Buggy addicts - what should I buy now?

[tinytotmummy]

Have decided to sell the p and t, as dd is getting v frustrated in the back and keeps playing with the wheels. ds point blank refuses to use the back seat, so can't swap them over. DS is 28m and DD is 13m. I also have a maclaren twin, but thats going too as its far too small - both of them are spilling out the sides!! What do I get now?

I love my ABC Everst Twin. My DS1 is HUGE (91st centile) for a 2.5 year old and he is very comfortable in it (although we're getting short on headroom when the hood is over). It's really good to push. Only down side is that it's heavy to manouvre (spelling???) when folded (especially in and out of the car) but as I'm in London, we walk almost everywhere so I rarely need to. There's masses of storage space underneath. You can even get an additional toddler seat to fit onto the handle for the third child !

Do you have trouble getting around shops with it? I'm in Cornwall and all shops tend to quite small. I would really like something like this but worried if I will be able to get up and down the aisles! Like the toddler seat for no3. Still yearning after another baby so I can carry on my pushchair and nappy addiction....

It's one of the narrowest side-by-sides there is, which always surprises me as on first glance it looks a bit of a monster! It's 74cm wide, same as the Maclaren Rally Twin (narrower than the Twin Traveller). We've got difficult access down to our flat and it has to go round a right-angle corner not much wider than the buggy, ans it manages no proble. It has a teriffic turning circle!

Where can I get one? How much are they?

Basic was £399 then £40 for the rain cover. There's a UK contact on the website who, when I got mine 7 or 8 months ago was operating out of the Big Yellow Storage company in Watford, so not much use to you! But the guy (Dale) was also selling them at exhibitions/fairs and did have plans to get them into the shops. Contact him and I'm sure he'll be able to help.

Interestingly(!) it's designed by Phil and Ted themselves.

Good luck!
