Right... Ladies, I need your help!

Hi Serenity

Happy due date!!  Looked at both the MB and Phil & Teds here, I would say think about whether you plan on having 2 close together or not?  There will be 21 months between my youngest and bubs so we went with the P&T, it is a cool pram and Mr 21 months loves sitting in it just like EllaG Jess lol!  I had a pram I loved but had to get rid of it as it had no options for a toddler.  P&T has some cool accessories too such as a carseat adaptor and a carrycot that can be clipped in and out of the main seat if bubs is asleep.  Good luck with your decision they are both fantastic prams!

I have a mountain buggy which I really like but it does take up alot of room in the boot. How bigs ya car?

Haha, I don't drive - See that's the other thing I needed to keep into consideration. How easy it'll be to take on buses, trains etc... From what I can tell (I've not actually seen them side by side) The P&T's is somewhat more slimline which I guess would be a bit more appropriate. DF drives, we just don't have a car at the moment... Well, we do - But hardly a baby friendly one... Typical boy-racer!

I do like how the P&T's have the toddler seat attachment etc. As we'll probably look at having number 2 say, 2-3 years down the track.

I guess the main thing I'm loving about the Mountain Buggy is just how it looks lol - Bit superficial of me, I know. Also everyone raves on and on about the Mountain Buggy... But in saying that, P&T's weren't really that 'big' up until recently - Or at least that's the impression I've gotten from speaking to the likes of my Mum and the such

I absolutely hated using a bulky lie-down pram... Have you considered a sling? I'm tossing up whether to buy a sling for the next bubs, or just use Seb's frontpack untill it's big enough for his non lie-back stroller. We're already taking him out to some places (short distance - like to the park) without his stroller. And I did pay $80 for the frontpack then got lazy, and depressed and barely went out

With bigger prams you often have to fold them up for the bus - BIG PAIN if you're on your own with bubs and shopping... most drivers will just sit there and watch you struggle (apparently they're not allowed to help you because someone might drive off with the bus ) Trains are ok for most prams though.

We went for the MB and love it! Reasons for our choice are exactly the same as SimSams and the carrycot was FABULOUS for day time sleeps in the first few weeks!!

Happy due date!

I LOVE my P&T's...so easy to maneuver, slim line, easy to get in and out of the car (I know you said you didn't have one, but you may do in the future ), cool colours (!), etc...!

With the Mountain Buggy, how ieasy is it to get in/out of the reclining position etc? Cos they Phil&Teds have the zipper don't they...?

Not too sure if I like the zipper, seems a wee bit fiddly

Hmm, right. Well thank you guys so much! I think I'll go with the MB for now... Besides, they have a fairly high re-sale so when #2 does come along, we should be able to make a bit off money of the MB in order to buy a double pram of some description.

So once again, thanks heaps! I'm off to buy my Mountain Buggy

Enjoy! If I just had the one I'd probably consider a MB but I don't have that luxury so we have the Phil and Teds double and still trying to figure out how I'm going to manoeuver things when baby arrives coz the gremlins are fiendish little creatures that take off at any opportunity so really need to be tied down. I'm thinking about a sling for bub in the beginning.

LOL what a nice way to celebrate your due date!
