    When you have bub in the laying position, the toddler seat goes on top. So they can't see out front, but they're so young when they're in this position that it doesn't really matter. After a couple of months, you can put bub in the toddler seat which goes at the back, and your toddler goes in the main seat (which is in sitting position). Bub will have a good view from that position.
    The toddler seat has a max weight limit of 15kg.

    I have a Strider Plus and love it. DD (10 months) sits in the bottom seat and still has a great view. DS also insists on sitting in the bottom seat sometimes where he fits quite well. There is plenty of room between the two seats especially when you put the extension clips on which raises the top seat a few extra cm's. The Strider Plus is also significantly cheaper than the P & T's. It also comes with all the accessories included. It's easy to manouever and fits through doorways and checkouts of most shops. The top seat is reversible as well. I take mine jogging with the kids in and it goes well over footpaths, grass, gravel, firm sand. Does feel heavy to push at times (usually after I've jogged to the shops and have the basket full of shopping plus the kids in it!) but I figure it's only making me stronger It's a great pram. If we have a third, I'll be getting the capsule to go on it as well I think.

    You mentioned that you can put your baby in the toddler seat once she is a bit bigger ... is that an additional buy or it is just the laying down part pushed into a seated position?

    The toddler seats are an additional buy on all of the prams I have checked out (except for the side-by-side, obviously). About $200 extra for the P+T. The covers and saddle bags also need to be bought separately if you are planning on those.

    The seat that you attach on is additional. I have the P&T Sport, and I don't have to unclip the attachment seat to fold it. The attachment seat (doubles kit is what they call it) is usually around $150 if you buy it separately.

    Does the strider have a lot of foot room for the adult pushing it? I know when I walk with my jogger it's good, but when I go to the shops with my other pram and try to walk fast (and so my stride becomes bigger) i keep kicking the bottom of it. ??
