Hi Girls,

Well i can help you out! I have just had another baby (3 weeks old) and i have a nearly 16mth old as well. I looked at every pram on the market. I was not convinced on the Phil & Teds and for some reason had in my head that it wasn't going to be any good. Well i eventually gave in and took it for a test run and i have never looked back. It is the best pram for both newborn toddler and toddler toddler iukwim.

I find it to be terrific it fits in a small car easily, It fits down all isles and no hassels to get in and out of dorrways in the house. Another bonus is it convverts to a single buggy so when your second child is at the walking stage and holding onto the pram etc you haven't wasted your money. It is also great for walking and the beach etc. It is worth the money thats for sure.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE Phil & TEDS sports buggy double. It is just great. If you have any Questions about it just ask me as i had so many as well when looking. I know about most of the prams cause i was looking for months on end!

Krisp - Don't go the Valco i have heard they are no good and heavy to lift and the shop assistants up here told me alot of mums have taken them back as they are just too big and a pain in the #ss iykwim! I looked at it as well and they are bulky and heavy compared to the Phil and Teds one etc etc. It is up to you though.

Hope that helps

I also say Phil & Teds. We've been using ours since Jack was a newborn. It is great with the two boys. If you want the baby to lie down when he/she is older, just move the toddler seat to the front again and undo the zips and clips - you'll go back to having one lying and one sitting in a few seconds.

WRT to car seats, we did exactly the same thing. We got the maxi rider and it's great. When they are older and need the harness you can get an anti-submarine clip too which makes them so much safer (stops them sliding down - when they are still using the straps that come with the seat it doesn't matter as they already have the bit between the legs).

Our boys were supposed to be 20 months apart but now are 19 months due to Tom's early arrival!
