NUVO Pram

Hey OP, I’m so sorry this happened to you. I’m glad you’re all ok! I can’t answer your question re: 3 year olds not running, but I am a mum of 2 y.o. Twins and have tried every configuration of pram for two that there is. My main pram is my redsbaby Nuvo. It’s an inline pram, and the best thing about is that you can have two full size seats, so the average toddler won’t grow out of it in a hurry. You can also have bassinet + toddler seat, which I imagine would be great when baby is first born. My favourite thing about it is the basket space, it’s massive, even more so when there’s just one seat on (which is another advantage of the inline, you can convert it to just single use when toddle outgrows needing a pram). Cons are that it can be heavy when fully loaded with kids + misc stuff, and that the seats can’t recline when both are world facing. Neither is a major issue for me. I also have a side by side pram, a second hand valco snap duo. Pros are that it’s lighter to push as the weight is more evenly distributed, and the seats recline all the way back. Cons are that it’s bulky, basket space sucks, and I can’t use it for the rare occasion when I just have one kid. Another good side by side I see recommended is the Babybee Luna. A lot of twin parents start out with a donkey and move to one of the two I’ve referenced due to the sheer size and inconvenience of having to dismantle it to fold it. Your third option is getting any pram you like and sticking a toddler board seat thing on it. Both of mine have tried them out on my sister’s pram, and it is a good option for when they’re old enough to walk but sometimes get tired or you need to get somewhere in a hurry.

Oh and I forgot to add, the nuvo uses the same seat fabric for the bassinet and full size seat, which is super convenient

We have the nuvo and the basket size is great, can fit heaps of stuff in there. If you lie the seat flat then yeah the legs are at an angle rather than flat. Hasn’t caused us any problems though, bub happily sleeps in there with it flat and his legs up a bit. We haven’t had any issues with it generally, quality is really good. Would happily buy from them again

RedsBaby Nuvo. I did a lot of research and it ticked all our boxes. They’ve come out with a newer model, Nuvo 2, so you can get the old model at a discount. Or the newer one has improve features. Up to 3 children can use it at once with the skateboard feature.

Probably need to know what kind of car you drive, or at least the size. FWIW, I was able to do costco runs with a regular pram in the boot (Redsbaby Nuvo) when my son was younger and I drive a compact Prius. Toilet paper and nappies in the backseat, heavy stuff on the floor in the back, rest of the stuff packed around the pram in the boot. It was jammed in there but it worked! You can go to baby bunting and see how the prams fit in your boot. We found going to a baby expo really helpful since it seems like a lot of prams are only sold online- it gave us a chance to try them out and see what worked for us.

It's long! It's longer than my redsbaby nuvo and my son is tall too. His legs go into the basket though but that is quite common with the travel pram style.
