    Tandem/Twin Prams

    So I am pg with #2 who is due in January. Early days I know but I am thinking if we need to buy anything for the new addition....
    Then I come to prams/strollers. DD will be just about 2 when junior arrives and I am thinking she will still need some sort of stroller. Or I can be a mean mummy and make her walk or take a skateboard....

    Anyway, I probably should have thought ahead when I was buying stuff the first time around and maybe forked out the mega bucks for the Phil and Teds double. But we are budget conscious and got by. At the moment we have a mothers choice 3 wheeler for at home for the off roading and we have a steelcraft stroller for the car for the shops.

    Should I be thinking about maybe getting a twin/tandem and sell it down the track or should I try and make do with what I have?
    One thing I have about the Phil and Teds is that #2 gets short changed by having to be hidden away underneath and I also have the same reservations about the other one on front of the other strollers... Then again do the side by side strollers get around the shops and is it all worth the money.

    Enough jabbering.....

    I bought a Valco tandem pram from Big W was under $300 and I have no complaints.

    I don't really like the P & T double, I think it makes you walk awkwardly. A family I used tow ork for that had twins had a mountain buggy side by side, and I'm pretty sure it fit through most doors, definitely through Coles checkouts. Consider them, and just check the width - they're awesome if you do a lot of walking.
