RE: Double Stroller: Peg Perego vs. Sit and Stand
I currently have a Peg Perego double in my garage that a friend has asked me to eBay for her. Since I have it, I've played with it to see what's so great about Peg Perego strollers.
Frankly, I'm not impressed! LOL I just recently got rid of my Graco DuoGlider and I MUCH preferred it to the PP!
For one thing, the DG has TONS of legroom for the child in the backseat. The backseat sits far enough back from the front that the front seat isn't always getting kicked by the kid in the back or having their hair pulled. This is not a feature of the PP. It's seats are crammed together, which also makes it hard to get a kid in and out of the backseat.
The bar on the front of the PP is attached. So if your toddler stiffens and doesn't want to get out, it's going to be a challenge to get him out. The bar on the front of the DG swings open. I found it very handy to open it, buckle or unbuckle the child and then snap it closed again.
The PP gets points for more padding than my bare bones DG had. But you can buy more plush DG. But from what I've seen, PP only come in navy or black. Those are both great colors for showing sippy cup milk leaks, ground in mushy crackers and fading.
The DG is a bulky stroller and quite heavy. In moving around the PP, I haven't noticed that it's any lighter. The DG has bigger wheels, but I've found it easy to drive and manuver. The PP has smaller wheels. The DG also has a HUGE storage basket. The one on the PP didn't make an impression on me, I can't remember what it has.
So, overall, I'd go for the DuoGlider over the Peg Perego Travel Tender. I was not impressed and I'm not so into name brands that I'd spend an additional $200 for 'peg perego' on my stroller. LOL
HTH....
