The Combi Twin Savvy side-by-side double stroller gets reasonable but not outstanding reviewer feedback. Parents are enthusiastic about its light weight, and they like the fact that it folds easily and fits well through doorways. They're less positive about its durability. There are some complaints that it's not comfortable for taller parents to push. In the same price range, the Inglesina Twin Swift

(*Est. $250, discontinued) gets consistently high ratings for its maneuverability, sturdiness and individually reclining seats. While experts say side-by-side double strollers tend to be more maneuverable, their width makes them less practical on buses and in narrow store aisles than tandem strollers like the Graco DuoGlider LX (*Est. $150). Another option is the phil&teds Sport Buggy Double (*Est. $450, plus $90 doubles kit), which converts from a single stroller to a double and can be configured to accommodate both newborns and toddlers.

Editorial reviews at Baby-Gaga.com are an interesting hybrid in that they're actually based on data collected from online user reviews. Their coverage of the Combi Twin Savvy is thorough and balanced, with individual scores and write-ups on several attributes, including the harness system, storage options and maneuverability. About.com also has an editorial review of the Combi Twin Savvy, but it's far less detailed, and the rating process isn't clear. There's also good coverage from users posting to Epinions.com, plus a few entries on Amazon.com and one at BabyWorld.co.uk.

About.com's guide to twins and multiples, Pamela Prindle Fierro, includes the Combi Twin Savvy in its roundup of the top 10 double strollers for twins.
