Bugaboo or icandy.. Advice please two babies..

hawalkden · Mar 25th, 2012, 11:21 AM

Well im expecting again.. Isaac is only 5 months shock i know. So been thinking we need a double pram and the only realistic one id need either an iCandy double or Bugaboo Donkey due to the baby base and infant seat etc. a double jogger or pram is from 6 months so not realistic :/.

Anyway any u ladies got a double Bugaboo or Icandy and if so how much was it and are they easy to use. Been looking obline etc but days phone the store. Thinking of getting it off Ebay. But need tips first. Thanks x

Congrats!
I have a donkey and absolutely love it!
My daughter is a year but no where near walking so I know that a buggy board etc wasn't an option for us!
It is bulky to fit in your boot tho, have you a big car?
Apart from that I can't fault it, let me know if yu any more specific questions

Oh, we were £1380 or something like that, that's for the Duo extension set and 2 footmuffs (which aren't included and you need to buy separately)
I would've bought second hand if I could've found one near where we live.
Basic duo extension which is everything except the footmuffs is £1200

thank you

, nervous about it all & saving etc

.

cant think of anymore Qs at the moment OH is shocked at the price etc an what we'll need etc. I'm just wondering size wise etc I'll be getting bus or no car due to OH using it for work so worrying in a way when we go into town and all old dollies are in way haha

A double Baby Jogger can be used with their own carrycots(about £100). I did see one with twin carrycots the other day and it looked much nicer than i imagined. The jogger is super light too.

(just thought id let you know in case you hadnt known! We used the jogger after about 3 months with a cosytoes and fully reclined, no problems, and i normally hate joggers for little babies)

Not a double, but I have a bugaboo cameleon, so I'd vouch for bugaboo as a brand, I love it!! I got that off eBay for £215 instead of the retail price of £800+, so I'd defo recommend lookin on there.
Just as a thought tho, if your worried about space an money, why don't you wear the newborn in a sling, an push Isaac? Then get a cheaper 6 month plus double buggy when newbie is ready?

An congrats on your bfp!!

I was gona get the donkey, even ordered n paid deposit but in the end I couldn't justify the price! I got a baby jogger double for £285 off kiddicare n glad I didn't spend any more! It's an amazing pram but honestly don't use it that much! Dd wants to walk all the time so unless u are gona be walking loads And goin out loads I wouldn't spend too much!
I said I'd go out loads but it's too much hassle with 2!

The iCandy seemed really heavy to me especially with two children in it!

So it's upto u, if u can justify £1200 without the extras then the donkey sways it for me!!

Look on kiddicare website they have a double on there for half the price of the bugaboo which is very similar I think its by o baby not sure, I plan on wearing my new baby until poppy is ready for a buggy board is that something you have thought about I know it may not suit you but its worth a thought xx
