Double buggy with car seat above bottom seat?

Hi, does anyone know of a double buggy which has a rear facing car seat ABOVE the bottom seat? Rather than one in front of the other which makes it riduculously long!

Bugaboo donkey and I think one of the baby jogger doubles.
I am pretty sure Queen of buggies Tiggy will be along shortly to confirm Grin

A tandem or a side by side?
A tandem like the B-Dual or TFK Joggster Twist or a Phil&Teds or a side by side like the Bugaboo Donkey or TFK Twinner Twist Duo?

P&T tandems (like Vibe, Sport, whatever the new version of the Sport is called) let you have toddler on bottom seat, and car seat on top, above main seat. In this set up, the main seat is not actually used.

Ok, so a tandem. Look also at the iCandy Pear - one of the shortest tandems, and iCandy Peach; the Kidz Kargo Duellette; baby jogger city Select as well. There are quite a few more but I would be interested to see which were of interest.

Thank u! None of those any good I'm afraid, they r still either one in front of the other, or not rear facing.

Ummmm so do you want both seats to rear face? I know of nothing but the kidz kargo duellette with 2 rf seats that are kind of stacked... the Pear has 2 rf seats, the City select etc. at the slightly longer end of the spectrum. How short do you want/need it to be?!?

what about the mima kobi?

mammainlove · 20/07/2012 20:13

Rear facing car seat above for newborn, forward facing below for toddler. I will check out mima kobi, thank u.

The city select will do that for you. I saw a lady pushing one in that exact configuration.

Ihateparties · 20/07/2012 21:17

I don't think the Kobi rear faces but I could be wrong. Oh course, it will with a car seat on! Jane Twone does this, rebel on top, toddler underneath. Does the Peach Blossom 2 not? B Dual definitely. Hauck Duett, Hauck Freerider.. erm... All kinds of phil and teds.
Still thinking.. there must be more...

I really dont understand what you mean by the seats not being one in front of the other. I dont really know of any pushchair where the seats stack like a double decker - the Mima Kobi in carrycot mode or the Peach Blossom are the only ones where the carrycots stack - but the seats and car seats don't.
The Kobi, the last I heard, wasn't safety tested for a car seat with the lower seat in situ - you can have a carrycot and car seat.
Tribble is right in that the best you will get is a BJCS like this but its awful to push - the baby seat is too high and you can barely see over it. Which means you have absolutely no idea where the front child's feet are. I lasted all of about ten minutes with it and bashed my daughters legs into a display at which point I swapped the children over so that the baby was facing me at the front, and the child forward facing at the rear - I never put it in that configuration again. Not to mention it was heavy to lift the baby that high up and then lower them precisely whilst in the air onto adaptors!

The Peach Blossom has a rear facing car seat but at the bottom with the toddler forward facing on top. Its one of my favourite car seat / tandem positions. The B-Dual is also lovely with the toddler underneath forward facing, and the baby is fairly close to you parent facing on top. Phil&Teds and Twone are similar. TBH if these don't suit, then I am not sure anything else will. The options are very very limited at present.
