I have valco runner with toddler seat, it does the job, a bit awkward when walking on slopes as the wheel has to be locked in position or the whole thing tends to tip if both kids are in it. I didnt like the idea of having a child so low in the phil and teds but that was jsut me know a lot of people love them. One problem witht he valco I have is the toddler seat has no sun cover (you can buy one but its more money). The toddler seat doesnt recline but my dd's wont sleep in the pram anyway. Can be tricky to get large items in the basket when it is fully reclined.

I have found it heaps easier to put bubs in my mei tai and dd1 in the pram, or trolley if we are shopping. DD2 loves the mei tai and generally falls asleep in 15mins in it.The new pram has really been a waste of money for us as Ive used it half a dozen times if that. DD2 is getting a bit heavier now so Im using the pram occassionaly or her but dd2 is almost three and is wanting to walk more often than not
