    Can the baby at the back see out in front?

    Can they sit up?
    Yes they can see out sides, it can recline slightly by undoing zip, DS2 sleeps in there easily and doesnt complain being down there (he regularly in main seat if DS1 walking) DS1 occasionally sits in back but he complains as he doesnt get much leg room if anything in baaket)

    I am another strider plus lover. I should really work for them the amount of times I have raved about it while we are out and about.

    My DS is 2 1/2 and sits happily in the back seat. He can see no problems and has loads of leg space because the basket underneath is massive! Can be accessed from both sides and front as well which is a bonus.

    DD is 8mths and she is in the front but still facing me at this stage. She loves being able to see me and this is the part the actually sold me on this pram. The top seat been reversible.
    I didnt like the newborn part of the phil and teds as I felt I couldnt see or access the baby easily when the toddler was on the front.

    Both seats recline so DD sometimes goes in the back and can sleep comfortably with no issues.

    It is a little wider than most prams but the only checkouts I have problems with is K Mart, no biggie though I just lift to one side and squeeze out that way.

    Seriously LOVE my strider

    I'm another Strider plus lover! we have the same age gap, and its been the best buy. DD at 2.5 loves sitting in the bottom seat, although am beginning to get her to sit in the top seat more as she's close to the weight limit. I like that both seats can recline fully, which was one thing that put me off the phil and ted, as DD still has sleeps in the prams if we're out at sleep time. Like Eluned said the basket is massive. I've been putting DS in the bottom seat recently, and he can still see out, and he's totally happy down there too, in fact he's currently asleep in that after our walk.

    Just to let you know of another option you haven't mentioned- the ABC Adventure Buggy. You can get a side-by-side but you can also get their single pram and add the toddler seat up on top.

    we have a 'front and back' jogger after trying my sisters side by side. her twins were different weights and it would pull to the heavier side. it was also hard to fit in places and in the car.
    not sure what brand t was (5yrs ago)

    Sorry if this has already been answered. Information overload! What's your opinion about the Phil and teds style where baby is underneath compared to a normal looking pram with a litlle toddler seat that looks like it clips on the front? Is there more of a weight restriction with the little seat on the front? Thanks heaps
