The pushchair has the option of a forward facing seat unit or carrycot on both sides meaning it is suitable from newborn onwards. The carrycot is sturdy, spacious and comes with a mosquito net and a mattress cover which is very well thought out. It is easy to put on and takeoff the pushchair, so I get Archie all ready in there before we go out and simply clip it in when the buggy is set up.
The seat unit has several recline positions and is lovely and spacious even with my chunky nineteen month old. This is very important for me as we are out a lot and I see Dylan needing a buggy for quite some time so I require one that accommodates him comfortably and that he can nap in. The seats are only forward facing, but they have a large panel in the top that can be pulled back to reveal a clear plastic peep hole and Dylan and I love playing peekaboo through it. It can be clipped back too if you want to keep an eye on them. The hood is a good size, and has an extra sun shield that can be pulled down at the front as well (which Dylan loves to play with) . Although it doesn't have clips to hold it in place at the side, I almost got blown over by the wind today, and the hoods held out fine so it really isn't necessary!
I did have a few problems with the front wheels at the beginning as they kept locking but it didn't take long to work it out. It is much harder to push when the front wheels don't swivel, so make sure you have them in right!
There are two baskets - both nice and large and they have two sips at the front to extend them. I have the pink lining twins bag and it comfortable fits under one side with the zips down and was nice and easy to get in and out. The rain cover is quite rigid and does take up a lot of space underneath but is very sturdy and spacious when in use and we have been using it quite a lot with the current weather! There is a different raincover for when using two seats or one seat and one carrycot/carseat. There is also a lovely handy pocket on the carrycot which I have been keeping a spare muslin in (you never know when you are going to need one!) and this is one of my favourite features of the pushchair.

Overall I am very impressed with the Easywalker Duo. It did take me a few trips to get used to it's size and steer but I feel like my boys are safe and secure in there and they seem incredibly comfortable! In an ideal world I would be able to have the boys facing me, but to have a pushchair that does this you would lose it's ability to fold in one piece. I think the Easywalker Duo is worth the money as it feels like a pushchair built to last and the tyres make it suitable for all terrains.

It is a funky buggy! x
DeleteEvening, I can spot your baby in the buggy. How gorgeous, congratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the colour of the buggy by the way! :) x
Thanks, we love bright buggies too x
DeleteI love it! I'm not usually a fan of the side by side ones because of the bulk but must admit I hate the stacking ones as the kiddies look so uncomfortable. Can't wait until we have to make these decisions x
ReplyDeleteI thought I would prefer the one infront doubles but I can't get them up a curb! Side by side is so much nicer to push and they do have much more space and a better view x
Deleteinteresting, doubles have come on along way compared to a few years ago
ReplyDeleteGreat review ... Much prefer side to side so I can keep an eye on both of them at once
