Can anyone recomend a double buggy thats reasonably easy for a 5ft tall person to push? lol.

I hate the things but may have to buy one soon, the last one i had was awful! cant remember the make but i found it really hard work.

I need to it fold up reasonably small too and be light.

can't afford phil and teds or anything like that, just want one for occasional use and short walks.

Hi, I have the opposite problem I am over 5"10 and am hunched over with most buggies!!!! Perhaps we could take a bit off your buggy and put it on mine!!!

I am 5ft 2" and I love my three wheeler. It is the Odyssey from Mothercare and is fab. I would go to Mothercare and try the different ones out. I like the fact that the back wheels come out easily for storage and boot space.

the out n about nipper is quite low and easy to push - folds up small for a 3 wheeler but obv not as small as an umbrella fold

they are a bit expensive for me at the mo! wanted a decent one but a cheapie really. looked on ebay but good ones dont come on very often and would like a new one really.

Yes they can be but not so bad when getting them 2nd hand - Nothing wrong with 2nd hand pushchairs as long as you can see them/inspect them before buying.

thanks just had a look and ive got my eye on one! its a drive away but not too far, looks a nice pram, just a bit worried about the width of it and wether it will fit through the average doorway, but i think most of them do nowadays don't they?

I couldn't get it through my front door. When I go out I find that there are double doors nearly everywhere

Are you going after a red one?

it was a red one i was looking at but decided not to now, as i read some reviews on it and people have said its too wide for a lot of doorways.
i really want a tandem one i think so it will fit in my narrow hallway.
Will keep looking:)
