Well I push two three yrs old in mine :thumbsup:

dimensions are......... wait here whilst I measure :D

It's only 28 inches across at it's widest point and folds very flat, you can take the wheels off too.

I have no idea how big a fiesta boot is if you measure how much room the boot has I will fold mine up for you and see??????

Nippers are lovely to push and look v comfy and are lightweight but no, def not smaller width wise than your mac twin. Folds flat so as long as width of the buggy is less than width of boot, should be fine. can easy check width of both online

my husbands got a fiesta and looking at it, my twin out n about would not fit into the boot how ever I would measure the width of the boot and the width of the buggy and double check.

When the buggy is unfolded it is only slightly wider than a maclaren traveller and will fit through most doors no problem

when folded it isnt quite as long but is wider if that makes sense

The buggy itself is a dream. I have had 2 large 2 year olds in it and had no problem.

I used to have a maclaren twin traveller and I would choose the twin out n about nipper over it any day

you'd maybe need to take parcel shelf down and stand it up rather than lie it flat on floor of buggy.

That may make the difference

my fiesta is 5 dr hatch Zetec model the new shape,

now thinkin it may be beta 2 get a decent buggy an get a buggy board an swap the kiddies round but then they sleep at same time so if we're out an about it wont work, need 2 really think bout this b4 spendin anymore money!!

the boot maybe different on the new model. Is it the model that looks similar to the focus?

me neither! and i'm a bit of a pram addict too! think its an occuaptional hazard!

;)

i have a twin urban detour and i love it, very easy to push. but i don't think it folds down very small. i keep it up in the garage all the time!

i tried a nipper, but found it too low to push, and hurt my back!

I didnt know there was a forum either ;)

When i had my youngest two dds they were 16mths apart and i went throu 14 double pushchairs and then countless contraptions on a single, then loads of singles while my youngest still needed a pushchair, then all the other singles i had with my other two children and doubles cause they were 21mths apart. I tried to list them all once and got to 60 and gave up :laughing:

My user name on ebay is buggyqueen1980 :laughing: :blush:

Ok been thinking more - new car not an option.

Measurements of boot r
width between wheels - 39inches
width from back seet 2 - 26inches
depth with parcel shelf - 21inches
(does that make sense)
