Help with buying a double buggy PLEASE

**DIPPY DOUGHNUT** · 24-09-2010, 11:09 PM

Please, please, please can somone help me

I am going to be looking after a 14month old and a 24month old and would like to buy a double buggy.

Well i have looked on the internet for hours and still dont seem to be getting anywhere!! i would prefere a tandem one rather then side by side.

Ive looked on ebay and the ones in my area are either to much money or atleast 45 minute drive away. I feel like i have looked on every website going and they are either too much money or the rear seat is only for a child upto 6 months.

please can someone help me find a website that has a good value for money double buggy.

Thank you

Would you prefer a 4 or 3 wheeler. Have you tried ***** and facebook buy and sell as well?

In our area you can apply for a short term (as along as you need it) loan of equipment through the Development workers, have you tried asking in your area, you never know.

I dont mind if its 3 or 4 wheels, although my friend said that 3 wheels are easier to push.

Ive looked on *****, but im not on face book!

The cheapest one i have found is on precious little ones for £69.95 but is a side by side one and i would prefere tandem,

Thanks for your feedback X

Ive had alook at the carboots but people seemed to only be selling singles. i looked at the pre-loved website but couldnt figure out how to change the settings so it show the ones near my house lol.

me and the interenet have a love/hate relationship

Maybe try freecycle.org? you join the one that is local to your area, I got a fab stroller which lays flat from a lovely lady who had to many buggies! It was almost new and hardly used, mamas and papas! I think I was very lucky. Worth an ask?

I'm looking on a graco stadium duo on ebay new for £109 think its from babyonline

Hi ya, I researched double buggies thoroughly after I had a side by side and could not fit it thru the pre schools door!!! I ended up buying the Britax B dual which is similar to the phil & Teds one, its fab I love it but was 350 quid all in!! My sis has brought the Oh Baby one, which is a bit cheaper I think!

If you find one you like the look of on e-bay, it is always worth sending the seller a message to ask if they would consider posting the item to you, even if they have listed it as collection only.

I bought a Jane Powertwin tandem pushchair on e-bay a couple of weeks ago. I found one in good condition listed with a buy it now price of £130, it had no bids on it (possibly because no-one within collecting distance was interested at the time) so I messaged to ask if she would consider posting it and she replied to say she would be happy to and it would cost me £20. It arrived brilliantly packaged 4 days later and I'm really quite chuffed with my bargain!
