Maclaren Twin Techno or Baby Jogger City Mini Double??!

Does any one have experience of both the Maclaren Twin Techno and the Baby Jogger City Mini? I have an 8 month old and a 2 year old. It would be going in and out of car as well as using locally. Tried Phil & Teds but find it too bulky/heavy/tricky to lug in and out of the car and toddler sticks fingers in wheels.
Thank you.

Sorry this isn't huge help but we tested a baby jogger and found it really easy to move and it's on our list in second place - our 1st choice is the Out and About Nipper 360, but we're expecting twins so with the newborn inserts it just looks cosier and dd1 can hop on the foot plate if she's really tired (she's 3)

I personally am not a fan of the Maclaren style for twin buggies as mums I've seen pushing them seem to be really struggling and I've heard they are tricky with different weights in each side.

Hope that helps a bit.

Another vote for twin nipper, I had a mclarerin twin, but it was sooo heavy to push after my boys got past about 8 months, the bugger the wheels the better :-)

PrincessScrumpy is right, Maclaren doubles aren;t good for different aged DC.

Doubble nipper 360 is a great double pram. BJCM is a good double as well, but will have similar weight problems as Maclaren. You can get Baby Joggers with air tyres, but they are bigger and more expensive.

Ooh also had a graco tandem for older one and baby, with the baby at the back, really easy to push and great around shops,
