Folded: L106cm x W50cm x H33cm
Handle height: 106cm
Weight: 13kg

ASSEMBLY: The main chassis and wheels of the pushchair come already assembled (even the shopping baskets are attached), so there is little to do other than to attach the hoods, which simply clip via brackets to the handle tubes, and also feed the harness straps through the precut slots in the two footmuffs and headhuggers (if required). Velcro straps at the top of the footmuff fasten to the back of each pushchair seat. The accompanying instructions that come with the pushchair are very clear and detailed, with helpful diagrams included.

GOOD POINTS: The You2 is a wonderful double pushchair from Cosatto that is ideal for parents with more than one child to transport around, whether twins or siblings of different ages. The pushchair is stylish and modern looking, with the classic side-Cosatto You2 Twin Pushchairby-side seat design that enables your children to fully interact with the environment, as well as each other, as they travel.

The You2 is available in a fabulous choice of subtle and bright colour mix designs (many with animal themes) to suit any combination of genders, including for example the 'Little Tweeters' powder pink design for all girls, the green 'Snap' design for all boys, and the 'Polka Dogs' split orange and turquoise design or the 'Bro & Sis' split blue and red design for one of each. The 'Owl and Pussycat' is the newest You2 design to be added to the range (and the one we reviewed!), with a lovely turquoise and yellow nursery rhyme design that continues around the back of the pushchair as well as on the front.

With its sturdy aluminium frame, the pushchair is very manageable for busy parents to use as an every-day stroller, even despite its double size. It comes ready assembled (unlike many pushchairs and prams), and its umbrella folding design makes it sufficiently compact for stowing in homes, garages and car boots. Automatic folding locks (or auto locks as they are referred to) on either side of the pushchair ensure it stays securely closed once folded, and releasing these locks allows easy opening of the stroller, using the rubber pegs on the back of the seats to 'click' the pushchair in its unfolded position!

The You2 Twin Pushchair is designed for use with babies from birth upwards, and the backrest on each of the seats can be reclined (independently of each other) to several positions, including a lay-flat position for newborns and nap times. The seats are covered in a durable sponge-clean fabric, and each has a secure five-point harness with adjustable waist and crotch straps to suit your child's size and age. The shoulder straps can be repositioned to three heights to cater for your children as they grow, and come complete with removable 'Cosatto' branded chest pads to provide maximum comfort. An adjustable calf support on each of the seats can be raised and lowered as required for young and/or sleeping babies, and a sturdy footrest provides support for older children.Cosatto You2 Twin Pushchair

The You2 comes with two incredibly soft and comfortable fleece-lined (washable) footmuffs to keep your children snug in cold weather, and each has a unique kangaroo pouch on the front, into which your child can slip their hands to keep them warm. In addition, simple but effective little Velcro straps which attach the top of the footmuff to the pushchair seat usefully stop the footmuff slipping down. The detailing on the front of the footmuffs is wonderful, each with its own fun nursery rhyme related motif (i.e. the 'owl' on one and the 'pussycat' on the other) and matching colour interior. Furthermore, the front of the footmuff zips off completely, and the seat liner can be reversed to reveal a lighter and cooler patterned lining for your child to sit on in warmer weather. The stroller also includes two removable matching fleece head huggers to provide additional head support for very young babies.

Each pushchair seat comes with a concertina-style fold-down canopy (with matching 'owl and pussycat' detail on the exterior and a patterned interior lining) which provides some shade from the sun, and a window on the back allows parents to view each child while travelling with minimal disturbance. The hoods can be removed completely if required. A large raincover is also included which is easy to use and is plenty big enough to cover both front and back of the pushchair, fastening to the frame via Velcro tabs.

Cosatto You2 Twin PushchairThe stroller has not two but three handles to aid pushing and steering, all with foam padding to provide a comfortable and firm grip. A deep mesh shopping basket is located under each of the main seats to hold plenty of shopping or baby essentials, and two draw-string insulated bottle warmers (with the usual excellent attention to detail) attach via Velcro straps to each side of the pushchair frame for convenient storage of baby bottles (great for keeping milk warm or juices cool).

The You2 Twin Pushchair is easy to steer thanks to its soft suspension and front swivel wheels which can also be locked to provide a smoother transit over rough and uneven surfaces. Its compact width makes it far easier for manoeuvring through doorways than other double pushchairs, without compromising the seating space for your child. The rear outer wheels both have brake pedals, either of which can be used quickly and easily to operate the brake by pressing down to engage, or pulling up to release.

In our opinion, this is a fantastically striking and extremely convenient stroller, which is relatively compact and comes with some wonderful accessories and features to make it a great choice for transporting your double trouble!

BAD POINTS: This is quite an expensive stroller. The handles are not height adjustable. The seat covers cannot be removed for cleaning. The pushchair does not have a carry handle.

PRICE: Approx. £250
