hi girls. wasnt sure which forum would be able to help me with this but decided that at some point you may have had this problem too and know what to do for the best.
i have just found out im pregnant and due in jan when my son will be 18 months. so i will be buying a double buggy for them both. now i would prefer a side by side as i wouldnt want the baby to only see the back of his brothers head once they can sit up! but someone said to me that it would be hard to push and steer due to the differnce in weight on either side!!!! did any of you have this problem? it wasnt even something i had considered would be a problem but i guess it sounds like it might be right!!
anyway any help would be great.

On the up side you can get in and out of normal sized doors and as it's the same width as a normal pushchair you don't have to have your arms wide apart to reach the handles.
Not really the answer you were looking for but I thought I'd share anyway.
I did push a friends 3 wheeler side by side and it was actually suprisingly smooth and well balanced.
I must admit I dont like the front and back ones as like you I dont like the thought of baby looking at someones head the whole time when its bigger lol . that and you need extra long arms to reach the child in front quickly lol...if like ds1 when he was in the pushchair..a perfect escape artist lol!
as your toddler is going to be mobile have you considered a buggy pod or stokke bike instead??
buggy pod is like a lil side car for your pram for toddler to sit in and they cost around ??80 or a stokke bike is like a bike that clips to pram so older child just sits n rides behind pram next to you. i have had both and loved both!!! the only critisism is with stokke bike (think they call them stroli riders? try ebay stoke bike strolli rider?) if toddler riding the bilke falls asleep then they fall off !
anyway hope some of that helps lol

i have had a few doubles over the years.The best I have had is the jet pulse from mamas and papas. Fo some reason it is really easy to push even with different weights. The wheels are really swivellery (is that a word?) the hood i a bit of a pain but it has been by far the best.
Congrats on your pregnncy...enjoy!
