After a few moments deliberation I decided to go for it and get a double, just a cheapy Graco but its good reviews and should do the job nicely.

My mumma's bought it for me out of some money my Nan left us

I looked at that one, it's got good reviews. I nearly had a breakdown in mothercare at the weekend trying to decide between double buggies
It will definitely come in handy to have one xx

I'm sort of glad that I can't really try them out because otherwise I would NEVER pick one. I just go by the price and reviews lol.

We were just having a quick look round when the sales assistant decided to show us how they all worked and gave us a catalogue to go home and stress over too, big mistake! It is easier if you just pick one with good reviews and go for it! xx

mrs.mb have a look in the sell section bumpwatcher is selling a phil and teds double - we also had a look on ebay and there are quite a few for reasonable prices

We have an Argos Clearance shop near us which does the Mamas & Papas Aria Twin's for £90. I got one when I was pg with Lily and they are good.

I love my vango as C has now decided no buggy board so my britax is suddenly useless unless i make her walk. This week ive been using her little stroller and carrying awen or both in the vango instead. Dont know how easy they are to get in uk though i got mine from ebay

aw thats really nice!! bet you cant wait for it to come!!!

keep a look out mrsb on ebay always grab a bargin I did with my icandy pear!! no way I would have been able to afford one other wise all the bits Iv got your talking £1500 new!!! I got for £300!! whoop xx

Em I really wanted an Icandy too they're so nice!
But I would never be able to get one from e-bay over here... i'm only getting this one off kiddiecare as my mum is over in UK next week so can bring it back for me otherwise Id be watching e-bay lke a hawk

Thatrs really nice and a good price xx

that's a good one to happy i just went for the cheapest as I dont know how much use I'll get out of it. both good bargains though!

See I keep changing my mind between wanting a side by side or a tandem. If I could just make a decision I'd be on the look out for bargains! xx

I've read better things about the tandems rather than side by side like side by side I think are better for twins as the weight on both sides is the same but with a toddler and baby can quite difficult to handle. erm doesn't fit in shops and doors as easily and might not fit easily in car boot takes up more space etc.

There the reasons I went for tandem anyway

Thats really nice Jade. Probably what I would have picked had my mum not bought off ebay before consulting me Ha, only joking, I cant complain as she paid and im not convinced how much it will get used anyway with it being winter and then Caitlin is 3 the following Summer. (Mine is a side by side & I am worried about doors etc - it does fit in my tiny boot but which alot of those fancy tandem type ones's dont)

I think Tyler and Caitlin are going to look like huge giants beside their lil brothers or sisters!

^ you could always sell it on ebay snoops hahaha

Thats what my mum said when she saw the crinkle in my nose haha!

Am I the only one not getting a double pushchair?!
I feel like maybe I've been stupid and you all know something I don't. I just figured Imogen would walk with me or i'd get her a buggy board. Also if Matt is around (and tbh i don't go anywhere for a long time without him or someone else) then we could push a buggy each. I have a travel system for baby boy &the zia for Immi.

Shell I didnt think I needed one either - certainly wouldnt have spent £80 of my own money on ebay on it. I too planed on using either buggy board or putting Caitlin in stroller and newborn in her old travel system when out as a family. Especially as it will be winter, I dont think its gonna get that much use.

BUT after reading a few threads on here I am kinda glad my mum bought the double. Just for trips to Dr's for jabs in 1st cpl months if im on my own and stu working. If Caitlin decides she aint walking it would be a nightmare trying to control her and a pram. I did a pratcise trip to town last week with the reigns and she literally went off in any direction or just through herself on the floor. That and a 9am Dr appointment with a newborn in the snow is a recipe for disaster!

How good is immi at walking where you want? All kids are different, you may be fine x

She has good days and bad days. She's a very competant walker and doesn't tire easily but she's independant and will suddenly decide she doesn't want to hold my hand. I don't use reigns as she will have a complete meltdown about them and is much more behaved without them. She is prone to run off but pretty much always comes back after a few steps, she likes to tease and test my patient. Saying that she can be a nightmare some days. I guess if I desperately need a double when baby comes then i'll sell the travel system and invest in a double. A lot can change in 3months. It's hard to know how Imogen will act then.

I got a double because hopefully OH will be working, and I'm planning on having Tyler with me at least 2 day a week and would be nice to take him out ( for us winter is the only time we can all go out really as its cool enough) we took him for a walk the other day and he got half way and then through himself on the floor. no way I coul dcarry him and push a pram I dont think he'd use a buggy board, and he doesn't do holding hands. I couldn't push my pram one handed and hold Tylers reigns either.

so thats why I got th double

I see, makes sense. I guess it depends on the older child. I'll just wait and hope i don't have to rush out and get one!

I had to have one just in case too as it's nto easy to get things lke that over here so it's not like I could say oh I need it lets get it... I'd be waiting for weeks!
