Mom’s final verdict…

This umbrella stroller is a good choice for twins or two children of different age who like to sit side-by-side. It is suitable for frequent travel moms and dads and it is great for everyday use. In case you want to get a durable, modern stroller with good handling and built quality than the Twin Triumph should be your first choice. We say it is a winning investment for all busy young parents who are constantly on the go. This model is slightly lighter than the Techno; however, it does not come with as a lot of luxuries as the Techno, such as head huggers, front wheel suspension, comfort packs and boot-covers. Nonetheless, it’s a good, everyday stroller that is not as big as a traditional, full-size stroller, however offers the comfort and durability found on bigger heavier luxury double umbrella strollers.
