Jess - I just sold one on EBay - fyi it went for $290 and was in great condition. We barely used it because DS did not like to be contained but the times we did it was awesome. They range in price from $450-$500. Not the cheapest on the market but it's a substantial piece of clever engineering.

What we found we liked about it was the amount of 'stuff' you could store in it, on it, around it! There's a huge storage compartment underneath, there are cup holders for both babies along with food rests. There are also saddle bags with velcro on either side of the pram for additional storage.

It goes absolutely anywhere and really is built to last - it's a jeep after all. The suspension was fabulous and made for comfy travel for a small toddler and a newborn. It was incredibly easy to collapse - you could do it with one hand. Same goes for putting it up - all done from the handle. It was a little weighty at around 15kg's but after seeing all of the compact models on the market, this was by far the best pick for families who like to get out and about. Everything you need for the day can be stored under the pram and it's easy to get to.

We took the kids bushwalking in it and it handled off-road incredibly well - again the suspension in fabulous.

The only complaint I have is that the sun shades don't block the sun completely. This was really only an issue when DD was a newborn and we just used a flat cot sheet to block the light.

The seat pads are removable and washable and the whole thing is easy to clean.

I'd give it a big :thumbsup:

Any other questions, send me a PM. cheers, deb

Jess - it's around 15kg's but like I said before, it's a serious piece of engineering! cheers,
