I need a small (short) folding double buggy - any suggestions???

**Childminder in Kent** · 25-02-2013, 10:13 PM

I have a Renault Grand Scenic - Lovely 7 seater car with a tiny boot!
I need to use the back seats, so have to find a double buggy that will fit - all the umbrella fold ones that I have tried have been too long.
The buggy (folded) needs to be no longer than 104cm long and 40 cm wide, although as you go up, my boot narrows from 40cm - 20cm!
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have a zafira and have just bought the baby jogger city mini double and can get it in with all 7 seats up. Great pushchair too. I love it. Can measure tomorrow for you if you like xx

I gave a zaffy and have just bought a Jane twin two - big mistake!! Just fits on boot with back seats folded

nice to push but ****** huge ! Back to the drawing board me thinks xx

While the children are small, would you have any more space under their feet in the footwell behind the divers seat? I don't have / need a double at the moment, but was considering this if I do ever need one!

The Maclaren triumph, chicco echo and the mothercare zoob all fold up small. If you go to somewhere like mothercare they may let you check whether they fit before you buy. Most pushchair handles are too high for me to push comfortably so I've had to look for buggys with shorter handles, which then fold up small. These 3 seem to be the shortest so might fit.

I have the McClaren triump and it folds small enough to fit in the back of my daffy with all seats up. I use my out and about with 6 seats in use

i have a larger double at the moment and as MessybutHappy suggested mine goes in the footwell behind the drivers seat until i have aquired a smaller one. HTH

There is an I baby twin on mother care website which I am looking at for my zaf. It is 99cm and is approx 120 incl free delivery

I have a buggy from mothercare called a mino. Very small and short and nice to push. easily fits in a scenic grand as I had in the back of my friends last week

I used to have a combi W2 (think that was what it was called) that was the best folder I've ever had. Not sure on dimensions though.

Mini city double

folds down small plus great pushchair x

**Tazmin68** · 26-02-2013, 12:13 PM

I have just ordered the o baby double. It is 95 cm length so looks good. I will update you when I get it
I will then sell my cosatto twin lunar which is very difficult in zaf and my chico multiway which again is no good in zaf with all seats.
My loft is looking like a buggy park

I use a Mamas and papas twin Aria which is great, it folds flat but remains a square if you know what I mean, it goes between the rear seats and the back window...x

**Tazmin68** · 26-02-2013, 12:59 PM

Twin aria would not fit in a zaf behind rear seats. Just tried measurments

**Tazmin68** · 26-02-2013, 01:06 PM

It looks like the mini city jogger again will not fit into a zaf when all seats are up. At the top it is quite narrow with the wheels I think would be impossible. I will let you know what I think of the obaby the alternative was the maclaren one which again looked lite it would fit. Just seen previous post that it will fit sorry.

I have one and it fits

All 7 seats in my Galaxy move independently so it's handy, an inch or 2 makes all the difference...x

I have a zafira so small boot too. I've just got the kiddicare double stroller for £99. And it fits fine, light to push and basic which is all I need

**Childminder in Kent** · 26-02-2013, 09:48 PM

Thanks for the suggestions everyone, I will look into them all :-)
I think the difference between the Scenic and a Zafira is that the Scenic's boot is a tiny bit shorter?
I have tried a combi (well using measurements) and it doesnt look like it will fit :-(

I have a VW Beetle with a tiny boot and my city mini jogger fits! I take the front wheels off but it's a one click action and easy to do, it's a great puschair, bit pricey but worth it
