I'm Currently Feeling: | Double pram advice needed we have decided against the firstwheels double pram as the reviews for time spent dismanteling it to fit through front doors was about 10 minutes! as i walk everywhere and would be doing this every day then i think id loose patience with it!
sooo..... which other double prams would you all recommend??
i was looking at the cosatto you 2 twin stroller but the reviews look pretty bad for stability and comfort too |

| I now have a 3 wheeler XTS twin twister and it's fab. Although quite wide after using a powertwin it's so easy to push and well comfy for the bubs. Don't have a bad word to say about it  I got it on Dionne's recommendation and I can highly recommend it now aswell. Mine only cost £66.50 on Ebay as well lol |

I'm Currently Feeling: | does it fold quite easily? my main concern is that because no twin pram will fit through my front door i will need to fold it down every time i go through the door |

| Folds down and up really easy - it's definately not the smallest folded down but I don't think any doubles are apart from the Maclarens. I keep mine indoors folded down at night and if it's raining and then in the day I put it outside the back door (there is a right of way round the back). |

I'm Currently Feeling: | We've got the Maclaren Twin Techno and I'm pretty happy with it. I walk every day with it and it's holding up pretty well. It folds up quite small. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Kina, your XTS was such a bargain at that price!
Where we live it's rough terrain to get into town and it's a mile downhill in and a mile uphill back and the town is 13th century so very narrow pavements and shop doorways so I knew I wouldn't be able to get a side by side. We've got the Phil and Teds Sport and I love it (admittedly I'm only using it as a single at the moment). I know it has downsides where the baby wont be able to see out for a few months but I've bought some love velcro fix hanging toys for them to look at and after taking all our needs/wants into consideration I do feel like I've got the buggy for us.
Good luck - do you have a big store nearby where you can go and play with them all and compare? I found that really useful being able to go from one to the other and experience them side by side. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Meant to add that you can sorta collapse the buggy about an inch or two which helps getting it through doors that are too tight. There's a safety catch on it that stops it totally collapsing. |
