Im having the same problem!! My youngest daughter will only be 11 months when my little boy arrives so a double buggy is a must. We (n when I say we, I totally mean I!! Lol) were looking at the Icandy Peach Blossom. I thought it was lovely to push, not too long, gorgeous looking. However im now seriously wondering if my children are going to out grow the Peach Blossom seats pretty quickly

We also looked at the Bugaboo Donkey but it was still absolutely huge when it was folded down and theres no way we could fit it in the boot of our S-Max!!

Starting to wonder if there is a double out there that is great to push, lovely to look at and not as long as a bus!!

Ive seen the new Phil & Teds Promenade online, anyone had a look at one of these in 'the flesh'??

The seats are very small on the iCandy. Hence why we went for the baby jogger city select

Ahhhh that's funny youve gone for the same one i was looking at. If I go with it I want it in red. We Played with it for ages. It is fab and so many options. Lara loved it

just wish it wasn't as long but maybe I need to get used to that. It's nice and slim. About £650 too if I don't get the carry cot and just the extra seat.

I looked at this one yesterday in Babies R Us. 16 seating combinations!! Impressive! But I agree, it did seem a little longer than some of the others - though having never really pushed a tandem out in the real world im not sure how much this matters. Total novice, haha

I have a Britax now and it's great. It's cheap and I've walked it to death. I want something different now

it's very cosy and extremely easy to use.

Ohhh I've just seen the Promenade someone mentioned. I like the look of it!
Looks quite bulky when folded though that's the only thing.
I'm not a big fan of the more 'all terrain' looking Phil and Teds as my mum has a bulky three wheeler like that for taking my LO walks in and it's a NIGHTMARE to push. Just so long!

I spoke to mums about the p&t. All said wheels always punctured and the underneath seat is too small. I went off it.

Very true.

We are going for the Phil and Teds promenade which is a few hundred cheaper and teh seats are both large and can accommodate my 16kg 16month old.

I hae played around with it. It realy isnt that bulky for a double. It is shorter in length than teh City Select

I've got a big boy, and when I went to see the iCandy it just looked too small. The phil and teds promenade but again the seats looked a bit small and oh then decided he didn't like tandem prams

So we're now going for the bugaboo donkey. Or we're until my mil decided she didn't like it (not that I asked) and has asked oh to look at the baby jogger city select...

I think it was the explorer is seen. Just looking at the promenade now. Looks nice.
