Help tracking down a pram like this

[Babbygirl]

Hi does anyone know where i can buy a pram like this in the UK ?
Im wanting a twin carrycot so the babies can lie together and it needs to have seat units for when they outgrow the cot part
Thanks

Mountain buggy used to make one for their duet pram but I think it was changed to single carrycots in recent years.

My Mum used an Emmaljunga double for newborn twins and it reclined totally flat then with apron fastened on it looked like a carrycot anyway. There is also a babystyle lux twin which is a similar idea

I need something with a twin carrycot the mountain buggy doesn't have one. Also that babystyle one is discontinued i think. It doesn't have a double carrycot anyway

Can you import prams to the UK ? I've found some like this in the Netherlands where they seem popular but I'm not sure how to get it to the UK

Some sites may import to the U.K. but it’s probably costly. There are shipping companies who will do it for you. Contact the manufacturer and ask for a list of distributors.

I’m in a large twin group for my county and I’ve never seen one with a double carry cot and i personally wouldn’t worry too much about it. By the time they’re vaguely aware of each other you’ll be switching to seats - my twins are 18 months and pretty much ignore each other still!

Ive found it at last ! Its a Trille pram number 1 brand in the Netherlands and they don't have seats because the carrycot is used upto 3 years old off to measure my doors to make sure it'll fit in the house

Blimey! Three years old?! Can they sit up in it when they’re older? My boys are 18 months and I can’t convince them to lie down for love nor money!

To be honest, almost every twin Mum I know starts out with a heavy expensive travel system and then by the time theyre about one they’ve had enough and buy a lightweight buggy to use most of the time. I did the same. I have a lovely travel system that was really expensive, but it’s just so heavy and cumbersome so I got a lightweight side by side one, with much better steering, and use that almost every time we go out now.

Looking at the wheels this might be tricky to steer and get up and down kerbs (my biggest issue). You’re also going to struggle getting this on to public transport should you ever need to, if it’s as big as it looks.

I’m not saying don’t get it, just make sure you try out something of a similar size and weight in a shop so you can see the realities, and make sure you add weight so you can see what it would be like with two babies in it (I expect once they’re 20lb+ each then it might be a challenge!)

Would be like pushing a tank I imagine !t won't be so bad as they are newborn , don't think it will be so easy once they are older .

I lived in a medieval town when my children were tiny. I had a double buggy. You need to consider where you will be using it eg are the pavements wide and shop doors easily negotiable, is the ground nice and flat, where will you keep it at home, are you likely to catch buses or trains, will it go in car or will you be doing your errands on foot in which case where will you put your shopping etc also is the height right for your partner also.

I remember the shop assistant trying to sell me on an “off road” double buggy and laughing at her because we don’t really do “off road”. Ha! Turns out “off road” is code for being able to push your pram on uneven pavements, up and down kerbs, up a small step etc. No one mentioned this to me.

While this is a lovely idea, after 18 months with twins it looks so impractical to me, sorry OP. There’s no way mine would want to be in a shared carry cot now - does it even have harnesses in it?

I called the manufacturer today in the Netherlands and they said you use a harness to strap them in once they are at sitting up stage and they also have built in backrests so they can lay back and relax.
We've chosen this kind as we live in yhe countryside and walk everywhere so we needed something to withstand all weathers whilst been comfortable and safe for the twins. To me modern prams don't offer that comfort or safety. And its easy to push due to the coachbuilt suspension so not heavy at all luckily it'll fit in my house and car with plenty of room so have placed an order for one to be imported
