hello, i am looking to get a tamden buggy to use with a 9 month old and a 19 month old. i have a side by side maclaren but if both children fall asleep in it when i am out i cant get in my front door without semi collapsing it! i was looking at the phil an teds but they cost so much money. i have seen the cosatto duo and a catippar combi which have both taken my eye but what are they like? what do you have or can anyone recommed a good tamden. thanks sarah

The Jane Powertwin is fab :thumbsup:
Its easy to push, light, lots of room in back seat. There are some on ebay really cheap.

I have a Graco Quattro tour duo. The only down side is its bulky and heavy to lift when folded but i dont drive so no problem. I do like that i can fit 3 lots of lunch bag, book bags, my bag and toy library stuff on it. Due to the handles i can have two holding on safely with out my hands getting in the way., The other one holds on inbetween the seats.

i am only selling it as i have 3 doubles and this is the one i use the least

Hi - just wondered how much you would pay for a second hand jane powertwin?
I've been to look at one - it's on a well known auction site and is in really good condition. She said it's been well used but to me, it looks immaculate even the wheels so it shows they are very hard wearing.
it's currently on £100 which is more than i wanted to pay but having looked around it sounds like a good price because they seem to hold their price well!
so my question is - how much would you pay? comes with hoods, raincover (which has a slight tear) and a cosy toes for the back seat.
The bumper bar at the front has some of the foam bitten off!
No car seat but that's not essential.
Thanks

i paid £205 for mine about 6mnths ago but it did come with 2 car seats. my friend has had hers for 6 years and is well used but still looks new!
they will last for years and still look good!
