Tandem / Double Pram for 2 year old and new born

[*LittleMissSummer*]

I will have a 2 year old and a newborn as well and have been thinking about what we will do. I already have the strider plus and there is a toddler seat available for behind but im not too sure if i like that, it would mean Miss K won't be able to see and she loves to see where she is going. Plus we use the pram for when we go to the shops and having the seat there would restrict how much shopping we could have underneath.

I really like the idea of the baby jogger double but i dont think ill be able to convince DP as hes tall and likes our pram because he doesnt kick the wheels.

Hmm lots to think about!

We have the BabyJogger City Mini double, and I do love it, and DH does too, he doesnt kick the wheels and hes 6ft LMS! it is such a good pram and easy to steer with one hand. I also have a P&T but hate that, but if you are looking at public transport I dont think the baby jogger city mini double will work, it wont on NSW buses, but is good on trains. We use our P&T if catching a bus.

We had the strider plus with a 21month gap and it was great. To begin with, I had the top seat facing me for DS, and DD went in the toddler seat at the bottom (the instructions do tell you not to do this, but after I tried it out, I didn't see an issue). Before I bought it, I was concerned about DD not being able to see out, but she used to love hopping in there herself, and she never whinged when she was down there. I also walk to the shops with ours, and even with a set of legs in the basket, can still fit a fair amount in there. DD's just learnt not to put her feet on top of the shopping. If I need more space, I just have one of those mummy hooks on the handle bar.
