If anyone on here has the above double pram could you tell me what size boot you can fit yours into please?

I have a corsa at the moment but think I have to get a bigger car once the next baby arrives. Just wondering how big I need to go to in order to fit this pram in.

I was thinking about a Phil and Teds but a few reviews have put me off them.

Any advice on amount of boot space I will need for a doube 360 nipper would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I don't have a Out N About Nipper but can recommend the P&T (I think they are bit like Marmite - you either love them or hate them)

I quite like the look of the Mountain Buggy double or the ABC Adventure buggy, but have P&T so can't justify a new set of wheels

I have an astra but couldn't fit out n about in the boot when we went to mothercare to look at doubles so am very exicted to be getting aa p&t next week (will then be 34 weeks with DC2)as I really need a 3 wheeler off roader with the amount of walking we do

Thanks for replies.

Washersaurus - do you know what size boot the phil and teds fits into. Any chance of it fitting into a corsa

I got my 360 double in my brothers Peogeot (sp?) 206 which has quite a small boot. They kind of fold flatish so tall and long bit thin. You can easiler pop the back wheels off as well to get into smaller spaces.
I didn't think Mothercare did Out n about nippers?

Personally I hated the phil and teds, very heavy to lift and use. I had a Nipper, then got a Phil and teds as I thought they would be better but it made my wrists really hurt after a little while of pushchair, also couldn't do it one handed very easily. Sold it and got a nipper again! So relieved to get something light to use again.

I have fitted the P&T into lots of small cars including my sisters old Fiesta, but on occasions I have had to pop one of the wheels off - I can't remember if that was my sister's or my mum's little car. I've never not managed to fit it in a boot anyway.

Thanks again everyone.

I am really swaying between the 360 double and the phil and teds. Especially if they will both fit into an average sized car boot.

Swaying more I think to the 360 as it is cheaper, never read a bad review about it, and my now toddler will fit into the 360 for longer.

Go with the Nipper definitely. I wasted an absolute fortune on a P&T vibe then bought the Nipper after just 3 months. It is so much lighter and easier to manouevre and both DCs seem more comfortable. My toddler will even nap in it which he never did in the P&T.

As to how much space they take up in a car boot I'd say the P & T and Nipper are about the same - just different shapes. The Nipper folds very flat but needs quite a bit of floor space whereas the P&T is fatter but narrower if you see what I mean.

i have taken a risk and ordered the nipper without trying in the boot of my golf - but i saw another blog that says it would fit in a golf so fingers crossed. The folded measurements are on all stockists websites so why don't you measure your boot?
Plus i heard that a lot of people just pop the wheels off which is really easy to do.
I have only tested the p&t and nipper in a shop but hated the p&t in comparison (but then again i do a lot of walking rather than shopping and ds1 is still very young)

Thanks. Think it is the 360 for me.
