I think it really comes down to the dynamics of your family. I'm a baby carrier and I still carry my baby in the sling a lot of the time. But my oldest has major kicking and screaming meltdowns and I can't deal with him safely with the baby in the sling. So I needed somewhere to sit the baby, then another somewhere to strap the thrashing toddler while I retreat from our outing and get home again! Now my baby is getting older he likes sitting in the pram too so for longer outings, like wandering around the zoo, they both enjoy having somewhere to sit.
I love the 2nd seat on our P&T Dash! I would recommend anyone buy it even for their 1st bub like what we did. It's been used heaps for extra space when out shopping. For months there I even did the grocery shopping with it as there was no way ds would lie down in a capsual thingo in the trolly. We wanted another bub straight away but that's not going to happen anymore however even if DS is still a bit older I'm glad I'll have the 2nd seat for carrying the extra crap that 2 kids will bring AND for those times when ds does want to get in and sit down... I can't think of much worse than a cranky tired complaining and probably crying kid when we are miles away from the car or when it's going to be impossible to get home quickly.
Miss E - I have a 21 month gap between DS1 and DS2. I got a double pram (mountain buggy) which I used whjen i had them both. It didnt get heaps of use to be honest but it was awesome when I did use it (we are now selling it). I used thebugaboo for DS1 when I was alone with him (DS1 was in creche 3 days and I did most of my walking when I just had DS2 in the end).
That said, my boys arent really into prams - so I dont use either anymore!!! (so if your DS is still in the buga you prob would get more use out of a double IYKWIM)
