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?

:bump:

Try for monday morning madness :p

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.

Ohh that would be great, have a friend who has one so asked if she minds if i have a fiddle but would be great to know dimensions!
Your awesome!

I have made some bad purchases in the past in an effort to save $$ - the measurements are generous - so have gone to the max rather than just the frame/handles.
W - 55cm H - 115cm D - 55cm
I found the tricky part getting the pram in the narrow boot opening, so a practice run sounds excellent. I also looked at BabyClub version - but the handling was not as good, may not be so important with a slighter toddler. Happy shopping!

Have you seen the Strider Plus? A good 2 child pram alternative to P&Ts

I had the Babylove tandem lite and while DD1 seemed happy and comfortable in the front in the shop, in reality she hated it. The seat is quite short and she seemed to almost slide off it.

I then went and bought the P&T. Go with your gut - I hated it to look at, bought it because everyone else had it so it had to be good (!!) and regret buying it ever since.

I now have the City Mini Jogger that lives in my car (I have a big double Valco for serious walks around home). It is absolutely brilliant. Both my girls are really comfortable, its light and easy as pie to fold. It fits into the boot of my DH's Lancer Coupe, which has a CD stacker taking up a lot of space, so it should be ok in most cars. It folds very flat, but not narrow if that makes sense. It is really easy to steer and get around shops - it is only slightly wider than my single Mountain Buggy.

FWIW, in my experience both kids seem to be much happier when they are side by side.

I have the single city mini and I love it. Not sure what the double is like. Anything compact and easy to fold gets top marks in my books!
