Double buggy advice/information


Thinking ahead I know but I want to a little bit and many of you have had double buggys with 2 kiddies if not loads of double buggys

Is there any lightweight doubles that one side can have a carrycot on for first couple of months?

I have the icandy apple - swore by it at first but I think I'm wanting a new one when time comes & not turn it into a pear!

Hi Wobbles,

Hope you dont mind me replying, I can recommend one NOT to get lol. I had the first wheels one (dunno if you have seen it) available in mothercare (I got from internet), I do love it but it come with some flaws. It is heavy, the little front wheels get caught on bumps, it is difficult to get round in shops as it is so wide, and finally I have to collapse it outside my house cos it is too wide to fit through a normal front door, bit of a nightmare with a toddler and baby.

Sorry I couldnt be more help

Yer I've seen the first wheels I liked the single until I seen the Apple but a girl who was once on here had a LIME GREEN one in the double it was RANK & blinding to the eye so I'd never touch one I don't think It looked heavy and bulky as well actually.

How old are your LOs Tasha?

it even converts to a single again when you dont need it as a double

Sorry no offence to those that have the lime one



Just didn't look right with 2 pink ladies.

Like the style in generally - I actually LOVED the blue one in single but the double did look bulky yet the only one I know that attachs a carrycot!

We don't drive so want lighter so we can hog around easily (buses etc) & also so grandparents etc can take a buggy easily! I'm actually in the middle of changing my icandy into a smaller lightweight buggy because imo its too heavy for my OHs Mum when she has Caitlin weekends in fact shes never taken it! Do love it though don't regret my buy but I defo need to move on from it having 2!

*ramble*

I'll look at those links though thanks x
