What the Fuss? Kinderwagen

We lived in the city for all of Leighton's first year and the Bugaboo Cameleon got us everywhere we needed to be. We didn't use the car much, but the stroller went out with us every day.

I love the Bug. The bassinet is fantastically roomy and I could just pick up and put down my little babe with ease. It turns on a dime, has decent room in the under seat pouch, and has the perfect handle for hanging a bag.

SIGH.

Once Mairin came, I avoided all stroller discussion that culminated in procuring a dually. The last thing I wanted was a Bob or other dual jogger monstrosity. That's so NOT me. I basically wanted a new Bugaboo with a side by side bassinet and toddler seat. Alas, this does not exist.

Or does it?

We bought the Easywalker Duo (EW Duo) at Zulily a few months ago. And we love it for many of the reasons we love the Bug. We were on the fence between silver and red and ultimately chose red because we clearly like to draw attention to ourselves.

The EW Duo has the side by side toddler seat and bassinet (which converts into another toddler seat, or can be used with two bassinets or carseats).

  

Like the Bugaboo: The EW Duo has a ton of room for stuff, it turns on a dime, and it fits through all standard doorways.

Better than the Bugaboo: The EW Duo has loads of pockets and a cleverly designed shade flap that hangs down, tucks up or covers over the bassinet so nobody gets sun in her eyes. And, unlike the Bug, the bassinet pops off and the whole thing folds down with ease.

  
Pricing starts at $599 for the base. The bassinet and carseat adapter are sold separately. We paid $680 for everything on Zulily in April, but now that I have it, use it and love it, it's worth the full price of admission.

Perfect for the city, suburbs or anywhere in between. The Easywalker Duo is one sweet ride.

Funny, since I've been reading your blog, I was curious as to which double you'd go with. As my kids are 18 months apart I needed a similar contraption. I ended up with the Bumbleride indie twin, which (except for the bassinet) looks very similar to your easy walker. I spent a similar and absurd amount of money, and yet I agree that a good double stroller is worth every penny!
