Anyone have a Marco Sky double buggy?

After trying to fit just about every other double buggy in the boot of my Fiesta,it seems this one finally fits(with the parcel shelf out!).

Just wondered those who have one,what the pro's and con's are please.

TIA.

I don't have one but I really wanted one UNTIL I actually tested one, it just didn't suit my needs. Have you tested it? The handle height is extremely high so if you're on the shorter side forget it!

Have you tried a duet lite? I settled for a powertwin in the end and have now re-mortgaged lol

Agree with Stiglet, main disadvantage is handle height. I'm 5'7" and find it fine but one of my friends had trouble when test-driving it. Otherwise, highly recommended - astonishingly compact, which was my main reason for using it - I love it and still use it occasionally for the DDs who are now 16m and 3y. Perhaps not the nippiest double in terms of manouevrability, but I think they're all pretty cumbersome; only other disadvantage I can think of is the basket underneath isn't huge.

Hiya Franch!

I also have a Marco Sky... loved it loved it loved it! (Now I make the DTs walk).

If you're short it's no good. I'm 5'5.5" and it suits me.

Hiya - I have had 3 and have a real love/hate relatioship with them!!

The two times I have been without I have missed it terribly and had to get another!

The first one was a Marco Sky L (the newer model) And it was too high for me and I ended up hating it. The second one was a previous model which was just a Marco Sky - perfect! Feels lower and so much easier to push.

They are definately worth having

Hi Mars, thought I might see you here

Thanks for all the comments.I am only 5ft3 but have had a quick push of my friends one and it doesn't seem too bad.It's not actually a "proper" Marco sky but it's virtually identical and only £100 new from an Ebay shop.I have tried the Duet Lite but can't get it in the boot of my car-this is about the only one that will fit.It did also seem fairly heavy but then again I suppose most doubles are going to be the same.Ds will be 22 months when the baby arrives,so hopefully I won't be using it for too long and can then go back to my Maclaren Ryder.

Thanks again.
