Pram for baby + medium sized dog?

I’m expecting my first in August and starting pram research now; I wondered if anyone could recommend a solid pram that is capable of taking the weight of 20kg dog as well as bambino? She isn’t a big dog but she’s solid muscle so whilst she would fit in shopping basket of most models, I see their weight capacity is usually under 10kg (though not sure how accurate that is really?). It would only be for occasional use as she is a pretty good walker but I just know she will try to hitch a ride if she’s tired.

I’ve looked at double prams as an option as assume they have a higher weight limit over all, but I think I’d feel like a bit of a twat pushing around a baby and dog in a seat so would need a clever way to adapt it.

Done lots of googling/reading old threads and it may be that a solution doesn’t exist for a heavier dog - but thought it was worth asking from real world experience/ suggestions! I don’t have a budget, just want something that would last.

What do you do on your walks with her at the moment? Does she have her own pram? Just wondering why she would suddenly need to hitch a ride. If she does have doggy transportation I would just baby wear the baby in a sling instead of using a pram.

You can’t put your dog in a pram with your newborn.

She doesn't mean in the bassinet she means in the shopping bit underneath I've seen people doing this loads of times

Sorry the comment about getting a double and having the dog in a seat confused me.

Oh yes just seen that bit also. Sorry I was only looking at their other part.
I've only ever seen them in the shopping basket part but if the dog is that big do they need a lift?!

What breed is it?

Uppababy vista has an absolutely enormous basket. I thought it would be fine for you but ive just looked it up and the official weight limit is 13.6kg, so id be surprised if there's one on the market that's got a bigger limit. I guess you could risk it, but you'd probably void your warranty. Uppababy have a pretty good repair service, but you might have to pay if it was caused by a dog. Is your dog definitely 20kg? When was she last weighed?
