Has anyone got one of these? It seems to be the only tandem that fits my rather long list of requirements...

DD will be 18 months when DC2 comes in June.

It folds up amazingly small too, not much bigger than my Bugaboo really.

I went to look at one and it seems to be fab, but there's nothing quite as good as the opinion of someone who has actually used something for a period of time...

It is loooooong, but the other option (Firstwheels City Twin) is just too wide and it's enormous when folded too...

I wanted a rear facing double when i was pregnant with dd4 as there is only a 13 months age gap between dd's 3&4. I got a mamas & papas duette, it can take any combination of 2 seats, 1 carrycot,primo vaggio car seat. I had dd4 is a carrycot lying flat and dd3 in a seat unit facing me. The chassis fold surprising small, comparable to a single mpx chassis. This is mine

i am just trying to work out exactly what I might have to do to persuade dp that I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally need one! lol

i am gutted as one went on ebay recently for £120 and i didn't get it waaaaah

I've got the Zoom and used it the last 3 months and I have to say I love it!
It folds easily, the carrycot is massive and my son is very comfortable in the sport seat.
You can easily put quite a big shop in the basket. Stirring it is really easy too when the front wheels are set on loose, I even steer it with one hand when my son wants to walk, never had a problem. I don't drive so I have to take the bus everywhere and I never struggled. It folds up so small it used to fit in our 3dr Audi a3! And it looks really good!
I have a 16 months difference with my kids. So this is the perfect pushchair for anyone with kids as close together.
The only downside is when the older child is sitting in the front the pushchair is quite heavy and if trying to get up some stairs you will need help (if the big baby is in as well).

I had the duette a few years ago so it may have improved, but back then you couldn't get it up the curbs, the weight and length of it was out of this world. I'm no short, tiny woman and was literally feet off the floor trying to manouver it around.

Hi,
Found this thread when I was searching for a Zoom pushchair. I could only find used ones on ebay and I really wanted the new colours not the old ones as I wasnt keen on them.
Anyway I emailed ABC designs direct and they were very helpful. They said they are going to be supplying Zoom pushchairs to the UK through www.obaby.co.uk but it could be 4 months plus, which I couldnt wait for so they suggested that I use www.rotalis.biz based in Germany but they sell direct to the UK. I have bought the new design in black including delivery to the UK for £469!! Which I think is fab value!!
Anyway hope this helps :O)
xx
