The Peg Perego Duette SW is an inventive double stroller. The SW in the name is an abbreviation for ’steering wheel’. Yep, while most double strollers have the traditional push bar handle, this one has an actual steering wheel to keep you occupied. You may be pushing a couple kids in it, but at least you can have a little more fun while you’re rolling. The big reason for the steering wheel is that it is linked to the *front* wheels. So you can take much better control of the entire stroller movement when the front is leading the turns.

All the wheels on the Peg Perego have suspensions. And there are brakes on the back wheel which are controlled with a foot tap near the back right wheel. So you’re completely in control with this double stroller. And not only flexible with the braking options, but the seating options allow the owner to place the seats in two ways. One, the parallel front-back arrangement where both children face forward. And two, the seats can rearrange to face one another, so the kids can look at each other as a tandem stroller. It’s a very flexible setup and one that is fairly unique in the baby stroller marketplace. Many parents will really love this feature.

The seats not only come with a standard canopy, but it’s really a full sun visor that comes completely forward over both seats. This is ideal for shielding the riders from very windy days or excessive sunlight, or the beginning of sprinkles and light rain showers. This is a feature that many double strollers do not have, so it’s a bit of a luxury that frankly is often a necessity. It’s nice to know this is available in the Peg Perego.

The line of Peg Perego strollers are from Italy. Many parents have mentioned that the quality of construction in the Peg Perego line is a step up from other manufacturers. The parts are quite solid and feel like a whole unit rather than a variety of tidbits cobbled together. You do often get what you pay for. This is a more expensive double stroller but it also holds together well too. There are a couple other points also to consider that are discussed in this article.

Transporting the kids into the car is made quite simple, as Primo Viaggio SIP car seats can attach directly to the aluminum chassis of the stroller. The Duette SW itself has side handles. You will be able to take a firm grasp of the handles and put the stroller into the car. It folds up like a magazine – though it’s not as tight a fold as many single strollers. The weight is about thirty five pounds. It’s fairly heavy, but with the solid construction and as it’s a double stroller, it’s not expected to be the lightest stroller around either.

The steering wheel can also be height-adjusted to make it fit for different height stroller drivers. And with the very large under-seat carry basket, there’s lots of room to put the materials in for the babies or toddlers. Now if you are a person who likes to have the cup-holders in easy reach on your stroller, note that because of the steering wheel, there is no big tray or cup holder standard on this unit. For some parents, this will be a bigger deal than for others.

Peg Perego is known for a solid product. This Duette model has been popular for a number of years. And now with the steering wheel addition, Peg Perego is listening to the marketplace and offering added features and keeping the comforts for the young riders. So you can tell this is a well-thought out product. If you can live without a cup holder and toss the water bottle in the cargo basket underneath, everything else is covered in this baby stroller.
