Mamas&Papas Armadillo Twin
The Mamas&Papas Armadillo Twin is a modern, minimalistic, urban tandem stroller based on the single Armadillo stroller. Two identical, side-by-side seats of the Armadillo Twin can be individually reclined flat using just one hand. The leg rests are adjustable too. Both seats are only forward-facing. For smaller children - twins from birth - a newborn nest or a newborn insert can be added. The Armadillo Twin will also be able to accommodate a combination of a young baby and an older sibling. Another advantage of this stroller apart from the one-handed compact fold is the spacious shopping basket.

Parent reviews of the Mamas&Papas Armadillo Twin
Your questions about the Mamas&Papas Armadillo Twin
Is there any possibility of attaching a safety bumper bar to this stroller? We feel that the safety bar is really essential.
Hey there!
I am sorry to say that this double stroller doesn't offer any bumper bar. Yes, some parents do feel the need for a belly bar, but this particular stroller, perhaps also to be so narrow in the folder state, doesn't offer that possibility. Apart from having a tailor sew one for you, tailor-made, (picture of a similar, just a single one, attached), you can only think of a different double buggy, I'm afraid.
