I have a 3yo and 9mo - I think all of the suggestions are great, it really helps to have others perspectives. FWIW - we have the double Mountain Buggy and Maclaren Twin Stroller. I wanted to walk daily so the MB stays up at home and the Maclaren stays in the car. My 3yo walks in fits and starts - her spirit is willing but we do quite big walks so she hops in and out etc. The MB only just squeezes into my boot (Commodore Stationwagon) also and is quite cumbersome but fab to 'drive'. I bought both doubles with the intention of reselling on ebay to recoup some $$ when we were finished as they are both generally in demand. The girls love being side by side and chatting,playing etc. Happy shopping!
We bought Phil and Ted dash as we planned on kids close together!
I have loved phil and ted with only 1 child but I must say takes up lots of boot room so I use it for walking and my stroller lives in boot of car but that will all change when bubba 2 comes along, will be getting toddler seat for Phil and Ted.
My friends who have phil and ted with 2 kids all love it!
Just a note in regards to Phil & Teds with one child being under the other. They DO have a side by side also that takes up to approx 25kg each side.....so great for a long time & if you have long walks etc.
we have a steelcraft transition (i think thats what its called) around the $360 mark with a toddler seat $90 great pram, 3 wheeler we hardly use the toddler seat though!
Its a bit on the pricey side, but thought I should mention it anyway.
Have you checked out the ABC adventure buggy with toddler seat on top? They also have a reclining newborn toddler seat - so the new baby can face Mum at eye level and lie back - whilst the older child faces outwards underneath. Or you can go for the regular toddler seat up top for the older child, and have the baby sleep in the bottom part. I think this is great as neither childs view is blocked by the other.
Its traditionally a 3 wheeler pram like the mountain buggy, but comes with an optional
4th wheel for extra stability (most people find they dont need it).
So the pram is the width of a single- good for shopping etc - but it is also fabulous for outdoor terrain, and can easily convert into a single pram by removing the toddler seat.
There is a huge basket underneath which has a zippable cover to protect your items.
