3.0 out of 5 stars Go for an older model!, January 22, 2008

This review is from: Peg Perego Duette Twin Stroller - Toffee (Baby Product)

We are expecting twins in 2 months or so and I have been on the quest for the perfect stroller. Truthfully while there are a lot of TANDEM strollers out there there aren't a lot of TWIN strollers. One kid almost always gets shafted and they work best for an older and younger kid, not twins.

With the two Graco tandems, the kid in front can't recline all the way - not good for two kids the same age who will both be in the "napping in the stroller" phase at the same time. You're forced to use the buckets with these early on and I don't want to have to use a bucket to put an infant in the stroller. I hate the snack tray on the front of the glider (has to be popped off, not swung open) and I hate how the back kid in the Quattro seems squished and fenced in.

Lack of recline for front kid carries on across many brands of tandems. Combi, Safety 1st, PP Tender, etc.

The Kolcraft Contours approximates perfection... seats are equal, kids can recline (so suitable for newborns)... main problem is seats are SMALL and I see the stroller outgrown at 2 - 2 1/2 which is TOO SOON in my opinion. (My son is 4 and still rides in his Quattro single from time to time)

Really for good, equal, twin worthy tandems, there are two options - PP Duette or Inglesina Domino. Both pricey - and I can't find an Inglesina in person anyway which makes me scared to order one.

I saw the new Duette in a store and it was ... all right. It has some great features - the seats will hold an older/larger child. The seats can be moved about to face mom, face forward, face each other, face away. BOTH seats recline flat (or near enough that it's not worth quibbling!) Sun shades are good! Seats are EXACTLY the same! Biggest drawbacks are price (high!) and the steering wheel (anyone else worry it is one more thing to break?? And what will THAT cost you??) It's also HUGE and kind of annoying to fold - seats must be removed - but that's worth it IMO for the price of equal seats. (And removing the seats is EASY, just an extra step)

We ruled it out, though... for now.

Recently I discovered the world of the used Duette... and I just bought one from 2002. They did NOT have the steering wheels then which makes it seem so much less cumbersome. But all other features are there - great seats, canopies, etc. Wheels are smaller but still handle well. My 4 year old can sit in it quite happily - and he can climb in and out himself which I am not sure would hold true for the Inglesina (seems taller). And the price... one-fifty. It fits behind the back row of our Toyota Sienna so it's not too huge.

I am quite happy with this purchase for that price - and trust me, I am a die-hard Peg Perego hater so that means something. But the Duette is a winner for twins IMO. Can be used from birth till 4. No one gets shafted. Can't beat that. My one real complaint is the basket is huge but not very accessable - you have to really shove things under seats and/or take seats out to put things in. It would be nice if it could fold without removing seats, but again, at the used price - happy to deal with this.

I'd give the old models 4-5 stars and the new ones maybe 3. They are just too much money and I don't trust that steering wheel! But the old model is awesome. Look for one!

1.0 out of 5 stars the duette is a horrible double stroller, October 14, 2006

Do you want a dependable double stroller that you can count on to be usable when you are out and about with your children? DO NOT BUY A DUETTE!! If you enjoy continual service problems, paying shipping and handling for parts that need to be replaced soon after you get your overpriced stroller and something that is so big and heavy that you need a helper to get it in and out of the van - well, then, the duette might be for you! Just be sure to buy a back up stroller so that you can still go places while you are waiting for your replacement parts!!!! Luckily, this is my third double stroller since we have many children. The others (Graco duos) lasted years and are still usable. The premium expensive one has been a huge waste of money and a source of continual frustration. Be warned!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best double ever!, October 5, 2008

This stroller is awesome! I use it for my 7 month old and my almost 4 year old and he still fits just fine. I've also had him and my almost 5 year old sit in it together when I didn't have the baby with me and they both love being able to recline at the same time to rest on a big shopping trip. And the leg rests actually accommodate older kids so that they still have a place to put there feet. All the other double's that we tried first of all they didn't work for older kids and 2nd they didn't have a place for the feet without them raising there legs way up.

The steering wheel is amazing as well! There is not a single double stroller on the market that you can easily steer one handed EXCEPT the Duette. It makes shopping so much easier when you have a stroller that is so much easier to steer.

We love how the infant seat snaps on as well too. Sometimes right in the middle of the store we will swap the seats around because my son will decide that he wants to entertain the baby so I will quick flip the seats around so that they face each other. Its SOOOOO COOL! Oh and I still love the floating harness that Peg has on all there strollers. Its so nice for the kids to be able to lean forward instead of being pinned down to the back of the seat.

You will not regret this purchase!
