Anyone has it?
It looks better than the P&T to me (folds smaller, easier to fold and store, less technical) though a bit heavier 16kg vs 10kg...

and it is cheaper...

any feedback??

Thanks

i had the cosatto duet lite. Basically same design and light it was not. PITA shame as nice idea but wheels not big enough to carry weight was v.hard to maneouvre. sold it v.v.v.quickly.

I tried my DS in it just before I had DD so he would have been about 16 months and it was awful. Too heavy to push and no chance of getting it up kerbs or on the bus. Plus he had hardly any room in the front seat.
He is big though so was probably about 15kgs at the time.

We ended up getting the P&T Sport and have never had a problem with it.

We had one. I liked it. Though part of that was the price.

I bought it online without trying it in the shop after our side-by-side resulted in warfare.

IMO it was fine, though I didn't have experience of other tandems to compare it to.

Everyone seems to reckon double buggies are the work of the devil, well the Hoxton wasn't that bad, I didn't feel the need to buy another and used it until DS could be relied on to walk or scooter. The only people who seem blasly happy with their double buggies are P&T owners but there was no way we had that money to spend, and also I was never that impressed with the idea of the one behind/underneath.

I'd recommend the Hoxton. Without having had much to compare it to IMO it was fine and most importantly Did The Job.

"Blase-ly happy" is what that is incoherently meant to mean.

Friend of mine struggled with hers. Said it was heavy and unwieldy. She got a double Nipper eventually instead.
