The Peg Perego Aria Twin was a stroller I coveted as we went out and about with our children. So sleek, so handy, so easy to maneuver - at least from a spectator’s point of view. The seats recline independently and I can attest that that this is really a sweet feature. You can lay [...]

It is one year later and [...]
