Phil and ted's questions - owners please help!
1. How are they to use?
2. How easy are they to put up and down?
3. Easily movable etc etc?
4. Would you advise some one to get one?
5. What was the age gap between yours when you started using it for 2?
6. If you have the vibe how easy is it to fold up with the doubles kit on? Or do you just take the kit off anyway?
7. Did you use a cocoon or not for new born? Opinions on this!
8. How easy is it off road on beach etc etc?
9. Is the vibe lighter than the sport? Any other differences?

2. See above There is a bit of a knack to unfolding it and ending up with it the right way up, but it's easy enough to do. To fold you press 2 buttons and it hinges in the middle, to unfold it's one button to release the lock, then just unfold it.
3. It's brilliant to manouver about, it's quite long and wide for a single, but much smaller than other doubles and it still easy enough to push now with both my 2 in, a combined weight of about 65lb!!
4. Definitely. I love it, I've switched to using it full time as a single now, and that's in preference to my much loved Bugaboo.
5. 22 months
6. Don't know, I've got the sport
7. The cocoon is lovely, and makes a really nice travel bed for naps and things as well, but it's not very big. Barney was out of it by 12 weeks, but if you aren't expecting a big baby then I would definitely get one.
8. This is one of my favourite things about it. I use it loads off road and it will go through anything. It also comes on holiday with us and will even work ok on the sand with two in, although you do need to be a bit strong for that. With one baby in it works better than the stroller we used to take.
9. Not sure, I bought the sport because I liked the look of it better!!

How old roughly was your eldest when she didn't need the buggy REGULARLY?
How do you find storing the sport - witht he seperate double bit? We don't have much storage room but I feel the second double would just sit on top of the rest of the buggy when in the house - is that an accurate assumption??? Does the main buggy need to lean against a wall to stand up??
Is getting the second seat on and off easy?
THANKS
We cheat with storage, it goes in the garage!!! The doubles seat takes up no room at all off the pushchair, it will fold flat so it just leans against the wall. I think the pushchair will stand up folded, but we have plenty of room in the garage so I don't fold it, just wheel it in Taking the seat off is really easy, you just push in two little pin things and slide it off, it litteraly takes seconds. When you are using the doubles seat on top (for a toddler and newborn) you can actually fold the pushchair with it on as well, it's just when it's on the back you can't.

Did you decide to stay where you are?
Plus we looked at houses in the areas that would be commutable for hubby and we would not get a house like we have now, which is poo! So the plan is to try and pay as much off the mortgage as we can and save a little bit more to make a move in the future easier. Hopefully house prices will lower and our house will go up in value(lol) so it'll be easier. Hubby did suggest seeing if we could look to move while on maternity leave so it is still on the cards - but how we'd afford it on maternity pay I don't know! x
Bedhead I did have more questions about the P&T but I have forgotten them now! Sure they will come back to me!
We've got the vibe, used it as a single pushchair before for a couple of months before no. 2 arrived, now using it with my 22 month and 3 month old.
1. Very easy, once you get the knack like with any pushchair/pram.
2. I used to find it really hard to fold the clips down, but realised that the handle needs to be in highest up position and folds no probs!
3. VERY easy, far easier than my single pram even with 2 children in it!
4. Yes and I have, 2 of my friends have now bought P&T's for no2's and a no3.
5. 19 months
6. You can only fold it with the double kit on when its underneath, so havn't as yet (I can try it though if you want)
7. Yes and I love it! so easy to get her and out safely.
8. Only used it occasionally off road and it was fine, the beach was okay but hard work!
9. Vibe is lighter, easier to fold and you can adjust the hood, so if like me child 1 is tall we can move it up, on the sport you can't and when we tested it, it was sat on his head! (If that makes sense).
I got it on line for a really good price, including the Vibe, doubles kit, cacoon and double rain cover.
Hope this helps

Do you mind if I ask what kind of car you drive and if it fits in your boot easily? Also (sorry, one more question!) where online did you buy it from?
Thanks!
I've got a Renault Scenic and hubby has a Lexus IS200 and it fits no probs in both.

I am after the sport (i think not sure of the differences)
I am wondering as baby in due in july, i am not so keen on using the caccon. My LO will be nearly 2 years old and i am wondering (as i wont be out for a long time) if the car seat can be used on top with my toddler sat underneath. Any feedback would be gr8. Also if anyone has any FB on the baby jogger city mini doulbe.
Thanks ladies. My eledest was 2 1/2 when olly was born and very tall and able so i didnt get a double then but this time i think its essential
