Pictures of children on the Twin Techno
A ReviewMaclaren’s Twin Techno is the best double stroller of all time……
and I’m so totally serious!
I’ve reviewed a few double strollers in the past; non-joggers include the Joovy Caboose tandem, Baby Planet Unity and phil&teds Sport with double kit.
I feel like I have a little double-stroller experience under my belt and have quickly learned what features are important to me in a double stroller: compact fold, reclining seats, fairly large canopies, easy-access basket space, easily adjusted straps, a drink holder or two, easy maneuverability, and most importantly the ability to fit in the back of my ol’ school Honda Odyssey.
Maclaren’s Twin Techno stroller stole my heart when all I had to do was turn it vertically with the handles down to fit perfectly in my small trunk space.
It stood only about 18″ wide and freed up the rest of my trunk for two black travel suitcases and an overnight bag.
The Caboose fit laying on its side only if I removed the canopy; the Unity only if I collapsed the car’s backseat before putting it in; the phil&teds required removal of the tires.
If it weren’t for the Twin Techno all five of us would’ve had to share one black suitcase for our week-long trip to Disneyland!
Okay, enough about its amazing space-saving capabilities.
Let me tell you what else the Twin Techno has to offer. Height-adjustable 5-point harnesses (you can cover these in 8 different “comfort pack” options)Removable/washable seats
Front-wheel suspension
Independent 5-point recline (it’s a little tricky to recline but once you figure it out it’s easy as pie)
Independent and water-resistant canopies with UV-protective windows and sun visors plus pockets on the back for added storage (loved the window but we did have to cover it now and then with a small blanket when the sun was overhead; pockets were perfect for camera, cell phones, and extra snacks)
xox
Extendable leg rests (used this all the time so our littlest once could sleep comfortably)
High-performance aluminum frame (a.k.a. the ability to hold a diaper bag, beach bag and Disney bags without tipping…see photo) Lightweight (at only 25 pounds this stroller is competitive with others on the market)
Compact umbrella fold (already covered this one; note: the more you use it the easier it gets to open)
Double mesh shopping baskets (easy to get to and good sized)
Removable cup holders
Carry handle (loved this feature)
5-second, one-hand fold (um, not sure I could have folded it this quickly with one hand but perhaps with two)
xox
Ergonomical foam insulated handles (my hands never felt tired even when pushing the kids from Disneyland to California Adventure, back to Disneyland, and then off to Downtown Disney)Lockable, front swivel wheels (didn’t review this feature as I totally forgot about it! LOL)Reflective accents for safety at night (these give off a nice glow during the Electric Parade)Maclaren’s already too cool Twin Techno fits through a standard door (and an amusement park’s stroller entrance) and is suitable from birth up to a total of 110 lbs.
I absolutely LOVE this stroller!
If it can fit in my van, still allowing us to pack a clean change of underwear, and survive a 3-day park hopper pass to Disneyland and California Adventure, it deserves all the love I can give it! –Emily
