I have a 20 mnth old boy and am due with twins. I was planning on getting the Twin Valco and Toddler seat but am reading that its hard to get in and out of shops etc. Am now considering the carriage style but cannot seem to find one where both newborns can be fully reclined (do they exist) or what to do with my toddler. Any suggestions on what to do and what pram may suit me?

I saw a twin carriage pram yesterday in baby target. Sorry i didn't look at the brand but they do exist.
Take care,

Hi there,
I have the twin valco with toddler seat, and I don't have any trouble getting in and out of shops. The only shop I've had trouble with is best and less.
Cheers,

I have just bought the twin valco (runabout) and was very surprised to find that it fits through standard doorways (just). I was preparing myself to use our big sliding glass door to bring it inside, but it fitted through our normal doors (back, front, bedrooms, etc). It is also good in the sense that it takes up to 25kg each seat. As well as the toddler seat, you can also get the 'hitchhiker' attachment for the back, where an older child can stand for a rest (I think up to 30 kg allowed on this?).
Good luck :-)

Thanks for people who have replied. So when you say you have had no trouble with shops, do you mean strip shopping as well, not just big shopping centres?
