We bought this stroller for our nanny share since there were two infants. I loved the look of the stroller and the socially responsible message of the manufacturer. It appeared to be equal in quality and construction with the similar Maclaren and Peg Perego twin strollers, but with a price in between. Since this would be used in the city, I was impressed by the shock absorbers on the tires and the easy turning radius. It also has a large basket under the seats. Within three months, one of the straps that controls the recline on one seat snapped so you had to tie the seat into the position you wanted. Within six months, the plastic parts on the shade started cracking and breaking. Within 9 months, parts of the metal frame began to break where holes had been drilled for screws/bolts. At first, we thought it was just our nanny being careless, but there were just too many issues for the blame to reside with her alone. Within a year, it was completely falling apart. What a disappointment. In retrospect, it is worth the investment in a better stroller. The Instep twin we purchased as a replacement is outstanding.
