    I'm not sure what to suggest, but I just thought I'd mention that a 4 year old will most likely be too heavy for a toddler seat, they usually have weight restrictions so that the pram doesn't topple over. It's probably worth going into a baby store and asking a salesperson what they recommend for a newborn and 4 year old.

    You are very generous for buying her a pram

    You might be better going with a side-by-side for her.
    Maybe suggest this & see what she thinks of the idea.

    myabe look at the abc buggy the toddler/newborne seat goes on the top of the hood and that way the 4 yr old can go in the bigger seat. you can get a reclining toddler/newbourne seat.

    If yu google ABC pram. it shows up.

    I saw an ad in the latest practical parenting mag for a tandem pram but is designed for an older child. They can stand and hang on or they can sit facing whoever when they get tired. The theory is good but not sure how it would work with a bub lying down though they said it is possible.

    IT is a Roger armstrong one. Bootiq I think? Will have to check. It is the Joovy.

    MAybe look into this as it sounds like it could work

    My almost 5 year old and 3.5 year old are under 20kg so fits most toddler attachments still
    I am not sure about prams, best to go into a baby shop and have a look, but you CAN get a cool bike that attaches to the side!! So the kiddie can sit... ill see if I can find a link!

    I looked at them in the store They attach to the side of the pram, so they aren't in your way like a buggy board, and look like great fun for the kids!! The one at my store was $108, so teamed with a affordable stroller (I got a great 3 wheeler for $179) it can be a lot cheaper!

    This is the one I have. I LOVE it. 1 handed fold down, nice sized basket, pocket on the back for mummy things, came with kiddy tray and boot cover, nice and compact/small/light for a 3 wheeler!
