Hi Tina,
I have just invested in one of these as a stroller to use around the shops, I bought a twin bertini before the girls were born and although I love it for walking to the shops etc, to haul it in and out the car is killing my back. The childcare is great and lightweight fits easily in the boot with shopping and also lies back for when the girls want a sleep which alot of the other cheaper strollers don't.
I paid about the same as you and seems to be standard everywhere I looked. Just one thing though I only use mine in shopping centres not sure how well this one would go walking long distances or over rough ground.
Hope this helps a bit!

Are we talking about the Childcare Twin Rover or the Childcare Twin Shoppers?
I have both but didn't want to post opinions until I knew which one was being asked about!

I think mine is the shopper, it's the one which folds inwards and collapses right down, though I haven't seen the other so don't know how alike or not alike they are!
Sorry for confusion

hmmm.. I have a childcare one and maybe it's not the same but I hate it. It was about $300. It's huge, my boys have just turned 3 and in the last year I have hardly used it because I hate it. It was ok when they were babies but once they added weight to the pram it became almost impossible to turn when you're walking it. You need muscles I tell you!
I prefer taking them round the shops in a trolley and I have for ages.
