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
The reason I didn't go for the toddler seat that clips on the front is firstly, my brand of jogger pram couldn't take one (a weight and stability issue) so I would have to get a new pram anyway, and then secondly, my dd still sleeps in the pram, and i felt that she'd would be better in the strider plus as they seat is full height and both recline, whereas a toddler seat doesn't. Also, I thought that it was fine in terms of space whilst my 2nd was a tiny baby, but as soon as they would get to an age where they wanted to sit up, it would be pretty squashy for the baby, especially as they got bigger. Saying that, it depends if you think your DD will still be pram riding or not. I went for the strider plus as I felt both would be comfy, especially for long walks.
