Double buggy, small boot

I need a double buggy but only have a vauxhall corsa. Any recommendations for a double that is likely to fit in my small boot??

Thanks

Is it for baby twins or twin toddlers or a new baby and older sibling?

phil and teds?? you would need to take the wheels off though i think.
i know someone who has a 3 wheeler side by side in a corsa boot(you would need to take the shelf out tho) i think its a hauck one,but not 100%sure.

I can fit the phils and teds in the back of the zafira when all seats are up leaving almost no boot space at all, it's amazing how those things fold up

my mcclaren twin isnt much bigger than a single buggy when folded.

yeah Ive got a mamas and papas twin aria and it folds so small only weighs 7.4kg and roomy fully-adjustable seats. i paid 220 incl raincover and 2 footmuffs that fit even my very large 2yo ds

We could just get a Jane powerTwin in the boot of the corsa - wheels off - but it was a faff. If it is any help, the key thing is the length of any pushchair (lack of space in boot due to wheel arches) so anything like umbrella fold tandems will be out. You can get a side by side double in with no parcel shelf?

oooh i seen a powertwin folded at a friends house and it looked HUGE,am surprised it fit in a corsa lol.

readytoswiggin · 27/03/2008 23:42

I could get a graco tandem in the boot of my ax, and still room for lots of shopping! there's some good umbrella onesout there now, but i'm not familiar [sp] with them

Thanks so much for the replies. Like stripeybumpsmum said it's the width of the boot which a problem cos of the wheel arches. My single unbrella fold fits at an angle with parcel shelf removed. I might have to take the plunge and get something, if it doesn't fit send it back or resell on ebay???

as long as you check the measurements of it folded before you buy it you should be fine.
theres no way a graco tandem would fit in our 1998 corsa boot.
an unbrella one would prob go in at an angle,or a narrow side by side but it would take up most of the boot i would think.
