I went to see one yesterday, it was fab and DD2 loved it too, but the handle is v high and not adjustable. I am only 5ft3".

Are there any shorty mini city double owners out there, how is it for you?

I am 5ft 3 and have borrowed my friends Mini city but wasnt a double, I found the handle awfully high to start with but I used it for a week and eventually settled on it as I kind of ended up holding onto the curved edges of the handle rather than the top part IYKWIM. Don't know how I'd be with the double though as is maybe too wide to do that, and I have to admit I was glad to get back to my old adjustable handle pushchair so personally wouldnt advise. HTH abit

Thanks, so it's a no go then, won't be comfy holding edges! Shame, it is lurvely apart from that.

I know they are it was the fold that got me I was going to buy one until she let me borrow hers and I was gutted at first.

Obviously you could buy it and love it but just wasn't for me. If it helps I think the City Jogger has an adjustible handle don't know about size comparisons though

Thanks I think city jogger is prob too bit but will look into it. I'll prob end up with a p+t, best for me but not so good for little ones.

I've got a mini city single and am comfortable holding the top (am 5ft 2) took a few goes to get used to it but now I find friend's buggy handles weirdly low!

Is your back ok on long fast(ish) walks?

how long? it is 5 miles to my inlaws and I walk it in 40min through the park and uphill part of the way and that is ok. To be honest the buggy pretty much pushes itself unless you have shopping bags on it - I just follow and hold on!
