The master plan has always contemplated 3, so we'll see where that goes...

As for the Phil & Ted's, I've heard a lot of good things about it, but mostly from moms on listservs rather than IRL. I also think it looks very cool, and I would have bought one after my duaghter is born, but for not wanting to jinx anything by buying something for a second baby. The only negative points I have heard, though, are (1) that its size and weight render it a better neighborhood stroller than trunk of the car stroller, and (2) that as the toddler gets heavier, it seems like the lower seat might become uncomfortable.
As for point (1), there is no magic bullet stroller anyway, so later on you could get a MacClaren twin or similar lightweight double once #2 is old enough to sit up in it; and as for point (2), that may just be projection of an adult's idea of comfort and the kids don't really care (which some parents do report), and the real point of the double stroller for a toddler/infant pair is to have a place for #1 son to sit when he gets tired of running around.

Thanks, RP. We live in Center City Phila. and basically walk everywhere, so a neighborhood stroller is what we are after. I like that the e3 is basically no bigger than a single; plus, the fact that it has a lie-flat basinette will be ideal for the first few months of No. 2.

Mostly to raise your ire.
Two is a fine start. Congratulations, AdL. |

We do it to be helpful. Duh. (And I have two. I know how to take advice that's offered in the spirit of helpfulness.)

Anyone with a master plan for babies is destined to get triplets when trying for that last one . . .

Is there any advice that's not offered in the spirit of helpfulness? Even if there were, there is really only one way to take advice regarding one's reproductive plans. |

Congrats!
Personally, if I were getting a double for kiddos of those ages, I would get a Baby Jogger City Series Double or a Mountain Buggy Urban Double (I have the MB single and it pushes like a dream). With kids that young the 2nd one will probably be in a stroller for a while yet. I really really looked into getting the P&T for the chicklet, in hopes of adding the double when number 2 came. I didn't like the total lack of storage in doubles mode and the pannier bags didn't do it for me. I vaguely remember some complaints about it getting tippy when the older one gets out depending on where you put them in toddler-toddler mode maybe??? However, saving $$ was obviously not my priority or I wouldn't have ended up with 3 strollers for 1 kid. I would check out the reviews on the stroller board at babybargains.com, as the people that frequent that board are extremely up on all of the ins and outs of the doubles options. |

With a notable lack of one's usual sense of humor and joie de vivre?

Make sure he builds a garage to fit your conversion van. A station wagon won't handle that load. |
