I guess these prams are hard to come by in Aus... as I feared. Oh well.
I have written to Mountain Buggy and Adventure buggy - saying that they need to work on an updated model which offers the above features, so that we parents in the southern hemisphere can enjoy the same flexibility as parents in the northern hemisphere!!
I saw a pram the other day which had the bassinette with the toddler facing forward, I'm almost certain it was a mountain buggy (at least it looked like one - unless there's also another pram which looks really similar) because I was looking at them before Elijah was born but we didn't end up getting a double pram at all in the end.
how come come you can't have one basinette in the mountain buggy?
i've actually got a mountain buggy but didn't bother with the basinette, but i thought for sure that it was a possibility if you wanted to.
Try Baby Jogger. They have double prams and you *may* be able to attach the bassinet with one stroller side still facing forwards. We have the City Elite single pram with the bassinet attachment and you can clip it in with the normal stroller seat attached or detached.
I had something like first wheels (Bertini Mio) in the single, and i wanted the first wheels but it wasn't avaliable at all in Australia when we needed a double, but i never had a problem with the front wheels (its like a bugaboo), but that being said, i never test drived it as a double.
Look at Oo (i think?) otherwise PM me, they have free shipping and i think it is $400 all up for the double, which is pretty cheap for a double pram. Doesn't come with basinette, just the 2 seats, but as you can make 1 seat horizontal, from experience you don't need the basinette, iuts just 1 extra bit of baby junk to have around.
We have a double mountain buggy pram with a forward-facing toddler sear and a bassinet. It's a great pram, very easy to steer. You need to buy the bassinet part separately (they call it a carry-cot) and installing it is fiddly, because you have to take out the fabric part of one of the seats, but once it's installed, it has quick clips to take it out and use it as an actual carry cot. And it fits through a standard doorway, which is another plus.
