The day has arrived when a parent has two young ones, perhaps a new born baby and a toddler, and transportation becomes a question. You are aware of the many strollers on the market and the long, long list of features, but the question then is “which one do I buy that’s lightweight, easy to use and designed for the parent on the go? Please allow us to introduce you to the Peg Perego Aria Twin Stroller.
The Peg Perego Aria Twin Stroller, is a lightweight, durable stroller solution designed to easily carry two young ones. The side-by-side seating arrangement features one seat at 60% wide while the second seat is 40%. (By the way, we recommend that you take a look at the Primo Viaggio SIP 30/30 car seat that is especially fitted for the double stroller). This way the stroller can be used as two regular seats or modified to carry a car seat on the 60% side and a regular seat on the 40% side. Either way, the Aria Twin double can easily fit through most standard doorways . . . easily. Did we say the Aria Twin was lightweight too? I thought we did. . .
To help you keep your little ones comfortable, the stroller’s backrests and hoods are independently adjustable. And, the dual Freedom of Movement, 5-point harness system allows your kids full range of motion yet secure at the same time. This stroller comes with dual front bumper bars and child trays that easily open and close so that you can quickly and simply seat and retrieve your children. For steering ease the stroller includes swivel wheels on the front, and stroller suspension with brakes on the rear.
This stroller’s upholstery is removable and hand washable, keeping the stroller fresh and clean for an enjoyable ride. For the parent the stroller includes a large basket for convenient storage for those items you need to take along, as well as a cup holder for your beverage of choice. Even this spacious stroller will fold quickly into a compact package that includes a convenient carrying handle. Four double wheels create a wide, sturdy surface to support your children’s’ weight and they provide a smooth strolling experience for all.
