have you looked at the baby jogger city mini twin and elite twin?

I bought the city mini single and love it, it might not be what your looking for but its so light and easy to fold

I have the P&T sports & love it. I admit the brake is a PITA & at times I get fruestrated with the zipper/clips recline but over all I've found it great. It's nice & narrow so fits through the supermarket checkouts, light enough & folds really well. I used to have it in the boot of my sedan (before I got the territory) & I could still fit all my weekly groceries around it (& ontop of it).
I'm currently on the Gold Coast & brought my P&T with extra seat with me because my sister has a 6 month old son, so we use my pram at the theme parks.
If you're planning on travelling a bit I highly recommend you buy a travel bag for it (I've seen some second hand ones on ebay) I put the pram + second seat + handle bar organiser (bumbag) all in there then it has a handle to pull & the wheels go through holes so its so easy to transport! I love my travel bag

Have fun finding the right one for you

I'd also personally keep your beema for later on, you may not "love" the next pram as much & once Byron isnt interested in sitting in the pram anymore (DD was 2 when she stopped using the pram) then you can change back to the beema if you like

I got a P & T e3 off ebay for $450. It came with doubles kit and cocoon. I went and bought the sadle bags which are ok to store stuff in/groceries. I have a back pack as my nappy bag so never had an issue with it hitting bubs in the head. I love it because it fits into shops, sticky beaks cant really see newborns to touch! I have the one with the clips to do the seat up, and while initially I thought it was a PITA, its easy now. I have a foot brake and its tricky to do with thongs on. Its easy to fold, folds flat in the car, isnt too heavy. The only thing I wish it had was rubber tyres. My dd1 is now 3 and still rides up top. Problem with that is it is getting tricky to pop dd2 down the bottom without smacking her head. We have bub 3 on the way, so it will be good then and am going to get dh to design a seat for dd1 over the front wheel (she often sits there but her weight makes the pram hit the tyre...hard to push and has ruined the fabric underneath).

All in all...best pram I have had....I have had 3 others!

My friend who is pg with her second has just bought a Peg Perego duette, she has a 13 month old. They are pricey new but you might be able to get your hands on a second hand one. It's one of those one seat in front of the other ones so getting through doorways shouldn't be an issue and you can turn the seats to face each other. Can't go wrong with a Peg really.

Wow - thank you again for all your info and advice. I really appreciate the feedback as i get nervous about spending so much money on something and i want it to be perfect

I'll have alook at the valco too and i absolutely love the look of the baby jogger (thanks krikkit). Unfortunaelty i cant find anywhere just yet that stocks the baby jogger in my area and i dont think i would buy a pram un road tested by me. Are they wide too like the mountain buggy and strider? i think they are but not 100% sure.

I'm still at a loss, its either a 2nd hand P&T sport or E3 or a new strider delux (which i love but didnt want the wideness issue). what to do, what to do, what to do???

I have also seen some valcos going cheap 2nd hand so i'll def have a look at those and i think a friend has one but i do like the option of both kids being able to sleep confortably in the pram - not just perched up on top. This is not a deal breaker though lol.

Keep the suggestions coming, i still have a few months up my sleeve. If anyone has a strider delux and wants to give me some feedback id apprecite that too.

Thanks my lovely BB ladies xxxx
