"excellent but!"
this buggy is absolutely gorgeous it benefits from two separate seats which recline separate excellent when my little man was sleeping and his 1yr old friend came and couldnt prod him also when they were both ready to sleep i could lie them down and there is a divider between them!! excellent!!!
It comes with 2 luxury footmuffs however they are quiet small well i found they were!
The pneumatic wheels made it a dream to push and you dont notice the weight like you do with the maclareens or stroller type ones! only problem is i did find punctures were common but solved this by adding slime or tyre weld does thesame from halford/argos ect to the tyres which made them resistant to punctures!!!!
the baskets underneath also had a divider in them to separate out each babys things which was great for me as one was mine one was my friends so kept all the stuff separate is large so great for shopping too!
1 big handle bar which is easy to push the way it folds it does get chunks brought out of it but this isnt really avoidable unless you pick it up and try and fold it!!
The wheels are detachable which was an absolute godsend as it ment it would fit into the boot of my corsa!!! the front wheel also comes off but i never needed to!
The raincover is great its big spacious and has an air vent part for the babies/kids!
The frame was thick and was not flimsy and made the pushchair very sturdy.
The bumper bar that goes across the front i found fab as i could attach 3 toys on there and rotate them!!! excellent for entertaining them!
The seats are roomy and the footmuffs zip apart to make liners which was great!
however with all of these plus points i did have 1 big problem i had problems going through door ways sometimes i had to get the buggy on a diagonal to manovoure into a door way which wasnt helpful if the shop was small inside either as i took half the stuff with me! but was absolutely fab appart from that! if i was to have another baby or twins yes i would get it but i would also buy a little buggy just for the little villagey shops to save embarasment but would use this in town, walks, school run ect x

"Bulky but smooth!"
I have 2 twins buggies for my twins. This was the first one I bought, but after trips into the shops, i realised i need a lighter, smaller umberlla twin buggy!
The bad points about this buggy is that it is very heavy to lift in and out of my people carrier and once I've fitted it in, there's no room left for shopping. It's wider than other twin buggies, so not ideal for fitting in narrow shop doorways (we got stuck in my dentist door once!) and not ideal for busy shops! The double shopping baskets are not very big and difficult to get to if babies asleep.
However, if you are a keen walker and love taking the kids to the park etc, this buggy is ideal! It is so smooth and due to the air wheel and steering it can be pushed with one hand (my other is usually grabbing my toddler before he runs off!). So this buggy is set up always in my gardge and used for all the walking we do. Also, it was the best one for the twins when they where newborn as they recline right back and the cosytoes you get with it are very cosy for them. There are handy pockets on the hood for bottles, dummies etc and the raincover is a nice fit. The hood also has a wide window in it and the buggy has a bar across which is handy to put some toys on!
The footplate is also wide and i have often let my tired toddler sit on it on the way home and it doen't effect the steering or wheels. It's also very easy to put up and down, just very heavy to lift!
So, I'd say if you want a sleek, light twin buggy for the city, this is not for you, but if you want one for walks (over rough ground too!), comfort for newborns and perfect steering, this is a fab buy!
