    mountain buggy double questions

    Hi There
    I am looking into what double to buy for when this little one arrives. I will have a newborn and a 22 month old...
    At this stage I am looking at the mountain buggy - but have a few q's/
    1. what is the diff b/n urban and urban elite
    2. can you have 1 in carrycot and 1 in normal seat?
    3. can you recline the 2 sides at different levels?
    any general comments?

    I have a bugaboo now, which i love and am so upset they dont do a double...
    i will keep that for when i just have 1 with me but i guess the double will be my major pram...

    any advice/opinions welcome!

    well, i can help you here pap
    1.the elite has padded seats, stronger canvas and better suspension
    2. yes you can have one in carrycot
    3. yes you can recline 2 seats at different levels
    so far, i love the mb. have been using it just with ds in it for walking my dog. used it the other day with ds and my friend's dd and it was terrific.
    v happy with it.

    Have you seen the ABC adventure buggy? I love the double seat option up the top! I wish I'd found them before buying my mountain buggy.

    i've seen the abc,but i didn't think ds would ever have any chance of falling asleep in that toddler seat, so that put me off it.

    Rainforest, you can get a laydown toddler/newborne seat for the ABC one now so they can sleep in it and has a hood and weather cover to. I don't have one but have sceene them around a the place they look really good. And that way when the older one is walking you are pushing a normal sized pram.

    i did look at the abc one when i bought my mb, but something about it just didn't look right. i love the way the kids sit next to each other and interact with each other in the mb. my ds and my friend's dd were holding hands and sharing a packet of rice snacks in it the other day- so cute!
    pap- the bumper bar is like a sort of roll bar that goes across where they sit and they can sit up and hang on to it. ds loves it!
