mamas and papas ARIA twin pushchair

Does any one own or use this pushchair?

I've just got the 50/50 twin for free of freecycle - bonus! - but I am trying to work out if I can get a carry cot for it or if it s really suitable for a newborn.

My LO's will be 14 months apart and if possible I would like to use it from Bun's birth and not have to wait until bun is big enough fo the seatbelt/harness.

Anyone who has this buggy advice would be appreciated xx

We have this!!! its a great double IMO but we only use it when OH's LO comes to stay.Wish we used it more!!! It is suitable from birth I think as it can lie pretty much flat. we used it from about 2 months as we couldn't decide whether to get one or not. Its a little firm so you'd need a cosy toes/foot muff for a newborn to pad it out a bit. i'd definately be pleased to get it for free!

Cheers for the rely.

I wasn't sure if it was suitable from birth as it doesn't lie flat completely but it does have quite a deep recline to it. I thought I may try it when we have bun and see how it looks. I will probably only use it for the two of them once Bun is a few months old anyway.

I've got a wallaboo car seat muff that would fit in it perfectly, rather cosy!

We have it too and love it. Is light and really well sorted with measurements. Can be a bit difficult to put up and down until you get used to it. Used it for my youngest from birth.

Yeah there was a few minutes of kicking it before I worked out how to unfold it! 2nd hand stuff doesn't have a manual!

I think I shall have to try it when we have bun here with us. I can always use my single buggy for Wyn while bun is in the baby carrier - but I suppose that puts him more upright than the buggy would
