twin double side by side stroller/pram

[squidipa]

how much should i be expecting to pay second hand for these and what ones are good? what should i be looking out for? would a second hand baby store be cheaper than eBay or oztion?

idea? would like easy to fold, down side by side, i have a valco i think it is 3 wheeler with toddler seat but this doenst work for our lifestyle so need a side by side. This one i will be selling or swaping or getting rid of in some kinda way.

oh yeah needs to go from newborn up and be thin when folded. thanks in advance.

Here is what I would consider:

Dimensions - Look for one thats fits through a standard door
What does it weigh
How small does it fold down and does it fit in your car
Is there any mould on the fabric
Does the pram come from a smoke and pet free environment
How long has it been stored for
Why are they selling it
Are the wheels in good condition
Does the stroller fold down for a newborn if required

I would look for brands like maclaren and velco

I was looking at buying a steelcraft side by side at about $280 new, so I wouldn't spend more than $150 for a 'very good condition, clean' 2nd hand one. Even that would be a stretch, but if it was hardly used and looked after, I would consider it, but more realistically I would say no more than $100..

I have decided not to spend the money on a new one now as DD doesn't like being in the pram much, so I will just get a 2nd hand one. I just need one for the times that I am on my own with the 2 of them, and when I had DD, I didn't intend to have another one so soon, and I cannot get a toddler seat for my pram

It would be worth looking at 2nd hand shops as well, as you can see the condition for yourself. Online, you could be deceived with photos (I know I have with some things).

I think there are 2 2nd hand baby shops in Strathpine, but not sure of any closer to you.

We got a Valco Double Delight. It cost $250 from a baby shop. You can get them pretty cheap on ebay, around $100 to $150 in great condition. It fits through standard doorways, it folds pretty flat when put down, weighs 12 kg, seats adjusts to any position between upright and fully layback, has 2 storage baskets, large protective hood, Newborn to 18kgs each side. I've only pushed it around the house with Harrison in it so far. It seems good so far, I like it.
