We have a Mamas and Papas Twin Aria that has served the boys well, but - it's has had it's day, getting quite tatty and also, it seems that the young Gents need a tad more room in their little chariot. The problem is, we live in a little old village where the pavements are extra narrow and I can just get through with my Twin Aria (that was one of the narrowest on the market).
Could anyone possibly recommend a buggy that is narrow, side by side (the terrain is rather 'hilly' and roads are quite rough, so need the stability that a side by side buggy offers) but has decent size seats? I could be asking for the moon, I know....
Thank you in advance for any advice!

Hi there
I started with a Bertini pram then moved to the Nipper Instep which was lovely for a year or so but my boys were getting big so have now opted for the Mothercare Double Urban Detour which ,so far has been really good.

It is light , you can open with one hand ( though you do need space in boot ). My boys love it and sleep really well in it .They are upright and have a bumper bar .

The Mountain Buggy Double is supposed to be good also though quite pricey. It might also be an idea to look at the Mumsnet product pushchair review pages.

I picked up my Double Detour second hand from a mumsnetter for a great price .

Good Luck !

Meant to say ..my boys are 18 months old.

The Urban Detour is a three wheeler with option for fixed wheel or movable wheel .

Am rambling now but seems only a little wider than the Instep Nipper ( Which may be the narrowest on market )

Do consider the nipper. I have one for my 2 (2.4 and 7 months) and my friend with 2.5 year old twins loves her.

love my double nipper, had it from birth and my dts are now 21 mths

Thank you all for your suggestions, much appreciated! Will start hunt on eBay, hopefully will find one in a good condition but with a slightly less painful price.....

nipper.
I had a single urban detor and loved it, but the nipper is probably lighter, and I lvoed that with my dts.
