    I'm pregnant with our first baby but we plan on having more children so it seems like a good idea to get the 'right' pram first time around and we're very interested in the Vibe. However, I've read some reviews online where people were complaining that the toddler seat is much smaller than the Sport and their toddler was too big for the seat! Many of the reviews said they'd prefer the Sport as the toddler seat is much bigger.

    Can anyone vouch for this? Any info would be appreciated!

    We just put the Vibe on lay bye. We tested it out with DS2 in the toddler seat, he is 2 and 85cms tall and he had heaps of room.
    My only thing I have been wondering about is that when you have the toddler seat on the back, are your legs constantly bumping into the toddler seat when you walked? It seemed to have been the only issue I had with it when I tested it out, but for the very limited amounts of time I would be using the toddler seat, it's not that big a hassle to me.

    Mumofmany, yes i do have trouble where as DP doesn't....he has more body strength then me though too, i think the trick is to make sure it is as closed as it can be and the front wheel is flat not sticking out IYKWIM. I absolutely love the UV protector, with the back part on it lets so much air flow through yet is nice and dark for bub to sleep in.

    Not sure about that one Taurean maybe ring around a few baby shops in your area and see if they have the whole range of P&T for you to take a look at.

    Taurean - I found when I put my 19mo in the toddler seat, her head poked just above the top of the seat. Like.. only half her head. That meant that I could recline that seat the lil bit when she fell asleep.. but she still slept comfortably none the less. The vibe has a lot more comfy padding than the sports... so more comfortable. Personally, the ease of the brake, weight of the overall pram and the comfort of the seats far out weighs if the seat is smaller.

    Lisa - Granted I've only used it once with the toddler seat down bottom and had my 4.5yo up top, but I never kicked the back of the seat once.. But i'm tallish and have long arms, so may be standing back a bit. I'm bout 5'9. You can adjust the handle.. that might make a difference?

    Dannim - i'm glad I'm not the only one. My DH has said to make sure the wheel is flat.. and that the basket underneath kinda folds into itself.. which i have.. i'm sure as time goes it will "loosen".

    overall.. luv the pram!
