Double Buggys

[vixforever]

To all you Mummys out there I'm due in October and my son will be 20 months so I'm doing a bit of research into double prams so far I'm set on getting a Phil and Teds sport as you can also use it as a single buggy, anyone got one of these? If so, are they any good? Could you recommend another double pushchair, also like the look of the iCandy Pear, hmmm

Hiya, i orginally went for the p&t sport had it delivered an set it all up only to find i hated it (personal opinion) it was massive but i know people that have it an love it, i took it back, an ended up with the baby jogger city mini double an loved it so much its so light an easy to use and fits through standard doorways! i also have the maclaren double techno (i love pushchairs ) an i also love that too, it can be heavy to push at times if u have shoppin etc on it unlike the baby jogger!

I had the same problem though Brandon will be 23 months by the time the new one's born (due in September). I just could not find a nice good decent looking double buggy. Phil&Ted to me is way to big (just seeing mums getting on the buses with these and struggling put me off), I personally hate all the Maclarens, I think they are all horrible but obviously it's very individual So we decided to go for a single buggy, got Mothercare Xcursion for the new one, decided that when I am going out on my own I will have the baby in a sling (or something similar) and Brandon in the buggy if he is still not walking, and when OH and I are out together, we'll just take two buggys or get a buggy board for Brandon Good luck to you though!

I loved the phil & teds. Sooooo easy to use and adapt. Not so steady on bumpy terrain, but an all round good pushchair. Folds easily etc. And you can sell it easy on ebay after u finished with it x

I have an iCandy Pear and I totally LOVE it! I love that I can get in ALL shops when I'm out and about! The car seat goes on and I have the carry cot on the lower spot and Hebe up front - she loves it too. she was 17 months when LO was born and only been walking a week before he arrived so I'm glad I have something I really like

I had the Firstwheels City Twin, beautiful pram but ttally impractical Too wide and heavy

I also had the Graco Stadium Duo, great pram for shopping so I got along well with this one.

I wanted the phil n teds but there is practically nowhere for shopping

Thanks, you can use the Pear as an Apple aswell can't you? My LO isn't walking yet - bless him

True about the Phil & Teds - I have a quinny buzz and a petite star zia! I have to take the zia out whilst shopping so I can put bags under the handles can only take the buzz out shopping if I put clips on to hold bags of shopping on the bar! lol

I have P&T and i was quite surprised by the huge shopping basket

I had icandy,jane,silver cross, baby jogger, mutsy etc and P&T is BY FAR the best one i had. no faults,perfect.

Whatever you do dont buy an Obaby XI tandem - I have just sent the 3rd one back - huge, impossible to steer, heavy, and all 3 ive had have ended up with either the front wheel sticking or the harness clips snapping!! I'm due in Sept with no.2 so trying to decide what to do, although my LO is 20 months and a good walker there is no way I could get him to stay put on a buggy board! He'd just run off and if i put reins on he has a paddy!!! aaaagh! Also possibly having a c-sec so wont be able to use a sling!!!! Why do they give us so much choice, i wish someone would just say 'get this one!'

A friend of mine has been very happy with the Nipper 360 out and about, might borrow hers for a test drive!

Thanks hun, I avoid Silver Cross I had a 3D travel system by them when my first was born. It was a pain to assemble and a pain to dismantle! Also it nearly collapsed with my son in it luckily I managed to pull him out

Hiya!

I'm not a Mum (yet!) but I am a Childminder and have been for almost 11 years so you can imagine how many buggy's i've gone through over the years!

I can honestly say my Phil & Ted is the best thing i've ever bought!! I've had it about 3 years now and I still love it!!

Another lady posted about seeing Mum's struggle when getting on a bus......... I don't drive and often get on a bus with the P&T plus 2 other little one's walking and i've never struggled!!

I'd say the only problem i've had with it so far is i've had a couple of punctures which are easily repaired!

Oh and also I have put it into family/friends boots before and usually have to take one of the back wheels off to fit it in but they're soooo simple to detatch and attatch it's not too much bother! Just be careful because the wheel pin has grease on it (keep a tissue handy).

I love it and think you've made a very good choice!!
