Double pram recommendations?

Hello everyone :)
I am pregnant due early August and I have a 7 month old daughter already who will be 14 months when next baby is here. I’m looking for recommendations for a double pram preferably one that is easy to fold up and not too heavy as I live on a second floor flat and landlord wants the pram to be carried up the stairs which is difficult to say the least even now. Currently have silver cross dune but use car seat adapter a lot for the pram. I also use buses so something that wouldn’t be too difficult to get on and off the bus if possible or any tips.

Thanks in advance :)

I'm a childminder and I love any of the baby joggers. Easy to fold and reasonably compact when folded. I have the city mini GT and would buy another if I ever needed to.

Have you considered using your single alongside a sling for either child?

Mountain buggy duet. Easy to fold, moves incredibly easily, and it definitely fits on buses (I'm in London and use mine on the bus most days). Not sure I'd want to be carrying it upstairs on a regular basis though, but that may be true of most double buggies given they'll all be on the bigger and therefore heavier side

Interested in this thread?

We stuck with the single and a sling for the first 6 months and then switched to a buggy board...realised they're annoying because they're right where you want to walk so you can push the buggy, and eventually got a second hand Out and About Nipper for £100 on fb marketplace. I love it! It's narrow enough to fit through most doors, has decent storage, works as a running buggy, folds up flat enough to be out of the way in the house. The wheels come off really easily if you need it to be even smaller. The only niggle is the sunshades aren't great, but I imagine there's a hack/product you could buy to resolve that if you were so inclined.

Seconded. It fitted on all sizes of buses and through single doors. We were temporarily in a second floor flat with no lift when DC2 was newborn but a cupboard downstairs was made available for the buggy which was a lifesaver. Wouldn't want to carry that around much.

When DC1 was being a pickle and wouldn't walk up or down stairs I was taking DC2 in the carrycot attachment, leaving her halfway up and down and going back for DC1 and repeat.

I was a big fan of slings as well but a double was invaluable too so they could both sleep and I could be hands free and enjoying a coffee. We were out all day everyday in it.
