I have the Adventure Buggy and highly recommend it. I love how the toddler seat fits on top of the pram rather than at the front, so both kids can see. I always feel sorry for the smaller child having their view blocked by the older sibling.
We bought the AB and the toddler seat at the same time and just put the toddler seat away until Number 2 was coming along. However, we have gotten out the toddler seat already from time to time, for instance when we went to the zoo so DS could sit up high and see the animals. He also went through a phase when he didn't want to stay in the pram so if I put him the toddler seat I got some peace while at the shops.
Now that Number Two is on his/her way, I've had so many comments from the other girls in mother's group about how smart we were to think ahead to buy a pram that would cope with a toddler and a baby. So many of them have gone out and bought a second pram.
I have never had any problems with tipping. It steers easily and fits through narrow checkouts. I used to take DS for long walks at the local reserve with a gravel track (a great way to get him to sleep) and it coped very well. It is very easy to collapse and put up again. It is a bit long when it is folded down so I have to put it in the boot of my Mazda 6 hatch on a diagonal so the front wheel fits in nicely. If you have a small boot in your car this may be an issue.
I think I will have some issues with my boot if I want to keep the toddler seat permanently attached but I must say I haven't really tried to figure this out yet, I'm only 13 weeks so plenty of time yet to perfect my technique.
