Hey Gem - Bugaboo looks awesome - all my friends who have it say its really good . Am VERY jealous!! :) . I personally wouldn't get the bag though - am sure its doesn't matter if it doesn't match?? And I bet theres lots of other good stuff to spend your ££ on. Having said that left to myself I would probably have bought the lot!! Hee hee!! :D

Hi Gem

I have the bugaboo in red and i have no real bad points the only one is the fact the big tyres are real tyres and i am always scared of a puncture.
I bought the changing bag as i like everthing to match. It has loads of pockets inside and ones on the front for the milk. I don't know if it is worth the money and I waited a while before i ordered it because of the price, but i like it. It really is a great pram and buggy it is so light and easy to push. Did you order the car seat as well it really makes a difference.

Hi Helen Thanks for replying
How much was teh bag I forgot to ask when we ordered the pram.
wWe didnt order the carseat but we are going to as we have already ordered the carseat adapters to go on the pram the carseat was £89 in john lewis but I've seen it for £ 80 in mothercare.
We asked about the tyres and she said a normal bike puncture kit would fix it and a normal bike pump.
Thanks again

Hi,

I haven't bought a double buggy yet but have found there isn't a lot of choice if you have twins.
Just wanted to add that I went on to www.kiddicare.com and found a lot of the buggies/car seats etc were a fair bit cheaper than mothercare. It might be worth a look on there.

For example the prima vaiggio car seats are £110 at Mamas and Papas and mothercare and £80 on this site. I think I will be ordering a bit from there. Has anyone else used them?

Just to let you know Nik swears by her two bugaboos and finds no fault that I can see!

I have the nipper instep from kiddicare - just down the road for me but the site is good and have the double - the single is good too.

Other friends swear by the Jane which I loved but the doubles were crap and horrid looking.
Love

Saddo Sue here with a punture repair tip. You can buy a gel from Halfords that you fill the tyres/innertubes(?) with and this stops any punctures. It's definitely worth buying, take it from someone who had to push a 3 wheeler home on just 2 wheels.

Hi

Sorry it has taken me so long to get back, the bag was 69.95 from lullabys (www.lullabys.co.uk). I could not order it from john lewis.
We got our first puncture and of all places Kos in Greece but got it fixed no problem, trust me to ginx it.
