i am currently 3 months pregnant with my second baby. my daughter will be 22 months when this little one arrives. i would really like a double buggy which has a pram/carrycot for the newborn and a buggy on the other side. the only ones i have seen are the first wheels and mountain ones. does anyone know if they are worth it as both are very expensive or do you know any other makes?

Might it be useful to mention the type of fabric, water or showerproof material, covering to pram hoods and covers?

Purchase of a waterproof cover may a necessary additional expenditure, i.e for those parents, without a vehicle, needing to take their baby when accompanying an older child to school in heavy rain.
