The return of stroller weather:
7 A.M. Enfant Duo Stroller Bag


If you can almost hear Handel's Messiah playing in the background of this post, it's because that is what the return of stroller weather means to this mommy of twins. The ability to strap my little twins into the double stroller and leave the house for a long walk is a beautiful thing. Alas, when you and your twins live in a climate like Chicago, bitterly cold snowy weather has kept you inside for months. However, the end is near. Some slightly more tolerable weather and an amazing double stroller blanket by 7 AM Enfant have me rejoicing.

The Blanket DUO is my new ticket to the outdoors. It's an exclusive concept designed by the Studio 7 A.M.® and it is the ideal accessory for your twins. With an elasticized toggle for a perfect fit, it slips over your Double Stroller in a minute. A few velcro straps help keep it in place, and a few built in pacifier leashes help keep the binkies in place. Additionally, it's single center zipper makes getting the twins in and out without removing the blanket a cinch. The Duo features a breathable Dupont® Teflon® shell that protects from wind and rain. It's lined with a weight-efficient insulation offering light weight and optimal heat retention.

The Duo fits my Valco Double Tri-mode stroller perfectly, and with the elastic toggle it is certain to adapt to most. Both of my boys seemed plenty warm and quite comfortable. I really love how it is quite warm without weighing the little guys down. Plus the zipper makes opening it up when the sun comes out a two second process. If you need something really warm and easy to use, go with the Duo.

The Duo is available in a variety of colors. They also make single style blankets for those of you who have tandem style strollers.
