HK isn't really buggy friendly, especially in Central where pavements are narrow and crowded and its hilly. Best idea would be to use a baby sling/carrier like Baby Bjorn and put your first child in a light easily foldable stroller like a Maclaren. It will depend on what areas of HK you plan visiting, places like Discovery Bay are much more Buggy/stroller friendly. But on the island I wouldn't want to take anything big and heavy.

The Phil & Teds is definitely not HK friendly if you are dependent on public transport or living in Central. Getting it around supermarket aisles might be an issue as well.

i am due end of sept and dealing with the same dilemma, but have decided against a double-stroller. will do the sling and my almost 2.5 yr old in our Maclaren techno XT stroller. singapore is indeed more stroller friendly than hk, but i think the double-strollers are so bulky and heavy to push around. we bought another single Maclaren (Quest) stroller jus in case so my husband or my helper and I can go out with both at the same time. I am just hoping this will push my older son to just walk more too!
