What about this?

http://www.babywhiz.com/5066.html
Has anyone ever used this before? I saw it in person in Marshmallow Kisses and the size, weight, handling, versatility of it was very impressive. However, the whole newborn on the bottom thing may be a little nervous for me.

I actually have this one on my registry at babiesrus, and it's not heavy, does sooo many different things, and I was impressed with this one as well. The only thing with it would be it is soooo long. I was zooming around babiesrus with it and it takes corners quite nicely  However there is no way to see if you are going to hit someone coming out of an aisle.

Any suggestions or comments on these or a different one?

I think the first one is cool, but think of having to pick up a thirty pound toddler up out of it   It also doesn't look too sturdy to me, with just a rope/chain type thingy holding up the bottom seat.
I like the Kolkraft better (however, i'm not a mom  )

I like the top one better. It looks alot easier to manuver. Of course, on my budget I'd definately get the cheaper one, and actually one that's substantially less expensive at that!

I have the Phil and teds and love it. I know people who have the second one and they dont like how you have to remove a seat to fold it up but that is the only thing I have heard. But if you have the money or someone wants to buy you the phil and teds I would go for it. I love mine.

It is a very sturdy stroller and it is better qualty then the kolcraft. The second seat is not held up by ropes and chains.

By the time the he actually makes it to thirty pounds, I should be able to unsnap it and hold his hand to get out. That's how it is with most things with my toddler. She's miss independent. That will probably be a while,though! My two year old is only 23 pounds! I was always super tiny and my husband as well, until he started with the whole weight lifting in high school. So I can pretty much assume we will have small kids.

I'm so glad i found someone with it! Did you put your newborn in the bottom like it shows?

At first the toddler is on top untill the baby sits. then the second seat gets moved down. I have used it in both ways withfriends babies and never had problems.. Here is a review from another board I go on

It has pictures and all (for some reason the pictures are really small but you can save them to your computer and zoom in on them)

Thanks! That was helpful, however, is there no storage for a diaper bag, my purse, shopping bags, etc??? If I pay that much money I want some damn storage! Also, have you had an issue with no sun shade for the bottom one?

You can still kind of get to the basket. I shade the baby on the bottom. They have lots of things you can get for all that. Here are some links

Also I have a friend that has a diaper bag that will hang on the handler bar and then hangs over the second seat. Let me see if I can find a picture for you
