For me this was a no brainer to buy. When you have a 16mth old and a newborn you need something to move the children around though shops, walks, shows the list goes on.
At first I was worried I would never get the hang of it, but never fear I got the hang of it, it was easy to use and fit in the car nicely. When baby was sleeping I could pop him in the front part with the seat lying flat and pop the toddler seat on top where my 16mth old would sit. I could see the baby sleeping and he would stay asleep for a long time in there. I loved how the toddler seat was moveable, baby could also go in the back while toddler was in the top, my baby didnt mind sleeping in the back either.
As they both got older it was prefect putting the lighter one in the back (toddler seat hooks up down the back) and the other one in the front. This gave both children a ride and meant I didnt have to worry about how I was going to get around the shops.
My oldest stopped going in the pram about 2.5years old, so the younger one would sit in the front, the back toddler seat become a just in case for the other one. A bonus was more room to put shopping if the toddler seat wasn't being used.
For me this was a great product and I would buy it again if I needed to.

For me this was the best possible solution for having a newborn and a 2 1/2 year old. It allows me to use it as either a single or a double buggy as I really wasn't keen on having a side by side big buggy. I love being able to choose - of even having the option of my big boy to hop in if his legs get tired.
This buggy isn't perfect, the front wheel can be hard to manoeuvre up and down footpaths with both children in it, and it can also feel unbalanced at times. The wheels do not stay pumped up as well as you would expect either. Apart from these 'flaws' the buggy is pretty good. Its just disappointing that when you pay a lot of money, the design isn't quiet right.
The handle and break system when folding up is tricky - and unless someone has told you or you have had a good play around, it is hard to know how to get it to lock when you fold it down - its little features like this that let it down.
But again this really was the most suitable buggy for my lifestyle and even with my children being almost 4 and 16 months, they still both use it and it is great.
