Love, love, love my Peg Aria double!!!

Just got it today for our 16 month old and newborn! And yes, my Graco carseat fits in it just fine!(unofficially) It is so maneuverable, I can steer it with one hand, even with the weight difference of the two babies. We initally had a tandem which I hated. This is way easier and has a great fold. We took it out tonight and it did great on the sidewalks (which are smooth) and folds so easily. It does not recline fully, but does to about 150 degrees which worked out fine.

I was also considering the Combi but could not see one IRL so I went for the Peg. The MBUD was a bit out of our price range, plus I wanted something lighter. I loved my P3 so I figured I'd get another one of the Peg strollers.

Just wanted to share....

Thanks for the post. Come the end of August I'll have a 17 month difference between my 2 boys. All my research on double strollers is driving me crazy.

Thanks again,
Mary

Thank you! Can you share a picture of your stroller with the snugride in it? I am looking for a SBS that takes a carseat and am pretty desperate. Do you have the 2005 model?

ETA: Where did you buy yours, and for how much?

Thanks,

I'll see if I can post some pics over the next few days. I am having some issues with my camera. Yes, it's the 2005 Aria Twin in Metallica. I paid $339 for it plus 10 dollars shipping from a local store in Orlando. It's not the greatest price, but I was caught off guard as #2 came early and needed a stroller ASAP. I ordered it and got it the next day.

It's not designed to take the carseat per se, but it does work if you lay it in there. It's snug and not going anywhere. I did the same thing with my P3 and the Graco Snugride, as I didn't want to shell out the cash for the Peg seat.

You can try some online retailers: Albeebaby.com, babycenter.com, babyuniverse.com, as I think they carry the Aria Twin. (I actually tried contacting Marilyn at a runningstroller.com, who also carries it, but frankly I can't see why so many people rave about her. I have tried to call her three times and left messages and never got a call back. To top it off, I even drove out to her store one day and there was a sign that said no one was there that afternoon. When I did finally reach her, she said she was out of all inventory and there were no floor models for me to even look at!!)

Sorry to ramble on, but I will try to get pics up in a few days!

Thanks! I drove to a local store to try it out. I couldn't fit the snugride in there, no way, it was too narrow. Maybe it was the 2004 version? do you happen to know if the 2005 is wider?

Sorry you had a bad experience. I do know that Home Depot in NY and NJ listed HER toll free number as their delivery service phone number. So she has been bombarded with screaming "Where's my refrigerator!" calls lately. It's printed on their paperwork, so I don't know how long it will take to get it straightened out.

Sorry it's taken me so long to respond. I am not sure if the 2005 is wider but I just tried to attach the 6 pics I took of the carseat/stroller and I can't get them to attach.

If you want I can e-mail them to you...Let me know so I can help you out. I am going to post and see if anyone else is having this problem with attaching pics today.
