That includes a name, which they’ve already picked. They’re keeping it a secret until the baby is born, but Rycroft, 27, says it “came to us pretty easily.”

Review: Mountain Buggy Duo Stroller

When parents go looking for a double stroller that’s a breeze to push and easy to fit through doorways, there really aren’t a lot of options … which is why we love the Mountain Buggy Duo ($680) so much.

Things We Like:

Although the Duo is sleek, it fills every need of a family looking for a double. At 29 inches wide, it will fit through any standard doorway.

It’s also super versatile. The seats and canopies function separately from one another.

And the recline option is seat-specific which means no arguing about who wants to lie down and who doesn’t.

“The couple ask that their privacy be respected and that they be left alone at this deeply distressing time. No further comment will be made.”

Allen, 25, announced a few weeks ago that the baby, a boy, was due in January. This is her second such loss – coming almost three years after she suffered a miscarriage during her relationship with musician Ed Simons.
