    I've got one! Haven't used it with the 2 yet, a few more months lol. Some observations so far. You have to use the capsule or bassinette until bubs is 6 months old as the seat is not designed for babies under this, so this limits your seating options and having the bassinette and seat makes it very big so I think I will be trying to get my hands on a capsule. Which will be easier anyway as you can transfer bubs without any fuss, but on the otherhand I've read its not good for babies to spend long periods of time in the capsules.
    With the 2 seats on its awesome. I'm hoping DD will still want to be in the pram when I can use the 2 seats
    Its much wider than I was expecting (but still not as wide as a strider). I bought mine of the net without seeing it IRL. I'm not dissapointed but it will take some getting used to cause it is much bigger and heavier than my Bertini.
    DD fits in it well and she is much older than your DD, so I think you will get a lot of use out of it with the 2 of them.
    Baby jogger are sneaky tho and nearly everything is an added extra!! Like rain covers, sun shades, bar etc.
    Have you been to see one IRL?

    How does it fit in the boot?

    We are getting a peg perego capsule off a friend & apparently you can get the adapters to click that onto the pram.

    Sorry to hijack your thread Sarah

    I love mine, although also yet to use it a a double pram!

    I have DS in the seat now and was very sad to see the bassinett go (It is not very big) I love the pram, it is big and bulky for little quick trips but is fantastic anyway and MIL thinks its the easiest pram to fold and put away (she has 13 grandchildren so she should know!)

    Ours fits into our mazda 3 OK better with the seat now the bassinett has gone, i also disenble to the two

    I hope you love it as much as we do, if you are on FB there is a baby jogger page with lots of tips and info.

    As for a mozzie net/shade cover i have the snoozeshade which is great, I dont think you can get the baby jogger shade cloth as it doesnt meet Aus standards

    I have a few friends who have it and love it!!! I had a look at it in the shops and it looked great, heaps better than my Phil & Ted. Sigh, but we cant get another double pram! Its cheaper on the net if you buy it there, the cheapest I found it this week while looking for the mothercare spin for my baby was $949 with double... I say its great!

    Yeah we would need to take the seat and bassinette off to get in our boot (and we have a Kluger). Its very stylish tho and I don't see many around which is good. I have it in diamond. I'm going to have some liners made for it too..just have to choose the fabric!

    Loula I'm going to check out that page!! How big is your bub? I'm not keen on the bassinette and the seat together it makes it super long, so if I don't have to use it for long it would be good lol.

    Belle thats a great price!
