Maclaren Double Stroller

The Maclaren brand introduced the first of foldable double stroller designs in the 1960s and has continued to innovate in its line of stroller designs.

The Twin Triumph Stroller is a double stroller that continues the spirit of innovation today. Although the stroller is of a side-by-side design, the Twin Triumph is relatively narrow in width and fits into all standard doorways. This overcomes one of the main difficulties in using a double stroller.

When folded, the Twin Triumph closes like an umbrella. This umbrella fold makes the stroller extremely compact and requires very little space for storage. It will fit the trunk of almost any vehicle that has one; in fact, it is smaller than even some single strollers when folded. It also comes with a carry strap for carrying around easily when folded. However, folding causes the canopy to rest against the stroller's wheels when folded. This dirties the canopy unless you remove the canopy each time before you fold the double stroller. But that is quite a bit of a hassle and most people would rather leave the canopy on.

Unfolding the double stroller can also be a challenge and it takes someone to jump on its lever for the stroller to snap to lock position. But this also means that having the double stroller snap close accidentally while your child is in it is unlikely to happen at all.

The double stroller is made of high performance aluminium frame; this keeps the double stroller lightweight but very durable. It holds up to 30 kg or 2 children each 15 kg. The double stroller is well-designed for stability and works well even if only one of the seat us occupied. Needless to say, two children of very different weight is not a problem when handling the double stroller.

Each double stroller seat comes with a five-point harness that holds your child securely to the double stroller. The straps of the harnesses are all adjustable with multiple independent positions to fit the height of your children as they grow. However the shoulder straps come with little padding and they can rub against the neck and shoulders of your child, causing discomfort and even rashes.

The double stroller comes with lockable front swivel wheels that hold it in place. It also comes with a sun shield that offers good shade from the top but does not cover your child fully from low angle sunshine. Additional protection such as a parasol accessory may be needed for better sun protection.

The Twin Triumph stroller from Maclaren is a lightweight, compact and portable stroller. Its umbrella fold design makes it ideal for storage. It is ergonomically designed for easy handling and is ideal for parents looking to use it together with children of different ages since it accommodates different weights very well. Although slightly on the pricey end, the Maclaren double stroller is an ingenious stroller that will well worth your money.
