I've been doing a fair bit of double pram research, and I am a little annoyed by the lack of availability of double side by side 'jogger' prams which allow for both a mother-facing bassinette & an outwards facing toddler - simultaneously.
The Mountain Buggy double and Adventure Buggy double look like great quality prams, however you only have the choice of having either 2 bassinettes for newborns, or two outward facing seats - great for twins, but not for a newborn and toddler. I know that these prams do accomodate for a newborn, but I had DS face me in bassinette mode in the early months and I loved it. Even now his pram seat is still reversable and we change direction quite regularly so I am accoustommed to this function. I don't like how the MB & AB prams don't allow for this option.
So I have started looking at European prams - and they have so much more flexibility!!
No doubt they are expensive and would cost a heap to ship, but I am really desperate to purchase a double pram for outdoor use which has the following features;
- Large 'jogger' front & back wheels (4 wheeler for stability as the pram will be wide).
- Takes a mother-facing newborn bassinette at the same time as a regular pram seat (preferably both reversable so you can change the direction of either.)
I have looked at the Firstwheels twin, which has the option of taking both bassinette and a regular seat - each reversable. However the front wheels are small, there are limited colour options avail in Aust and there are 2 small baskets underneath instead of one large basket - not really very convenient for stashing larger items.
Other European double jogger prams which take a mother-facing bassinette simultaneously with a regular stroller seat (that I have come across) include;
- Emmaljunga Twin Cangaroo (Sweden)
- Easy Walker Duo (Netherlands)
- Teutonia Team Alu S4 (Germany) - this one can even reverse the direction of the older bubs/toddlers once they are sitting upright in stroller mode!
So I guess my question is - does anyone have one of these pram models and can you give me any recommendations/pros and cons? I would love to hear some feedback!!
