Chicco Echo Twin Stroller Coal - Black

Product Information

Chicco is a renowned brand known for its wide range of strollers that combine style and functionality. Whether you are a new parent or an experienced one, Chicco strollers are designed to meet your every need. With their user-friendly features and high-quality craftsmanship, these strollers make parenting a breeze. We tasked busy mum-of-two Liz with putting the double buggies through their paces. At Mumsnet, we believe like-for-like comparisons are the fairest and most consistent way to test products because each one is tested by the same person in the same scenarios for at least a week. To ensure the products were safe, Gemma chatted to Philip LeShirley, Product Safety Advisor at The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA), who advised what to look for when purchasing a pram to ensure it’s safe to use.

Chicco’s Echo Twin Stroller is the double version of the popular Echo and, although basic, there’s a lot to like about it.The buggy can be used from birth with a carrycot, however it’s not suitable for twins until six months. You also have to pay extra for a carrycot and rain cover. When it comes to assembly, the Echo Twin is pretty much ready to go straight from the box. The seats are already attached to the frame so all you'll need to do is attach the wheels and two hoods to the frame and adjust the straps. It took our tester less than 10 minutes to assemble. What’s in the box? The seats: look at how spacious and supportive they are. Seats that can be independently reclined will suit the individual needs of both children. Separate hoods are also handy – look at how much coverage they give and whether they have UPF protection. Age range: Newborn (with carrycot) to 4 years | Maximum load: 45kg (22kg on each seat) across two seats | Product weight: 15.5kg | Dimensions: 87 × 76.5 × 41cm (folded); 104.5 × 80 × 102cm (unfolded) | Travel system-compatible: Yes | Orientation: Side by side What we love

Assembly: we noted what was in the box and whether all the basics were included. We looked at the instructions and how easy the pram was to assemble. The Chicco Echo Twin Stroller has two individual baskets that sit under each seat. Unfortunately, this makes them quite small – holding up to 2.3kg each – so aren’t adequate enough to fit bulky items. While it’s safe to use from birth, we don’t feel the seats recline flat enough to give adequate support for newborns, so we’d recommend this buggy from six months plus. Unfortunately, you can’t attach a carrycot and it’s not travel system-compatible, but we love the fuss-free design that’s ideal for busy, budget-conscious families. When juice was spilled on the seat material during testing, it didn’t hold the liquid on the surface as well as some of the more premium prams we tested. The liquid wiped away without leaving a stain, but the seat ended up wet. With six sets of wheels, the Chicco Echo Twin Stroller has double that of the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double.Previously awarded our best overall double buggy award, the Out n About Nipper Double V4 is a side-by-side three-wheel model for twins or siblings of different ages. Its simple design means that the Chicco Echo Twin Stroller is unlikely to turn heads. It’s not as stylish as the likes of the iCandy Peach 6 or the Mountain Buggy Duet V3.2, but that’s to be expected considering its price tag. The dark fabric is robust though and doesn’t stain easily and, while the seat covers aren’t removable, they can be wiped with a damp cloth and mild soap. During testing, mud cleaned off the frame without much effort and the wheels cleaned up well with warm water and detergent. What’s the Echo Twin like to look at? Gemma ended up with a list of almost 30 products which she whittled down to 13 to put to the test, covering a range of needs, lifestyles, brands and budgets. Of course, while there are countless options on the market when it comes to strollers, and even double umbrella strollers, everyone is looking for something different. To help you decide if this model is the one you’ve been scouring the internet for, we’ve compiled everything about it that you need to know in this Chicco Cortina Together Double Stroller review.
