    Default double buggy advice

    Hi, i use buses all the time as dont drive, need a double, have had numerous ones and really struggling to find one that will fit on a bus without having to unload and fold up. Needs to be a side by side as i physically can not push a tandem, have had a couple and when they have 2 toddlers in they too heavy. Currently have a real basic umbrella fold that doesnt even recline and that only just fits with a bit of persuasion and lots of pushing and shoving and holding the bus up! Makes the grumpygrannies moan a lot when i get on and off the bus. my basic one doesnt have a raincover and need a cover due to this excessively sunny summer we are having, cant put a universal raincover on it as it doesnt have hood to hold the cover in place. Any ideas please, am getting desperate.

    Have you looked at the twin city stroller?


    Im in. The same position as i don't drive either and have been looking for the ideal one.

    I really like the phil and teds range but would much prefer a side by side.

    I'd say a phil and ted would suit you best and is so much easier to push than the majority of side by sides. I have a Mclaren twin triumph which is fairly narrow and light to push but I'd say narrowness is the most important factor when getting n the bus.

    Hi I have McLaren twin triumph too and I get on the bus fine with it, I'm thinking about getting nipper 360 as do lots of walking every day but will probably use the McLaren for buses x

    I don't drive so use buses a lot. I've got a baby jogger city mini side by side and it fits on and off fine
