Peg Perego Duette for 2...

[JellyBean]

Has anyone got one of these prams? I had written off the single-file double prams, as I wanted the option of having my younger bub facing me, however I saw one the other day where the 2 bubs were facing into each other, with bub at the front facing Mum and the other facing out. What a fantastic idea!!
Why they don't show a pic of this seat arrangment on their website I have no idea....

Can anyone reccommend this pram or give me any pros/cons? How does it go outdoors? Is the steering wheel thingy easy to use? I'd love to hear from you.

Jelly bean I haven't got one but just had a look at a you tube video of some one reviewing one - don't know whether it would tell you anything you didn't know but if you haven't seen it it might be worth while - it goes through folding, seat changing etc. They do look pretty cool though compared with the standard tandem pram - the way she was using it it certainly seemed much more manouverable than a normal tandem

Just checked out that video Jaspen - thanks for that. The seat variations are even more flexible than I realised - BOTH can face Mum, both away, or they can face into each other, or back to back. How brilliant. That is certainly the first single-file tandem I have seen with so much variation.
The downside? The pram is heavy - 19.8 kg. It does look easy to manouver, however.
Maybe I can convince DH to get me a sidebyside lightweight jogger tandem for walking outdoors and the peg perego single file tandem for the car and shopping centre....

good luck with the convincing for two prams Jellybean and glad the video was helpful - that is heavy though I remember my first tandem weighed a tonne but I thought it was just cause it was old and had a big old heavy metal frame

I was only allowed/could justify the one pram thus why I ended up with the P&T it was the closest I could get for what I needed (offroad ability, small enough in shopping centre and relatively lightweight) but I think I read elsewhere that you definitely weren't after a P&T - I'm not sure what else would suit you but good luck with the research and you never know DH might agree with your theory on 2.
