Phil & Teds double sport... anyone know?....
Morning
I have just bought the Phil & Teds double sport. I have a 2 year old girl and my little boy was due yesterday!! lol
I have been looking online but cant find the answer i am looking for so thought that maybe someone on here might know?...
Basically, i have bought the car seat adaptor for my Maxi- Cosi as i would like the baby to be facing me for a while and attached the double kit onto the back for my 2 year old girl. She climbed right in and loves it! But then i noticed on box it says you cant use double kit with the car seat attached as its too unstable! But to me it seems totally fine as shes really light and its showing no signs of tipping back etc.
Has anyone used the pram in this way and what do you think?
Look forward to some advice, Sharon x

I always thought this was possible as its s fab idea, but theres a pic on the box of it used ths way with a big X through it saying its unsafe and unstable.
Ive been googling all morning but cant really find anything.
Thanks

Yeah it could be incase it tips! If i do try it that way ill be very careful.
Yes i am 40+1 so anyday now!! Im at that annoyed desperate point lol x
However the sport is not made for it. It might be possible to do so, but I wouldn't risk it if the pushchair wasn't made for it. But it is your choice to do what you want. Just remember that there is a balance issue with putting the heavy child in the back and it might cause some problems at some point.
I think that the new phil and teds explorer is designed so that you can have baby in car seat on the top and toddler at the back
I'm fairly sure that you aren't supposed to use it like that when you have a toddler underneath.
This is why they made the explorer differently and promote the fact that you can.
Personally i wouldn't risk it. It may seem safe now while baby (if arrived yet) is still little, but once he/she starts gaining weight it may be dangerous.
If you have just bought the double you should have 28 days to return it and swap for explorer as long as you haven't used it outside.
