want a double buggy

linz0209 · Dec 30, 2008 7:41AM

I bought a brand new buggy from ebay £80 inc raincover. Brand new in box but it is a little bulky and heavy. Can anyone sugguest another one thats more practical. I know phil and teds are the best but I aint got that type of money. I want to try and get it second hand. The one I have will be fine going the school and what not but for getting to town and the likes its gonna be a pain. Any ideas wil be very grateful.

buggies are just too tempting... the minute the i candy pear was advertised i had to have it so the minute the pink line flashed up on the pt i googled it lol!!! any escuse, although its only the 2nd buggy ive payed for, we were given a maclaren techno xt!

We have a Graco Stadium Duo and I love it.We had one of these for 5 years till it got damaged in a car accident so I had to buy another one the same.They sell them in Argos,Toys R Us.I got one from Germany(think it was through e-bay )cos I wanted a blue one to match my car seat.I'm fussy like that.It takes a car seat in the back,but can also go flat.It's quite long but I think all tandems are.The back seats quite high so both babies can see out.It has a massive shopping basket.Ihave seen a couple of buggies down the school that just look like singles and they're umbrella fold but they have 2 seats.Don'tknow how comfy,but I'd think they're quite lightweight.Think they might be McLaren not sure.
Harry and Bridie broke their 1st tandem cos I got a cheap secondhand one.Ibought it in a hurry after getting stuck in Iceland with one of those side by side ones.Learnt my lesson.I hated that pram.Depends how much money you can spend and how much you'll use it.We have to use our Graco everyday

Laura i love the icandy buggies is the pear the double? I saw someone with an icandy double in tesco one day and I couldn't stop looking at it!! It looked so shiny and smart!!

I quite like them cosatto double buggies that say you and me, they're cute. Im still trying to sell my 3 wheeler so I can buy an umbrella fold buggy, no one wants to buy it though and Sean said Im not allowed the next one til the cosatto has sold

theoldwomanwholivesinashoe · Nov 11, 2008 9:57AM

Those cosattos are side by side aren't they?Can be a pain for getting stuck places.We only have a single door on our local Iceland,although a double going in.I got in but couldn't get out cos the double door was automatic and only works going in.I went out and bought a tandem that week.I have been tempted cos they're nice but I'm not allowed any more pushchairs.I've got 6!I've got more pushchairs than shoes.

I love having a few different buggies really handy if you leave one in the boot of the car etc

x.Laura.x · Nov 11, 2008 11:57AM

yep the pears the double! its a gorgeous piece of equipment and does it all, as far as we need it too, but i sure am gonna build some muscles getting it about lol

theoldwomanwholivesinashoe · Nov 11, 2008 1:03PM

2 in the van,2 in the hallway 2 in the shed.I'd like a triple cos Arwen will be less than 2 and a half,but I think that'll be a monster pushchair,monster price too.I'll just have to be mean and make her walk.
You get good exercise with a double pushchair.Takes a bit of practice but people tend to get out the way,or you can mow them all down.I just lokked at that pear.Just got to think of an excuse now

x.Laura.x · Nov 11, 2008 1:09PM

i LOVE my pear, and you could always put a buggy board on it, as its one that can be a single its not very long like alot of them, ive used mine with 1 and 3yr old in it and then a buggy board aswel, wasnt to difficult getting about just avoided hills lol!

theoldwomanwholivesinashoe · Nov 11, 2008 1:19PM

My graco can't take a buggy board,at least it's not a very good fit,that's what the mothercare lady said.Not sure if the pear can do one seat facing forward one back.Ihave to look into it

x.Laura.x · Nov 11, 2008 1:32PM

the rule the pear is the seats face the same way, this dissapointed me a bit but its to do with weight and balance etc so understandable, the only exception is if you have upper car seat adaptors then the carseat faces you toddler away, but ive found if i have the seats facing me i can see over the closest to child behind!

theoldwomanwholivesinashoe · Nov 11, 2008 6:30PM

Iwant to see it from the back.They should have had another camera angle.Going to do some research.This looks nice .Might be big enough for 3?
