    Default double buggy needed and advice!

    Hi, im not sure this is the right place to put this so apologies if im wrong!
    I have an 18 month old starting in january, i also have an 18 month old of my own so will be needing a double buggy, ive not had any experience of doubles (I can tell you anything about singles, a self confessed pramaholic!) what do you all reccomend?
    i wont be using my car for work so boot space isnt an issue
    thanks!
    xXx

    i prefer the ones thats are in front of each other - i loved my graco staudium duo i had when had my 2 kids .. easy to set up put away, can get in all shops as some side by side doubles dont and if need to a buggy board could be attached. the basket is spacious too.

    help you ? x

    I have the urbon odyssey from Mothercare - 3 wheeler and fab. If the children are heavy then you can pump the tyres up a bit more and the handle is a good height with no leaning over.

    Hi

    I used a Jane Power Twin tandem and they are a bit expensive but if you can get a good deal on a second hand one then buy one. It does not matter if the children get heavier because it pushes really well and the wheels can be pumped up as well. Mine pushed like my single Urban Detour and my daughter is really heavy.

    I am selling my Chicco double pushchair. Its like this one here but mine is in grey and yellow:

    http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.205-2297.aspx

    It is lovely to push and I have recently been using it with combinations of a 10 mth old, 18 mth old and 2 yr old.

    It comes with a raincover and individual aprons for each seat. It is easy to lie it down and easy to collapse too.

    I would like £40 plus £15 for courier.

    If you PM your email address, I can send you photos of my one.

    If you are going to be walking everywhere then I reccommend investing in a 3 wheeler style whether its side by side or a tandem. Last so much longer and easier to push even with one hand if one of the toddlers wants to walk a little bit., The out n about 360 is the best I have used so far but is low so wouldnt recomend if you are 5ft 10 plus

    Not so good if you are going to use public transport as they dont fold that small
