What double have you got?
Just wondering what double pushchairs everyone has and what they like/dislike about them. I'm fed up of looking and need some advice from 'real' mummies not sales assistants. We thought we'd decided but we keep changing our mind!
Thanks.
Thanks.

It is small enough folded to fit in the boot of our fiesta! Bonus!

I have the Cosatto Duet Lite. I really like it actually.. i didnt think i would when i got it i wasnt sure but now im using it i really like it. The baby is so snug and comfy in it, the basket is useful and dd loves it!! Its easy to fold and unfold.
The only draw back is its very heavy and quite long... but all doubles are there isnt a lighter one on the market. There are "real" photos on my fb of it in actual use hun but here is a link anyway. I got mine from a ebay shop for ??145 xx

Only problem I have with it is that because its 3 wheels you have to take kers straight on and need to be strong enough to lift it up the back two wheels without tipping it, my Nana almost has a few times now! Other than that it is a good width for getting through doors etc, certainly narrower than my Quinny Buzz for ds!
Hope that helps a bit!

MrsNoName - will have a look at your pics, only thing is I worry Lily is too big for some of the pushchairs (weight wise!)

mrs amanda, john lewis stock the baby jogger city select, i'm so glad we went there as they've got loads of doubles (side by sides and tandems) so u can cmare them all in one place and for things like length/weight etc actually put them next to each and compare rather than trying to remember

Lily is about 30lbs which I think may rule out some doubles...she's got long legs too.
Wow Baby - hubby likes the Pear and we've looked at it a few times in a shop near us but I would have to sell my bugaboo and I love my bugaboo lol. I know I could put my car seat on the Pear and I like the idea of having a carry cot. We are off to look again on Saturday and have a few on my list to try Lily in now, so any more recommendations are welcome. I am planning to try Lily in all of them and we will make a decision on Saturday!

I love my cocoon as does Mia so much easier to carry than a carseat (although she's in the cocoon more than the carseat so she actually has taken a proper disliking to carseat boo!) and the pushchair folds quite flat considering how big it is, Lily loves how high up she is and has gone from hating being in a pushchair to actually asking to sit in so am hoping will last us a while...then I will get an equally lovely single buggy!

I love the fact that baby goes in a proper carrycot when she arrives, and even with both in seats still has a HUGE shopping baskets, which is a godsend since I don't drive so am always getting shopping out and about. It is heavy going up and down kerbs, but thats its only downside for me, and think it will be easier when I'm not feeling pathetic at 33 weeks pregnant!
I got mine from Lullaboo baby online and was ??646 for pushchair, 2nd seat and carrycot..far more money than I ever dreamed we'd spend but for us its worth it as use it daily walking!xx
Thanks for all the suggestions. Hubby was relieved to have avoided the dreaded pushchair shop again and has said to just get the sport now so he doesn't have to go on Saturday looking! xxxx
I love the Britax one, but it is massive. It doesn't fit in our boot and it doesn't fit through our front door.
Maximum - I do like the Vibe but the compromise with hubby is that if I get the sport I can keep my bugaboo but if I get the vibe the bugaboo has to go...and I am not ready to part with it yet lol. Let me know how you get on with it tho!

Doesn't that give a problem with the raincover? We were looking at it, but second is due in february, so lots of bad weather and don't really want to buy a pushchair we can't use the raincover on. :S
