Double pram for toddler and newborn

I’m due in October and my daughter will be 3 in January. I was hoping I could get away just using the cosatto giggle quad for the new baby but I think the toddler is still going to need to use the pram too. So I need a double pram, able to hold a carry cot and a good sized toddler seat. I don’t want to spend too much as I don’t think the toddler will be in it for an awfully long time so happy to look for second hand but just need recommendations. Would prefer tandem than side by side, but one where the toddler has room.

I looked at ABC design Zoom, has anyone used it?

Can you fit a buggy board on your existing pram? My DD was under 2 when DS was born and we mostly use the buggy board

@Totallyconfusedperson unfortunately not. Cosatto don’t recommend using one. Although I have found one that works she’ll either have a face full of carrycot or I’ll have to use extenders on it which means she’ll be under my feet. She still often falls asleep in her pram too so I don’t think a buggy board is going to work for her.

Op I have the ABC zoom for my 9 month old and 21month old.
I love that the kids can face eachother and its really easy to push.
The downsides are that it's quiet bulky and takes a lot of space and the raincover that come with it was useless couldn't get it to fit on.

Hi, I have one that I am looking to sell, it's in really good condition, I was in the same situation as you a few months ago, a 3 year old that wasn't willing to walk much but now refuses to sit in the pushchair so I'm left with an empty seat, i am oftem using one seat on it and leaving the other at home, I am looking to sell mine, which is in really good condition as I haven't had it long, I now need a single one for my baby, my one has 2 seating units and the chassis as well as a raincover.

Thanks everyone, ended up buying an abc zoom, baby’s due in a few weeks so we’ll see how we get on with it. It’s absolutely massive so will take some getting used to but hoping to baby wear and use a buggy for shorter trips
