Chicco Echo Twin Stroller Coal - Black

Product Information

The Echo had the lowest score for ease of setup out of all the products in this category. It earned just 5 of 10, with the top ranking Combi Twin Cosmo and Britax B-Agile Double tying with a 7. It took just over 12 minutes to assemble the Echo. It had good documentation compared to the other products in our review, but it would be better if all of the assembly directions were lumped together and appeared before the operation instructions, instead of them being sprinkled in together. No tools are required for assembly which is nice for those mechanically impaired. It lost points primarily for how long it took to get it ready to stroll, the longest time for any product in this category. Best Applications Narrow Design: Unlike strollers for two that are designed for the children to be side-by-side, this stroller has the children in front of one another, allowing for the design to be narrower and, consequently, easier to maneuver. The best double buggy is the Mountain Buggy Duet V3.2. A compact and versatile side-by-side pram, it’s suitable for twins or siblings of different ages and can take up to two seats, carrycots or car seats. It has an easy one-handed fold mechanism, a big storage basket and four big tyres to make it a great all-rounder for any terrain. There’s no denying that the Peach 7 is pricey, but its versatility and slimline design makes it a great option for parents of twins. Available in a range of stylish colours and designs, it’s also a pram that will definitely turn heads.

Previously awarded our best overall double buggy award, the Out n About Nipper Double V4 is a side-by-side three-wheel model for twins or siblings of different ages. With two children in tow, you’ll require a sturdy pram that you can load up for a day out. The Echo Twin’s frame is made from steel with several plastic components and, while not as solid as pricier buggies like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, it’s sturdy enough to comfortably hold two children plus extra baggage. Being a popular worldwide brand, Chicco’s instruction manual comes in multiple languages. It includes good diagrams and explanations on how to assemble and use the pram, as well as basic care information. We liked the recline mechanism on this buggy – one of the best we tested – and found adjusting it with one hand easy to accomplish. The recline feels secure and smooth when in lie-flat mode, so it doesn’t disturb a sleeping child, and the harness can be adjusted for children of different ages. Age range: Newborn to 4 years | Maximum load: 18kg in each seat; 9kg per seat in newborn mode (lie-flat) | Weight: 15kg | Dimensions: 32 × 65 × 89cm (folded); 114 × 65 × 108.5cm (unfolded) | Travel system-compatible: Yes | Orientation: Side by side What we loveAfter a week of testing, covering around 10 miles, the wheels looked used, but the material and chassis were left in good condition. Is it good value for money?

The handlebar is split and, though Chicco says it’s not designed to carry a changing bag, Liz hung her own off one side to test this out. Reassuringly, the buggy didn’t feel unbalanced or topple, even when her four-year-old jumped out of the seat unexpectedly. This is a buggy that will, quite literally, go the distance, with a maximum weight limit per seat of 22kg, which is around four years of age. It’s not travel system-compatible, but you can attach a carrycot to give more support in the early months. This stroller can accommodate up to 40 pounds per seat. The model is sturdy and secure, ensuring the utmost protection for your young children. The swivel wheels make it easy to maneuver busy sidewalks, and the positioning of the seats being one in front of the other allows for the model to be as narrow as possible, heightening its maneuverability.
