Firstwheels City Twin vs Other Tandems?

Anyone have a firstwheels city twin? I love the flexibility of having the bassinet & stroller mode next to each other simultaneously, and the option to face either child forward or backward independent of each other. However I realise the pram is 80cms wide.... and hence wont be so great for getting through checkouts etc! :doh:

I am torn between this pram and other tandems which are single-file. My issues with single-file tandems are that you cannot change the way bubs face, no bassinet mode for newborns, and bub having the bum of a toddler seat blocking its view.... But then they are so much easier for getting around shops etc.

Oh, what to do...? :wall: Anyone able to help me make up my silly mind?

Thanks.

I LOVE my firstwheels for the reasons you mentioned. They are they same width as a wheelchair so normal doorways are fine and I haven't had a checkout problem yet (use the wheelchair accessible ones if necessary). Also no problems getting around with it either - we took it to the show too!!! Trains can be a challenge but you just need to choose the correct side of the pole to enter through. Wouldn't try a bus though - too chicken!!

I get lots of questions from people too because of the versatility ;)

ETA - if you do an internet search for purchasing you can get significant discounts. I got mine for half the RRP.

Hi,
Hopeing someone help me here! Im looking to but one of these prams and have chacked out all the web sites i can find but none mention if its a good walking pram, i want to mainly use it for walking - with the small wheels at the front are they any good for this? Or is it sturdy enough to be used as a walking pram?


Thanks,
Shell.

It is sturdy enough - tried to PM you but couldn't get it through (you are turned off or not able to receive :dunno:)

Thanks Michelle. I think i've fixed the PM thing (??)

Sorry, another question, do the front wheels get caught in footpath groves? (cant think of what these are actually called!) I read this on another site doing a google search.

They do get stuck in a deeper crack / edge but not on normal footpath cracks.
