The Peg Perego GT3 ForTwo is a double tandem stroller with all-terrain wheels for traversing a variety of surfaces. Its defining feature is a sling seat in the storage compartment behind the primary seat. Reviews say this extra seat is best for occasional use, not for a full-time second rider. It has only a three-point harness while the primary seat has a five-point harness. Adding the second seat drastically reduces the amount of available storage, and the storage basket is tough to access when a child is in the seat.
Reviewers agree that the GT3 ForTwo maneuvers exceptionally well on all types of terrain, thanks to three air-filled 11-inch wheels and a set of shock absorbers that can be adjusted to three different settings. The stroller also has a hand brake and large sun canopy with a zip-open mesh portion to improve airflow. The included rain cover protects the front rider only, but rear fenders prevent splashing.
The GT3 ForTwo doesn't fare as well with owners as it does with experts. Users say that contrary to its name, the stroller isn't equipped to handle two children and is difficult to push. There are also a number of complaints about the front wheel wobbling even in the fixed-wheel position.

The Peg Perego GT3 ForTwo earns a rating of only 2 out of 5 stars in a handful of customer reviews. Owners say the stroller is difficult to push and, in spite of its "for two" moniker, cannot handle two children. They like its longer handlebar and smooth ride over rough terrain, but it receives few other compliments.
