All those who got along with their PHIL & TED'S - advise please

I am trying to get along with my P&T, and not swap it for a mountain buggy which is so much bulkier. At the mo ds is 3 months and dd is 2,3mo

1. in two toddler mode it looks really upright for a 6 month old. what happens if they want to or fall asleep?

2. can i put older child in the underneath seat, as i feel really bad for tiny baby not to see anything - he is only just learning what the world looks like.

3. havent ordered pannier bags as havent seen them before ordering. How much can you fit? At the moment cannot fit in the basket bread, milk and fruit. (which i like to get every two days or so walking locally)

4. in newborn mode the sun was in my baby's face and there was northing i could do, so he just screamed. Will this also be a prob in toddler mode?

any advice will be appreciated, esp as my dh does not want to swap it - he loves it. only prob is i am the one who needs to push it!

ps. did it work out good as a hop in hop out sort of buggy when your toddler wants to walk? i am looking forward to it being a better version of buggy board, and so may put up for it for that.

Hi, i swapped my P&T for the MB. 22 month and 6 month when purchased, hated it, the seat at the back was to upright and the 6 month couldn't sleep. Have MB worth every penny, rugged, easy to steer, etc etc, wouldn't change it, only wished i had one from day one.

I'm with you on all your points, MumToAnne, though I can't advise, I'm too new to the P&T myself. I've had the sun on the newborn's face situation already. Funnily enough, it was my DH that bought ours!
