maclaren twin techno problem

[ziggy]

I love this buggy i bought almost new for £50 but find straps so tight on even quite slim children and if they are wearing winter coats its impossible

Has anyone else had same problem? really hoping i can find nipper or phi n teds on ebay

Yes the straps are not generous but I never have much more than an 18mth old in a buggy because they walk then so it hasn't been too much of a problem for me.

actually got that wrong lol its a triumph!!! little boy i had in it today isnt 2 yet and not a big child. wish we could test drive buggies before we buy them

phone maclaren ... it might be that the straps were sewn incorrectly?

Mines a triumph and not had this problem. Maybe clip in a walking rein harness to use instead?

I have a twin triumph and have had a 3 year old in it and the straps were fine. Have you undone them all the way (on each strap?) Sorry if that sounds condescending but some people don't realise all the straps are adjustable.

It seems the strap that goes around the child's waist just isnt long enough
