Hello and welcome!

wow!! if you can get p&t in you will definately get powertwin in.

good thing with powertwin is you keep everything on. (p&t has to be stripped of doubles) just fold which is one swift movement. and pop off wheels if needed.

ridingjoker · 23/02/2009 18:07

oh and to unfold powertwin you just open clip and "shake" iykwim.

pops open all ready to go.

The Mclaren twin triumph didn't fit. Too wide at the end with the wheels and handles.

I have a sliver cross pop atm and wondered if the duo would fit but Mothercare only sell it online si I couldn't try it.

Dimensions for the Powertwin look like it wouldn't come close. Not sure about the folding front wheel business though!

ridingjoker · 23/02/2009 18:14

where are you getting powertwin dimensions from? some sites show you sizes with wheels on and front wheel not folded.

It is really easy to take off 2nd seat. I do it some days when ds1 goes to nursery. P&T is fab, best double ever!

dollydimple9 · 23/02/2009 20:58

Ceolas how on earth can you fit the p&t in the boot of zafira with all the seats up? i can only ust fit mine in with the back seats down lol.

Dis i so love my 08 hot pinks they look lush, i got the denim bases in jan and it looks really nice, i had some posh bugs made last year all lined in hot pink they are lovely with matching bag etc

Ceolas · 23/02/2009 21:26

Well...

We took both back wheels off and I sat in the back, holding it steady while the shop assistant slammed down the tailgate. My thoughts would be to get one of those elastic luggage straps with hooks to hold it when there is no-one in the back to perform that function!

Someone suggested a roofbox but I can't imagine hauling a double buggy above my head several times a day.

nappyaddict · 23/02/2009 21:42

nappyaddict · 23/02/2009 21:44

dollydimple9 · 23/02/2009 22:52

The never have the ultimas in the huddrsfield factory shop its always pramettes, i went for afternoon tea bits, managed to get the bag for £14.99 but that was all they had, just need the pram now lol if anyone is selling one all afternoon tea considered

nicolamumof3 · 24/02/2009 06:59

Morning all!

im watching those on ebay already, i think the one at £75 would work out expensive by the time i've paid p&p and then a hood/liner with p&p.

watching the green one and have asked for a bin!

nicolamumof3 · 24/02/2009 07:58

Back to work today...yuck!
