The good news is that this extra width enables them to handle heavier children without straining the chassis. Other features that make them stand out: large pop-out umbrellas with SPF 50 protection, as well as peekaboo windows, swivel-lock front wheels to help navigate tight spaces like shopping aisles, a cup holder for one parent and a clever fold mechanism that operates with one hand.
