am trying to remember the name of an oldsih pushchair that starts with B has a reversible seat unit, similar to a wayfarer?

i did a lot of research, cos i had the trophy air 6 before I had the twin club, but everywhre i read that they weren't compatible.
i'll be honest and say i can't remember if it had the regular modulo-clip fixings or whether they were slightly longer/bigger.

I guess it's possible that you could force it onto a trophy chassis.. the problem is that it would maybe make it unstable. the chassis for the twin club is a reasonable amount longer than the trophy chassis so that the end doesn't tip down, so i wouldn't b e happy using it like that personally just in case.

it was fine to push on even ground, but not easy to get up curbs. pushed round town like a dream! (and had lots of comments on it!)
any tandem pushchair is going to be heavy up front though simply because of how they're built

you ideally need the lighter child in the front seat, which means your newborn is far away from you! I had ds3 in a carrycot on the front, with ds2 in the seat facing me, but that meant I couldn't recline his seat because the carrycot was too long. when they were both in seats I had them facing each other, which was nice, but as I say, your smaller baby is furthest from you.

also, it comes with a raincover for each seat. which is fine in theory, except for when it rains the rain runs off the covers, between the 2 seats and down into the shopping basket and makes your shopping all wet.

Yes that's the one i had but DD never seemed to like it all that much.

thisis, that is so helpful! It would be my fourth double pushchair to date and I only have one child! My twin sister had a baby a week after me, they're now 10 months old and we spend a lot of time together so we often use a double. They're 18lb and 21lb ish so I'd put my daughter in the front and my niece at the back. We obviously wouldn't need carrycots now. I'd thought the raincover situation was a bit weird but a tandem raincover might do the job. We live in Birmingham so don't really need it to be good on rough terrain-we've got singles to do that job anyway.
Thanks for the thorough review!

did you specifically want parent facing?

if not then get a mountain buggy terrain. the best double ever.

have also had a teutonia team alu, and an abc buggy with toddler seat if you want to know about any of them lol

and had a good try of the bebecar vector in kiddycare.

you should also google the stroll-air my duo

I wanted something that has seats that can face either way. I've got a Kolcraft Contours at the moment which is perfect except that it's heavy and just that little bit too big folded.
I'll have a look at those ones I don't know.

Buy a City Select :)

aswellasyou · 19/07/2011 23:03

Guildford, that doesn't help! I'd have bought one a long time ago if I could justify the expense. I'd have liked to get my hands on that Kobi Frigg bought too.Grin

aswellasyou · 19/07/2011 23:06

I'm loving the Stroll-Air. It's really big folded although really flat. That's the problem we have-our Mum's boot is just so small.

mumtoaandj · 20/07/2011 08:15

think its bayamo but it does not look like a wayfarer more like a infinity (confused)

meh I tried the city select in John Lewis and totally didn't love it.

I adore my single baby jogger, love it to bits... but the city select just isn't that great IMO.
it had loads of "give" in the handles when you pushed down and i hate that (although that's fairly irrational and prob doesn't bother other people) and when I had the boys facing each other the one in the higher seat just kicked the other one in the face

also, very heavy to get up kerbs, but as I say, it's the same for any in-line buggy

Guildfordnanny · 20/07/2011 15:43

I love my City Select - really its too heavy for me now with two older children in, but I can't bear to sell it plus it's great when boot space is tight! I loved my two facing each other until like you say they get to the kicking or pulling at each other stage. I like using mine back to back. I think all pushchairs with extending handles have give in them. I find the iCandys and Contours much worse! I think as a newborn pushchair with all the travel system / carrycot / seat options it's fab. The hoods, handbrake and that huge basket are awesome. A big basket can sell me a pushchair :)

Maclaren Superdreamer, it has to be. I remember a really long thread about them, if you search.
