Doubles what and what not to get.....

[Nicolaplus1]

Hi Ladies am hoping for some advice.

I am goin to need some new wheels to suit a 2.6 yr old and a newborn.

Dont know anything about them, any tips of what to avoid whats good etc.

We have a vauxhall astra so boots not massive.

Where do i start??

I dont drive myself so do a lot of walking x

if you go down the Phil & Teds route make sure your older child can fit in the front when it is set up for a newborn with the raincover on. I had to sell mine as DD was too tall.
I have a nipper 360 now and it's fab, not too wide, pushes really well and DD fits in just fine.

phil and teds is fab :)

the uppa baby vista with rumble seat looks a fab option. Not sure if the rumble seat add on is available in the UK yet. You might have to import that from the usa. Also see the baby jogger city select. Icandy pear or peach.

also you could import your own jump seat for the baby jogger city elite, classic or summit. Jump seat is plenty big enough for a toddler or preschooler. Works really well.

i have a nipper 360 for my 3.5 and 2.5 yr olds. its very manoverable, and very sturdy,i have a focus and have had to remove the parcel shelf so the pushchair can fit in on its side. although the wheels are easily removed to make it smaller (i'm just too lazy to do this!).

when my DD2 was born i decided i really didnt want a double (DD1 2.5 at the time) we got a revelo kid sit board to fit the pram its fab and \DD loves it, we walk everywhere as we dont have a car, its not akward, comes on and off so easy, when DD wants to walk it has a strap to pull it up
She can stand or sit and also incourages her to walk too,

couldnt recomemd it more

i cant do links but just google image it :)

The nipper is lovely to push but be sure it will fit through your door! It wouldn't fit through mine, and as there is a slope up to my door it was a pain to have to fold to bring it in and out. It's not quick or easy to fold. I also found the seat backs were a bit short.
