Pretty good pram – I bought the pram second hand, but only used for 6 months, recently. The pram has been good, light and easy to fold and put in the car. No issues with manouvaring. And over good pram. The front tray has been great for my older daughter and the storage underneath is large. The issues im having are: There is no proper foot rests for both seats,… Read more

especially the front.

The front back support is too short. My daughter can't even rest her head when she's tired.

It's really hard to get things in and out of the storage basket underneath

Overall, it's a pretty good pram but those things bring it down alot for me.

Lasted 1 week – Brought and used daily for school commute. Doesn't steer around even the basic corners and the back wheels snapped off continually. Do not recommend. Show details

I sold it and bought a different pram – This pram was in good condition and nice and compact, easy to fold and put in the car. I liked how both children could see well even if in the seat behind. It was however shocking to maneuver around corners or even turn. So I sold it and bought another brand.

Good, cheap second pram – I bought this pram as a back-up when out with my toddler and new bub. It's nice and narrow and love that the toddler seat is at the front rather than back so my little girl could jump in and out easily. It's a bit hard to steer around corners but fine for what I needed and the price point.

Deserves a no star rating – I would suggest you spend the extra money! 1. The wheels have fallen off AND even worse will completely fold/almost snap off as you go over small edges in any walkway. (I'd love to upload photos but can't unfortunately) 2. Also, regarding manoeuvrability as you turn corners the wheels will fail causing them to completely fold inwards… Read more

again, causing the prams back wheels to lift as it suddenly stops.

3. Is it easy to manoeuvre? Absolutely not.

The build is terrible and I don't think you can get much worse. With my newborn in the backseat and my toddler of 12kg in the front, it's impossible to push with one hand, two hands an absolute mission and with the wheel problems it becomes very inconvenient. Getting around corners and through door ways can be an effort at times. Also, the basket is impossible to get to with ease. Overall, the pram is quite bulky, heavy and although the seats are quite spacious they seem to be on a downhill so the babies will slide down into the harness. Lastly, the shades aren't suitable either. I've had this pram for 6 weeks and can not wait for the replacement wheels to arrive so I can get rid of it.

Like I said, spend the extra couple hundred and get something decent. It's not worth the hassle, I'd hate for anyone else to waste there time with this pram.

Have a nice day!

It’s pretty good – I found it rather easy to maneuver. I wasn’t had to get onto public transport with. It was a little hard to fold up because one of the hoods wouldn’t fold with it. I’m happy with the way it is built. But I would have like for it to have better straps. I no longer use this, as I only need to push around 1 child.

Rear wheel falls off – I bought this pram from Big W on 10/02/2018. The instruction sheet is not really helpful when it comes to the fitting of rear wheels. I managed to assemble it and made sure I heard the click sound after fitting the rear wheels. On our first day out with my 3.5 year old and 5 month old, the rear wheel fell off. Its so dangerous and we some how… Read more

managed to get back home by keeping on pushing the wheel back.

It is bit hard to manoeuvre, with the elder kid sitting in the front. It moves to a side like the woolworth trolley and always need two hands to push.

I will give it few more days and if the wheels fall off often then I will return it.

Wheels fall off!! – Do not buy this pram!! I have a 8 month old & almost 2 yr old & My back wheels have fallen off numerous times!! Really inconvenient!! & you cannot steer this thing on a slight slant on a pathway!! Hate it!! Can't wait to buy another double pram from another company!!

Couldn't live without it – Purchased second hand but unused and proof of purchase from Feb 17. I have been using this pram for 6 months with a few minor grievances. The rear sun shade doesn't really do much to keep the sun out when fully reclined, and I haven't been able to find a storm cover that fits properly. Now that that's out of the way, let me tell you all the… Read more

things I love about this pram.

The recline on the back seat is fantastic! Super easy to use and can be adjusted to any position.

I can fold this pram with one hand and one foot! I can literally hold my younger child and fold the pram at the same time.

The basket is massive and so easy to access. The snaps and elastic mean you can fit almost anything in there.

The snack tray goes on and off easily (after you've pinched yourself a couple of times getting used to it) and my older child loves having it there. It means he's happier in the pram because he can use it for cars or a colouring book as well.

So easy to push and steer. I take this pram on the bus often and have no difficulty. The brakes hold strong when locked and the pram doesn't budge.

It is so much lighter than it looks. its awkward because of its size but not at all heavy.

