is this stroller good for infants also? or is that only if you buy the second seat?

I have a Phil & Ted. It has an infant position - you lean the stroller all the way back. Although you probably need to buy accessories to pad it and make it more infant sized and friendly. The second seat is actually only for older babies.
I love it by the way.

I bought the Phil and Ted single when I had my daughter, the newborn position is totally flat which they say is best for newborns. If you look at the website's pictures you will see that the baby does seem a little low down, but really it's fine. The more problematic age is from approx. 3-6 months because the baby is big enough to enjoy seeing the world around, but still too little to be sitting up flat. The recline position is not recommended by the company until the baby is 6 months old, so it's a little annoying at that stage. I'm planning on buying the second seat when I give birth iy"H and I'm so happy that I thought ahead and bought this one...
I'll be happy to answer any more questions about this stroller.
Also, although it looks like a jogger, really it's meant for regular walking and NOT jogging.

Thanx for the info! I heard that it doesn't have much basket space below. From the pictures online it looks like it has a decent amount of space, until you put the second seat below. Do you think it has a nice amount of space?
I want to be able to fit more than a diaper bag.

The space is decent - but no, probably not for much more than a diaper bag - although I've stuffed more things there. They do sell tons of (expensive) accessories, like these pouches that attach to the side of the stroller.

I think that it has a decent amount of space but it can't handle a lot of weight anyhow, so the space isn't so useful. When I overload it the wheels lose air. I don't have the second seat yet so I don't know how much space there is with it.
