Hi Mick/Roryrory,
I have the Pacific and you are right it is designed mostly to be used as a trailer. Although it does have the ability to become a stoller... a large one. It is easily folded but is still large and I don't think it would fit in to most car boots.
I find the belts are a bit of a hassle to figure out how they are supposed to be used properly, but they do the trick.
I have had both my girls fall asleep in the tailer even tho it does not have a recline option. I think for the recline option to be viable the seats may have to be backwards?? Not sure really.
Thanks for the feedback, Tanya. That your kid(s) sleep in one is a plus on the practicality side.
While I'm sure using one of these things as an everyday pram is definitely not for everyone, we would be prepared to put up with a some things to make it work. The general size of these trailer/prams seems to be on par with most side by side prams I've seen, so i think it really comes down to how well it will fold away (we drive a station wagon, so thats not all that critical) and how comfortable and practical it is for a newborn and toddler when used day to day as a pram. I couldnt give a toss about the asthetics (dunno 'bout the good lady) but some of them (from their websites, at least) dont seem to look too bad.
Thanks again, Tanya.
Keep it coming, people!
Oh, and the other thing I forgot to mention was load carrying capacity. At least one of them, (I forget which) appears to have some decent luggage space and this is a bit of a must in terms of fitting in shopping. Anyone tried pushing one of these down to the local ColesWorths or to the market? Good or bad in crowds, etc?
