We've got a fabulous twin pram but could do with a nice, lightweight buggy for quick trips out and about. Looking at spending about £150. There seem to be some ok ones at ToysRUs and Mothercare, but can anyone recommend, please?
Our boys are 9 months.
Thanks x

We had a Phil and teds as sometimes I liked to carry one with one in the buggy or I'd just take one out but as they got older the one underneath would hate it so we bought a Out N About nipper which was absolutely fab! It was a great all rounder.......it's also narrow enough for shopping and light weight so easy to put in and out of car.
We were given a MacLaren twin traveller but it was soooo heavy I ended up never using it but it was small.
Have a look on eBay Smile good luck

We have a Nipper too and although it's not what I'd call a small, lightweight buggy, it's a dream to push.

I have a Cossato twin side by side and I love it so much I use it as my main pushchair it's easy to fold (umbrella) lightweight and easy to push one handed. I would critiscise that the brake could be better and the adjustible seats can be fiddly but honestly I think it's great (quite small and thin too). Ours was cheaper online I think in Argos they can be over £200? They are quite pretty too Smile

Obaby twin Apollo, £125 from Amazon, side by side but not too wide so fits through doorways etc, very light, reclines. I bought it for holidays but end up using it more often then my icandy

Stay away from a silver cross one, the wheels are on the outside so I hit every sodding thing, walls, doors etc and now the strut on one of the sides has gone. Absolute crap, my Dad has bodged it together again and I hope it holds out for a couple of months until I don't need one anymore.

Loved the double City Jogger, would need to be second hand though.

I love my bugaboo donkey. Very expensive (I sold my life on eBay, got cash for Xmas and bday etc) but it's wonderful. Light, not too wide (fits where a wheelchair will) and I love that the babies face me. It was the main criteria for me as all the others faced away.

City select travel system is great for using in the car. It just fits in the boot vw golf. It's long & thin so good round shops. Can sit facing you, each other and both forwards. Was £500 with adapters & chairs.

Also have side by side out & about, great for off road but sometimes haven't been able to get through doors as its just a bit too wide, they sleep in it really well as can lie down. We use this for visiting in evening so babies can sleep comfortably.

Not sure you'd get a bugaboo or a city select for £150!
The city select is very very long. One of my friends has it and if you ever use buses it's a bit of a no no - takes up both spaces.