Lastly, it fits in a normal sedan boot with a little bit of room left for shopping. My basic rule is, if it fits in the basket it will fit in the boot.

Highly recommend this pram to anyone expecting baby number 2 and parents who walk a lot. (This pram has seen more ks than my car in the last 6 months with hardly any wear and tear).

Great stroller – This is a really good stroller, especially for the price. It's best for a toddler and baby as the back seat fully reclines. Both kids can see because of the stadium seating, tray at the front, easy to get up curbs, big basket underneath, quite light for the size of it, I don't find I'm kicking the wheels as I'm walking like with our last pram,… Read more

reverses easily and is very easy to manoeuvre. I actually find the reviews saying that it's hard to manoeuvre strange, maybe they have the front wheels locked straight?

Cons: The front seat doesn't sit completely upright. The back hood sits against your hands, I got used to it but the latch for when it's folded can keep it off your hands. The space to get stuff in to the basket it quite narrow although the top of the basket can be unclipped to get stuff in that way.

Too hard to maneuvre – I had an old style of this and absolutely loved it. So when that died I got the newer one. However they've changed the seating to "stadium style" meaning you can't lie the front one down fully - so you can't put a sleeping bub in it anymore. Also it was incredibly difficult to maneuvre. I sent it back to get tested, they did some work on it… Read more

and it came back just as bad. I was incredibly sad because I loved the old Valco tandom so much. Nice and Slim Terrible handling, poor seating.

Overall Bad Design My kids hate it and so do I – I was given this pram secondhand as a fill in while I was saving for the one I wanted. My eldest who is only 19 months hates it with a passion, the seat is uncomfortable, doesn't recline well when she wants to rest and the seat belts are so thin that she has actually pulled her leg up and got out of it!!! The canopy's are useless my newborn is… Read more

never covered from the sun unless I sit him upright.. I have to tie a sheet over the whole pram to cover them when we walk quite ugly and they scream because they cant see where they are going.... So be prepared to pay through the teeth for an extra sun cover... I'm not sure how old my pram is but the bottom of the back seat is ripped along the frame, the material has faded and looks dirty no matter how much I clean it and the wheels feel heavy and hard to push. It is a narrow pram but the length makes it difficult to maneuver, I am always finding I have to reverse out of Isles instead of turning corners. I get my new pram in a few weeks and I will just end this review by saying that I wont be passing it on, I will be taking it to the tip. Only pro would be the large basket.

Sold it within 6 months – I found it terrible. My daughters were 20 months apart and I bought it before I had my second. I tried it out in the store and thought it was great. Seemed light-weight. Fast forward to when I had my second baby, and with the weight of the two kids plus nappy bag, it became almost impossible to maneuver. Very heavy and very bulky. Was a waste of money, I sold it after a handful of shocking outings. Bad maneuverability; heavy

Love this pram!!! – I love this pram. I have an almost 3 year old son & an 11 week old daughter and this pram is absolutely perfect for us. When I first put my son in the front of the pram I thought it felt heavy, but as soon as we got moving I didn't even notice his weight, in fact I find the pram too light when my son is not in it, it feels much more secure with… Read more ·  2

him in the front. We have been in a supermarket, shopped all over a big shopping centre (Chadstone), we've walked on the footpath and walked on uneven ground at our local parks - I do not have any problem at all pushing or steering this pram, I can easily push it one handed except when going up hill. The basket is huge underneath. As the tray can be removed on the front seat, it is so much easier to get my son into his seat, especially when he doesn't want to go home :). It is easy to collapse and is quite compact for a double pram. I did get this pram for a bargain price on eBay but now that I have it I would happily pay much more. The only thing I don't like is the width of the rear hood, it needs to be much wider to protect my daughter from sun but I just attach a thick baby wrap between both hoods. Extremely easy to manoeuvre, easy & compact collapse. Rear hood needs to be much wider.

OK – Pram would be better for 2 younger children as having my 2 yr old in the front makes it hard to steer. Overall I am happy with this pram as it does it’s job getting us from A to B in the shops. Narrow enough to fit in shopping aisles, large basket that the sides can be pulled down, easy to fold, children have own space, separate removable sun… Read more

shades for each child. Hard to manoeuvre on uneven surfaces and up slopes with the heavier child in front. Swivel wheels tend to do their own thing making it hard to steer. Front seat for heavier child does not lay back far enough. The back seat has to be adjusted with straps to change postions which can be a pain.

