After getting bad wrist ache with my old Maclaren a friend on here recommended a Mothercare double.

it's one of those with big wheels - it's absolutely brilliant, easy to push and turns on a sixpence...

Well worth the investment if you do a lot of walking :thumbsup: :D

You know when a lightbulb appears over your head and u realise something.

Well that's just happened...:laughing: :idea:

Now I know why my shoulders are hurting. It's because I haven't pushed my double buggy for 6 weeks. I wondered why they were hurting and now I know

Hope you're feeling better soon, Ive taken some Nurofen ;)

Although I used to get chronic shoulder ache from my awful cheap buggy, now my nipper doesn't usually give me back ache.

much as I loved my old maclaren double, it did give me 'double buggy back'! a well known pain for CMs :rolleyes:

Much better now I have a mountain buggy and a P&T depending on where I am going

I've had my quad buggy out today with 4 little lumps in - I am shattered!

same here, I had triple buggy out yesterday for first time in months, and so tired last night. It is a really nice one, usually so easy to push, but now carrying 3 tired 2 and 3 year olds who are heavy anyway, I really felt it.
Hopefully they will get back into walking now they are back with me after the hols.:D

:eek::eek::panic::panic: i just got rid of my triple and I'm so happy. Mind you means fridays are a double with a buggy board on - not sure it's any better apart from the storage :laughing:

Which quad did you have? Never heard of this!
Got a graco stadium duo with buggy pod.

I have the twin/triple (converts) version of this. I also have a trapped nerve, so ease and comfort do matter. It's a real joy to push cos it has an adjustable grip and pneumatic tyres.

Honestly, I'd rather push this with 2-3 lo's in that 1 in a single buggy with solid tyres.

Ive just bought this quad. its easier to push than my old double and I can also use it as a triple or double. Only problem is I live at the top of a steep hill and thats when any pushchair hurts. Surely there must be some kind of mini motor out there. I'd love to invent one. Dragons den maybe.

My knee is absolutely killing me from pushing my double with a buggy board attached - think they've all put weight on during the summer hols! It never used to bother me but this last week I've been feeling the Pain!!! :(

My Dad plays golf and has a trolley with a motor - it should be really easy to put one on a buggy - I'm surprised there isn't one about! :D

Here is one http://www.barnevognshuset.dk/product/trille-magnum-i-graa-med-motor-439/ Only about £1500!:eek:
In some areas these are given to childminders by the council (most childminders in Denmark are not self employed).

I need a new double buggy, as the one I have is a bit heavy for me and will now be using it a lot more often, rather than occasionally! What do people mean by big wheels? They all look the same size on the pictures!

Will be quite restricted by cost as well, as really can't afford very much at the moment :(

So any thoughts on brand & models would be great! Thanks :thumbsup:

I love my nipper 360. I consider mclaren to be small wheels.

When they do a quad with a motor, I'm in........I love my P&T due a double is their limit.

They do fit four children. They have a harness each and sit facing each other. But not cheap at £1500.

I always had backache when I had the Maclaren twin. Then we had snow and couldn't go out unless I was using the single buggy with big pneumatic tryres. So I bought the Nipper 360 Double. Goes over snow a dream and no more backache:)
I have a Bibi Strolli Rider which I attach to the Nipper if I have 3 non walkers.

the ones with huge air filled tyres hon. they are lovely to push but I just got rid of mine as I have no garage or shed or rear access to my house and they are huge when folded most of them and I was wrecking my hallway carrying them in and out. :panic:
