Bootiq prams

We chose the strider plus cause it seemed like the best double pram for around what we could afford... we got it with the second seat for $680.. I LOVE it! It is a little wide but that's not an issue, it's really sturdy and takes heaps to tip (DH had fun testing that!)

maybe check out the strider too? it has heaps of room for the second kid...

I haven't really looked at the Strider Plus, because the pram I already have is the Strider that came before this the Plus (no toddler seat can be attached). While I mostly like the pram, there are a few things that I don't like about it. The width of the back wheels really is quite large. I can manage the width, but my DH is terrible when it comes to not crashing into things with the huge wide back wheels. Also, one thing that DS hates in the Strider is that the seat doesn't sit up straight enough for him. Even in its most upright position he is still reclined and he's old enough that he wants to sit up straight. He ends up pulling himself up and holding himself upright.

Other than those two things I find the Strider great. I do love that I can still put the seat facing either me or forward and I still use both options with DS. It handles really well and I've never had anything break on it.

Just an update on the difference between a Childcare Rally and the Two Up in case anyone was wondering... I got an email back from the makers of the prams and apparently they made the Rally pram first, then Toy R Us wanted to stock it but they already had a stroller with a similar name, so Childcare started making them under the name Two Up to be sold at Toy R Us. Then they ended up selling to other retailers too. So basically, they really are the same pram

Thanks Loula for the outlet details. I went yesterday and ended up getting the Zuzu evolution, it's hood was much higher than the one on the Bootiq Deux and DD was much happier in it.

I had a look at that one too Alicia. Looked like the canopy was the only difference between that pram and the Deux. And yes, the canopy did look much higher. The Deuz canopy on the front seat will definitely touch my son's head.
