Phil & Teds?

For those who have one, how does your toddler deal w/the 2nd seat? I really want a stroller that I can take anywhere rather than have 3 different strollers. I plan to keep my lightweight stroller for DS and wear baby at first but I'd also like the option of having a double that works as a single now before next LO is born and then when DS no longer needs the stroller. I would love any feedback. FWIW, I am thinking of getting a used sport or explorer.

I have the P&T sport. Both of my big kids (now 4 and 2) tolerate the jump seat. It's hard with a newborn because if the baby is in the carseat (with adapter) the 2nd seat has very little room. The first seat is fully reclined to allow for the carseat adaptor. I love that it's a double and I can go anywhere with it. I did just get a BJCM double because I've never been a fan of the P&T with a newborn/infant. I'm keeping the P&T and will use it when I am going somewhere where the SBS isn't going to work.

Yea, I think you're not technically supposed to use the 2nd seat w/the infant seat which is one reason I've thought about spending the extra money on the classic but wondering if I can deal with it for a few months. I may get a sit and stand or something to hold me over...something I know I won't love but may do the trick.

I watch a baby and take my DD with; I use the P&T Sport.

When the baby was an infant, I would recline the front seat all of the way and put the baby in there with a Snuzzler insert. The jump seat attached in the front, and I put my DD in there.  It worked well for the first few months.

Now my DD sits in the front seat and the baby sits in the back. The jump seat has a 30 pound weight limit, and my DD just passed that, so there is no other option.

I had the P&T Sport, but I just sold it to the get the b-ready. I love my b-ready a lot more than my P&T.

I had major issues with my tires on the P&T. I had to keep a pump in my car, because sometimes I would get the stroller out and the tires would be almost flat. However, you really had to monitor how much air you put in, because if you got too much then the stroller was wobbly. It was a PITA.

The b-ready folds with the second seat attached, and has a higher weight limit. The front seat is 55lbs and the second is 35lbs (I think). My DD sits in either one without issue. I like that the second seat also reclines and has a sun shade.

I paid $352 for my b-ready on amazon right now. Plus, the second seat is free.
