Chicco Echo Twin Stroller Coal - Black

Product Information

The Chicco Echo Twin can be used from newborn up to 15kg. The material is snug to the frame, ensuring no gaps for small fingers to get caught, and the seats nicely padded. The individual hoods, on the other hand, are fairly basic and offer no UV protection, only just covering the top of a child’s head in low winter sun. While you can remove the rear section of the hood to offer more air on hot days, this isn't a function that parents would get much use out of. We’d prefer a deeper, more effective, hood. Is there a rain cover? When it comes to assembly, the Echo Twin is pretty much ready to go straight from the box. The seats are already attached to the frame so all you'll need to do is attach the wheels and two hoods to the frame and adjust the straps. It took our tester less than 10 minutes to assemble. What’s in the box? With six sets of wheels, the Chicco Echo Twin Stroller has double that of the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double. If you have two babies and are searching for a Double Buggy, then this review would probably be the deciding factor in your search. Double Buggies are used by those parents who have more than one child. It consists of two particular designs – Tandem Buggy and Twin Buggy.

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. Despite not being able to push the pram through her front door, Liz liked the simplicity of its design and found it useful when taking her eldest to nursery and going for walks. What about the seats?

About Mumsnet Reviews

Because the Echo Twin is very user-friendly, you’re unlikely to need the instructions again once you're set up. However, the manual includes warranty information, which is two years for manufacturing defaults, and head office details should you need them. 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. We tested the seats with one and both children inside, using a heavy bag to see how it would cope with a second toddler and a 2kg bag in place of a newborn. The stroller has a low centre of balance, making it hard to topple. What about the brakes?

Its footprint is useful when going to shops and restaurants where space is limited, and it should fit neatly into a designated pushchair space on the bus.* After 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?

How big is the storage basket?

The B-AGILE DOUBLE is proof that side-by-sides can be streamlined too. This smart double buggy with its height adjustable handle can easily be steered with one hand. Plus, you can even use it for your little ones thanks to the lie-flat seat units – suitable for two soft carrycots – and the option to attach one infant carrier. So that two children really can mean twice the adventure. The dark fabric is robust though and doesn’t stain easily and, while the seat covers aren’t removable, they can be wiped with a damp cloth and mild soap. During testing, mud cleaned off the frame without much effort and the wheels cleaned up well with warm water and detergent. What’s the Echo Twin like to look at? Its simple design means that the Chicco Echo Twin Stroller is unlikely to turn heads. It’s not as stylish as the likes of the iCandy Peach 6 or the Mountain Buggy Duet V3.2, but that’s to be expected considering its price tag. The Chicco Echo Twin Stroller comes with a rain cover that fits over both seats, keeping both children nice and dry.
