his lift was very small, and that the City Select are not be back within un-clip the seats (not handling it the right / ability to guard the circumstances views). The Mountain Buggy Duet is joining us early September. I chose the "Chile" colors that I found very nice:

The highlight (and central) of this stroller is its width 63 cm (on paper, because in reality it is rather approach 64/65 but we will not quibble), this is a feat in terms of construction, which is possible by the passage of the chassis SUB seats, not "around" them.

On conventional strollers is at the wheels and outside the frame that the stroller is at its widest, on MBDuet is the same width everywhere.


What is not said is that this architecture will play on all planes ....


Handling is excellent, it goes up the sidewalks by pushing with one hand on the handlebars. No land scares him. However, I was expecting a better stranded for  lightweight double stroller for babies!


So the tires to inflate / maintain regular basis, it was one of the reasons that made me delay the purchase (with the size of the seats, of which I speak below).
Indeed, on the second day, I found myself with a tire deflated a little, and I had to quickly find a pump. An advice, forget the "classic" pump hose, and take small pumps that "clipped" and stay there in the basket!

Note that Mountain Buggy offers a set of wheels "Aerotech" tubeless, which do not require maintenance of this type.
The stroller is a true optical illusion, people have the impression of seeing a tank arrived and retired to our visit, but we actually happening everywhere, I have been blocked once in a hyper narrow body, but when a case is less than 65 cm, it is the union that has a problem .
The  lightweight double stroller for babies, however, has some shortcomings noted, which are collateral damage of its width.

 Already the seat are very narrow. In winter with a big jacket, it's a little galley to attach my two babies (10 and 11 kg only ... ..). I slipped fine muffs, which accentuated this small problem. In height, they do not touch the top of the seat (2 years, approximately 87 cm)

 In nomadic good mom, my babies are still sometimes their nap in the stroller. Again it became a problematic strand. The notice specifies not to use the mode seats "lying" past 9 kg of the baby. I did not understand the limit of 9 kg, so I have overstepped the rule. Well again, due to the construction of the stroller, it created a huge imbalance, and the risk of tipping backwards if we do not pay close attention (including mounted the sidewalk, for example)

Some will say that I quibble! It is certain that this stroller is a major asset for Parisian parents of twins, for example, whatever, its weight is not necessarily an asset, it is very heavy, even empty. Just be warned, if it can accept two Cosys, making it a true twin stroller from birth, it requires removing the seats, and go wider in  lightweight double stroller for babies.
