Hi, i was wondering if anybody has any suggestions as to a good pram that comes with a toddler seat attachment?? We have # 3 on the way and after using the phil & Ted's side by side pram have decided to go back to single pram with toddler seat.....we DON"t want the phil & teds E3, we looked and considered one of those before purchasing the side by side, and still feel the same about them, however we are looking for a single pram with attachement. I like the look of the valco rebel q but there doesn't seem to be a lot of space in front of baby when toddler sitting in it. Would love a mountain buggy by they don't come with the toddler seat....have looked at the adventure buggy but can't seem to find them for sale in Aus so a bit nervous about it....if anybody has any recommendations i would really apprecitate it.

You could look at the New strider plus, the strider take 2, or most of the baby joggers take a toddler seat too. Good luck it is so hard finding the right pram :)

We are looking at the strider plus, the second seat takes up to 20kg, which alot of others dont, and both seats lay completely flat. I have had play with it and found it aint that bulky (considering it is a double pram), turns well, and feels sturdy not like it will tip over, and it is really easy to use/adjust etc.

:iagree:

I have the single & double, love them both. Ive used the toddler seat twice on the double. Did not have an issue.

i love the options of toddler seats.
i have a p&t and love it, i love the concept of the toddler seat being under or when above it is in the centre of the pram.

i have had and tried many joggers that take the toddler seat on top at the front and never will i use one again, they tip far to easy when pushing on uneven surfaces due to the weight being at the front. most do counteract this to a point by making the rear axle wider (then creating a problem of wide pram) but never enough, its ok when the child in the toddler seat is small but as they grow the problem becomes more apparent.

I have the Valco Runabout Tridmode Ultralite. Great pram. Nice and light and easy to move around. I have the toddler seat which can make the pram a little harder to move around, but I wouldn't be without it when heading out with my two girls.

Thank you so much!! I think i have just found my pram....we didn't like the p&t as i just wasn't comfortable with one child sitting under the other so we opted for a p&t side by side instead which is great for exercising but totally crap for shopping trips and outings...and it's really hard to fold down so when # 3 comes along i was wanting to keep the single pram with toddler seat....i love that the strider plus has the reversible seat and bassinett option and that both seats fully recline flat!!! Looks fab and will be off the the baby shop asap to have a play with one!!! Thank you once again!!

I looked at the Strider Plus in store today excited about it and walked away hating it. It is VERY heavy and VERY chunky. If you have a bassinette or capsule on top the second seat is positioned so your toddlers head is right at your legs (ie baby facing you/toddler facing other way). The toddler seat also isnt very long so if you have a tallish child forget it. It even looks clumsy.

I think this pram is great. I am short and I didn't think this pram was hard to handle, fold, steer etc, which I normally have trouble with. Personally I don't see the problem with baby facing you and toddler facing the other way, and really it isn't a longterm problem anyway, or you can bypass this problem totally and just use the seat- it is suitable for a newborn anyway.
