wheels pop off really easy. i fit it in my 207 along with a maclaren.
i too pop off the front hood unless it's raining.
also, you dont really need the raincover. the footmuffs reach further up than the hood comes down, and they are huge. toddlers have loadsa room in them. my kids are both big and have plenty of room in them
it is easier to steer with smallest one in front. but as long as you keep tyres pumped up it's fine with older one in front.
without hood one my 2 play with each other and share snacks and play daft peek a bo games.
the front reclines plenty for sleeping in front. but when you have the bar on and footmuff folded over i often find my lo's fall asleep with their heads on this.
when you have car seat on front the hood meets the car seat hood so that you can see lo without older one in the back touching.
but you can also put car seat on the back if your older one likes to really bug the younger.
my lo's liked when older one was in the back and he could pull faces at younger one facing him in car seat.
the materials are also fantastic. wipe clean, i've had mine a year and i've never needed to put in washing machine. just a quick wipe down with a baby wipe and it looks like new.
also get a surfer board, or and older one can hitch hike on the front footrest.
