So I finally made up my mind and bought the britax be dual. I took it for walk today and it is what I expected so I'm happy. My issue now is what I would use when I go holiday as I believe it's too big to take with you on flights and if you rent car ( we go Sweden at least once a year) you need space for suitcases etc. I just sold my maclaren twin triumph as I felt my 16 m

So my options now are to buy 2 umbrella fold strollers or is there a side by side that are roomy but folds small enough to bring on holiday. I got a 4 months old and a 17 month old. Both children large for age. Any advice please????

I have an Obaby Apollo twin. Cheap, narrower than most side by sides, folds small and does the job. My 14 mo twins have plenty of room but I don't know whether it might be too small for your bigger DD?

Hi, my friend has the best buggy ever, it folds up in one movement through a handle in middle of seat so really easy to carry when not sing and small for a car. I will find out the name

@ceeveebee. I looked at spec and its 3 cm wider than the maclaren so maybe it's more spacious. I just hated to see her looking squeezed.

I have a Maclaren twin triumph for holidays, my twins are 26 months! I thought they had loads of time left to use it!

Well i just sold my maclaren as my daughter just kept leaning forward as when she was leaning back she looked all sqwooshed. @ tiggywunkle does the b agile and bjcm have wider seats??? Or shall I just buy two separate umbrella folds as on holiday we are two so can push one each.

I would just buy two singles in your case. Older will probably not need to much longer ( you say you use rarely), and then next year you can use just one when eldest walks more without re buying. Or even add a buggy board if needed.

I wild look for two nanny jogger city minis if poss. They come up secondhand too, and if buying new still have a good resale value

Part of me says buy two singles, but two umbrella folds can take up a fair space in the car whereas a BJCMD would simply slide flat on top of your luggage with the wheels popped off. Both the BJCM and B-Agiles will have bigger seats than an umbrella fold. The measurements side by side are here
The BJCMD seats are much better than the B-Agile ones though.
