Kingswood Twin Buzz pushchair questions

[CP]

Hi there, dh and I are contemplating buying one of these for the arrival of our second and I have a couple of questions for any of you who may own one: How wide is it when set up, does the front wheel swivel, how upright do the seats go (my dd is almost 2.5 and would hate to recline too much) how easy is it to use in town, how well does it fit into your car boot and what type of car do you have?

I know, I know, I should just go to the nearest stockist to look but I am running out of time now so please help if you can!

Anybody? Any other reccommendations then?

AARGH!! Not even Kingswood is available to help me. Can anybody suggest a double pushchair that is good for town and country walking please? One that is available to view in person rather than purchase on an elusive website (panic and frustration setting in...)

CP, sorry this is probably way too late but I have had a Buzz twin, used a lot for 2.5 years. Found it good for both town and country walking. After a lot of use it's as good as new, nothing has broken though we use it off-road a lot.

If you still want answers to your questions:
It's narrow enough to go through my front door and many shop doors but too narrow for some front doors, sorry I don't know exact width.

Front wheel does not swivel. we prefer this, being already used to non-swivelling 3 wheelers.

it goes as upright as most buggies, fine for older children.

We used it a lot in town with no problems. we also had a maclaran twin stroller and didn't really feel the need to use that for shopping etc as there was little difference in manouvering in small places once you're used to it.

fits into smallish car boots - we had a nova and an astra in this time.

altogether pretty good for the price it is.

Fennel, you star - thank you.

I have a Kingswood Montana that I got from e-bay nearly new. It was in excellent condition and came with rainhood and changing bag.
I have used it twice as combined weight of two DSs is too much for me as I live up 9 steps to my front door and on top of a hill.
I now use a pushchair and buggy board so it's up for grabs, if you are interested email me. I can send you pictures and I can say that the twice I used it it was a joy and handled like a dream and it folds down neatly, it's navy and has good sturdy big wheels. I recommend a Kingswood an I am VERY fussy with my perambulators.
Won't be offended in the least if you would prefer to buy new.
HTH

I was just going to add - look on ebay. I'm also looking for one as I'm about to start a nanny share and we figured this would be the best for our needs. I had a look on ebay and there are quite a few up there - most for around £100 so certainly worth looking. Shouldn#t be telling you this- we'll be bidding against each other!

you can have mine for far less, don't want to sound pushy and commercial but we are only going to put ours on ebay and you would save us the bother

DH has now decided on something called XTS twin or something like that, so thanks for all your help!
