Jané Powertwin Pro
The Jané Powertwin Pro is based on the tandem three-wheeler Jané Powertwin. It is an easily maneuvrable stroller with a relatively compact fold. It has solid, maintenance-free wheels with a distinctive tire tread. The first Powertwin Pro models used to have air-filled tires. In addition to the pedal brake, you can use the decelerating handbrake which you will appreciate, for example, when going downhill. The rubber-foam handle, as well as the hood with pop-out sun visors, was also improved. The seats, one behind the other, are suitable for smaller children. The front seat, unlike the rear one, has a bumper bar and can only be reclined partially. Therefore, without the use of car seats, the stroller is more suitable for siblings with a small age gap. You can use it for twins, but only when at least one of them is able to sit independently. Infants that cannot sit independently can be carried in separately purchased car seats which can be attached to the chassis. You can also attach one Matrix carrycot to the Powertwin Pro.

Parent reviews of the Jané Powertwin Pro
We used the stroller only briefly (about two months) as a sibling stroller. The advantage is that you can mount the Jané bassinet in the back instead of the rear seat and use the stroller for the baby (younger child). The disadvantage is poor manoeuvrability, as the older child sits in front and shifts the centre of gravity inappropriately forward, making the stroller difficult to push. After a short time, I swapped this stroller for another sibling stroller that was designed the other way around - younger and lighter child in the front, older and heavier child in the back.
