    I love my side by side stroller, age gap is 2 years too. Only problems i have are some shops with small aisles and breakables ie "Thingz" but i rarely go to places like that anyway. I use mine more for quick food shopping - where i just use the disabled aisle - legally they have to have one open, and also walking around the neighbourhood, its smooth and easy to push and super quick to fold up.

    Thanks mate, here they are in the stroller. https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...php?photo=9708

    My toddler really likes being next to the baby, i think you'll be happy with this kind of pram, i hope you can fit it in your boot. We have a station wagon which i don't really like but at least i can fit both this stroller and a single for days when i use the carrier and have the toddler in the single.

    Hiya

    I have a Phil & Ted and it was unstable for Julia (2years) to be in the top toddler seat and Tara (newborn) to be in the bottom main seat, also Julia was squashing TAra's legs, so I went and bought a side by side stroller, spent ages looking for them. Got the Valco twin delight like Maz at Toys R Us for $199 now $159 but hey money still well spent, love love it, its great, folds down great in the boot and we have a small car mazda 3 sedan. Mine sits flat and I can fit shopping on top and also down one side of the boot. The girls love looking at each other too. What stroller did you get.?

    Belle, Its some Chinese thing, given I only paid $85 for & its new im not too fussed. I'll take a photo of it later. I need to make up something to make the straps safer as it only has a belly strap like a shopping trolley does. But I have a couple of idea's on how to fix that. I have a few prams around the place that I can use the buckles off & I can get the straps from spotlight, wont be hard.

    Hi,
    We have a side by side stroller for the twins ( Steelcraft ) and my 2 year old hops on a skateboard that goes on the back of the stroller. My 2 year old loves it.

    This is one of the main reasons I didnt buy a Carnival, that and a friend of ours is a Kia dealer and told me that they are not the greatest for reliability.

    A side by side will fit perfectly, and you will still have room for the groceries, but you will have to stack them on top of it. I have a MASSIVE sbs reversible handle pram and I need to fold down the back seat in my car, but I can have it on it's side with the back seat up. I am planning to sell my big pram and get another umbrella twin stroller, and they are the best for small age gaps, then Isla can have a sleep if needed
