double buggy - small lift HELP!

7 replies

Hi
I am due to have my second baby in January. My first will be about 19months old so we need a double buggy which will accommodate a newborn and a toddler. Only problem is our very small lift. It's 95cm by 100cm and the door width is 70cm. Is there any double buggy on the market which we could use without me collapsing everything and dealing with a hyper toddler and screaming toddler at the same time?? I've only got two arms afterall!
Please help!

I don't think there is a side by side double that will fit. It's been a while since I looked at this but I think the narrowest is a a Mountain Buggy which is about 73-74 cm wide.
I don't know about tandems or Phil and Ted type things though. Do you share the lift? What does anyone else have?

P&T would be an option i would imagine.

I have a large tandem and have never found a lift I couldn't fit in. Even if it means going in at an angle. Haven't measured anything though.

I don't envy your task - I have a Bruin umbrella fold tandem which is quite small but it's still over 100cm long. I used to have a P&T and know that is long too so don't think that would fit.
Is there anyway you could store a buggy at ground level and use a sling to carry baby or toddler up and down?

Thanks for your wisdom everyone. There's nowhere to store anything at ground level unfortunately. I'm going to look into the P&T as i think with a bit of jiggling we might be able to get it in diagonally.

do you know anyone nearby that has a P&T? (If you don't know anyone, you could try looking for a MNer) might be worth borrowing 1 to check - remember to check it in both modes so you don't get stuck 6months down the line! :)

i found it easier to get P&T in small lift than Bugaboo Bee weirdly.
