Fits through my front door and folds up so small I can just about get it in the boot of my Corsa!!!

i found it heavy- depemdent on model but good. although i would say the seat is narrow for age 2trs up

i now use a nipper and its fab very light to only 9kgs

They are pretty much the same width as a wheelchair so fit through most things (accessibility law specifies wheelchair width as minimum for most buildings/public transport).

I did find mine a bit heavy to push, but then I did live up a mahooosive hill at the time. OTOH, it was always piled high with shopping, children and miscellaneous stuff and it wore it pretty well. I was glad to get rid of it though - I don't think there is such a thing as a thoroughly enjoyable double buggy.

Very good for doorways.

I have one for travel
Quite good, fits fine through most doors

Thanks i have tandem but find it really hard to turn corners and get up pavements as my dd is not big enough to go in the front. Was given it for free so if doesnt work out then its not a crisis but it will be my sixth double buggy in 5 months. Dont think I will ever find the perfect one and if i did my ds would probably start walking everywhere.
