 Very lightweight double that fits a car seat. August 9, 2010
Patrick J. Finley
Because of it's light weight I'll go 4 stars. This is probably one of the lightest double strollers on the market (21 lbs). For such a lightweight stroller it handles well. This is our mall and errand stroller. We where in the market for a double stroller that my wife could easily pick up and transport around. It also needed to fit one car seat. The canopies are big and it can fit a decent sized diaper bag underneath. It negotiates very well for a double stroller.
Due to it's light weight and non huge inflated tires we'll probably relegate this to pavement. We have a Bumbleride Indie Twin in our garage for trips to the park, grass and gravel. The Bumbleride is awesome, however my wife has a hard time picking that up and putting it in the SUV (weighs 34lbs), thus the need for a lightweight stroller.
Why we didn't go 5 stars:
-Not super easy to snap in the car seat. We have a Peg 30/30 and it's a bit tough to attach. Our 8 week gets jostled around when we snap this in.
-Cup holders not so great for kids or parents.
-Peg Perego customer service doesn't reply to our emails. You have to call them.
Nice for the money June 23, 2010

This is a nice stroller. It was $[...] shipped and that is what ultimately made my decision over a few options. I love the Kiwi green and the material is nice. It pushes nice, but it has this weird squeak that I'm not too sure about. It goes trough doorways very easy. The storage is nice underneath because there is a lot of room. The adult cup holder is a pile of crap because it wont stay attached. So plan to have something else to hold you stuff. I use the clip that hold this cup holder to attach my keys to when I go for walks.
My ultimate one and only thing that I hate about this stroller is the lack of cup holders for the children. How hard would it of been to make this one simple addition to this stroller. My girlfriend has the older version and I was really hoping that this would be changed as many complaints that I read about this flaw. My oldest hold it in his lap, but our single stroller had a very nice tray with a cup holder plus a adult tray with cup holder.
The weight is wonderful and it does fold up easy and flip out easy. But for the money it is a nice stroller. Also the wheels are bigger in the back vs the older model and that is nice. Plus my girlfriend said a nice improvement was the front wheel being placed in the center. she said the older model tires get hung up on the back tires in the older model and once she spent about 20 minutes at the zoo trying to get this stroller unstuck. So that is a nice thing about the newer version if you are looking between the two.
Hope this helps, I would buy this stroller time and time again even with the few things I don't like.
 so disappointed June 5, 2010

ahhhh where do I begin. I had such high hopes for this one.
Instead of this stroller, get the bumbleride twin if you can afford it (it's totally thin enough, don't worry :), or the joovy ergo (if you have a child willing to sit/stand).
Here's my review of the aria twin 2010......
- SHADE: the canopies look useless in the photo but they're actually nice & come all the way down to the tray. They don't go beyond the tray like the bumbleride twin, they go down to the side of the tray closer to the child. I don't know why they don't show that in the photos. the only thing is that they don't go 'out' far enough so when you pull it down all the way it goes right in front of their face. Kids don't like that. my kids duck their heads forward to the outside of the shade (does this make sense? like, the kids' faces are forward overtop of the tray b/c if they sat back the shade would be right in front of their faces. so I guess in that way the shade is useless. Oh, and the kids' legs are exposed.
- TRAY: the trays are easily removed and put back - just a button (not the same as the pliko p3 but similar). But there's a downside... (and this is a big but) ...The tray for the "40" seat is 1 inch wide. seriously. it's ~10 inches long and approximately 1 inch wide. (1 inch deep too). so if you line up 10 triscuits, that's the width and length of the indentation in the tray. I'm not kidding or exxagerating. no cup holder. the other tray (for the '60' seat is about 2 inches wide and has two tiny round sections for a cup on each end. really? do you think the older kid will let the younger kid put his cup on their tray? let me answer that for you. no. so the trays are there which is a plus, but the design is the worst I've seen.
- SEATS: seats are straight up & down which I LOVE. My kids don't like it when they can't sit straight up & down. (they do recline. they also fit big kids. with a 4year old & a 2 year old the seats were plenty big enough.
- MANEUVERABILITY: I was hoping to be able to turn it & push it with my pinky finger (like i can with my bob revolution or my bumbleride twin). nope. can't. it's fairly good steering & turning fully loaded but you still have to use 2 hands. ...and it has that catch up where the front wheels point in one direction and you want to go in the other direction, you have to reverse it & then push it forward. (happens with all strollers with double wheels in front). I had test driven the 2009 version & it pulled to one side horribly (whichever side had the heavier kid). This one doesn't. the 2010 model goes straight ahead. The scary part is that when you turn it, you can feel the whole frame twist like it's going to break. you can totally tell you're pushing a flimsy plastic stroller, (the frame is made of flimsy plastic, unlike the bob strollers or bumbleride or joovy ergo)
- COLORS: the one that looks beautiful blue and brown is not. it is this ugly gray stripe material and brown. there is absolutely no blue on it anywhere. it is very ugly. I mean very very ugly. it would've been pretty with blue & brown but they went with gray and brown which I wouldn't wear together if I were picking out clothes. and the gray is gray stripes. u.g.l.y.
- FIGHTING: there is no divider between the kids so they fight & have full access to eachother. Did I mention that the '60' kid has to share their extra cupholder with the '40' kid? not condusive to peace.
- DOORWAYS: it fits through a door but I definitely would not take this thing to the mall & expect to get around clothing racks. You'd be pushing and pulling the thing trying to get it to turn & it wouldn't fit anyway.
- STORAGE: looks good - I think I could actually fit some stuff down there. I could easily and comfortably fit 2 filled paper grocery bags down there to give you an idea. they would be easily accessable too. storage is a plus.
- HARNESS: they kept the harness design where the 5 point part of it is not secure. I don't know how to explain this properly - just think of it like this - there is only a 3 point harness. this stroller does not have a 5 point harness (it does but the top of the 5 point harness is not attached to anything so it's worthless. which is neither bad or good, it's just an observation. (actually it's only bad if you were hoping for a 5 point harness.
- FOLDING & UNFOLDING: easy to do
- WEIGHT & MATERIAL: you can lift it with one hand. very nice weight! ......oh, but the downside! when you turn this stroller, the whole thing is made of plastic so you can feel the entire frame torque. simply by turning a corner. the frame twists & I'm just waiting for it to snap. It won't but it feels like it will. I don't think this stroller would last long with my use.
anyhow, that's my review. here's my take on other strollers:
- gracos? too difficult to steer
- bob double? kids are reclined & no trays & storage is hard to get to (their trays are so poorly designed they are not worth buying) I have the bob revolution ($450 incl. accessories, great but only takes 1 kid & no useful cup holder (I bought the cup holder & it's worthless & the seats don't sit straight up)
- jane powertwin? great for kids under 1 year old but the seats still have to be removed to fold it
- baby jogger same problem as bob - kids are reclined (& they don't have good trays)
- kolcraft tandem? $200, it's a beast. super super heavy & you have to take the seats off (difficult) every time you fold it
- peg perego pliko p3 ($350, still use it but hard to steer),
- joovy caboose triple stroller ($400, too big for our suv - have to disassemble it for it to fit)
my 2 favorites are the joovy ergo sit & stand (i wrote a review on that one on amazon) & my favorite (which is the most perfect stroller I've ever tried & the only one I"ll ever need) is the ridiculously expensive bumbleride twin (I wrote a review for that one too).

We appreciate very much this stroller. It is much light than the other regular that I had. Only one thing, the
support for the bottle get out too much easily.
