    I've got a Strider Plus, costs a bit more than your $400 budget, but includes the toddler seat and all the accessories. Both seats have a shade canopy and the sun and rain covers cover both seats. Both seats recline so toddler can lay back for a sleep too. There is lots of space between the two seats too and you get some adapters to make the top seat sit slightly higher so there is even more space. The shopping basket is a good size and you can access it from the front and sides of the pram. It's easy to maneouvre and folds easily even with both seats attached. So far, I'm really happy with it.
    One of the little problems I had with it was that I didnt think I could use the capsule on it (I really like our current travel system) with the toddler in the back cause there seemed to not be enough head height.

    Do you know if the adaptors work with the capsule? I havent seen them anywhere, where did you see? Now my brain is ticking over about gettin the pram again.

    Studymum, the adapters automatically came with the pram. The previous versions of the strider don't seem to fit it as the clip joins are different. They sell a capsule for the plus which only faces inwards towards you.

    I have DD in the bottom seat because it lays flatter than the main seat.

    Thanks, I might go to a different store to have a look at it, honestly the woman who was showing it to me was a bit of a no brainer.

    The adaptor comes when you purchase the toddler seat, not when you buy the pram.

    Thanks Peachface, that makes sense. I bought the pram and toddler seat all at once because that's what I needed so everything all came together.

    Hi all, I recently purchased the strider plus as I have an 8 week old and a 17 month old. My girlfriend told me about the pram as I was complaining about my P&T pram that my eldest could sleep in the seat when I had my baby in it. The strider plus is fantastic. Both my kids can sleep and are very comfortable in it. The pram is also very easy to use compared to other prams I have had and the storage basket is a good size too. Another girlfriend of mine was also in my situation and had a limo style pram which she ended up selling as it was useless and went for the P&T.
