What double/twin buggy should I buy?

[tillymint]

In sept I wiil have a newborn and a 13mth old. What twin buggy can anyone suggest. Would like it to be suitable for shopping (always need my retail therapy). Also to be easy to push one handed when 13 mo is starting to walk. I'd like the newborn to lie flat for first few months and have good back support..... Many thanks.

Off to Godstone Farm soon, so look forward to reading any responses later.

In my dreams Beetroot,
Sling is okay, but with SPD and big babies (last one was 9.5 lbs) I'd prefer the double.

My ds will be 22mths when d? is born. I'm currently looking at pushchairs/prams with toddler seats. I'll be interested in what anybody else suggests.

We bought a second hand Graco side by side one when ds2 was born and ds1 was 24 months. They're soooo expensive that unless you're rolling in money I would heartily recommend buying second hand - and they keep their value so you can flog it on later. In fact, I made a £5 profit on mine as the buyer didn't haggle like I expected. This is the new version, but ours wasn't much different, just diff colour.

It was actually easier to push than the single pushchair that we already had, and it had 2 big baskets so plenty of room for shopping. It was only 2 positions (lie back and upright), but that was fine as ds2 lay flat and ds1 sat up, so no griping there. Fitted through most shop doorways with the exception of one ridiculously narrow one that I also struggled to get the single buggy through.

It folded down and went in the boots of a mondeo, escort and focus easily, and with a bit of a manoeuvring (spelling?) it went in a fiesta too.

Here's a couple of light weight options for you.

Mamas and Papas Aira - is my fav double is just depends on what your budget is. - sorry no good a links
