Answer
First wheels city twin do a good twin pushchair, it can be used with carry cots and maxi cosi car seats to make it a travel system. Brand new it will cost £429.99 but that is only for the pram from kiddies kingdom it will cost £134.95 to purchase the carrycots. The seat units can face both ways which is great for when the babies have grown out their carrycots it means they can still face you.

If you want a bargain then have a look on ebay, you will find the exact same pushchair but with all the accesories for a good price

Answer
It would help to answer this question if i knew what your primary stroller use will be.... city, terrain, shops, mall, car, etc?
In terms of getting a travel system, that is really not necessary, most strollers can be easily turned into travel systems with the help of adapters for the primary car seats on the market.
For example, Bugaboo- has adapters for Peg Perego Viaggio, Maxi Cosi Mico, and Graco car seats... so you can have a bugaboo and a travel system easily.
The Quinny Buzz as mentioned is a good option, my only problem with it is that it ONLY takes the Maxi Cosi Mico car seat, which, relative to the other top car seats on the market, may look nice, but sucks. It has a flimsy shade, and it is not as highly safety rated and tested internationally as the Peg Perego Viaggio. The Viaggio has its issues too, being large and a bit heavy and more upright than other car seats, but it is also the safest car seat on the market. It might be heavy for you to carry to and fro but what is more imporant, adult comfort or baby safety?
Also the Viaggio goes up to 30 pounds and 30 inches, which, in turn makes it last atleast a year for certain, where as most car seats go up to 20 pounds, and a lot of infants reach 20 pounds before their 1st birthday.
If you need a small stroller, with a compact fold and the option to face mom, I suggest the Bugaboo Bee- in terms of car seats, I would choose the Graco one that goes up to 30 pounds, as the BEE does not have Viaggio adapters.
If stroller size is not an issue, i also recommend the Peg Perego Skate. As a whole I love my Skate, but i will tell you that it is not for easy car travel, it is a large stroller with excellent manuverability. Another excellent peg perego product is the Pliko Switch- i have a lot of love for that one as well and I love that it is a full size stroller with a recline and an UMBRELLA fold, and the option to face mom. The Pliko Switch is new on the market and it is basically a P3 in which the seat can face mom.
Out of all those strollers in terms of ease of use and compact fold the Pliko Switch wins.
THe bugaboo Cameleon i have mixed views on myself. I have owned a good amount of strollers and there is something about the Bugaboo Cameleon that just does not appeal to me so i never bought it, that primarily is the fact that it has a two piece fold- this is why i have the Bee instead. The two piece fold thing, may or may not be an issue for you. But if you go to and fro in your car a lot, it can be quite annoying to not just be able to fold in one movement your stroller and shove it in the trunk.
Another minus on the Bugaboo is the price tag, but that is not an issue for everyone. ON the plus side though, you can get some amazing customizable things for your stroller and it will just look awesome. THis is why i got the Bee, my bee is lilac in color with purple and pink flowers for my little girl- i had that custom made.
Then on the high high end there is the Stokke Xplory, probably one of the most genious stroller ideas out there, and I do highly recommend it. However, it does have a large two piece fold and at 1200 is not in everyones budget.
If you want more help, i am an active member on strollers and prams. com. You can go there and post all the specifications , requirments, and budget that you are in and many smart stroller ladies will suggest the ideal stroller for you.
Most moms go through 5 strollers within the first year, which at the end of the day makes them all cost the same as a higher end stroller in the 500+ range. So my suggestion to you is get it right the first time and avoid all the graco, kolcraft, junky strollers with tons of plastic. You want something that will last and be pleasure to you use for both you and your child.
