    Nipper 360, there fab and very light, you can push them one handed on sand with two heavy toddlers, but they are abit pricey even second hand, but you get what you pay for in my opinion.
    If its something you will use a lot I would really recommend investing in a good double. X

    Had a cosatto duet lite! So not buy this buggy! Wheels don't turn properly at the front making it hard to push! It's so heavy to get up curbs!
    Save your money and get a better one! Silver cross duo it good!
    the problem i have is im going to have to go for a tandem-and all the great sounding ones seem to be side by side :-( the pavements are so narrow near me for the school run i dont think a side by side would fit

    Def recommend a nipper 360! Push one handed, brilliant on steps. Can fit a buggy board and fits through most doorways. I've tried about ten over the years and this wins hands down for me

    Have a look at the new Babystyle Oyster Max.

    I sold my Phil and Teds as I found it too heavy to get in and out of my car so many times during the day.

    I bought the Oyster Max in February and I love it.

    It can take 2 car seats or a combination of seats and car seats. The top seat can be forward facing or parent facing too.

    What I like about it is to get the child in to the bottom seat first you can tip the top seat forward creating loads of space to fit the child in the bottom.

    I got it from a shop local to me.

    They have them on Amazon though and I think Kiddicare do it too.

    Shame you're not near me, you could come and see it.

    They're quite expensive and you have to buy all the seats separate. None on eBay either.

    It is, but I decided with the children I've got at the moment it was worth it.

    I had a couple of pushchairs between the Phil and Teds and this one that I bought from Ebay and luckily sold at a profit, so wasn't too worried.

    Definitely worth the money though.

    It only came out in February, so I shouldn't think you will find any second hand on Ebay yet, unless someone absolutely hated it.

    Littletreasures, is the oyster max sturdy, I am looking at replacing my P & Ts but I do like the fact that I can take it on rough ground. Also do you think it could take a buggyboard? I have seen on a website that it could but that its quite a cramped space for lo standing up. I have 3 lo eldest is just 2 and school run is about a 20 min walk each way, I am thinking about an Everest triple but its so expensive and I would still need a separate single.

    It's not quite as sturdy as a Phil n Teds, but it has 4 wheels so I feel it's more stable. The back wheels are big and the front are still quite big. Bigger than a McLarens wheels.

    I will let you know this week about a buggy board. The Lascal doesnt fit but I've got a bumprider to fit and will be trying the 20 month old on it this week.

    I've got a safety first tandem, it's easy to push and I love it, the back seat doesn't recline very good so wouldn't recommend for a baby who needs to sleep but for 2 toddlers I love it
