So i have accepted that there is no such thing as the perfect pram. I currently have a BeemaQ and it somes pretty close - except for the fact that it doesnt have a toddler seat option. This wasnt going to be an issue as i really didnt expect to be so lucky as to fall pregant so quickly this time. I will have a nb and a 21-22 month old so i really do need to be able to have them in the same pram together.
My diliema is which pram to get. Every pram i look at has something i dont like about it - Phil and Teds sport, for example, the brake is a PITA to use and i've only heard bad things about how hard it is to recline the seats with the clip thingy they have.
Phil and Teds Dash - cant put the brake on with one hand and most reviews i have read arent very nice and all the accesories for the P&Ts are sooo expensive too
Srtider Plus - looks and feels nice but its so wide, dont think i really want a pram that wide.
I can afford to buy a new pram but it has to be my forever pram so i really need to love it. I can afford to spend up to $700. I have been looking on ebay for 2nd hand P&T's too and will happily buy 2nd hand but i need to be convinced that i love them in the first place.
I also have the option of getting a cheaper double pram or stroller or something and keeping my Beema so when DS is older and not in need of riding in it i can always go back to old faithful. I have also thought about slinging the little one for a while but its not going to work that way forever and in every situation.
I really do want a pram that goes well on all terrains as i do alot of walking outdoors.
What pram do you have for 2 kids and what do you like and dislike about it?
Sorry about the long post lol, i kind of needed to get it all out at the same time too...
I have p+T sport and I love it. I find it easy to use and haven't had a problem with the clipy things. I've been looking after a friends little one some days so had him and DD in there and found it great.
DS will be 16 months when the next bub arrives and I've decided to invest in a P&T sport with double kit. Haven't bought it yet but have done a test run in the shop. I know what you mean about not loving it - the footbrake is a PITA for me too and I'm sure I"ll find little tricky things that annoy me - but its the closest thing I'll find to my dream pram for 2 kiddies - and so I'm willing to deal with it IYKWIM!!! Its hard, but I doubt the perfect one with no hassles really exists TBH! Good luck.
Phil an Ted Dash and I love it. Only thing I find hard is that getting newborn out while toddler seat on top, this will be fine once newborn is old enough to sit up. It does take up a lot of boot room but most prams do unless you have a stroller.
I have a 21 month old and a 3 month old. I bought phil and ted as I planned on having 2 close together. Friends had the sports and complained about the brake.
I bought cocccun for newborn and originally bought rain and UV protector but have not bought for it for 2 as a few people have told me there kids seem to have cover nearly touching them and didn't like it so I haven't wasted money.
Thanks for your feedback. the P&T sport is my front runner atm. I'm just a little nervous about spending alot of $$$ on a pram too.
How does the nappy bag go on the sport? does it hit the kiddy on the head thats riding in the back ?
On the dash as newborn still flat I don't put nappy bag on back for fact it seems to hit him in head, not sure how it will be when he is sitting up in seat on back.
I have the same age gap with my two boys.
I have a Phil and Teds Vibe. Now, before you fall off you chair, yes they can be expensive, but we bought ours online cheaper than a P&T Dash retails for. It is the less popular 'graffitti' colour, that's why. (It just made your budget). We have no accessoried though - yes, they are pricey.
The brake is a tiny red button on the handle which can be turned on so quickly and easily. Also, it actually folds with the two seats still attached, which means that you don't have as much trouble folding it up etc.
Pram for 2 kids help and suggestions please
and all the accesories for the P&Ts are sooo expensive too
