Thanks guys.. has given me lots to think about.
Lulu - perhaps we can arrange a meet up at your place? would love to have a lookie at your prams. PM me if you are interested.
We have the P&T's too and we love it. It doesn't get used much now as they are pretty good walkers, but we had no problems using it with the two boys (19 months apart). But I did find my sling was my most useful possession in the early days with both boys. They sleep so easily in the sling and it's much easier to get around without a pram. When DS2 was born, we still needed the pram for DS1, but I had DS2 in the sling more often than the pram. We used the toddler seat anyway, so that we could have two in the pram, and if only one was in there there was plenty of room for bags as well.
If I knew about the abc adventure buggy when buying my double pram, it would have won hands down. As someone has already said there is a reclining seat that is placed on top of the handle bar, that would be perfect for your newborn. And your toddler can sit comfortably in the front seat, without a seat blocking her view. It's light, 10kg I think and folds very compactly. Oh and the top seat can hold 25kg and the main seat up to 45kg I think, so would last you right through.
Im doing this exercise atm myself as my two boys will be 17 months apart.
I like the ABC buggy, they do two types of toddler seats, one that reclines and the other that doesn't. Im tending towards the reclining version. They also do a side by side double which looks good. Its the old everest pram from memory.
We are also partial to the new babyjogger city mini. It's so small for a twin pram and is easy as to fold up and has the best sun shade I have ever seen on a pram. As my eldest has an eye condition this is a huge positive for us.
Of course, the mountain buggy urban elite is gorgeous just not sure I want to spend that type of money in case my eldest refuses the pram once he is walking..... ??
