Peg-Perego Aria Twin Review

What the reviewers like:
At only 14 pounds, the Peg-Perego Aria Twin Stroller earns high marks in reviews for portability and ease of pushing. Although this stroller requires two hands to fold, users say it folds compactly and is able to stand on its own when folded. Also, owners like the Peg-Perego Aria Twin double stroller's rear-locking brakes and swivel wheels, which improve maneuverability.

What the reviewers don’t like:
Owners of the Peg-Perego Aria Twin Stroller report some issues with durability (including decals that peel off shortly after purchase) and a safety harness that can be too-easily evaded by kids. Some users also cite this stroller for wheels that sometimes lock when in use, squeaky wheels and difficult steering. Many parents say that the Peg-Perego Aria Twin works best on smooth surfaces.

Peg-Perego Aria Twin review highlights

Owners give the Peg-Perego Aria Twin double stroller (which situates two stroller seats side by side) mixed reviews for a variety of aspects ranging from its decals (which are reported to peel off almost right after purchase) to its five-point harness system that can be too-easily detached by children. Some parents also cite difficulty steering this stroller. On the plus side, however, reviewers and users like the Peg-Perego Aria Twin double stroller's light weight (14 pounds), easy folding, smooth ride and weather protection. If you want a side-by-side double stroller, the less expensive Inglesina Twin Swift (*est. $250) gets better reviews overall.
