maclaren twin techno or baby jogger city mini double?

[mamaesi]

for a double buggy that is light, and can take around london and handle a large toddler and newborn...

which of these is better and why?

i have had a double maclaren and it was hard work to push, with a small toddler and baby, so on that i would say the city mini, lots of people rave about them on here

City Mini, no doubt. It's much easier to push.

City Mini - I used mine with a tall and weighty 2.5 year old on one side and a 7.5lbs baby on the other and it was a doddle to push. No inkling of the huge weight difference between the sides and the 2.5 year old had bags of room, in fact still does 1 year later!

I had a double maclaren (more basic model than techno) and is was a NIGHTMARE to push. Avoid at all cost!

(I then got a nipper and it was amazing).

Get a citymini.

My friend who's a childminder had a twin techno and it is a nightmare to push and she had loads of trouble with it too.

thanks. but what about the cost?

maclaren seemed so nice at only 200 quid...

but if you all say, nightmare to push...well that does make a difference.

has anyone used a hauck turbo duo? are there any other cheap doubles?

If cost is an issue, I'd buy a second hand one.

check out boots after christmas when they have their sale you may be lucky and tesco direct both are good
