Customer Reviews of Black Sable Aria MT Twin Stroller

I wanted to love this....
After a year of hauling my huge tandem stroller in and out of the trunk of my baby SUV, I finally decided to spend the big bucks and purchase this stroller for my toddler twin boys. We were getting ready to go on two back-to-back long-distance trips and I wanted a stroller that would fit in the car and still leave room for our luggage. The Aria Twin fit the bill, but we ran into many other problems along the way. <
> <
>1 - The first issue we had was that it was harder to steer than it had seemed in the store. I had tried it out with the boys in it and had thought it was fine, but after using it just a little bit more, I realized that the front wheels do not swivel very well at all. This was an annoyance the whole trip but became a near-crisis when we were out one day and the rubber tire came off one of the wheels while I tried to turn it (and I was on a smooth surface, at the mall, not on rough terrain). If I had not had someone else with me, there would've been no way I could've gotten the tire back on by myself. Even with help, it was a big struggle. If we had not finally gotten it back on, I don't know how I would've gotten out of the mall (neither of the boys were walking yet and there's no way I could've carried both of them, nevermind the stroller too!). <

>2 - The second problem we encountered became a huge aggravation. Something was wrong with the latching mechanism that was supposed to hold the snack trays in place. It would not lock the way it was supposed to, so the boys were able to repeatedly open and shut the trays, sometimes on each other's fingers. A few times I was able to force the thing to lock, only to discover that I couldn't get it back open without major difficulty. I could've taken the trays off, but one of the reasons I wanted this stroller was b/c of the snack trays. It's important to me to be able to give the boys snacks that they don't have to hold onto. <
> <
>3 - The basket underneath dragged. Originally, I didn't think this was a big deal. Then, after a day at the zoo, the dragging on pavement started wearing a hole in the fabric. This was a problem partly b/c I didn't want a hole in a brand-new stroller, and partly b/c I didn't want anything to happen that would compromise the resale value. I did not put anything bulky or heavy in the basket that caused this to happen. There were two toddler baseball caps, two very lightweight toys, and a small board book in the basket. And still the thing dragged. <
> <
>4 - The plastic labels on the sides and front of the stroller began coming off. In addition to another compromise in resale value, this became a safety issue of small parts coming off the stroller. I had noticed that the word "Aria" had begun peeling off one of the sides; the next thing I knew, one of my sons had it in his mouth. <
> <
>5 - The sunshades began to warp slightly. <

>I just returned this stroller today, and I am very sad that it did not work out. I loved how it looked, how it folded up, how light it was. It was such a nice change from my tandem, and I really wanted it to be worth the money. I was very disappointed that something that cost so much seemed to be cheaply made in some crucial ways. <
> <
>I am now trying to decide between the Combi Twin Savvy and the Jeep side-by-side. I know there is no perfect double stroller, but there has got to be something better than this.

Great lightweight stroller.
I love this stroller for running errands. I use the stroller for a 15 month old and 4 month old and it's great for both. There is a tray for holding snacks for my older baby. The seat lies flat for the younger baby. The stroller is easy to open and fold. It is super lightweight. The cup holder is small but works well for limited uses. The basket is pretty good too. This is a great stroller for using on a daily basis. It steers great, even with one hand. I don't think it would be the best stroller for using some place like Disney World because the basket is somewhat flimsy and the sun shades are a little skimpy but for something that is easy to haul in & out of your car and running in and out of places it's a great stroller.

Great Resale Value Makes This Stroller Affordable
I have the Graco Duoglider and I just bought this for my mother-in-law since she has my 5 month and 17 month old girls while I am at work. I am so jealous and now I want one for myself. It is lightweight and pushes so much easier than the duoglider. Now that my youngest can sit upright this is a much better stroller for me. At first I was scared by the price and after trying to buy a used one on Ebay I finally decided to buy a new one because this stroller has a great resale value. They sell for over $200 used on Ebay which is the same investment as buying the Duoglider at over $150 which may not hold up enough for resell later.
