Phil and Teds on Public transport

[fapl]

I have just got a Phil and Teds double buggy, Vibe, and I need to take my 2 boys out tomorrow which will involve a trip on a bus and a stint on the East London Line. The East London Line I am not worried about because I know there is step free access at both stations I am using. I am mostly worried about the bus.

I have never taken more than an umbrella fold stroller on the bus, I am quite nervous about it because the phil and teds feels like a tractor in comparison.

Are there ant tips, which door to use etc?

My boys are 3 months and 2 year 10months. Unfortunately for my own health reasons a sling is out for the baby I am afraid, it would have been my preferred option :(

Don't worry - I regularly take my side by side mountain buggy on the bus - I go ask to get on the back door with it. My single mountain buggy is pretty much the same size as a p&t and that's fine too - get in front or back. There's still room for 2 buggies with either.

I take my P&T on the bus sometimes. It's fine. There are a few awkward bus routes that have an annoyingly placed pole that makes it impossible to get through to the buggy bit. Sorry not explaining very well, sleep deprived! Anyway on those you need to get on the back, from memory it's the 63. Never had any problems though.

usually fine though sometimes you get a jobsworthy bus driver who wont let 2 buggies on if ones a P&T

Thanks everyone. I made my trip out today, I was only slightly stressed, I also had the worry of my son potty training with lots of accidents at the moment. I did it so I will be less scared next time, but I can't wait till the older one is walking more and the younger one can go in a macalren :)
