i am choosing between a city mini double and a mountain buggy duet for my 2 kids.

city mini seems better for me except it is 12cm wider?! will this make going shopping more difficult!?

do you fit in the shops with this buggy?

The only door I have a problem with is my front door!! Love the buggy though.

In theory a BJCM should fit through ny standard doorway so shops should be no problem unless thy are tint ones. The Duet is just super skinny but you lose features, fold size etc for that.

Yes it's lovely to push and despite the front door issue it fits everywhere! Smile

I can't comment on the push but we used to have a twin maclaren which was 74cm iirc and it was a nightmare in shops. We'd get stuck in aisles, if you meet someone in an aisle you had to do some reversing or some stupid manoeuvre to get past, and god help you if you meet another pushchair. I'd never have a standard side by side again... ever!
