some advice

leoniebabey · Mar 19th, 2012, 16:13 PM

ok i don't have twins and im not pregnant with twins but i thought you ladies on this part may know more about double pushchairs. (im assuming quite a few of you have double buggies) just looking for some reccomendations really. Which did you find fit through doors, easy to push ect.
Thinking i'm going to buy a double but i'm losing the will to live trying to pick one they all look the same to me!
Thanks for any advice you can give me

I have an iCandy pear. It's great for twins but the seats aren't massive so it might not suit an older child. Sorry not much help but it's a good buggy otherwise

I have the baby jogger city select and I love it it's great, fits through doors, easy to steer and comfy for my boys. Xx

I have the jogger mini twin - its brilliant, narrow and literally drops down flat with one pull of a strap. It folds flat so can fit like an envelope into my very small boot. I chose it because of this and because it is so light to push.

I loved the iCandy, but because you have to take of its seats, then find space to put the chassis and both carriers into a car, I couldn't even consider it (I have a people carrier, but because I have 4 kids all the seats are used and I can't free up more boot space). X

We have the Mountain Buggy Duet which is the narrowest double buggy on the market (apparently) but the seats are still full size. My twins aren't here yet so all I can say it feels easy to manoeuvre so far and the reviews are great. It is however rather pricey

I understand the problem with taking off the seats for iCandy - but it depeds on what's more accessible/practical etc I guess. My brother's twins used the perego duette java and i personally found it quite clumpy. They have a different stroller but not sure which.
Personally I quite like the look of the icandy Peach Blossom - it's the most stylish tandem style IMHO. Eldest would use the upper seat and youngest in the lower seat. If your worried about getting through doors etc - it would't be the issue as it has the footprint of a single. But then there are pros and cons to many different ones. iCandy just happen to be my preference. I love mine - plus they're British brand so if you happen to feel loyal lol. I always find pushchair matters easier to decide on by going in store and having a test ride of different ones.

P.S I love your avatar haha! Hide yo kiiiids, hide yo wiiife x

i don't have a car so would only ever be folding it down in the event of a taxi journey which is rare lol! so not a major issue for me. Will deffo have to test drive a few before i pick, there isn't too many stores where i live but there's an ok one a bus ride away where you pay a deposit then pay the rest when it arrives so time to save.

just had a look at the icandy it's gorgeous! and i like how you can put newborn in carrycot and toddler in the seat.

haha i love it! cracks me up every time i watch it
