...a lightweight twin buggy/pram please? It has to to be a one in front type as our communal hallway is narrow (about 1 and a bit strollers wide) and it has to be as light as possible (to lift and push) as I have a weak spine and also I have a flight of stairs to climb before I can even get to my place.

I think Graco's are quite a heavy brand, I had a Graco for Drew and get fed up lugging it up and down the stairs, we looked at this buggy ( http://www.mothercare.com/Graco-Stadium-Duo-Tandem-Stroller/dp/B003CZ1AEK?ie=UTF8&ref=sr_1_23&nodeId=42804041&sr=1-23&qid=1299844849&pf_rd_r=1S4AASAWZ23RYS8A969B&pf_rd_m=A2LBKNDJ2KZUGQ&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_i=42804041&pf_rd_p=231490867&pf_rd_s=related-tab-3-5 ) but it is 15kg before you even add the car seat and 2 babies!!!

I have also heard that the Silvercross is also really heavy. We don't own a car but we hire one from Hertz as and when we do need a car so it would have to fit in a car which is about a Ford Focus sized boot (a class C/D hire car)

We are not sure about budget as bubs won't be born until mid October so that gives us 7 paydays to save up.

If you have 2 babies what buggy do you have and would you recommend it?

Thanking you muchly in advance xxxxxxxxxxxx

I like that one but it weighs 18.6kg before you've added the babies Sad

What about this one? http://www.mothercare.com/Britax-B-Dual-2011-Model-Pushchair/dp/B004NPFHDS?ie=UTF8&ref=sr_1_10&nodeId=42764041&sr=1-10&qid=1299853870&pf_rd_r=1KS9CE4XS6CRT9VYZ6DF&pf_rd_m=A2LBKNDJ2KZUGQ&pf_rd_t=301&pf_rd_i=0&pf_rd_p=231490887&pf_rd_s=center-7
as you can add the tandem seat (but I can get it for much cheaper than with with the seat and raincover included)

I've told hubby we need a house then there are no stairs to get in and out of lol x

We looked at this but it's quite big and long and heavy. We got a cosato two peas in a pod double, it's brill, fits through most doors and folds quite nicely but still is a bit on the heavy side x

Absolutely 100% recommend the Jane Powertwin, its on offer in babiesrus atm for £299, normally about £500.

I got one from preloved for £130, and its bloody fabulous xx

Nip in babies rus and have a little play with it, see what you think?

You know wriggs.....I bought the Icandy peach, and in many ways it was lovely..but I sold it because the main seat is no good for any child bigger than say 18mths-2yrs, even though it says 3.

Really difficult to put baby in the carrycot with the bars in the way too

So not worth the money! xxx

I remember you posting that Lisa!

I actually thought the same about the pear seats, they always looked quite small too!

They are just so expensive! I love the icandy range i loved my icandy cherry! Was gutted it didnt grow to a double too!!
