SilverCross Strollers

Buying a twin stroller can be an expensive proposition. Do you really need to spend $300, $400, or even $500 to get a quality twin stroller? The answer depends on your circumstances. If you are the mother of twin babies, paying a little extra for a twin stroller that will last may be worthwhile. If you have a toddler and an infant, a twin stroller is probably just a transitional solution until your older child starts walking, so buying an expensive twin stroller is impractical. Either way, you shouldn’t need to take out a loan just to buy a stroller. Consider the following budget-conscious models when choosing a twin stroller for your family.

Graco Family Tree Duo Stroller
Graco has been a top name in strollers in America for generations. The slogan, “Moms who know trust Graco” is not an exaggeration. The Family Tree Duo twin stroller is an extraordinary value at just over $100 and is available at sites like Target.com. The Graco Family Tree Duo has recline seats, individual sun hoods, child snack trays, parent organizer, and the easy maneuverability Graco is famous for. The Family Tree Duo twin stroller is tandem style, making it easy to get through narrow doorways and aisles. However, tandem twin strollers aren’t for everyone. Some moms find tandem twin strollers difficult to steer and don’t like having limited access to the child in the rear seat.

Chico C5 Twin Stroller
Coming in at around $190, the Chico C5 side-by-side twin stroller is pricier than the Graco Family Tree Duo, but it also has more features. The Chico C5 Twin Stroller is a good choice for parents with babies of different ages because each seat has independent recline, leg adjustment, and sun canopy, making it easy to accommodate both your children comfortable. The Chico C5 also has padded seats and comfort safety harnesses, ensuring that your babies feel at ease in this twin stroller. The Chico twin stroller has sporty styling for the parent who wants to look cool pushing around two kids. Weighing in at 29lbs, the Chico C5 Twin Stroller is a little on the heavy side, and, unfortunately this twin stroller is only suitable for children over 6 months, making it an impractical choice for families with infants.

2005 Maclaren Rally Twin Baby Stroller
Maclaren is a popular brand in Europe where it is appreciated for its sleek design and mod fabrics. The latest model Maclaren twin stroller will cost you over $250, but a 2005 model will only run you about $130, and honestly, who cares what year your stroller was designed. The Maclaren Rally Twin Baby Stroller has all the standard features in addition to wide, comfy seats and compact umbrella fold. In all honesty, you don’t buy a Maclaren twin stroller for its amazing features; you buy it because it looks cool. So, if you are a style-conscious sort of person, the Maclaren may be right for you.

2007 Combi Twin Sport 2 Double Stroller
If you can find it on sale, the 2007 Combi Twin Sport 2 Double Stroller can cost as little as $187. Combi makes sensible, lightweight twin strollers that are easy to fold, carry, and push. The Combi Twin Sport 2 looks modern and fresh and comes with some nice extras including individual foot muffs and removable, washable seat covers. This twin stroller weighs only 21lbs and is designed to be ultra portable without sacrificing any of the features of a standard twin stroller. While the Combi Twin Sport 2 does take a matching combi car seat, it can only handle one at a time. Some parents say the Combi twin stroller’s shopping baskets are essentially useless, and moms miss having snack trays for their kids.
