Double buggy toddler and newborn

Looking for recommendations for a double buggy that can accommodate a toddler and a newborn. Ideally side by side, not too wide and not too expensive, but I’m also happy to look at secondhand. Thanks!

out n about 360. Loved mine, it was light and bit too wide

I have the bugaboo donkey duo. People rave about it but I feel it’s too bulky.

I've brought the mountain buggy duet, it's very narrow and surprisingly light.

Interested in this thread?

Baby jogger city mini
Light, narrow for any doorway, lies flat, massive hoods, easy to collapse, huge basket underneath
I absolutely loved mine!

Ive always had tandems and loved my Phil and Ted's dot but if you want side by side my sister has a mountain buggy duet which she loves. It's very narrow and really great to push even one handed

Mountain buggy duet. Get one. You honestly won't regret it. Also retains its resale value.

How olds the toddler? I didn’t bother and just had a buggy board.

Another vote for baby jogger city mini. It's very nice to push and very narrow for small spaces including the buses. Only thing is that means my baby is a little restricted in the bassinet as it's quite a tight space!

Thanks for all of the suggestions, there’s a few there for me to have a look at 😊

@LittleBearPad toddler will be approx 20 months but I’m not keen on the idea of a buggy board (although this would be ideal if a little more practical). A friend has the same buggy as us and sometimes uses a board but it makes it incredibly difficult to push and impossible to cross the road without toddler hopping off and back on. It’s probably better with some buggies than others but I think it would just put me off getting out and about as much and we currently do a lot of walking.

We had the smaller out n about, it was fine. Can't remember why we chose the smaller one, I've half an idea it was to do with the basket but not sure.

I also hated the buggy board, we didn't really use it until eldest was older and we'd stopped using the double. Took a while for her to learn she couldn't just step off while the buggy was moving, which she once attempted while we were crossing the road.

Out n about was so light and great. Bulky footplate for folding it up though (I had the 4 wheel version). Fitted in every doorway other than very narrow ones ime

The mountain buggy was good but not for us as my oldest was pretty stocky and didn't look comfy in the seats. He was 19 mths old.

By 2 yr 3 months I used my vista and a buggy board a lot more (we walk miles every day). The extendable handle was key to my comfort as he stood within the handle so I could push easier.

I also had a smaller fold up buggy with a board which I hated. It kept getting in the way and pushing was Impossible.

That’s fair DD was over two so it worked better.
