Please help me to decide which double to get....

Hi all. I am in the situation that I will soon need a double. DD will be 14 months when lo is born.
Budget is a bit of a consideration - but not too much as I expect it will be getting a fair bit of use over time.
I think I have really narrowed it down to a Mountain Buggy double, Baby Jogger City Select or maybe the new Bugaboo Donkey.

I would like the newborn to be able to lie flat at first and I would like them to be able to face forwards/back, have individually reclining seats and sun shades etc. I have considered the iCandy but think they look a little cramped although I have not met one in the flesh.

I does need to be very easy to fold as I have a permanent left should issue to contend with.

If it could be used with a maxi-cosi car seat that would be a bonus.

I know I have a huge list of wants - but any advice/experience would be appreciated - seriously need to start looking!

my thinking exactly nic! i love the idea of dd and me being able to chat to ds!Smilebut the fact either child could go in either seat (because they both lay flat) is really great!

i could not have resisted the erge,i'd have already used it by now! [impatient emoticon]

Are both seats forward facing only? Or can the top one face you?

clumsymumluckybaby · 30/12/2010 20:42

top one faces you!Grin

Was going to ask if you ladies had bought any of the accessories?

clumsymumluckybaby · 30/12/2010 20:48

was thinking about the cup holder...i do like a coffeeGrin

clumsymumluckybaby · 30/12/2010 20:51

also,ive come to the conclusion that no buggy is perfect!!!

ive had alot of them and it's about compromise,what works for you wont work for everyone,there will be bad reviews,but there are alot of good reviews for this one!you can always return it,or sell it on ebay (or here)if its not 'the one'!

I know clumsy, just having a moment Smile.

Don't think I'm quite as experienced as you in the pushchair dept by the sounds of it!
