Chicco Trevi Twin Reviews?

[pokeysmom]

I have a 22 month old and am expecting an infant any day. I decided to invest in a BOB Duallie as my main stroller, but I do think there are situations where the BOB will be just too big (i.e. occasional mall trips, airport travel, etc.). As I was buying the BOB, I noticed that the store had a floor model of a Chicco Trevi Twin umbrella stroller on sale. I had not heard or seen of this but it was on sale for $100 as is (a few very minor imperfections from being a floor model) so I decided to pick it up. Compared to the Mac double it seemed good and a much better deal. When I got home, I researched and found that the Trevi Twin has been discontinued. Anyone have any experience with this stroller? Seeing as I already bought it, hoping it was a decent choice for occasional use and for grandparents' car, etc. Thanks!

I had one with my twins a few years ago (they were about 15 months, had it until around 20 months). Generally, double umbrellas don't push all that well, but comparatively, this one wasn't bad at all! I actually liked it better than my mac...I HATED the twin techno. This one was tolerable but nothing compared to the bob (I had that too). I will admit that I got to the point as they got bigger that I would haul the Bob in and out of the car because the push was that much better. But for an umbrella double, it wasn't bad!

Thanks! (I'm the OP under diff login). I know almost nothing pushes as well as the BOB, but wanted to have the more compact backup. Glad you had a pretty good experience with it! I was a little skeptical because it seems like it was discontinued over a year ago and the floor model was still hanging around, but I've tried it out with my toddler and I think it will serve it's purpose. Now just to make room in the garage for the Duallie!!
