Twin Stroller/Pram
I am pregnant with my second child. When I deliver DS#1 will be 22 months. We currently have a pram/stroller which I don't believe comes with a toddler seat attachment (didn't think of that when we were buying it back in 2007).
My question is for those with a toddler and a newborn what would you recommend a twin stroller that both can use from birth or a pram that has a toddler seat (like a Phil and Teds)? Pram size and weight are issues and want the smallest/lightest possible. Also given the age gap bewteen the 2 want something that can still be used up until they no longer need a stroller.
Any recommendations from personal experience would be appreciated.

I don't have a twin stroller but I love my P & T. I like that it's narrow and I don't have to dodge my way around people in shops because it's so easy to steer etc... I know some hate it but we just love it for walking, my DD loves it and DS sleeps all the time underneath. It is a bit tricky getting him in and out while she's still on top but it's not impossible and once he is a bit bigger he will be in the toddler seat anyway. Good luck deciding!

I have the Love N Care version of the Phil and Ted and while I dont love the pram- I love the concept, if I had my time again I would probably spend that little bit extra and actualley get the Phil & Ted. I had a double Valco jogger, and I used to say it felt like i was driving a semi trailer around- it was huge and so inconvinient for shops etc.
I can also recommend a good sling/ carrier for bubs and just yor single stroller for #1. I had a HAB and now I have a Babyhawk, and even though DS is just about to turn 1, I still carry him sometimes and put DD in the pram/ stroller/ Trolley.
Good luck, I spent ages and ages agonising over which pram to get.

I have a P&T & it is easy to use & quite light. It steers well over grass, footpaths, etc. I use it with 2 kids (age 12 months & 2 years). The toddler seat is easy to put on & off & it's easy to get the kids in & out. The sun cover goes over both seat, which is great!
I only have one criticism of this pram which I have posted about HERE
