    Thanks guys

    I read the product review which is what totally sold me on the beema.. it seems the only reason anyone gets rid of it is when next bubs comes along.

    Teagz - I'm not sure if the handle moves but i know the way you place the bassinette in the baby faces you which is what i wanted.

    Liviam - That is exactly why i am confused this is our first bubs.. so not sure if we need to upgrade. I can buy a really good condition second hand Beema for $200 with all acc at the moment so not sure if to just go with that and get a phil and teds later when not needing to outlay so much money for baby no 1.

    we got a beema q with DD#1 and I LOVED it (actually, I still love it!!)

    I got a P&T after having DD#2 - we got ours on ebay.

    I would much rather not have to use the P&T, but it is handy when I need both of them in the pram.

    I'm a P & T fan here. Bought it when DS was on his way - and now I wish I'd just bought it from the start!

    P.S - no - you can't reverse the handle Teagz.

    I have a beema.
    I love the way it steers, the size, and that it goes up to 22kg

    I hate the fact that you have to turn it upside down to store it in the car, which means if you have blankets etc lining the pram as we do then they fall on the ground a lot of the time/

    My DD has a phil & teds and I love it. Took the boys for a walk this week and was able to go through the normal checkout no problems. I love the way it is so easy to push.
    As I didn't pay for it have no idea there

    we have a beema q and I love it! Its a great walking pram. I've decided that I am going to see how I go with keeping the single and just using slings for #2, rather than go to a P&Ts.

    Rayray - not sure what you mean about storing it upside down in the car but I've not had the problem of blankets falling out, maybe its a car thing - ours is a wagon, so I can put it in with the third wheel on the bottom.

    Thanks guys for all your advice... We decided to go with a Beema cos we don't know how far the gap will be between children. And what if the next one was twins then the phil and teds wouldn't be suitable either.

    I just picked up a 12 month old beema I got off ebay with all the attatchments, including bassinette for $153... Seriously in brand new condition. I looked at new ones in store again this week and even with babyco sale was still gonna cost $500 + so DH and I are stoked because it is like new. no fading or anything...
