Jane Powertwin *Update: Got Mine!*

Anyone have one? What's your opinion? Is it worth the money? I don't mind the price if it's a good stroller.

 

I looked quickly online since I've never heard of this stroller. It looks really nice. I'm curious as to what others have to say. I feel the same about the cost of the stroller. I could see buying a somewhat expensive stroller if it meets your needs. I'm still looking for a stroller and the must have is a cup holder for adults. Very few "nice" double strollers have this feature. This makes no sense to me. I know you can buy a separate cup-holder attachment, but was hoping to have one included in the product.

 

I don't have one but know many moms of twins that do and who love it (I have a mt. buggy). Very easy pushing, gets in everywhere, wheels are great for urban environment. Don't think it's a great car stroller though, so if you're in and out of your car a lot it might not be great for you.

 

I lust after the Powertwin . We didn't buy one yet it doesn't work with US carseats (I actually started thinking about ways to get the British carseats shipped here, but then gave up). But I'm thinking we might end up getting one. It handles VERY nicely and folds well (although because it has inflatable wheels it is a bit more bulky than our Duoglider). I thought of it with a bit of longing the other day while struggling to steer the Duoglider with one hand.

 

I did it. I ordered my powertwin. I just closed my eyes and clicked 'Order'
It was a scary purchase mostly because I'm afraid I won't like it, but it looks like the best option for me. I'll let everyone know what I think when it arrives.

 

So I ordered my Powertwin a while back from letsgostrolling.com. It took a while to come, there was a mixup in shipping and I got a single Rockstar Baby stroller by accident. Oops!
Anyway, their customer service was great and in less than a week the rockstar was picked up and my Powertwin was delivered. I finally got to use it a few times over the past couple of weeks since we had a few nice days.
This thing is like an SUV, it can roll over anything. Our streets are very cracked and the babies hardly feel the bumps at all. I've also gone 'off-road' with it and it pushes really easily over muddy grass. So far I've only used it for walks around the neighborhood as it's pretty big. Although, it fits in the back of my Prius if I take the rear wheels off which is not a big deal, they pop right off and back on again. I'm still using my snap 'n go for shopping because the basket on the powertwin is really small. I was planning on getting something more lightweight for shopping anyway, so no big deal. Also, there's no parent console. I got a torino carry-you and it works well.
The only problem I've had is with the front footrest. The little latch that secures it keeps loosening, I'm going to contact the company to make sure I'm not doing something wrong. All in all I really like it, it's very well made and is a great stroller if you want an all-terrain tandem stroller. I may use it for shopping after I get a bigger car (we just put a deposit on a minivan) since the only real problem I have with it for shopping is having to take the wheels off to fit it in my car.

 

Do you feel like the seats are too close together? I went to look at one and it seemed like they were on top of eachother! Thanks, Jenn
