    Hi all.
    I'm looking to buy a double buggy that is suitable for taking through parks and on rough, rocky paths. I think I prefer the tandem style rather than the side by side, but I'll take all recommendations! The stronger and lighter the better. My head is wrecked with all the options out there so I hope someone can help with their experiences.
    Thanks.

    The Phil and Ted range is hard to beat. Ours took serious abuse and kept going...worth every penny.

    Phil & Teds have pneumatic tyres like your bike plus non-friction bearings. Really can't be bet.

    I have the Mountain Buggy Duet which is side by side. I am finding it really good. Check out the Mountain Buggy Duo also

    Phil and Ted vibe is excellent. You could get one second hand if too expensive.

    Mountain buggy or out n about nipper . I have had the nipper for 4 years and 5 kids and brought it up mountains ,through Forrest's on beaches and did have 2 punctures :)
    It is very light .
    I personally like the Phil and Teds as a single but not as a double ,it can be hard to get up steps and extremely heavy to push , one child sees nothing and is very close to the ground which is not ideal for much except foot paths .

    I've heard the mountain buggy is great for all terrain. You could also try the baby jogger city mini double GT. the GT would be a lot better for rocky paths etc than the normal city mini double.

    Out and about nipper fan here. Swapped my single for a double and it's the biz. Goes over anything. You can swap the big tyres for solids as well (for 0 punctures, although I only ever got one).
