Double Buggy for newborn and toddler

Mumof42009 · May 9th, 2009, 06:38 AM

I need help from you lovely bnb ladies

I need to buy a double buggy for my new bubs and my dd who will be just 3 i will only be using it to nursery and shopping when oh is at work.
I use the bus 4 times a day so would have to be lightweight and fit through the aisle on the bus.
I would prefer one where i could put baby in a carseat as if its prem it will be more snug than being swamped in there.
Dont want big graco ugly thing as used one before and i cant get on with them.
Cant spend loads as still want a main pram for when dd walks or if im with mum she can push dd in her buggy.
Can anyone help please???? I do like the jane twin but looks heavy and expensive

Hun i would say take a look at the phil & teds as it converts to a single buggy too! so when your eldest no longer needs it you can just use it as a single for baby.

I had one with my son and it was lovely

Edited to add: The Phil & Teds has a cocoon for newborns so they are all snuggly.. x

I have looked at it and really like the (hiding now) PINK one the apple colour is nice as well the only thing was i really wanted the baby to face me in them early days

have you had a look at maclaren? they're designed to fit theu doorways, so i'd think they'd go down the bus? they lay flat for newborn xx

I have just been googling double pushchairs and TBH not alot of them have rear facing,

The First wheels twin city has but its a side by side
Bebe confort twin club is a single frame but seem hard to find!
Plus there is the new I Candy which i believe can be converted to a single!

Can't you let the 3 year old walk and use a buggy board/seat when they're tired?

Yep thats what i suggest as well, my son is just turning 3 next month and we don't use the double anymore, plus as he is growing any front/back pram will be extremely heaver with you toddler in

Baby.love thanks for doing that hun

Im going to look at the buggy boards do they fit most pushchairs? Do you find they get in the way when your walking? thanks everyone x
