Jane Powertwin Review
I have owned a Jane Powertwin pushchair for the last three years and have found it to be the best twin pushchair on the market, it's a three wheeled pushchair with off road style tyres which can cope with all types of terrain quite easily. I have used mine on beaches, country walks, gravel pathways and busy supermarkets and never had any problems.
The great thing about the Powertwin is that it is no wider than an average single pushchair. I can get through gaps in the supermarket with the Powertwin that my mum couldn't get through with the single buggy. The rear seat lays back for a new born baby while the front seat is suitable from three months or when baby can support its own head. This pushchair is also suitable for newborn twins when used with car seats, making it into an excellent travel system. With the addition of Rebel car seats which are very easy to attach to the pushchair and also easy to fit into the car.
The Powertwin is very easy to push and light to lift up and down curbs and can be pushed one handed even with two heavy toddlers in it, this pushchair is very strong and I have never had any problems with it not even a puncture.
The Powertwin is very comfortable for tiny babies, even my six year old has slept comfortably in this pushchair, the rear seat has three positions, lay flat making it suitable from birth, a semi recline and upright. The front seat has two positions upright and a semi recline but is still enough for babies and toddlers to sleep in. There are also foot rests for both children, and plenty of leg room for both too, my six year old can sit in the back seat comfortably, there is also a foam bumper bar at the front which is easy to remove and put back on so the child can climb in and out, we attached several toys to this and it kept the baby happy for hours.
We have used this pushchair on long walks and it has no problem over rough ground even with two heavy toddlers in it , you can also fold the front seat forwards when you aren’t using it so the child in the rear seat can see and you can put the front seat up when your toddlers legs get tired.
The seat covers are very durable and are easy to wash and the hoods can be taken off and scrubbed clean if necessary.
The Powertwin is very easy to put up and down, to put it up you release the safety catch on the side and the pushchair will open and lock into place and can even be done with one hand. To collapse it you lift two catches one either side of the handle and the pushchair will fold easily.
The Powertwin fits easily into the boot of most family cars and can be made smaller by removing the rear wheels and adjusting the front wheel by this I mean you can lower the front wheel so it sits nearer to the frame, mine fitted in my friend’s metro. We have also used this pushchair on the train and found it very easy to push off and on, and the pushchair is lightweight for a double making it easy to lift onto the bus.
It has a four positioned handle to suit tall and shorter people, a soft foam cover which makes it comfortable to push, large air filled tyres and adjustable suspension on the rear wheels for an even smoother ride, it also has a lockable front swivel wheel. There are brakes on all three wheels of the pushchair, a disc brake on the front wheel which is operated by a handbrake on the handle, so you can control the speed when going downhill. The rear brakes are very secure and lock both wheels every time and is a simple press on lift off style brake. You can also buy matching cosy toes to keep children warm in the cold weather and a changing bag to keep babies essentials in.
I have tried many different double pushchairs and none were as good as this one.
I rate this pushchair 5 out of 5
