No recommendations of a brand, but have you thought of a toddler seat to attach to the pram? Just a cheaper option

We loved the double buggy from Phil & Teds; very easy to maneuver and super strong, great for town, city and bush walks

I have the baby jogger City select and my kids are 22months apart. Love it as a single or in double mode. So easy to steer and also fold up. I also like how I can have the seats facing me or facing away.

Steelcraft Striders are excellent prams, very easy to maneuver and you can buy a second seat attachment. That’s what I used for mine :).

i had a bugaboo side by side when my kids were little (20months apart)
it was good for walks, they would hold hands, so cute. but it was annoying through shops because it was to wide.

I love my bugaboo donkey – it’s super versatile for how the kids want to sit, and converts with a side basket if one doesn’t want to sit in the pram.

Baccani prams
You can put both seats in each side and and each way possible witch for me is a huge plus. Also you can add an car capsule if needed. In the future if the second bub is bigger you can switch the bassinet with another seat.

The most important feature for us – and hard to find in a double pram – was being able to flip the handle over, to have the kids either facing us or facing out. We actually wound up with a no name brand. Worked for us.

I love the versatility of the baby jogger city select plus. Find its comfy for the kids without being too bulky.
