I also have the Peg Aria....hate it, dont get it! It is light weight and folds nicely, but once the babies get a bit heavier, it is soooo hard to push and the basket hits the ground with anything you put in it and then you end up with a huge hole(which I have). This stroller is lacking the middle set of wheels, which makes it difficut to handle. After a while the seats get very difficult to recline. The hood is useless for shade. It seems like a great stroller in the begining (thats why I got it) but it is not worth the money.
I don't have this problem at all. My 5 yo is 36 lbs and my 7 mos old is 20 lbs. I load the basket up and have not had it drag yet. I do agree the sun shades are not big enough, but I found a huge attachable uv shade at BRU that I will be getting. I love this stroller and find it very worth the money.
