    Double pram, whats your recommendation.

    We have the strider plus and it's great. What kind of car do you have? We have a wrx and the plus fits in there. I do have to remove the main seat and put the frame/bottom seat in first and then put main seat on top which is no biggy really.

    I find the strider really stable. I can leave DD on the bottom seat with the top seat empty and it won't tip. Don't know how it will go when she gets bigger though. However by then she will probably move to the main seat as DS won't want to be in the pram. Or if we have a third I'm thinking of getting the capsule for it and she will stay in the bottom seat so I guess it's designed to hold a toddler. I believe both seat limits are 15kg each (could be more not entirely sure).

    The seats are easily removable and I also like how DD can still look up and see me. The strider plus was also cheaper than the P&T.

    We have a toyota corolla hatch back. We have a strider 3 at the moment that we used for ds when he was smaller. It fit in there no problems, we just did the same as you and folded the frame and put the seat on top. My main worry is that it took up most of the boot and i couldn't really fit anything in there so we used to put most of our shopping etc on the backseat which with a second car seat wont be an issue. Dh keeps telling me its not going to be that much of an issue as we will still have room in the footwell etc for nappy bag etc and we usually do our shopping together anyway so we prob wont need a pram at all as we can sling the baby and ds will sit in the trolley. We also have a baby jogger city mini which we will keep so can put bubs in there if we really need a pram. DS doesn't really like the pram that much as it is but there are times that i just need him in the pram and therefore we have decided to buy a double.

    I had a mazda 3 sedan and a 4 wheeled strider, and i to had to take the seat out to fit it in and it took up a lot of space. So I got the phil n teds sport second hand off ebay for $510. You can get really good deals from online baby shops as well.
