Pros:
easy maneuver; middle handle; price; sturdiness
Cons:
heavy; canopy issues!
|

After doing extensive research, we decided on the Twin Swift and got it for $190 at Albee Baby. We are thrilled with it. To sum up:
I just took both kids - a 2 1/2 year old, and a 4 month old, on an international flight on my own. I had absolutely no problem steering the stroller through the airport with one hand while pulling a suitcase with the other. I even hung a HEAVY backpack on the handlebars and it was totally sturdy - even when the older child was out of the stroller.
I had some problems with the canopy and Albee Baby arranged for a new one. It took almost 2 months for Inglesina to send it to me and the new one is not perfect - a little crooked, but it is fine.
Both kids are so comfortable in it. It is narrow and fits through every door, so far!
The stroller is heavy but do-able. And I am only 5' tall. I am so happy that we got this stroller instead of a lighter-weight, plastic-y one. I know it will hold up well.
I highly recommend it!

Cons:
No snack tray or cup holder

I got my 2005 Twin Swift for $188.99 (from Albeebaby.com). A free rainshield was included. I love it! I have a 2 year old and a 5 month old, and this stroller is a dream. It doesn't pull to the side the 2 year old's on, the baby almost always falls right to sleep in it, and the individual reclines are great. I love how the upright setting is actually upright, and the reclined setting, while not fully reclined, is flat enough for a sleeping infant's comfort. The middle setting works well to keep the 2 year old from picking on the baby.The storage baskets (one per seat) are smallish, but there's room for my purse and sweater in one, and diapering supplies for both kids in the other, plus a small bag. It fits nicely through doors (as long I don't attempt to enter at a dramatic angle), and pushes easily. At first glance, it does seem like it might be a little flimsy, but its performance has indicated it is anything but.I use this stroller for everything. Trips to the mall, museums, and zoo are so much easier with this stroller. It also handles nicely on walks around the neighborhood. Not all of the neighborhoods have sidewalks, so we use it on the street a lot. It is a bit hefty when folded to lift into the back of my SUV, but the handling when unfolded more than makes up for it.I do miss having a cup holder and a snack tray, but I haven't gotten around to finding one, and frankly, I don't miss them enough to do something about it.Unlike the MacLaren side-by-side doubles, this stroller has a center handle (the side handles are set on angles, the center handle is straight). The center handle and the price clinched this stroller for me. I've used that handle more times than I can count, and it does allow for a modest amount of one-hand steering.I definitely recommend it.

Pros:
Narrow Stroller, Compact Fold
Cons:
Hard To Unfold, Canopy pops Off, Heavy
|
|
I have been using this for a 2 yr old and 5 month old. It fits through all doorways so far. It fits in the trunk and leaves lots of room. It does take some effort to fold and unfold. The Canopy pops off at the drop of the hat. It is a pretty heavy stroller but seems sturdy. It is not the smoothest ride out there. I paid 199.99 at BabyUniverse. Overall, not a bad stroller, would have been better for twins.
