Pushchair for newborn and toddler

Senior Member Joined: Mar 26 2008 Posts: 114

My toddler will be 2 and a half when I have my baby I''yh, therefore I think it's not worth I for me to get a regular double pushchair cause wont use it too much.
But I'm looking to get something that can be used for the newborn alone and then has the option of adding on a jump seat or something for the toddler, something like the baby jogger city.
Basically the baby jogger is my only option for now, but was wondering if anyone has any similar suggestions as I want to compare, and am not crazy for it anyway.

Do you do a lot of walking and are you going to be putting it in and out of your car often.

I have the Phil and Ted and find it to be great for 2 kids. It can a single and a double. It is not the greatest stroller, it has some negatives, but overall I think it is a great stroller.

I would not get it if I was taking in and out of my car often.

check this out - uppa baby single vista w/ the rumble seat. I saw it once IRL & it looked adorable. I know plenty of pple who have it w/o the seat.

I have the phil & teds vibe & I am very happy with it. It goes great in the car w/ both seats attached & has an option to use as a single, but I find it a bit big for a single & prefer my bugaboo over that when I go out w/ only one.

you can always go w/ a board attachment too.

What about just adding a BuggyBoard to your single stroller? I think they run about 80 GBP. Otherwise a sit-n-stand type stroller?

thanks everyone for your replies, but, firstly dont want to use a board for the toddler to stand on, cause my toddler will be on the street all the time.
Also these phil and ted ones are not up my street, they are more officially for both children, cant use it with just one seat cause the other stays empty, I wanted something that when you use one seat, you dont schlep along the other. and also the one sitting underneath, all she sees is the back of the front seat - nebech!!!
any other suggestions?????

so this si basically like the phil and ted, one seat on top of the other, the difference is only the style and the brand, am I right?

(This is an Australian distributor so you may need to ignore prices etc)

There are 2 types of toddler seats available but I prefer this style as it can be reclined and has a higher weight limit.

We've just ordered a triple ourselves, should arrive any day. Can't wait!

I have a 20 month old and a 2 month old and I got the single valco with the toddler seat. I am very happy with it. It is a great single stroller and an okay double. Yes, it can be hard to manuver at times and you have to watch that is does not tip, but otherwise it is great. I use it for walking to shul and around the 'hood. I got it for a steal though--only 350 total new, so if I would have spent 500 for it, I might not be so thrilled. Shop around for steals.
