"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!
