As the handlebar doesn't lock into place when you press it, it struck her legs when she was using it. She also believed that the handlebar was on the short side. This is particularly true when a large bag for changing is hanging from it.
This double stroller is not as light as other buggies. It has a full range of features, and is among the most versatile double strollers available on the market. double pushchair with two carrycots (available separately), features several recline positions and a UV 50+ canopy.

The four wheels made of rubber are perfect for pavements and urban terrain however they're not made for off-roading - they struggled with long grass and gravel and there's not much space between the bracket and the wheel, so mud got stuck easily. But, our tester still loved riding this buggy, and it did manage to climb some pretty hilly terrains.

They also liked that the hoods were able to be moved back and forward making them easy to adjust in the sun or to provide wind protection. Our test subjects did notice, however, that they did not provide the same amount of coverage compared to similar to the Baby Jogger City Mini hoods which is why it's worthwhile to pack a rain cover to be prepared in the event of.