Good – Overall, a fantastic pram and very easy on the budget. It is an excellent pram for use on footpaths, shopping etc. It is not crash hot on roads or grass. I have used it for three years now and would definately recommend it. The front tray is also handy for kids to have snacks on etc. Compact for easy travelling especially for shopping. Easy to… Read more

fold and very compact.

Very easy to manouvre. The front swivel wheels work beautifully.

The back seat is spacious. Excellent if you have a newborn or for if you have a sleeping toddler.

Lots of room for stuff underneath. Very easy to access, just undo the button. The The back seat has to be adjusted with straps. Can be very ardous if you need to change it constantly e.g. for a sleeping baby and then to put it up in a sitting position when they wake up.

Hard to go over kerbs etc. Especially if the weight at the front is heavy.

Footrest comes off alot (have been using this pram now for 3 years.

We had to get it fixed after 11 months because the back wheel fell off.

Can't remove the upholstery to wash the pram (Too bad if kids vomit).

Bad – great for going around shopping malls with smooth floors otherwise i hate it. i am trying to sell mine at the moment. price, large shopping basket a nightmare going up kerbs or uneven surfaces/slopes when the older/heavier child is in the front, front wheel keeps coming off, you need to tighten 2 straps to adjust back seat

OK – like other reviews have stated the pram isnt really good going up kerbs as i found it made my children bounce quite a bit. other than that its a good pram its easy to steer and great for shopping trips as it has a good amount of storage space in the basket its also easy to get in and out of the car. great to take the children shopping in, good size basket, easy to fold. bad on uneven foot paths and going up kerbs

Good – I purchased this pram over the Phil and Teds as my daughter was only 12mths old when my son came along so i found they could both lay down, as she wasn't really a toddler and didn't like sitting up all the time. This pram is fantastic when childrn are younger eg: baby and toddler. My children are only 1 year appart and up until now (2yr and 1yr)… Read more

they are both approx 12kg trying to push the pram on uneven surfaces is very difficult.

I love the storage basket and find it very easy to fold and unfold, it is not very heavy and once folded it was only a fraction longer than my steelcraft enigma. narrow enough in shops, large basket, easy to fold, fits well in car, children have own space, seperate sun shades for each child. hard to push on uneven surface with two heavy children (combined weight 25kg)

Good – Overall I am very happy with my choice of pram and I understand you can't have everything in one pram and this one ticks most of the boxes for me. It is also very lightweight for how big it is and folds up very easily (once you get the knack!). It has also made a useful travel bed for my newborn (who spends the most time in it). When my eldest… Read more

isn't with me and I am shopping the front seat makes a handy shopping basket!

I have recommended this pram to friends who have also been happy with it. Great pram - fits both children though at 2yo the eldest only just fits the front. Great for shopping as it goes straight through the aisles and check outs. Really functional way of transporting 2 children with a fair bit of room for groceries underneath. Two sun shades are a must as well. Not great if you are on an uneven/sloping surface such as a road (in some places we have no paths). Getting up and down the kirb can be hard with both children as the heaviest is at the front so you have to push hard to lift the front up. No drink holder/utility shelf - I had that on my last pram and found it very useful.

Good – this pram dismanttles so easy and is quite lightweight also.both seats are very comfy for both children.ive found it to be worth the amount i paid for it,been using this pram for 2 yrs now and its always been great to use. this pram ive found to be quite good for both me and my children.my 2 children are quite different in size and rather than the… Read more

side by pram i use this one and i feel no extra gain on the one side.it has a tray and cup holder for your toddler in front.and both of the chairs can lay back,keeping both the toddler and baby happy.the hood can come off as does tray which makes it easy to dismantel for buses/cars etc.the basket underneath can fit a fair amount of stuff underneath. as much as you can fit alot of things under this pram there isnt a very wide gap for you to get things thru.ive found i cant fit anything bublky but if i separate my grocies i can,a little frustrating.

Bad – Pram would be good for twins but definately not good for one older child and a baby. My children were 19 month and 7 months and I struggled on uneven surfaces. Great for both babies having individual space. Hard to get up and down gutters with a heavier child in front. If on a uneven footpath, and you have a heavy baby in front, the pram seems… Read more

to want to steer down hill and you struggle against the slope to keep pram going in the direction you want. Front foot rest falls off all the time.
