The back seat lies flat great for my daughter whos 5 weeks, i just wish that the front seat could lie back slightly. It took us ages to decide which one to buy and im still not sure if we have got the right one. Take your time to decide to make sure you get it right yourself.
sorry for butting in
ne1 recommend a good double buggy?
I've just logged on to ask exactly that same question.
I'm due in August and George will be 18 months old then. I was thinking of gettin a Graco travel system so I can use George's old car seat with it but I think a double travel system is gonna be way too heavy to lift into the boot of the car. Has anyone tried one??
Now I've read all your comments on double buggies, they sound better but now I have even more to think/stress about ?

Im honestly found this one of the hardest decisions, cause i cant afford to make a mistake gotta buy the right one first time, ive heard of loads of ppl who like buy 5- 6 prams cause they cant decide . Mad !!
hI Suzydee sorry cant really comment on double travel system, but does sound rather heavy but agree its very stressfull i thinking that i may never decide and just buy a sling and use that. arrrh!!!
i would def think about how much you are going to be using your double as this really influences what sort you will buy. hope this helps.xxx
Jennie&Evie- I've thought of doing the sling thing. I had one of those Bjorn front baby carriers for George but I did find it heavy on my front if I walked a good distance so I think I'd be knackered pushing a pushchair aswell!
I'm glad I'm not the only one getting stressed about this lol.
Pen - Thanks for your advice. It wouldn't be such an issue but I walk LOADS. Both from home and out and about from the car so yeah, there's lots to think about!
Cheers
Its great if your on a budget like me, I would have gone for the phil&teds one, but i think it may have been to big for my boot. As well as costing more han we could afford.
I cant say as i notice that one side has more weight than the other. you get 2 extra changable straps, and seat covers.Great if you can get them on. I cant.
My other choice is the new gracco stadium duo but then my toddler can't really have a lay down as he often falls asleep in the car. And my last choice is the Phil&Ted sport.
My baby will be here in two weeks!!

i took months and months to find a double suitable fo my 2 babies, 19 months and 5 weeks.
my 19 month old is massive so i had real trouble finding one he could fit in!!
i tied the maclaren triumph double but found the seat was to small for hin, i tried the phil and ted but the doubles kit wasnt sturdy enough to hold him in, i tried the maclaren techno but was really heavy and i tried a tandem but there was no chance with his weight in the front!!!
in the end i was torn between the nipper360 and the mamas and papas twin pulse, i bought the twin pulse as it was a buggy fold and was more practical in the car but i am getting the nipper 360 as well as its a lightweight 3 wheeler and is great as a walking pram!!!
who would have thought buying a pram could be so hard!!
GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!

This is soooo strange I saw a lady in the park today who told me she bought the mamas &papas twin pulse as she thought the seats where the same size as her single buggy, is this true, is this why you went for it because your toddler could fit into it?
Thank you, Debs xx
i wouldnt say the seat is as big as my single maclaren but it was the most spacious seat i could find for him on a double!!
he is a big lad for 19 months (he weighs 2 stone 6!!) and i knew i had found the right buggy when he actually stayed sat in it!! ( he wouldnt stay sat in any of the others)!!
hope this helps

Thank you for all your help, who would of thought it could be so hard to choose a double buggy. I shouldn't have such big babies!
