    Good plan! We'll only have a 16 month gap all things going well so I don't think I can expect DD to go on step behind the cameleon......can I? It would be SO much easier...... We'll use a sling too, probably more for DD though. Hmmmm - food for thought - thanks!

    I don't think Mitchell will be on the toddler board until he's around 3 years old. I'm sure he could physically do it soon but he's a total cheeky monkey so I don't think he could be sensible about it until he's around 3.

    That being said, I am going to buy the mutsy board now. Because the new Bee+ fits the Bugaboo toddler board the ones that will fit the 2009 Bee are not really being made any more. Already I can't get the mutsy board in Aus, so will have to get it from the US.

    If we were starting having babies now I'd probably get the Donkey as it really would be the only pram I'd need. We had thought of selling the Bee and putting the money towards the Donkey but we use it so regularly it's starting to get worn which will bring down the second hand sale price. We paid just under $1000 and I don't know if I'd get $500 for it now, especially with the Bee+ being available.

    Don't get me started on slings. I am a total addict when it comes to those.

    Hi, i was just wanting to know of you who own the baby jogger city mini double do you find it difficult to access the basket? And what it is like over uneven surfaces?
    I am not sure if to buy this or another double stroller.
    I love the fact its easy to fold and light but i live in the country and for me to see these in person is difficult.

    I'm not sure as I don't have mine yet. And I would be mainly using it on footpaths and in shopping centres.

    Baby Gizmo have great reviews on Youtube of this pram that you should check out. That should give you a better idea of how it works without actually seeing one. I'll PM you the link.

    Ok great thanks, have you ordered your from the US? What colour are you getting? i have 2 under 2 also and am hoping this stroller works for us as i have the City select which is great but also like pushing a bus and quite often hit things as i cant see in front to well.

    I ordered mine from a girl in my mothers group who happens to own a baby shop! Very handy I know! I ended up getting it in Stone as I reckon that looks hot. I looked into buying from the US but in the end I decided that it was worth paying the extra for the warranty peace of mind. I can't imagine having to ship it back to the US if I had a problem. However I did order the rain cover from the US.

    I can't PM you the link as you haven't got enough message history but if you google "baby gizmo you tube baby jogger" it's easy to find.

    I love the stone colour too - but worry it may get dirty.
    Have you seen what the basket access is like? Hmm we could all do with a friend who owns a baby shop.
