do you have to take seat off first? can you slide younger baby out. can older baby stay in toddler seat? can OB sleep whilst in TS??

I'm sure someone who has one will come on. But I think it looks like an instant slipped disc getting the baby out. My ds wouldn't sleep in the Toddler seat, but he is fussy.

Hermione1 · 23/04/2005 07:24

What sort of buggy are you talking about a tandum??

wheresmyfroggy · 23/04/2005 07:35

Baby can be taken out while older baby is still in toddler seat

older baby can sleep in toddler seat, but not as easily as normal seat cos it is fairly upright

champs · 23/04/2005 22:47

bobbybob -- it doesn't look too comfy does it? I wonder if it can reclinf when it is at back.

Hermione1 -- it is the one where seat is under or ontop.

wheresmyfroggy -- how? do you slide baby out the back? bit confused really have seen it in the flesh but not with kiddies in it close up.
does the toddler seat recline when under the seat?

There is space to get to the baby through the back under the toddler seat, the toddler seat doesn't recline until you have it set up for two older babies

PuffTheMagicDragon · 23/04/2005 22:54

I'm sure misdee has one of these. They look brill.

champs · 23/04/2005 23:48

wheresmyfroggy -- ah! can the toddler at back reach the floor and/ or wheel?

hi puff!! I am very tempted, was set to buy it but then started having doubts abd looked into side by side. but am tempted again.

Sorry champs haven't used it for two toddlers yet (dd1 18 months and dd2 12 days)

champs · 23/04/2005 23:58

oh, do you not put toddler in back? is there a reason for this? sorry bout all the q's!!

When you have toddler and small baby, small baby goes in back and toddler on top in toddler seat. when baby gets a bit older (3 months i think) it can go on top and toddler seat moves down to bottom

PuffTheMagicDragon · 24/04/2005 09:32

Champs, put a call out for misdee on here, she really likes hers.

ty lockets!! I am so tempted. do you think the rice is justified? I may start saving as I really can't bear the thought of side by side. so hard to get on bus and then there's the problem of aisles in shops.

puff, will do. thanks

I've got one! Misdee and I discuss them extensively. You can put the baby in with the child still in the seat. getting him/her out is never a problem, but as they get bigger, it is easier to put the baby in before the toddler gets in.

misdee · 25/04/2005 18:22

oooooo get one. i just slide dd3 in and out. if using it wioth just dd3, i find the cocoon excellant for taking her out and not disturbing her. shame she'll outgrow it soon.

moondog · 25/04/2005 18:23

Glad you and yourP&T are still enjoying a meaningful relationship misdee.

misdee · 25/04/2005 18:24

hehe. like i said, it gets used every day. tho am worrying that dd2 will wee on her seat (the joys of potty training)

loads of people comment on it when its used as a baby and toddler. i'm not used to the attention

moondog · 25/04/2005 18:41

Same here. Can you imagine the mini riot it causes on the streets of Eastern Turkey?! Hell, never mind Turkey,mine is the only one I've ever seen in north Wales!! When ds was newborn and the two of them were in it, people would say 'Where's the baby?' then have a fit when I turned it round.

champs · 25/04/2005 18:49

thanks misdee and moondog, dont think dh will thank you tho
is it heavy? does it fold up umbrella style? thank God for mumsnet, shop was abs useless couldn't ansa my Q's and put me right off.

OP posts:
misdee · 25/04/2005 18:51

its light to push, but heavey to carry IYKWIM. its easy enough to fold down, but not an unbrella fold. takes up the space of say, a graco pushchair in the boot. its small for what is essentially a double buggy.

moondog · 25/04/2005 18:51

It folds in half. Fairly heavy (as you would expect) but easy enough to lift,open and close.
Resale value is good too. My sister got £250 for hers after a year's good use.
