First Wheels City Twin - reccomendations??

Ok title says it all really, im looking for reviews/ reccomendations from anyone who has used this pushchair, or even this brand, as id never heard of it until today.
It will be used for my son, and newborn daughter, son will be 22months when baby is born. Fell in love with it as you can use the carry cot for first 6 months and so see the baby.

  • just bumping this incase anyone has any knowledge onthis pram?
  • hiya Olipopsmummy, i had the first wheels city twin after birth of dd2 when dd1 was 15 months old, i loved the look of it (had a bugaboo with dd1.....um thats why am in debt LOL!!!) but it was just to big for me (i drive a Pathfinder and struggled to fit it in), shopping was a nightmare, really great for long walks thou.
    i ended up with the Phil and Ted sport, which i love and dd1 is walking so much now, so i just use it as a single pushchair.
    Really wish i'd been more mse and just bought the phil and ted to start with but am learning:D hth

    found these if they help.

    You will probably only need the pushchair for the next 8 months of so, and then toddler will be walking or on a buggy board and baby will have your original pushchair, so don't think of it long term

    I think Phil and Teds is a good option for people with two children two years apart. It can easily become the occasional pushchair for the older one, without having the bulk of a twin.

    If you are sure you want a side by side twin my money is on Mountain Buggy (don't be fooled by other brands) recommend Mountain Buggy Urban. I got mine from Pushchairs.co.uk, it was recommended to me by a friend and I was unsure buying online, but it came within days, and it has been great. Will do beaches, deep gravel, can get a single carrycot to go on for baby and it also takes a carseat. It also fits in any door that would take a wheelchair.
