Pram for 2 kids help and suggestions please

[allycat06]

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

I think the first website I posted was the US one, they have a bit more detail than the AU one.

Not sure if you have looked at the Adventure Buggy Company prams (made in NZ by Phil & Ted under a different name) but the single pram with fully reclining toddler seat looks amazing and I will be getting one when this bub arrives.

I've seen a few on Ebay as well in the Eastern States.

Good luck deciding! After names, pram is definitely the hardest one for me!

We have the same age gap as you, and I also started out with the Beema Q which I loved.

I was never keen on the P&T's, mainly as DD still will sleep in the pram when we were out, and I didn't like the fact that the seat for the older child couldn't recline, so when the Strider Plus was released I bought that and I love it. Yep, its a bit wider than the beema but still fits through most places that you'll take a pram - def not as wide as a side by side, and the valco single is about the same width I think.

I like the fact that I can have the new baby in the top seat facing me, and DD in the bottom (I don't think they endorse this, but it works!) it means that she can hop in and out when she wants - she'll quite often want to walk when we 1st get to the shops but after a while, still wants to pram ride. Other times, I'll put the baby in the 2nd seat at the bottom and DD in the mainseat, and its not tippy at all - its really stable even if DD gets out - unlike the P&T in toddler mode - if the toddler on top gets out, it gets tippy.

The change bag - i use nappy bag clips and attach it to the front of the pram, at the bottom of the main seat itms. I also have a mummy hook and things attach fine to that without hitting the baby in the head.

It also came with the rain cover, boot cover and sunshade, and the 2nd seat has its own hood.

Good luck!
