    Cool Looking for a new pram, what do you recommend?

    We're looking for a new pram (woohoo! Excitement! ).

    Our criteria is:
    -4 wheeler
    -2 seater/ takes toddler seat
    -both seats recline at least one needs to fully recline
    - adjustable handlebars preferable

    ETA- not interested in a side by side or inline pram, too wide and too long lol

    We've looked at like the strider plus or valco quad with toddler seat. If you have one of these what do you think?

    So what do you have?
    Pro's & cons?
    Cost?

    Hopefully selling it, I've offered it to a lady I met in a baby shop, if she doesn't want it (said she was really looking for a new one but would come and have a look) then I'll put it up in the buy and sell section.

    I'm not a very experienced pram user, but we have the Baby Jogger City Select and it's great!
    * It has seat and bassinet attachements and the option for two seats/bassinets/seat and bassinet.
    * It is easy to fold up and unfold, and is relatively light.
    * The baby can face you or away from you. DS faces me and I love being able to chat with him and get smiles.

    The only thing I have to complain about is that the two emblem thingys on the side have been dinted (really soft aliminium) and we've already got a few little scratches on the legs. These don't effect the performance at all, I'm just a bit of a perfectionist.

    When we bought it, it had just come onto the market (4 months ago). It was $900 + $200 for the bassinet. Well worth the money I think

    Ive had 15 prams since having DS simply because im a full of addict, I would have to reccomend either a Maclaren double or the Strider plus. Love my strider, oh and if you decide to sell the bug, please PM me.

    Raising Dancers- sorry forgot to mention we're looking for a one up one down style pram not the side by side ones.

    I've already offered it to one lady but she's leaning more towards buying new, so if it falls through I'll let you know we are in QLD though and dont have the box is that a problem?

    Nat82- thanks I'll check it out, are they available in shops or only online? I'd like to test drive one first...
