Hi, I'm looking at buggies for my twins due in April, and I already have a 20 month old daughter. The ones I'm trying to find information on are Zoom buggy, Urban mountain, Easywalker duowalker and jane powertwin. Does anyone have any comments on any of these i.e. how easy they are to manouver, fold etc. Whether seats have to be taken off to fold. Weight etc. I've looked on some other threads but maybe those people have now chosen a buggy and can comment. Thanks

I have a mountain buggy terrain and it's fantastic. would recommend it to anyone.
it's light, it's easy to use, it's super-durable, easy to manouevre.
it folds easily but it is BIG when folded. you don't have to take the seats off to fold it, but if you were using carrycot(s) they have to come off to fold

I've got MB terrain too, an old one. It looks fab, not all plasticky. It's wheels don't swivel tho so you have to push it hard round corners. But you can pile it high with stuff and it's got soul (man)

Hello! My twins are due in April too!! After much thought/looking on internet/reading other threads, I decided to go for the Zoom. A little bit risky as you can't actually see them in the flesh yet as they haven't arrived in the country. The reason for my choice being (a) it takes two car seats, (b) you can have any combination of any seats facing in any direction - the sweetest being when you put the two pushcair seats facing one another! (c) it can take carrycots, too. You do have to remove all the bits before you fold it up, but it does look relatively small-ish folded, BUT, as I said, I haven't seen it in the flesh yet! I don't know much about the Jane Powertwin or the others, but I know that on the Jane Twin Two you can fold it with the puschair seats still on, which I thought was a good feature. Although I guess it would be pretty big when folded. Good luck!

p.s. I guess that you have been to the "Twin Prams..." thread? If not, it's worth a read!
