    Two prams in mind... Help!

    So at the moment we are looking at a couple of prams, been to Baby Bunting and had a play but would love to hear what others think about them.

    Babylove Tandem Lite - We found this very easy to fold, wasn't too big once completely folded, DD seemed comfortable in the front and folded down enough for #2 as a newborn in the back.
    Have looked at some reviews online and people either REALLY love it or can't stand it... HELP... this so far is our winning option as it's cheapish, looks good and seemed quite comfy!

    City Elite or City Mini twin pram - Looks good, comfy but not sure about fold up size and the price, would like it if can get cheap of e-bay etc but still not 100% on size, anyone had one and what do you think?

    Looked at a few others but really not a fan of phil & teds and didn't want to pay a fortune, any advice is great!

    Oh also does anyone have a Maclaren and what do you think of them?

    I have the twin Maclaren (and a single Vogue) and I love them both! I couldn't find a secondhand double but found a great price at Glenhuntly baby carriage - they have an online shop too. I also have a Mountain Buggy double for hitting the street. I bought the Maclaren as the other pram didn't fit in the car. My 3.5 year old is size 4+ clothes so quite big and still fits.

    Thanks, a friend suggested the Maclaren and we only want to buy 1 pram/stroller and keep our old single one for DP if he ever has 1 of the kids.

    It's so hard as some of the side by sides are VERY bulky, we have to sell my car so need something to fit in a normal sedan boot. We are hoping to buy a wagon but can't guarantee it!

    Ok so right now i need the good, the bad and the ugly on the:

    Babylove Tandem Lite
    City Elite or City Mini Jogger
    Maclaren Stroller

    Any other suggestions are great, nothing too bulky and not a phil & teds... i don't like the bub underneath on the single and the double was quite bulky width wise. IMO that is.

    FWIW - Maclaren double is narrower than 2 of the singles - I could just get it in my Mazda 121 boot (was old bubble shaped model). Let me know if you want me to measure it folded.
