A single front wheel can turn sideways as you lift it onto/off a kerb and stop the buggy dead - it's pretty dangerous actually - worth bearing in mind.

Our Quinny Zap is ace, btw. One of the best bits of baby kit I've seen. Not for a lil baby though as it doesn't go flat and they can't see you.

We have a baby jogger city elite it is great but..... The mrs found it heavy for lugging in and out of the car plus you have to take the wheels off. So we bought a cheaper lightweight Graco for shopping duties. If I had my time again i would have got the city mini ah well you live and learn (expensively!!)

In the same boat here - 1st one on the way and I've been asking around for advice. All those we know who have kids are advising us to buy a Phil and Teds. The advice being that we live in the country and have a dog who needs walking (big wheels bit) and also that we are planning on two kids (god willing) and the stackem-up function of the P&T is ideal. Most who have had other pushchairs ended up buying one when they had a 2nd child anyway.... John Lewis have them at 289 at the moment. Second hand values are good too. Maxi-Cosi with isofix also!

P&T are very strong but for some reason awful for getting flat tyres. Maybe a tubeless conversion would work?!

Just put gunk in the tubes.

Depends on how quick you intend to turn 2 kids around. If you plan for 2 now you'll only end up with twins for the "second" child ;0)

Someone who lives near us (our neighbours are friends with them) wanted a third child. They ended up with triplets. 😯

We were put off by quinnys by the fact that every one we looked at (in a few shops) was broken, didn't seem a great selling point!

Re slings, my usual plug for my friend Phil [url= http://www.littlepossums.co.uk/ ]at little possums[/url] she will sort you out. We tried on a few at nct the other week and I'm going to a Kari-me. It looks complicated, but it's actually dead easy to put on.
