HELP!!Baby and toddler pram??

Question

When my baby is born my daughter will be 18 months old, does anybody have any good ideas on what type of pram is the best??

Answer 1

It's hard to find a good tandem stroller because they get expensive and many are very very big, so they're heavy to move.

I've found some great ones though and here they are...

The Joovy Caboose - This is a Stand-On stroller which means the youngest baby rides in the front and the older child can sit or stand on the back. It does come with an adaptor so you can put an infant seat in it. The sun canopy is huge. It's not the best option for long trips (like Disney World) because it's not incredibly plush and comfy, but it works. Very cool colors. $280

Contours Tandem Stroller - This is the most luxurious for both passengers. The seats move and recline in every direction. Each kid gets a very nice, customized ride. It's pretty big. You can see a demo video here. Only comes in red. $210

Zooper Tango - This is a popular side-by-side tandem stroller that also suits each kiddo well - seats recline with lots of added features. It's a bit pricey though at $429. The color options are very hip!

Maclaren Twin Techno - This is the most popular double stroller in the market today. Maclaren strollers are durable and easy to use. It doesn't do as much as the Contours listed above, but it's a good one. Limited colors. $380

Answer 2

You can get a 'double' kit for this, and a car seat which attaches too... it's expensive, but you can get it in a wide variety of colours...

And this can have a car seat attached in either seat, but the front seat is only suitable for 6 months plus (ideal for an older child)...

Have a look around the website and you might find others that are suitable too. A large number of the tandem pushchairs are suitable for a younger and older child, rather than twins (I had a problem earlier because a lady expecting twins couldn't find a tandem pushchair suitable - only the doubles (side-by-side) which she didn't want!!).

Answer 3

Is a pram like a stroller? Sorry, in the US we don't have any baby items that we call a "pram".

Answer 4

Congrats! My kids are 18 months apart. I love the age difference.

What is "pram"?
