Can't decided, keep getting mixed reviews and can't afford to spend a fortune.

Thanks x

Phil and reds

I loved my nipper 360. Bought it 2nd hand in excellent condition and sold it on for a good price too. Lovely to push, goes across all terrain and lightweight.

RunningBetty · 11/08/2017 17:18

Loved the nipper 360. I ended up buying the single version of it when double was no longer needed.

AcademicOwl · 11/08/2017 17:19

Nipper 360. Bloody amazing.

Monny1 · 11/08/2017 17:23

Jane double buggy, really sturdy. Great buggy.

Borntoflyinfirst · 11/08/2017 17:37

When my own children were little I had a Mothercare Urban Detour double. Big red side by side thing and I loved it. We have a big car so no problem with that and somewhere to store in the house too but it was big and bulky. I had a 'thing' about not wanting one child behind the other! Saying that when I was childminding I got a Phil & Teds which was much easier in confined spaces on the school run! Still didn't really like putting one child underneath but they didn't seem to mind!

Another vote for baby jogger city mini. i've got the gt version and love it. Expensive new but I got mine 2nd hand

ShaneBitchy · 11/08/2017 17:56

Nipper 360, loved it. Was a lifesaver for walking my dogs when kids were small. Could push it one handed with 2 kids in and hold 2 dogs in the other hand.

Fiduciaryfandango · 11/08/2017 18:44

Nipper 360 without a doubt. What a pram. I bought the single once my eldest had outgrown a pram.

Buy it!!!

Sixgeese · 11/08/2017 18:54

I loved my Phil and teds sport. 2 yrs between dc. It was a huge weight but an easy push and fitted in my fiat 500 boot (wheels off). I spent a fortune on buggies. It was my 3rd, last, best.

Laquila · 11/08/2017 19:06

Phil and Ted's Explorer was brilliant - I wanted something I could use a single too. I got it for £80 and sold it on for the same. God I loved that buggy for the first 9ish months of having a newborn and a lazy 2.5yr old - it was a bloody lifesaver!

YouCantBeSadHoldingACupcake · 11/08/2017 20:00

My favourite was probably one of my cheapest, a Graco trekko duo sport. So easy to push and barely bigger than a single. I also love the abc design zoom tandem, which is also easy to push, but can be a bit difficult to get up kerbs with a heavy child in the front

NoFucksImAQueen · 11/08/2017 20:58

Duet. Like the 360 to push but the smallest side by side so fits through standard doors.

arghhelpme · 11/08/2017 21:13

I have a baby jogger city mini double gt, a my air duo and a p&t.

Use them for my nearly 3yo twins. The best out of them is probably the baby jogger.

I like the my air duo as it can be rear facing, has a huge basket that is easy to get into and the hoods are big like the baby jogger. It is difficult to steer with one hand though so if one child wants to walk for a bit I tend to struggle.

I have the newer p&t sport or navigator, not actually sure which one it is but has the brake on the handle. This one is better for the school run on narrow paths or when I want to nip to the shops. It's easy to get into the house when the children fall asleep in it, the others block my door way so I have to take DTs out which normally wakes them up.
I find it really easy to push and steer with one hand though, basket isn't great and I always seem to get a puncture.

Baby jogger is easy to steer and push with one hand and has nice big hoods, I find the basket an ok size but it is awkward to get into it. Can't put big things in it where as I can with the my duo. It is nice and simple to fold.

StorminaBcup · 11/08/2017 21:15

Refurbed Phil and Teds navigator, bought when I had a 2.5yr Old and a new born. Both children asleep at the same time. Best money ever spent!

saleorbouy · 11/08/2017 21:26

Bugaboo donkey was great for or two born 2years apart as it was flexible from single to double and back to single when the eldest was able to walk more. A great bit of kit but did need to be dismantled a bit to get it small enough for packing in the boot for holidays. For everyday jaunts it was fine. My wife doesn't drive so walked miles weekly with it full of shopping and offspring. Not cheap but flexible enough to change with your family's needs.

Ebisu · 11/08/2017 21:29

Have a third hand 360 nipper and love it! Def would recommend!

Nicae · 11/08/2017 21:37

Joie Aire Twin - v light, folds flat and v spacious. I bought a Bugaboo Donkey and hated it, as did my toddler - replaced it with the Joie and never looked back.

cushiemoy · 11/08/2017 21:39

Another vote for Nipper 360

OuiMerci · 11/08/2017 21:43

Nipper 360. Even fitted in the back of a black cab (unfolded).

IWantABlueBanana · 11/08/2017 21:44

I love my graco quatro tour, the basket holds so much. I do have to jump on the back to get up pavements but its bloody sturdy and safe.

For a stroller I use a obaby apollo just to totter about on the school run/on holiday and it is really shit!!

Catsize · 11/08/2017 21:50

City jogger mini double. It has been utterly brilliant. And I don't still occasionally put my giant 3 and 5 year old children in it. Nor did I get it in a black cab at the weekend with them sleeping inside it. Oh no, not I...
