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
