Does anyone have this or have a review? And do you know if the big kid can face forward while the infant bucket seat is attached? I can't tell by looking online. Thank you!

I think this is the one that we have and I'm a big fan. I don't know about your question though since we didn't get this until DS2 was out of the bucket seat. DS1 hasn't ever faced forward in it. He prefers to sit facing me or to stand.

@MUI831: Thanks! How old is your oldest? I'm not sure my daughter will love facing me and not out, although things may be different in a few months (26 months if baby arrives when s/he is suppose to)

DS1 is now 4 but we started using it when he was 3. The thing is, if she's facing forward, she will always have her vision blocked by your younger child. So it's almost like when she's facing you, she will be facing out. Do you have a store nearby that has one that you could test out? I took DS1 with me to a Buy Buy Baby to let him try out as I was nervous to see what he thought. He was totally fine with it and has loved it ever since.

@MUI831: You answered my question, thanks! I wasn't sure if the extra seat you could buy (the joovy too) could be put in front. It's out of stock near me now, but I will keep checking. Thanks!

@ocean81: So I was thinking that the one negative to a stroller like this is that you can kiss stroller naps goodbye. But we were way past that anyways.

@MUI831: ah. Thank you! I should probably wait to see how my daughter is in May. We live in the city and she needs to be strapped in!

@ocean81: we bought this when my boys were 6 months and 26 months. We have never used it with a car seat just the normal seats but did get the extra Joovy seat. We didn't think our older son had the readiness for that amount of freedom. We thought we would put our oldest in the front and baby in the rear but he actually really likes having his baby brother in front of him so he can reach over and pat him on the head and see him. My eldest is also really tall and with the second seat, the basket under the stroller becomes where their feet go so it gives him a lot of leg room whereas the front they just sorta dangle. I put him in there unbuckled sometimes and he can sorta poke up on the seat on his knees and look around but not have the freedom to run off if he was strictly in the sit and stand. My boys are both long and tall so they were in normal stroller seats by 4-ish months. Before then we just put DS1 in a single stroller and wore baby in the Ergo.

@gingerbebe: thanks! This was helpful. I'm having a hard time finding a double stroller that doesn't cost a million dollars! My daughter didn't like to be worn, but hopefully this baby will as it seems like life would be easier.
