Which double buggy?
Hi all, my lo will be 2yrs and 2 months when bubs is born and I live in London so walk almost everywhere so will need a double. Question is which one? So far have looked at Phill & Teds which seems most suited to London but I'm not sure I like the place for the newborn. I'm liking the Mountain Buggy urban double but it's wide and costly.......any ideas very welcome!

Ollie will be 22 months when the next one is born but he can walk quite a way and this one is perfect for us. He can sit down or stand up all harnessed in, and we can use our old car seat with it as well for when baby is very young, due to a universal fitting and straps, so it saved a lot of money for us that way... there are some good deals on ebay at the moment and you can get a brand new one for about ??180. we got an offer on ours so we got a cosy toes with it as well as a rain cover (that works with both children in the pram) and had it delivered, all for ??176 from a place called mums and bumps.
In shops it costs around ??200 to buy.
It is lightweight, and the same size folded/unfolded as our single pram (urban detour extreme) so it fits perfectly into the car.
the only down side to it is the wheels are a bit plasticky, but thats compared the the UDE where we've been spoilt with rubber air filled ones - the mia moda is very smooth on its wheels so it doesnt deter from the pram.
Its also great because the older child feels like they have a sense of freedom, whilst mummy is reassured because they are harnessed in
Can you tell I love it
(it does also have bottle holders but i doubt i'll be using them...)

I didnt like the phil and teds tandem style prams because one of the kids is basically sitting in the shopping basket making it useless for going shopping and it looks so uncomfy!
And we couldnt have a side by side as a lot of our shops are in 'quirky' buildings - listed ones as well - so the doorways are all too narrow to get a sidebyside in. Plus our pavements aren't very wide walking into town anyway and there's the dog to consider as well...
