Has anyone used or got one of these.
It looks just what I want for my daughters who will be a year and newborn but no shop near me stocks them.
What I'd like to know, before I trek half way accross the country to find one is do they really fit through a normal door and are they robust enough for everyday use. Also what sort of size are the seats and carrycots as every side by side pushchair I've seen recently seems to have really narrow seats, which won't be ideal for my getting even more chubby baby.
Not bothered too much about folded size as it will most proabaly live in the car boot.
If anyone can help it would be most appreciated.

I had one - great to push! Fitted through most doorways but not all. Is robust for everyday use but is quite bulky if you are putting it in and out of car. I found seats fine width but DS3 is quite skinny - I did find the seat a little short though but never had any complaints from DS.

That sounds positive, may have to plan a journey to see them and try Dd2 in the seat.

I have one for my twins, DS2 and DS3.i bought it because the seats could be parent facing and I decided this was my priority. It is wider than some other side by side prams and only gets through some shop doors.

The carrycots and seats are definitely smaller than single prams-but this is the same for all doubles really. My boys are 6 mths now and with the cosy toes and coats they are quite a snug fit already-can't see them lasting to 3yrs.

I loved it initially but have been very disappointed in the last few weeks as the chassis has broken in several places, where the brackets that hold on the underseat baskets (which are really small) have come away from the main chassis.

it's generally a bit rickety and not as well made as, for example, the bugaboo I had for my DS1.

not sure I would recommend it, sorry :-(
